Count me in, please. Definitely for Positron, possibly for Synapse, depending on how long Positron takes and how frustrated I am by the end of it.
I would be bringing a level 48 BS/WP scrapper named Erin Brand - global handle: @mousedroid
Also, it might be good to note a few things in advance:
1) If you are above level 15, you will be exemplared to level 15 and you WILL NOT GET EXP during this TF.
2) This task force "is considered by many to be one of the longest and most arduous Task Forces in the game." It can take between 3-4 hours to complete. Please don't join if you have somewhere to be at Noon central time on Saturday, because we likely won't be done and quiting in the middle of a TF is bad form.
3) It might not hurt to familiarize yourself with this TF before signing up, or at least before we start, so you know what you're in for. I tend to keep the Paragonwiki page open for any TF/SF I'm on and tab back and forth between it and the game between missions so I know how far we are and what's coming next.
These three items may be elementary to some folks, but I a lot of others don't know about them and would possibly get upset and quit because they weren't told.
Also, you get 64 merits for successfully completing it.

I'd be interested in volunteering my tanker, Dash Rouge (invulnerability / energy melee) for both Positron and Synapse. I'll have to check his current security level when I get home from work -- I think he's 22 right now.
EDIT: confirmed -- he's 22.
--Chris
I'd like to join you with Ironclad, 45 INV/SS Tanker. There's a problem, though: my computer bit the big one this week.* If I can get it fixed in time, I would be available; but I don't want to hog a spot someone else could use. Put me down as an alternate, if you would be so kind, or list me as "bump-able if you fill up."
*The thing crashed during the Long Tom mission in a Synapse Task Force, the 4th one from the end in a very long TF. Now it doesn't seem to find the hard drive, heh.

I don't know yet if I'm going to be out looking at properties that morning (I'm looking to buy a house), but if not, I'm interested in pushing Pakfront, my L50 AR/En/Mun Blaster, through Posi; IIRC, that and Citadel are the two TFs she's missing to get TF Commander.
"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses."

What happened to the last topic about this? I know I made a post on this, but it seems to have disappeared...
Ah, well... count my lv. 14 MA/Shield Scrapper, Mr. Xcitement, in.
Oh, just wanted to mention, my main (Dash Bleu, lv.50 ma/sr scrapper) is on the cusp of 2 badge missions:
> Statesman's Pal (Tyrant AV, final mish of Maria Jenkins' arc)
> Master of Olympus (Kronos Titan GM ambush, on completion of current mish in Crimson's arc)
He's had the badges for some time (having earned them via other players' missions), but I just recently got 'round to working his way through his own copies of these arcs. Just in case some of the Saturday morning TF participants have alts that need these badges, I wanted to suggest the possibility of running these 2 missions after the TFs.

Looks like you can count me out, folks. Computer won't be fixed in time. (Posting from low-end laptop). Good Luck!

I'm interested if there's still an opening.
Phoenix Dark - 26 DM/DA Scrapper
I might be interested in Synapse as well depending on how long Positron takes.
If there's still space I'd like to bring Psychic Guardian himself, Mind/FF Controller (50).
I can't really guarantee I'll be awake on time, so don't hold a spot for me if Im not there. I'd love to get the Synapse done too, but my family isn't awake yet idk what we're doing today.

Well, it's starting now... almost... waiting for people...
Yeah, I'm posting this while we wait...
[edit:]Yeah, we started. One mish in. tore through those Vahz... looking optimistic, but I'm born optimistic.
yeah if my dumb family didn't decide to go to goldenpear for some expensive coffee and lines of rich snobby people I coulda made it. She likes messing up people's plans.

My sincere apologies for not making it this morning. Somehow, I ended up thinking 10am PST instead of CST, and set my alarm clock for 9:45am PST -- it probably didn't help that it was after 4am when I set the alarm.

Task Force "White Sands" finished Positron's Torture Force in 4:47. We bled members most of the way until we were down to three by the last 5-6 missions - two scrappers and a blaster. It was painful, but we soldiered through. Our Tanker reappeared during the final mission and was a big help in keeping the length of the TF reasonable. 
I can't believe this thing is only worth 64 merits.
