I got a map server right after we completed the task force so we took the picture in front of Statesman. In the MoSTF folder you can find the mapserver completion pic. This run was a bit different in that Scrappy did the tanking other than Ghost Widow. I was able to relax more this run which was a change of pace for me.
Congratulations to Cindy Cinders on earning the MSTF badge. It was our version of an "easy MSTF" with 7 experienced runners. In the future I'd like to try to expand the run into 2 teams running when we have so many available and interested.
I have MLK off on Monday so I may try to organize a morning run. I'd like to get some of those who have different play schedules on a MSTF attempt. Several have chimed in on this thread in the past and have not, to my knowledge, joined us on a run. So if you're interested in running Monday, *hoping it happens*, sign up here.
Tentative run Monday, Jan 19, 10 am pacific time
Also usual Thursday evening run Jan 22 6 pm
Thursday? Sounds good, I want to do it. I need the badge for my level 50 Scrapper, Suriel MA/SR
Suriel- Scrapper MA/SR

We had a lot of interest in MSTF this morning and we had a volunteer to start a 2nd team. Both teams ended up running with 4 buffs/debuffs, 3 damage and a tank. The other team finished first, with special recognition to Scrappy McDeath for leading the team and taking charge in starting a second team.
They started slightly before us and finished in a shorter time too: team 39
This was our team 40.
And this was most of the two teams.
Congratulations to all the new MSTF badges:Attack, AZ Sunspot, Batholitus, Dark Ra, Lupa-Dupa, Psiotic Fire, STANDOFF, Supa-Dupa, and to Dead Joseph on multiple badges including MSTF and hitting level 48.
We will still try to have the Monday morning run previously mentioned.
Wish I had Monday off.
Pencil me in for Thursday though.
First STF for me PERIOD.

I can join the run on Monday with my kin/electric defender, Phoebe.
Thanks!

A little bit liek 1-2 hr earlyer and i;d be there for sure ... will have to see how tiered i am by then, it;s bene a long night at work 
I'm sorry that last minute circumstances forced me to miss the Monday morning run. I'm glad to see the channel being utilized to form runs even when I'm not available. Unfortunately we haven't had any winning runs this week including our regular run last night. Ghost Widow picked the other tank out of the crowd and Soul Stormed him.
After that death, the scrapper took more chances and was the other death in melee to one of the Inner Circle. It was a good run with just 1 kin, 1 emp, 1 rad for support with a completion time at about 2.5 hours. A couple people had their first attempt with us and I think they enjoyed themselves despite the deaths.
Most likely no runs this weekend. Next run will be the usual Thursday.
Hey impyre, if i can get my stone tanker up to atleast lvl 46-48 this weekend ild like to try and run it with him and a mate thats a invuln/fire tank *lvl 50* thats been wanting to run a STF and MoSTF for a while...... this be yar Iced Jester...... anywho if he does get that high... ild like to try the role of the Primary tank XD, and if he doesnt get that high my mate will join on his own
Well we had a successful MoSTF run yesterday (Sat. 31-Jan-09). Hearty congratulations to MOD 3B, Dutch Domestic Lion, Wiki Gravbot and Ertha! They earned not only MoSTF but all the other associated badges.
Time for completion was a touch over 3 hours with a team comp of 3x trollers, 2x defenders, 1x tank, 1x blaster and 1x scrapper. I'm sure Imp has a cleaner screenshot than the one I would have provided. Hopefully, he'll get a chance to upload a pic to the MoSTF photobucket folder in the near future.
Special thanks to everyone on the team for their patience. It took a bit to get started, but we got the win in the end. Congrats all!

We did run the previous Thursday, the 29th. Despite the hurdles which included having a cyst spawn too close to Aeon for my taste, the run went smoothly. That is until we had Mako decide to join the party we were throwing for Black Scorpion. The team gave warning but he had defeated a Controller before I could find him and react. With the death the scrapper felt encouraged to be more aggressive and we finished with 5 deaths or so. A lesson learned or remembered for us is to deal with Mako before Scorpion because Mako can be very hard to see until it's too late when he adds to a fight.
Welcome back Talbein Vikshus. Talbein aka Wiki Gravbot organized the team 1/31 last Saturday that went so well. It was nice to be able to relax and have another person give out the bulk of the instructions and lead. Congrats to that team and to Talbein for leading the run; may he lead many more.
I still wasn't feeling well last night, (been sick since the weekend), but decided to run anyways. My goal was to get the run in and log early but that wasn't to be. We ran with a team 2/5 that had very strong defensive buffs. It turned out to be the second longest winning run to date at just over 4 hours; Flamewrath, your record is still safe . We had timing issues both with afks and with disconnects on top of longer than normal instructions given for those unfamiliar with STF. We had some scary moments due to miscommunication during a called retreat from Lord Recluse for a Flier respawn but it worked out.
Congratulations to the MSTF and Saved the World badge earners: Nightcutter, Zues Tank, eagle beak., and Delphinia. Congratulations to Zealblaze on MSTF. Zues Tank had never gotten past the Vine AV room previously while Nightcutter and eagle beak. were on their first STF attempts ever.
I probably won't be around this Saturday but it's possible someone will organize a run.
Oh thank goodness, I couldn't bear not being the record holder! 
Congratulations to all the aforementioned people!

Standard 6 pm run tonight. If we have a good turnout, I hope someone will take up the leadership for a second team.
Advanced notice: A run on Monday the 16th is possible; we get to off for President's Day. 
Just want to confirm, are the times here all EST, or a different time zone?

No MSTF badges were earned last night but it was still a successful run. I was expecting to have enough to field 2 teams last night so I stacked the first team with as much experience as I could manage. The tank, while a veteran of many runs on other alts, was tanking MSTF for the first time. The team had 5 buffers/debuffers, 2 blasters and a fire tank (not me ). They had a really good run but had a single death at Ghost Widow when she Black Holed the tank. It was an excellent run with much promise for future runs. Thanks again to everyone that stepped up to get that first (and only) run going.
In hindsight, I suggested that Inferno create a bind for the Black Hole situation in future runs. It is not uncommon for this to happen. Any regulars that are able to should monitor the tanks buff icons and help alert the team of "Black Hole" on the tank in the future.
The 2nd team run didn't happen due to the lack of a viable team. I was expecting a couple of regulars to log back on but they had RL intrude. Having 3 tanks and a scrapper and trying to fill with buffers/debuffers wasn't going to happen in a reasonable time so we ran an ITF instead.
when's the next one?

Normal schedule. Although I was on Monday during the day, I didn't initiate a run nor were there any requests.
ok, took some time, but I think I found the answer to my own ???
the MSTF or (MOSTF) is the Master of Statesman's Task Force correct?
Yes

The run was smooth until Aeon. A regular had recently hit 50 on his shield tanker and I let him take the lead through much of the early AV fights. In hindsight I probably should have tanked Aeon due to his unpredictability but I didn't. It was one of those situations where Aeon KO'd the tank before anyone had a chance to react.
One bright side of the failure was it provided more opportunity for the tank to test his limits and find out what he needs to do for the final mission. After the failure we took a few more chances and pushed some for speed. We finished in 2:15 or so, quick for us.
Talbein took the leadership reins for last night's run, which I greatly appreciate. If I seemed to have long pauses where I stood around during some battles it was due to an abundance of tells. I'm sure a lot of it was repetitive and other parts unnecessary minutia. The vast majority was to the tank and Talbein. Hopefully the various tidbits will pay dividends in future runs.
The team consisted of 2 tanks, 1 scrapper, 1 blaster, 1 emp defender, 2 rad defenders, and 1 kinetic defender. With the team make up, Ghost Widow figured to be the biggest obstacle; we just took that battle slowly with the scrapper and myself staying out of melee. She turned out to be not much of a problem. We finished with 5 deaths total.
All in all, it was a fun time and it was nice to have a rapid run.
I won't be around much Saturday so it will be up to others to set up a run. A few voiced interest in running during the weekend and Talbein and Scrappy will probably take the lead on getting a Saturday run set up. Ask and listen in on "STF Masters" Saturday morning to see if a run is organized.
Definitely plan on a Saturday morning run for tomorrow (21-Feb-2009). I'm looking to setup a run around 10:15-30 am pac time. Depending on interest, there may even be multiple teams. I tipped off a few regulars so there will be at least one team going for sure.
Though we didn't get MoSTF yesterday, we still completed. It was a pretty good run though considering the 5 drops and length of time.

My cursed blaster will be there. If needed I am willing to tank though.
I will be available with some or other character :-)

really want to run it again before they change ignight on live right now i fell liek a AV killign machine i fell that may change a bit soon....
It was a very smooth run with no real close calls that I can remember. The team listened to and executed the plan to perfection. I bored the team with a steady stream of: "Attack the AV only" though in my defense only one person fell asleep during the run.
Congratulations to Mortal Prey III, Leech Hawk & Alecia on earning the MSTF badge. Special Kudos to Megaera Fey & Madam X on earning both MSTF and Saved the World badges on this run. Madam said the furthest she'd been on a STF previously was one that ended in the Vine AV room. Megaera had never been on a STF run before so we made sure she got to see Aeon's cutscene.
Both Leech Hawk and Alecia are longtime veterans on various alts while Mortal crossed into veteran status at some unspecified point recently. For anyone wondering, we had 2 radiation defenders and 1 empathy defender.
Most likely no run this weekend. Next scheduled run will be next Thursday, January 15 at 6 pm.
