I've done a few MSTFs here and there. 
I won't be able to do it in the late afternoon or early evening because I work Sundays and then head to the Hami raid after work. However, if you guys decide to run it after about 9pm EST I should be able to make that.
I can bring any Defender that isn't Sonic, a WP Tank with capped HP or a Controller that needs the badge.

True story, got MoSTF the first time with NetMinder's Ice Tank tanking.
But anyhow, I have a Blaster, Scrapper and Tanker that are all MoSTF vets. Take your pick.

Stray's ice tank also has MoSTF, and so does my ice tank (before it got deleted)
yeesh ya haters 
MoSTF really isn't that hard. It just takes semi-intelligent people. If you really want to make it a walk in the park though, recruit a bubbler with power boost.
I probably won't be able to make it though, between the hami raid, and accolading that I've fallen way behind on, and some RL stuff that I need to take care of...
Is there a general time frame for starting?
I've got a number of MoSTF vets, including one who still hasn't gotten the badge (not because she was the one to die though). But I'm finally going to see the Star Trek movie late in the afternoon; so time is an issue.
I can bring:
Ice/Elec Blaster
Ice/TA Controller (MoSTF Veteran, with Pingus I believe)
Grav/FF Troller (All tricked out)
Lemme know when/if you want me to come, and who you want me to bring.
I would like to jon but I am heading out until about 6:30 my time and get home just in time for static cling.
with the group above I have gotten MoSTF with all but 2.
good luck,

Hey, I have an Ice Tank, and I know they aren't the worst toon in the world, I'm just saying, they need alot more help than say a Stone Tank to hold Recluse. And if we can't supply that much backup, then we shouldn't bring it.
And I gotta say, I'm taken-aback by the amount of people who are willing to throw themselves into this challange on short notice.
I'd like to try to start between 5pm - 6:30pm EST if we can. But, if we can't get enough of a good team together, my roommate BrokenGoddess will be home at about 9:30pm-9:45pm EST and it sounds a few of you will be available around that time too, so that will be our 2nd team attempt if we can't get our "sheep" together between 5-6:30. Hell, maybe I'll just run in both!
So I'll put this up for now. And let's see what we get.

FYI, 6:30pm E is about an hour before the Blueside Hami Raid, so if you have trouble getting people then, that could be why.
Edit: I'm down for the 9:45p EDT showin'.

As mentioned by C A, the early time could conflict with the Hami raid, if started sooner, send tell and I can join you if needed.
so are we doing the 6pm one or no?
I'm planning on the 6:30pm MoSTF as well and the 9:45pm/10pm run . I know it might not happen because of the Hami Raid, but I'm confident we can get one going with some quality people.
So, yes, as General Masters pointed out, "BA, you are nuts!"
I'm planning on 2 Master of Statesman TFs. And if both go off without a hitch, it may just be the longest I've ever gone without a faceplant. 
Just kidding.
Just to get my fix, I plan to die like 6 times between the runs.
So. go ahead and sign up for the 6:45pm Run Peeps!

It was still fun! Neither run got the badge, due to some fluke off-the-wall stuff. I'd still like to thank all that came, and thanks to BA for setting it all up.
First, I want to make my apologies to those who wanted to go, but for some reason didn't make to us when were were getting the team together.
We had some problems when the 2nd Run was starting. The first problem was my fault. Our 6:30pm run ran overtime and I was late getting to the organizing of the 9:45pm run. The next problem was that another team started recruiting at the same time we were gettting together, and people started offering slots open on our team, and some wanted to switch, and other people wanted thier friends to run with them..... Oy vey. It was a mess. I was doing my best to try to find everyone a team. Anyone who couldn't get on with us who I was able to flag down, I sent over to MizNibbles team. And I'm hoping they did better than we did.
Next, I want to convey my sincerest of gratitudes to everyone from the early team, and the late team for giving it their all, and stepping forward when the gauntlet was thrown down. And even MORE gratitude for stay on the team when one of us died and ruined the Master challenge. Alot of lesser players might have just said "F- This! No Master? No point." But, all of you hung in there and still made it a fun Statesman TF.
I'm proud to serve with you!
Now, as you have gathered, we did not have either run with success. But, that does not mean I'm done trying. This Defender is a Pingu, and as a Pingu she will continue to repeat any challenge over and over until success is achieved. No matter how many faceplants it takes! That is the Pingu way!
So, This coming Memorial Day weekend, I have taken a long weekend as my vacation. Now a few of those days I'll actually be out having a life. But, there will still be time to play CoH. And there will be More MoSTF attempts. If you want in, speak up and we will try our damnedest to get you that badge!
Thanks!

For some reason I thought the master had to be done on invincible. But just a regular STF on the lowest setting, we've already done that a couple of times in the past with no deaths, so we're definitely game for even three more runs this coming weekend.
Depending on the interest, we'll be available on a fire/mace ice/ice def, ice/kin ice/ice blstr, ill/storm mind/ta, or a rad emp 'nother kin, whatever's needed. Must have shiny badge. $_$

It doesn't have to be on Invincible. But, the 2nd run Mephisto channeled his inner penguin and had it set on Invincible. The setting doesn't increase the difficulty of the AVs, just the strength and size of the regular mobs.
I forgot to see if the merit reward is bigger on the higher setting. If it is, it maybe worth it.
And thanks for volunteering AceMace! You and wifey performed exceptionally yesterday! I'll definitely look you up this weekend.

Good times. I haven't run one of those in well over a year. Nice to finally get to it on my stoner. I've got a couple more toons who've never run it, so if you're planning any more, feel free to give me a holler.

Wow, has Statesman TF actually been out that long? I've heard that several times over this past weekend that people hadn't run it in about a year. Time really flies.
It's hard to believe that I've actually seen 9 issue drops in my time as a player. The veteran awards pile up, and you just seem to forget what 42 months actually means. It means FORTY TWO MONTHS! As in 3 years and 8 months!
That is outrageous when you think about it.
Think about how much growing up an infant can do if they were born 42 months ago. Then it really hits you how much time that is.
But, it's time well spent. This game is my hobby, and this MoSTF adventure showed me, I share it with some fun people!

My oldest daughter was born a couple of weeks before CoH launched, and I've been here on and off since the beginning. So, yeah... I've a seen a lot of growing up... on both sides... lol

Thanks for the run last night, it was great fun even if we didn't pass the challenge and get the MoSTF badge.
Now if it was only that easy to get a team together that have a chance of getting MoLRSF.
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
Calling all those who think themselves, 'Hardcore'.
On Sunday, May 17th, I hope to run a Master of Statesman Task Force.
I will be supplying my Level 50 Rad/Elec Defender, and Dal of the Pingus has offered up eaither a Tank or Blaster, both of which are Veterans of the MoSTF runs.
What we need now are others who are man/woman enough to put up thier best gameface, and knuckle up for a hard run, on this short notice.
We don't have a time yet, but we would like to start late afternoon/early evening so some people can still get a good nights sleep before work on Monday.
If you want to try to run with us, please post here, and send a Global message to @BlackAmaranth
Tell me what you want to bring, and if you have ever run a MoSTF or STF before.
But please remember, this is a MASTER of STF. PLease use common sense with offering up a toon to come. Some characters just don't have the resources to hang on a Master run. Like Ice Tanks. My Ice Tank would never be able to serve as primary Tank on a MoSTF. Regular STF. Maybe.
Understand that this is not a walk in the park, and it will be rough, and if you can't keep yourself from dying, DON'T WASTE OUR TIME BY JOINING! We can not have any Deaths.
Thanks And I hope to hear from you all soon.
