I'm up for this Bovine, I badge on Termagant a controller, and Toxicato, a dominator. Got 1 of every AT though, so happy to use them to fill gaps on pentad teams where needed.
@Termagant
The Pentad badge will be the toughest, I think - the free for all and Seiss Draw ones are not so hard.

Well as i said in game...Count me in.. 
I'm up for this also.
Just hope we can do this villainside also. Have toons of all ATs so I can bring whatever is needed.
Back again... Ok, if I provisionally pencil in a time of 7pm GMT, I'll try and stay on for the evening and keep it rolling for everyone.
Ideally, if we are all in one spot it'll make communication easier... as I'll need to set up smaller groups for some badges (duel) and then get everyone together for 8 team runs through. So I'm think Talos arena hero side (which I'll start first) and hmmm, where villain side?
Also bear in mind to be fair you'll need to give up to 7 willing loses for every badge win you get, so everyone who sacrifices their time for your badge gets a crack at theirs too.
And finally, can someone confirm this; I tried it quickly with a friend, and changing the victory conditions (to 1 life/respawn) didn't seem to award badges. So does anyone know if/what limitations are on the Arena awards?
A Small Guide To How To Badge The Arena
The following is based upon what we learned from tonight's attempts to run tournaments as fast as possible; thanks to all who came out, and who were exceptionally honest... not a credit stealer amongst you!
* Firstly, you don't HAVE to complete the matches you are in. What we did was give one side an advantage, and then the other dropped after a minute, to be sure it counted.
* This goes for any arena type, we spent the night running Swiss Draw matches, and even though it needed to pick people, as long as the chosen winner for the badge had the most KOs, it didn't matter that others dropped.
* Badge awards don't seem to show in the arena, but you'll get them, don't worry.
* You can combine them all with the Weight restrictions for those badges too.
* The only badges you need more than 2 people for are SWISS and PENTAD.
* SWISS will take about 8 minutes with 8 players; Assuming everyone drops at 1 minute of course. Time breaks down like this;
1st round of 1 minute
2 minute wait
2nd round of 1 minute
2 minute wait
Knockout round, with 8 players you only seem to get the top 4... the Wiki says it's the top 8, so maybe with 10 and up it's 8 in this round. These 4 players become 2 after 1 minute, so
2 minute wait,
and final of 1 minute again.
If you choose to fight, you are looking at 46 minutes or so for an entire Swiss (10 minute standard round time)... it pays for everyone to drop then!
The event will show as "Cancelled" once done, don't worry about that, the winner gets the badges no matter what!
If you choose more players, you get more rounds of course; and you need even numbers of players to start.
MY SUGGESTED OPTIONAL RULES:
Who ever is set to win that round should ALSO choose the weight restriction... so they can also claim the badge for winning that weight too, if they don't have one.
After being knocked out of the Swiss Draw, quit the tournament, and host duels with those who need the 1v1 badges waiting for the next Swiss to start... save even more time!
* Pentad only has to be run twice, but you need to recruit the right team builds first. Once done, it's just another team game, so play two games, and one gets the kills for a minute, the other drops at 1 minute, and reverse sides.
* HOWEVER! Beware with Team Duels. We all manually set our teams, so the Red team had no win badge, and we blue were supposed to die to them. However upon entering the match, we were all randomly shuffled anyway. I'm not sure if that's a bug, or there's an option somewhere I've missed, but beware of that... it may be much easier to just duo the other badges.
This thread is quite comical.
The comical behaviour will be repeated hopefully tomorrow (Sunday 12th) at about the same time, assuming there's no mothership raid on, for anyone who needs the badges. I'm thinking hero side again, but we'll see who needs what (I still need most of the weight classes, and one or two of the team ones I think, but I'll fill for everyone else as before)
id be interested need swiss and pentad badges on orius
mind you i think there is a RWZ raid tomorrow so i'll have to flip a coin
/em flip
awww it landed on edge what are the chances .....50/50 i guess
will see if i can make it...
I'm thinking we'll need to organize some fights, in order to get most of the new Arena badges; I've been queuing up for matches all weekend and not getting one started
So I was thinking, if we have 8 people at least tomorrow (and maybe as many Sundays as we can organize), would people like to come along, and generously allow themselves to lose fights in order for everyone to eventually get a win?
Of course, we can also just have some fun fights too, and winner gets badge first...!
So would people be up for this, and what sort of time? Bear in mind for the Pentad we'll need badgers of every class alas, so even if we get the interest it may be tricky to get all the badges (and the accolade).
I'm thinking, not setting mid afternoon to Sunday evenings?
