Or I may just take the 3 Crabs to the Snake level 50 map and smash 50-100 52 snakes at a time with guys in tow.

oh take me with you please !!! 
Team 1:
3 Arachnos Crab Soldiers
3 Merc/Dark MMs
Right now the crabs are 45 and the MMs are 35-39
Strategy:
I put the 3 Crabs on my nice fancy desktop. I have 3 windows. A larger one on the left and 2 smaller ones on the right where one is above the other. The two crabs on the right are following the one on the left and firing through their target. My buttons are setup 4 for Venom, 5 for Frag, 3 for Suppression. My right two crabs have Venom on autofire. The MMs stand at the door of missions and pick their noses. They aren't worth bringing.
Strategy:
I walk the Crab on the left up to a pack in ideal cone rage. I click target a boss and push the 4 key. Three Venom Grenades fire (two on auto). I push the 3 Key for suppression. Click window on upper right, 3 for 2nd suppression. Click window on lower right, 3 for 3rd suppression. Click window on left, 5. Click, 5. Click, 5. I can fire all 9 attacks without any pauses in animation.
Spawn is dead. Next pack. I wish I had made the three MMs as 3 more crabs. I figured 3 was my limit on max firing Suppression/Frag grenade. I was probably right. However, the Mercs just don't really do anything. It be nice to have more Crabs when my bros/friends are able to play.
The Thug/Storms played in a similar manner. I drove the first one into a pack. Dropped 2 Freezing Rains (of 4 or 5 possible). The enemies died. I walked to the next pack and dropped the other 2 Freezing Rains. It's quite silly.
I'm hoping the Zombie Squad works in a similar manner.
Unless it's giving something away, I would love to see a screencap of this.

Hm. So have you tried throwing bile spray into the mix instead of suppression? Damage is better, in my experience. Especially after three venom grenades.

We'll roll on Justice once I have a level 35 character on Justice My Ill/Rad is only in the 20s. I started a 1 Fire/Kin, 2 Fire/Sonic, 2 Fire/FF controllers on Justice who are all level 20-22. They are silly.
Maybe I'll have an easier time getting to 35+ if I am able to purchase some Justice people who can do the work for me at an auction type thing. Any idea when such a thing might happen?

We'll have to figure out a good time for you to Smasherate on the Brute again. If there is a certain Strike Force you want to run we can run that. We ran a ludicrous Relentless RSF the other day. We finished in an hour, barely skipped anything and mostly used a "we're killing everything in out path" strategy. We even Team TP'd into the final showdown with the Freedom Phalanx.

I want to have it in Febuary sometime if i can scrape some inf together for prizes. And on that note you wouldn't be cruel like that and buy me to pl you right? That would be tourture beyond tourture and i know your not that mean.
edited to include:
well my darling bunny i just started a thread for the event on the Justice board so I can get my butt moving.
Any update on this project?

The 3 Crabs are 49. I'll probably be getting the Snake farm later tonight or tomorrow.
The MMs just aren't as fun as the storm MMs on Freedom. It became like work so I'm going to get all the guys probably into the 20-30s by the end of the month and return large portions of the money. It just has gotten like work and I don't really need the money.
Ouch--not the outcome I was expecting. Hrm--if you were to do it all over again, what would you change? Did you discover anything you weren't expecting?

Bet he was not expecting it to be "work" hehe.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Dammit. My guys are attached to those guys, aren't they?
I know mine is.
The 3 MMs with the Crabs were completely worthless once the Arachnos Soldiers hit level 24. I usually left them at the door. Then I stopped even doing that.
The Zombie Team just isn't all that cool. Freezing Rain's Knockdown is just too awesome. It was walk forward. Rain. Win.
Plasma. Your guys are with the 2nd MM Squad. I might try and get everyone to level 35 by the end of the month. I know one of the accounts is being closed. You aren't attached to that one. Could also break the pact and you could log in your own guy and stand in a corner getting all the XPs. I know some tricks that aren't public (yet).
They are but ppl just don't post of even hint at them in the forums. No soup for you!

This is less of a surprise than you'd think. I LOL'd.

CoH_Player_101: It's okay. Your choice in avatars makes up for a world of indiscretion.
The Snake map is quite silly
One account is being canceled and it closes within the week. I'll be contacting the people on that one. The two characters are level 39 and 24 I believe.
I'm thinking about offering to pay back what I haven't earned and am looking at fair amounts. I plan on getting the rest to 50. Just won't be as fast as I initially hoped.
How does level 40 I pay back half, level 35 I pay back 2/3, level 25 I pay back 3/4 sound? Does that sound at least fair?
From your OP:
[ QUOTE ]
If for some reason I collect your money and don't get your character to 50, or I break the pact, or decide to quit or whatever I'll give a full refund.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm still hoping to be in the batch of 50s. If I weren't, I'd propose that you issue a full refund in accordance with the original terms, and then let me figure out what the marginal utility is to me. I'd be glad to pay you for what you get done, if it has value to me. Two examples to illustrate possible marginal utility:
(1) If I get a fire/psy dom back that is 25, start playing, and discover I despise it as much as I did playing them 1-15 or so before, I'm likely going to delete; or at least, just not play it again. Utility is ~zero, and I'd expect to pay zero.
(2) If I get back a fire/psy dom that is 40, start playing, and discover it's pretty fun, I'd be glad to pay 55%. I've wanted a dom at 50 for a long time, but I cannot stand them at lower levels, even though the high-level play strikes me as quite fun. So here, the marginal utility is even greater than the pro-rated xp gain, because I'm past the part that I would never do myself.
But that requires a bit of experimentation to decide.

Hey, if nothing else, I helped drive up the prices on all the others.
I think I'm in the "50 eventually" group anyhow, in which case it doesn't matter much. I'm patient enough to bide happily for a couple months extra.

I got in for less than my intended bidding price, and Smurphy worked me past the levels I hate so much as an MM, so I win no matter where he stops.

what actually happened to all this in the end? i've been following since the beggining and now it seems to have just died off?
So what are you feelings as you close out your first run? I mean, of the whole pacted shebang? I'm curious as to your thoughts on the entire experiment (so I suppose you could wait to say), as well as your individual issues: maps, level choke points, strategies, etc.
