Well, I managed to make 494 million over the weekend leaving me 82 million shy of that infamy badge. Did my exemplar to 47 with my exemplar in another zone and hunted 48-51 Rikti over in Point du Hoc. I should be able to knock out the rest via tf's and then make many more attempts at the MoLRSF. Going to try and get a set team of individuals and rotate characters in depending on needs.
I ran a few TFs, and a bunch of radio missions. I didn't stay on the whole time and had other things going on, so I only gained about 110M badge progress.
Oh man, I need to really get off my behind next time. lol

I toyed around making about 200 million in badge credit on my second badger this weekend. Somehow after having the first Leader badge getting a second one finished has not been an extreme priority for me, especially considering the potential side-switching ramifications of Going Rogue have yet to be fully understood/explained. For all we know the concept of having "one hero badger and one villain badger" may be completely revolutionized. At the very least we might need to start having "third" City of Grey badgers...

I just wasn't as well prepared for this weekend as I was the last. Not needing to work on badge credit for anything, I just toyed around a lot, emptied my enhancement vaults on the market (and wishing I had more vaults )

That's right around what I got. Last Double XP, I did about triple that. This weekend, I decided to just goof around more. I did nine TF's on my badger.

Two questions.
1. What change did they do to the Empath badge? I earned that during I12! 
2. During 2xp weekend, marybashing yields about 5 mill a run on a full team?
-Pogoman, Master of Kick-Fu
-Co-Leader and recruiting officer of the Virtue Honor Guard
- lvl 50 ma/sr scrapper
-Ace O' Diamonds lvl 50 fire/rad controller
and waaaay to many other alts to mention right now
1. Empath badge requirement was reduced by a factor of 10 to needing 100 million points healed. The original value of 1 billion was admitted (a long time ago) to have been a typo error (which took ages for them to get around to fixing).
2. "Marybashing" (AKA Bloody Mary runs) earns about 5 million just for the first mission. Big bucks there.

I still have my doubts about Posi's "explanation" about Empath. Many people had been screaming bloody murder about the stupidity of Empath's 1 billion HP requirement in the forums for literally years. He could not have -just- learned about the problem recently. And as a software engineer IRL the idea that it would have been difficult to change a single value in a piece of code from 1 billion to 100 million is completely ridiculous.|

Basically I consider the whole "typo that took roughly 4 years to fix" story to be an insulting joke, but hey that might just be me.
I still believe Posi always INTENDED to have Empath set at 1 billion HPs and it simply took many years of math and commonsense to finally convince him of his mistake. I think he dragged his feet on it because he thought the 20 or so people who first AFK farmed for Empath (because NO ONE ever earned it via natural play) would be upset with it being lowered, like 20 people's feeling were more important than 1000s of others. I think only after a bunch of people who had Empath claimed in the forums that they would -not- actually mind it being lowered did he finally decide to do it.
If he needed to save face by telling us that this was some kind of "typo" then that's his deal for what it's worth. I think he should have just been honest with us, but again that could just be me.
Water under the bridge I suppose...

Be that as it may, Empath is indeed water under the bridge. Still wouldn't mind though if they reevaluate certain other badges though.

That is fine. The "you" in this case is generic, not specific. I should have made that clear.
