500 Merit Milk Run August 28-20, 2009

Milk Run - A routine trip involving stops at many places.

Basically, it's a weekend where I schedule a bunch of TFs to make a ton of merits. It's a lot of TFs so each one is run as fast as possible to allow for greater time in between them. Some folks like/need to stretch their legs or build a house in between TFs.

If you've never done a speed run, you are still welcome to sign up. Just understand speed runs may look rather different to you. Since the emphasis is on speed, things like splitting up and/or near team wipes are acceptable. It also means some missions might be over before you zone in. If you need to walk the dog, powder your nose, or perform CPR on grandma; please kindly EXIT THE DAMN MISSION SO THE REST OF THE TEAM CAN CONTINUE...plus I won't have to kick anyone for AFK silliness.

Forming teams for TFs is always fun, but after 3-4 TFs the shenanigans get rather annoying. If at all possible, please sign up ahead of time. If you think you might want to join, but are not sure, post anyways and we'll label you as tentative.

If you cannot post on these forums due to forum phobia, work restrictions, banning, or religious reasons; please PM me, send me an e-mail at Desmodos@gmail.com or in game tell to @Des.
I generally form the teams 5-10 minutes before start time. If the team is not filled ahead of time, I start recruiting before start time. 5 minutes after start time, I start replacing anyone who signed up but has not shown yet.

You realize that if you talk to the contact it kicks the offending afker out of the mission. so you can continue...Right?

I don't know when they fixed this but they fixed it.

that being said.. Sign me up for States and LGTF

also.

While this is true, it does not apply to chained/auto missions. If you have a chained/auto mission, calling the contact WILL NOT kick an AFKer out of the mission. So you have to wait...

<grumbles> With the acception of the chained missions yes. You are correct.

But how many of those are there? Don't answer that I really don't care.

My plan is to run a version of a Milk Run once a month. I like to alternate between Villains and Heroes, though villain runs are never as profitable.

Yeah, those mean old devs hate villains.

So, do I get in on the ITF or not? Am I being rejected?

Sorry, just an oversight on my part.

I wouldn't mind starting a second one so you guys can get in, however I usually don't have the people. Most of the time I get a full zone for the first run, and then everyone disperses and I only get 2 teams and change for a second run. Not enough. I'm all for trying though!

I don't discriminate. Not even against you.

It's the easiest way to be fair.

If that's true, then I'm not doing my job very well
