They've STILL not sorted it?
Have they started doing any more stuff to it without asking you for the go ahead, or are they still pratting around with what they started doing last time?

They thought they had it fixed on Saturday, but the mechanic who knew had left, so I couldn't collect it .

Why'd I....?
Oh yeah. Sunday reminder.
Meeting point this week is on top of the Talos Arena. (the most useful thing to do with Arenas, IMO)
This weeks plans, I believe, are more of Tina Macintyre's stuff, and this week, that should mean more AV's, Bobcat, Neuron and Antimatter round 2, since the wimp ran away last time.
Tonights TF was Citadel, completed in 1:49:58. Group Photo later, if I remember.
Later all.

Hopefully make it tonight after a few things getting in the way of me getting online on Mondays.
We still have the latter half of Tina McIntyre's missions to do ourselves. Should be a blast!
Wasn't blast for me as apparently the lag was unbearable (and was like this for enough time to be beyond hope).
Bye Radio, bye all. You can find my FriendFeed (FF) link at my sig if you want to follow me, but I give up, at least for now.
It's all a nemesis plot 
Hope to see you back sooner rather than later Saxtus (same goes for you Radio!).
Sorry i had to leave so early but ITF team was starting earlier than expected. will be back in 2 weeks with fully slotted fissure 
STOMP
It's a sad day to see Saxtus and Radio both take a break from CoX, but I can empathise with your reasons. I do hope you guys come back sooner or later. Always a spot on my silly teams for you. 
Not silly at all.
It was the longest period of my CoX time each week and deserved it.
See you at steel & parallax fora as my post rights here will be lifted tomorrow...
Bye sax

Shame to see aomeone drop out, but I've played through lag from hell (tm) and it's not fun. Ever.
On a related note, next Monday's been sort of pre-organised for us.
From what I've read on the US boards (and according to this), the Zombie invasion (aka the Hallowe'en event) starts on the 20th of October. Guess what the date of next Monday is?

Cool. Assuming there's no delay, we'll be spending a good portion of the evening either trick or treating or forming a circle against the undead hordes...
Speaking of which, where are good, dramatic places to fight zombies? I was thinking the big bridges in IP, or (naturally) Dark Astoria, if the invasion spawns there...
Places to fight zombies?
I think it may well boil down to 'Wherever they're spawning'.
That, and there's Jack in Irons and Eochai to beat up, along with Unseelie Court, plus temp costumes, Tier 3 insps, and costume salvage to get.
BTW, a reminder for those who join the TF's on a Sunday Evening.
This week it's the Cap Au Diable Strike Force (level 15-20), which means villains. Level 15-20, no restrictions on the toons you bring, so any of the new (or old) crop of Dom team members are welcome, too.
I'll be soldiering, as will Lifeline, most likely.
Start time, between 7:00 and 7:30, depending on when people turn up.

So, tonight it's Binder of Beasts. Meet by Virgil Tarikoss in Cap Au Diable. Level 15+.
Some notes on Zombie invasions for tomorrow.
1) All it takes to get all the zombie invasion badges is one team of 8 (I know this because I got 'em all on Li this afternoon, with just a team of 8)
2) Be prepared to faceplant. Some of the Zombies hit HARD.
3) But there's no debt during the invasion.
4) Trick or Treating rules have changed for this year.
a) You can click a door every 10 seconds.
b) You can't click the same door more often than once every 5 minutes (not totally sure on the 5 minutes thing)
5) Basic tactics are to keep moving from door to door, but please be considerate and clean up your messes after you. Leaving door spawns around is unhygienic and antisocial IMO.
6) Eochai and Jack are back in city zones. Remember, you get a 10% chance of a GM spawn being a Jack.
And that's it for now, tea time.

So, tomorrow evening, more Frigidity.
My current plans for my team consist of the Peregrine Island Safeguard (should be the last one of the set), Clearing an old Carnie mission off, and starting on Harvey Maylor.
Any time during that little lot that a zombie invasion goes off, we shall descend on it and pacify the undead until they stop twitching.
Oh, and I've chosen Harvey Maylor for one reason - Carnies. Specifically, Master Illusionists and their decoys. Decoys mean Illusionist, which eventually means Archmage.
Of course, given how things worked out last week, it's entirely possible that the Master Illusionists will regularly die before summoning the decoys. But such is life.
Annnyyyyway...
Last weeks TF was the tedium that is Citadel.
This weeks was Virgil Tarikoss'
Next weeks, not a clue atm. Mercy-Nary, Harris and Wildwood are all still a few levels short of being able to start Silver Mantis' SF.

Looking forward to tonight's zombie bashing antics. Will be good if we can coordinate our efforts and get both teams along. Do they work the same as rikti invasions? i.e announced before they start?

Yep, they're announced in the Hero/Villain zone events channel, Just like GM's, Superadine raids, Steel Canyon fires, Rikti invaions, etc.

Had a lot of fun Trick or Treating last night and getting plenty of badges. Was a shame that we didnt get to fight off any zombie hordes, there's always next week though. I think there might have been one shortly after team 2 logged off for the night as well
I was still shopping when the hordes came.... to five Hero zones simultaneously. 
It was fun, but super laggy.
Yeah, they are just a tad laggy 
No eb's spawned in faultline either so I missed that one on Phenom...

Umm, do you want to reconsider the '5 Hero zones' thing?

Meh, my chat log window's not that tall... I saw the last 5 lines of alerts and that was enough to reach the correct conclusion - it's borked.
I'm off to the wilds of Wales next week so I won't be able to join you on Monday.
Have a good evening.
