This Sunday's plan is Shards 3, AKA The Saga of Faathim.
Yes, it's 33 missions long.
No, that's not an issue, as a lot of them are 'go there, click a glowy, ok, now go THERE and click a glowy', with assorted 'Beat up <x> of <y> at <position z>, if you'd be so kind'
I'll be taking Aerial again, we need 8 to start, and it's minimum level 44, for those who can't be arsed to read links (yes, I'm looking at you, Echo :P )

Sounds good, count me in. What time do you start and when do you expect to finish?
@Moondog
Union:
CoH: Moondog (WS); V-Rock (Tnk, semi-retired); Pole-Star (Bla); Demon Dog (Scr).
CoV: Midnight Gunner (Corr); Operative John Doe (Ban); Day-Star (Dom); Commissar Jaeger (MM).
I probably can't commit to it this weekend. I'll captain the other team on Monday as usual instead.
How many merits is 33 missions worth, then?

You know, after at least 6 months of this, you'd think people would know by now :P
7-7:30pm start.
Will go on until a) it's done, or b) 10pm arrives.
If situation b) occurs then we'll call it a night, and finish on Monday evening, so Cold Front toons preferable.
(the 10pm cutoff time is because of people having to get up on Monday morning to go to work for a living...)
And I've no idea how many merits you get for Shards 3, nor do I really care that much. I suspect you could look it up on Redtomax or Paragonwiki if you were suitably inclined. I'm not.

Nope.
But I'm not telling. Time for Echo to learn how to look these things up for himself. He's a big boy now (allegedly :P )

So is it the Justin Augustine Task Force, called "The Saga of Faathim", or the "The Saga of Lanaru", also known as "Faathim the Kind Task Force"? I'm confused, there are too many Faathim options!

My interwebz broke and I couldn't get to the site. It's a bit better now once I've de-virusssededed my computer.

That's okay, I'll just ask Moondog how many he got after you all finish. 
Going to be a little late - downloading the patch right now.
Let me see, Sunday we spent 2 hours bouncing round the Chantry doing Shards 3.
Tonight, we whipped through Daedalus' arcs (both of them), with some 'interesting' moments against three or four spawns at a time. Ghost Widow, however, was a walkover.
After that was over and done with, we popped into another Carnie mission, and finally, Aerial has the Illusionist badge, Huzzah!
Other people are closing in on that badge too, so shouldn't be too much more Carnie related pain to bear.
Once that's out of the way, I was thinking of maybe going through the Warzone stuff.
But anyway, nice night tonight. Makes a little bit of a change to not be finishing off a TF on a Monday evening after the last couple of weeks.
This Sunday's TF is Shards 4. (odd that, isn't it?)
The Meeting point it Faathim the Kind in the Chantry.

Yeah was good fun, almost two levels worth and we had a winner for the best use of an AoE sleep power in a DoT heavy team

So good it even got noticed by someone other than the controller using the power

It may not have particularly been noticed in all the random chatter on Monday evening, but this Sunday's TF is going to the Statesman.
Abyssal's going to be trying to tank it, I'll be on Aerial.
Other than that, and a couple of slots reserved for a couple of friends, places are open.
If possible, can we try and start this one relatively early, please? As close to 7pm as feasible.
(In case it goes on beyond 10pm on Sunday, I'd prefer Cold Front compatible toons, but I'm not going to get massively bent out of shape about it.)

I'd like to join in, if there's a spot .

Sign me up please! Hypo is now at 49.5 and it would be cool to hit 50 on the States tf.

Slight change of plans.
Abyssal's not going to be around on Sunday.
That, however does not prevent an STF going ahead.
One of the advantages of having played for as long as I have is that I basically have a full roster of toons to fill gaps in teams. (I'm currently on 2 tanks, 2 scrappers, 2 controllers, 1 blaster, 1 defender, 1 Warshade) If we need a tank, I can tank. Likewise for other possible gaps in the team makeup.
So, assuming we get 8 people turn up on Sunday, then we'll sort out alts then.
This also means that since Abyssal wants to tank the STF, that we'll likely be doing it again on Monday.
This means that so far it's :
Sunday:
1) a Li Sensei alt
2) Piranha coldshot, or possibly a Doc T alt.
3) Hypothermiatrix.
4) Tolledo
5)
6)
7)
8)
Monday:
1) Aerial Deceiver
2) Abyssal Chill
3) Tolledo/Unnamed Empath
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)

Pop me down for a spot on both occasions.
I'll use Tol on the sunday and an emp on the Tuesday, to help with the squishy ice tank That is of course, unless you need an emp for both.
Since logging out for some food a little while ago I haven't been able to get the updater to connect. Tried the -project eucoh workaround and still no luck. Will keep attempting to connect. Anyone else having trouble?
Edit - Still cant connect

I had a little trouble logging in at about 6:30pm, took about 5 mins to connect, but at least you got in just in time.
Easy mode Statesman done, 2 hours 31 minutes.
Easy mode because we had a) A Stone tank with Granite, b) an empath, c) good amounts of debuff/damage on the rest of the team.
Apologies to everyone on the team if you knew everything I was bossing you around with, but I find it helps to go over things on that TF.
Only a few faceplants, mostly blasters and defenders.
Team photo (we had a Rock Imp too, but he had to go before we got back out to Statesman.
(as a side note to Statik Hazard, thanks for making up the 8th member, and congrats on your first 50)

Could come along on Monday night with MajikMan ?
Actually I better cancel, I don't think I'll be there for sure or not 
Sorry guys.

Don't worry. If there's enough interest, It shouldn't be too hard to schedule another run for a future Sunday.
Besides, I know Lifeline and I still want to do a successful MoSTF run at some point. (we've gotten oh so close in the past, but I forgot to get CM'd and GW managed a hit with Soul Storm as her second attack... 
)

Echo is the white flash with the sparkles flying out! Not that it resembles a tank though.
