I am truly sorry everyone - my nephew & his wife came down from Philly & have just left....

It's all good, you have a loyal crew that wanted to run with you E, and no one else

*taps his wristwatch*

Thirty minutes, E. You remember that the next time I'm 5 bloody minutes late. :P

(I shoulda stayed five more mins, you guys finished that respec very quickly, and dammit, I wanted that badge on Soviet. I call for a remedial run! )

Don't get me wrong, I love my nephew & his wife...

...but, /em Jack Bauer - "The following events take place between 10:15pm & 11:09pm":

10:15pm OK, they are getting ready to leave, let me login & let everyone know what is going on & that I might be late (lol)

10:20pm After logging in I leave my message & go AFK

10:25pm Walk my nephew & niece out of the door (looks good right, but no) where the conversation continues...

10:45pm (I didn't know the time originally) I decide to go in & let everyone know that this is taking longer than I thought & to start without me, only to find that I timed out & auto logged... (ugh)

11:05pm They (finally) start walking to their car & I jump back in to my desk & start logging back in...which for some reason, would not move from the character selection screen...

11:08pm So...I post my message from my laptop

11:09pm I finally log back into the game

Once again, sorry everyone...usually a 1.5-2hr drive from my nearest relatives is sufficient deterrent to prevent these types of interruptions...

You need to learn how to make stinky farts on command.

...Thor excels at this lately since we've had him on all the meds. Actually makes Tina and me scream in despair on how bad it's been.

lol, Sounds like when we have company come over.... my husband, I love him dearly, but he just keeps talking when it's time for people to leave . They are trying to inch their way to the door, and he keeps thinking of things to say!

I've even pinched him on the arm to hint that he should let our poor guests escape, and yet he continues.

Sounds like you had the same, only reversed last night

I resemble that. My folks (who are now retired, working in real estate here in town) moved considerably away from the "home networks" both had (dad's related to the traditional South, mom was born in Flint, MI). They moved this far north (four and a half hours away from where dad's folks lived) just so my paternal grandparents would stop visiting at six a.m.

Now, at the advanced age of thirty-two-nearly-three, I find when I *am* talking with either side of the family, it takes a good solid hour or so, for a five-minute goodbye!

Bah, don't worry E. These things happen. (I should know, while you were gone I was semi-afk myself dealing with my visiting sister, who since she lives in the same town as me tends to drop by at random [so consider yourself lucky])

On another note, I'm sorry for any stupid things I may of done during the run last night. As is I don't really remember anything after the first hunt mission, and only know I completed it since I checked for the badge a few minutes ago. So again, sorry.

OK, so the write-up (sorry for the delay – started this at 9am, but got sidetracked at work):

I was late…

…when I finally did make it into the game, Turg had departed to the realm of MA, but since there were 8 people just hanging around, we decided to get started.

Mission One: CoT hunt – no biggie

Mission Two: Malta & Knives of Artemis – I have to say that Mr E-Lectric isn’t too bad against the Malta (based on just standard IOs, he should have 90 energy resistance) – he pretty much shrugs off the end drain + we had Scruffy on his /kin corruptor which always helps.

Mission Three: We decided to play through & clear our way to the Tree Room. Everything ran mostly smooth – we did have a little split where a couple of people took the wrong path, but nothing disastrous. Clearing the CoT & the vines went well & we took out the tree pretty quickly…Actually, not being a speed person on these SF, I do have to say that this was the fastest I’ve ever completed a villain respec trial: 37 mins / 58 secs with 6 deaths – nice time!

Villain Respec Trial #3: 7/8/09 - Stat Box

The Respec Team:

Mr E-Lectric: Elec/Elec Brute
Hatake Kasumi: Widow
Gabriel Keats: Fire/Rad Corruptor
Kin Rothko: Rad/Kin Corruptor
Muse of Destruction: Crab
TREVOR: Spines/Nin Stalker
Childe: Dark/Dark Corruptor
Lady Nightmare: ???/??? Dominator

Since we finished so fast & since I was also a bit wired, I asked if anyone wanted to do something else…the consensus (for the most part) was the ITF.

We had a couple of people call it a night & a couple of people switch characters, so we recruited a couple of people to join in the adventure:


Smash PvPn 4 Fun took the lead for speed purposes (being sk’d up & not very speedy myself, I was OK with him taking the lead for the first two missions – considering the number of times I died during those missions, it was probably a good thing).

Hatake did nice job pulling during Mission Three & I thought overall it went pretty well.

Mission Four: We cleared the bridge a bit & moved to Rom. After the cut-scene, I jumped in to “break” Rom (amidst yells of protest from our two pick-ups). “No, No clear the platform first. No you don’t want to do that. Yadda yadda yadda…”

“Trust me,” I say… “MB does this all the time…” OK, so this was my first attempt at doing this, but luckily it did work. We were able to pull Rom away (no annoying Nictus) & take him down the requisite number of times pretty easily.

While the “core” team went to the ambush location on the hill & cleared there, the pick-ups went to the rooftops. We followed up on the rooftops finishing off the required number of traitors & completing the TF in 37 mins / 54 secs with 24 (majority were me) deaths.

ITF: 7/8/09 - Stat Box

The ITF Team:

Mr E-Lectric
Tarquin
Kin Neutron
Gabriel Keats
Smash PvPn 4 Fun
Hatake Kasumi
Frost Victim
xx NY Giants xx – or something like that – he quit the team so fast after we finished, that he didn’t make in into the screenshot.

Thanks for joining last night everyone - it was a lot of fun as always! Sorry once again for the late start...

Lol, np E, it was all good We were up to 11 people at one point, but 3 departed before you got back. One was a PUG who wanted to join, one was Turg who wanted to edit his MA arcs, and one was Dragoh who wanted to team with a friend. I had tried to split the 11 we had into two teams, one that could have started and another to wait for you, but everone wanted to wait for you

Lady Nightmare was a Plant/Thorn Dom I do believe. Thanks for letting her join us. She's a SG mate (about the only other one who plays still) and she's really enjoying teaming with us.

Sorry if I was a little rude/contrary during the ITF There's a reason I don't PUG, and it's because people sometimes rub me the wrong way, and I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. So again, Sorry!

While I like to do a quick task force, and I'm all for stealthing when need be to keep some of the longer TF's from taking hours upon hours, I do find people who insist on only doing speed runs, and who will sacrifice all of their team mates just to get a quick time to be highly annoying. So usually when someone joins an ITF and they go "Is this a Speed Run" and "Oh, I know what I'm doing, follow me", that usually sends up a red flag for me. The final straw was the "GO GO GO" that one guy kept popping up.

So again sorry for being contrary E. I have certain buttons that can be pushed, and our PUG members pushed them all. If I hadn't known 6 of the 8 team members, I would have just quit on the spot during the first mission. I just didn't want to leave you without a Rad.

*reads Luna's summary* Huh. If I'd known those pugs were going to burr your saddle so much, I'd have volunteered Turg for the run. I was standing there when you kids showed up too.

lol, it was probably just me, although I think they were getting on Scruffy's nerves too from some PM's we had back and forth.

Oh well! At least it went by quickly and helped to drag Gabe up another 3-4 bars.
