Hello Everyone! After our Positron last night, I wanted to post a few notes to everyone, and I figured it might get lost over in the Positron thread.

The Chat Channel and Bind/Macro Info

I had several people ask about the chat channel bind last night. For those that do not know, we have a chat channel dedicated to chatting amongst the teams while running the Freedom Horde events. It is called "Freedom TF Chat". It's not to be confused with Freedom TF or Freedom TFs. Our channel at last glance has about 70ish people in it, so if you go to join it, and it's full, you have the wrong channel.

If you have not done so already, you can join the channel by either searching for it using Channel Search in your Tab menu, or by typing in:

/chanjoin Freedom TF Chat

in your chat box. (Correct the syntax if I'm wrong guys!) Please note that once you've joined the channel, you need to add it to your chat box for each toon you have (that you want to see the channel in.). To add it to your chat box, right click on the chat box, and choose "Edit Tab". Make sure that Freedom TF Chat is in the left hand box that appears, and click ok.

So now for the bind that makes the name of your current toon appear in the channel:

/bind KEY beginchat /send "Freedom TF Chat" [$name]

Make sure to substitute whatever key you want to bind it to for "KEY".

You can also make a macro (a click button in your power tray) to do the same thing (This is the what I use):

/macro Chat beginchat /send "Freedom TF Chat" [$name]

This creates a macro button in your power tray called Chat, that will do the same thing.

The List of Automatic Sign Up's

A month or so ago, I started a thread to give people an area to discuss the upcoming TF runs. This was *NOT* an official sign up thread to be automatically included each week. I *DO* have a list of people that I have run with for a while now, that have proven they will be there each week. Those people *are* automatically signed up each week (unless it's a special event like this coming week).

That Official Automatic Sign Up List Includes: Myself, my husband, Mr E-Man, Master Blade/Mateo, Scruffy, Xort, King Sac, Flu-Shots, Paragon, Goldberg, Joe/Alter, and Turg.

So if you are not on that list right there, You are NOT automatically signed up! So that means you NEED TO SIGN UP EACH WEEK! Forget any other list you might have signed up on, that list right there is the "Official" automatic list. If you want on it, and you've proven to be a reliable player, I'll add you. Otherwise please sign up each week! If you cannot get in the forums to sign up, you can sign up by PM'ing me in game @Luna de Nocturne.

Team Sizes and Placing a Limit

So the Freedom Horde is growing in size. It's grown to the size of being a bit too nutty. While we did okay last night, I think that trying to get 5 balanced teams is just a bit hard to do. Plus it takes time to get it all worked out.

So I think I'm going to set a cap of only 3 (maybe 4 for certain events) teams. Anyone past that will have to sign up as alternates, and will get a spot depending on how many people don't show up (which almost always happens). That way we are not spread too thin on key areas such as tanks, debuffs, rezzers and stealthers.

Thanks again everyone for joining!

Sounds good to me. And thanks for posting the chat macro. I'm going to add it to a few more toons.

I have no delusions that I will be able to make every single Horde tf (though I plan on trying to make as many as possible).

If I sign up after the limit is reached, I have no problem being an alternate.

These events are always fun, and you do (and have done) an incredible job setting everything up Luna.

Currently Playing:

A bunch of toons! (Freedom, Virtue, and a few on Infinity)

Good post & info! I'll be here for every run I can. I work swing shifts so there may be some nights I'll be working, but I will post when I can't make it.
