Hami Raid - 24th September 06 - 5pm
Do you still need more Taunt tanks or jsut normal tanks?
Cause i will help with my 50 Invul/SS (@Shadow Crown)
I actually really like the bubbler idea. I think we should use it on the Defiant raids. CM works, but it'd be much nicer to have constant protection.
Veteran of a fair few hami raids here, Scrapper with fly signing up to help muller some mitos in the name of Science And Progress.
For what it's worth, the earlier time this is scheduled for is ace for me, as I have other commitments on a sunday evening so working Defiant raids into my schedule is hell!
DON'T eat muffins while I'm developing you.
Pants! Turkey Magnates! A man in a box! Rogue AI! Come one, come all, to arc ID 10107 - It's [i]'Not as long as some other arcs'[/i]!
Seeing we're now 2 days away from commencement, do we have teams set up and do they know what they're doing (because I don't!)
Can someone post the link to the Hami raid costume requirements also please (If we're doing this!)??
In case someone has a team space for me, assuming they're already set up, I'm a L50 Kat/xmas tree scrapper... I mean Invuln. ;-)
Hey, 2 days to go!?!?!

How long is a piece of string?
For you guys, probably 3 hours. For people who've had experience doing it? 1 hour to 1 and a half hours. For Hamidon farming SGs, 45 minutes.
i'll join with whatever u need:
lvl 50 Empathy/Dark Defender
lvl 50 Earth/Kinetics Controller
lvl 50 Spines/Regen Scrapper
i'll probably be online anyway
well I've only got a lv 50 Tank on Union, so I'll be bringing that one.

Twice it's length from the middle.
But thx for the time windows, as it happens, people in RL have shifted plans and I'm not gonna make this one.
Annoyed!

I'm still in. lvl 50 spines/invul. I'll bring a capeless, auraless cossie and you guys tell me what to do, deal?
Thanks for replying to people Gilga.
I asked Gilga to include a grav troller. If players follow the instructions lag should be much reduced compared to previous raids. However, to plan ahead if hami disappears the taunt team can still target him via singularity.
Taunt teams have been used at different times during raids. Sometimes after the clearing has finished to get aggro from the holding team. Sometimes during the clearing phase, after some mitos have been cleared. This reduces aggro on clearing teams.
Gilga is going to go in during the clearing phase. So his team will benefit from more people than if he just went in after the clearing phase, as he may get aggro from mito.
This is Gilga's first time leading the taunt team and I have told him to have FUN & experiment, if he wants to, as to when he can deploys. As far as I am concerned he can even go in much to early and get a team wipe if that is a challenge he enjoys! (as long as he warns the rest of the team).
The only requirement Gilga has in deploying is to make sure that no aggro he generates hits the other teams and he is in place, at the latest, for the "1 hit on hami phase".
I want as many players to have FUN and feel valued during the raid as possible and so I have no problem with Gilga wanting to get involved during the clearing phase rather than waiting till later on, if that is what he prefers.
Allowing people to feel valued is also another reason to include forcefield/sonic heroes in with the taunt team & clearing teams. Hopefully they will have a more enjoyable experience by being included in essential roles. Yes these roles can, and may have to be done by others, but why not have a dispersion field up in the middle of clearing teams rather than need many times more heroes to spam hold/stun resists, say clear mind.
The raid may not even start owing to lack of attendance, but at least if people have been offered the chance to attend, and know that if they attend their presence is valued, I feel I am doing my part in trying to keep this a thriving community.
If it works out the other way, that we get more players than we want to place in teams, then can I ask in advance that players remain in Eden until called for the "1 hit on hami phase". That their attendance is valued & we be acknowledged as such by the opportunity (if all goes well) for the change to hit hami.

Usually on raids there are a few key leaders. Once they have sorted out main teams every1 else sorts themselves into teams. I had hoped for a few more players to volunteer to set up teams & so be more organised than this but i'm afraid this has not happened.
Main leaders are enervator who has offered to lead the clearing team. Streekzo1, killamonjaro and stonegiant have offered to help with the clearing teams.
Gilga is leading the taunt team.
Nobody has offered to lead the holding teams. Perhaps no one wants the public responsibilty of calling hami held. However, I do have someone who has agreed to monitor hami and tell me when they think he is has been held for enough time to finally defeat him.
I have offered to lead the PA team. I am hoping to hand this over to someone else so I can form up the holding teams and keep those in eden upto date on progress.
If anyone wishing to attend the raid can arrive about 4.50pm at the entrance to the hive and wait there. Having previously made a cossie that has no cape or aura.
If you wait patiently for an invite the teams will then be filled. (If this is your first raid expect many not to wait patiently and the broadcast channel to be filled by a number of different people, it has always happened like that before!).
Players invited to the teams will then be invited to their respective chat channel & further instructions given over those channels.
If to many people turn up you may not be invited to a team. In that case please wait patiently in eden to be invited to the "1 hit on hami phase" if you want to wait around in the hope of getting a HO. Controllers are essential but some may asked to wait in eden for the appropriate holding phase.
Hope this helps.

Hey my first time Hami raiding!
Mystie will be online with a white helmet and a very unfashionable (yet practical) cossie :/
I get to jazz it up with a red cross though!!
Thanks PG.
Corp's already in Eden waiting...well stuck half way in actually, but he's there anyway... in his new black/gray outfit hoping to do whatever he can to help!
Yes sir Today The Day
let's hope hammmy feeling poorly
Hope to see you 45+ Heroes at
Eden/Hive for a fun night
\(*-*)/

I'm a defender but have 2 holds so am i meant to be holding hammi or go with the rest of the defenders?
Although it failed, I want to give an applause to all those arranging: from the top down to the team leaders, and everyone else involved! Hoping for better luck next time!
Well, for everyone that wasn't there.
We failed. I'm sure everyone else will be happy to explain all the reasons, but that's the long and short of it.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
Aww well done for trying all that attended, it had some good team set ups, ran pretty well, taunt team was best i been in (shockingly) and i knew going in we didnt have the holds.
But!
I wonder Paragon Girl, fancy doing this everyweek? until ppl get it right, then ppl make progress, and then more ppl come at a promise of a higher chance of succeeding which should lead to a better success rate and quicker time of doing it.
Just a suggestion.
I wont do it cos i'd probably fall out with the whole server.:P
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Your awesome!
I want just to say thank you very much to Paragon Girl for this fun raid and all other leaders and everyone was in.
Not enough holders, but i'm sure it was a good moment for all the newcomers that now know what is a hami raid, hopefully doing it with success next time.
Thank you very much Paragon
