The ITF was a lot of fun and if I am around next week I would not mind running it again. The tank we picked up was funny and pretty laid back. It is nice when a PUG is pretty much all on the same page. I actually had to laugh at a few of my faceplants although I lasted much longer on our first assault against Rommy than I expected.
The run last night was worth (to me) 1.9 levels (I had leveled to 41 right before we started), about 9 badges, new costume parts, one awesome drop (BotZ) that I needed, and 2M in Inf. If I not had disconnect issues (twice) I probably would have leveled again.
Until my current Frad gets into the upper levels, I'll continue to lead the second group if there are enough people to warrant a second team. But I'd like to establish something ahead of time (I hate the downtime while we figure out what to do) so I'm thinking of doing the 2nd Positron TF or maybe a flashback (maybe the Freaklympics, for the merits). Last week we had such a range of character levels (1-mid 30's) so keeping to low-level activity or something all can participate in. Anyway I welcome any suggestions.
Just wanted to tell you guys that I'm taking a break for a while. We're cutting back on monthly stuff and my share of $15 here, $15 there is mostly my music subscriptions [xm and zune] and CoH. I'm keeping XM, it's only $11 a month, Zune and CoH are gone.
And after I bought GR.
So sorry to hear that. Hope to you see you in-game soon!
See you around, sorry to hear about that though.

I hope other peoples' monday has started smoother than mine. In any case I am looking forward to burning and melting whatever tonight

Since GR went live today for those that pre-ordered it might be a light Frad night tonight. We'll see!
Okay, there MAY be issues with Fire/Rads tonight.
Namely GOING ROGUE.
Right now, at 4 PM, server loads look like THIS:
Both Virtue and Freedom are PEGGED at the moment with queues building.
We'll see what it looks like this evening....

Okay, I lied. A bit of jiggety-pokery with swapping out files from my beta folder and I'm up and running.
I'm in on Freedom right now.
Waiting on the hill.

We did hook up last week. A few had connection issues and dropped out. We mainly ran tip mishes, which were fun. But it was pretty casual.
Not sure how Monday is going to look. Might still have the GR Shiny going on. I should be there, however.
Can I bring my lvl 20 frad? This looks like alot of fun.

Of Course! Just be on the hill in Talos Island at 8pm CST (Monday night).

HOWEVER, it's usually more renumerative for people if they spend a little time solo and get themselves up to Level 10 so they can start doing Task Forces.

Hey guys. Apparently there's going to be a Mothership Raid Monday night.
Wanna take the Fire/Rads in on it?

THAT would be interesting. Sign me up!
We'd love to have you all join us tonight! Looks like I'll have 4 teams running from my end. We'll be starting at 10pm eastern, 9pm Central, 8pm Mountain, and 7pm Pacific.
I hope to see you all there!

Since the raid starts about an hour after our normal meetup time, I'll be logging in 1/2 hour later than normal.
Okay, I'm labeling this one "Taskforce OMFGWTFBBQ!"
Okay, what's so wild about this?
Two things.
- Before the start of the raid, we did a bit of street sweeping. So, going into the raid, I was the proud possessor of about 60-80 merits.
- We spent the majority of the time in the bowl both upright AND at recharge cap.
I spent most of the raid cackling madly. 
I'd like to thank Luna De Nocturne and Turgenv for organizing and running the raid. A damn fine piece of work!

I think the funnest moment of the evening for me was after our street sweep when we joined the other teams at the start up of the raid, with our hot feet, choking clouds and fire imps suggesting who we were, and all the other teams acknowledging the arrival of the Frads.
We had a couple new people join, but we lost one before the raid even started. As Hype said there were lots of Vanguard Merits to be had, as well as lots of leveling and lots of fun. I don't know that I handle that much fun every week, but definitely would be up for future go arounds!
Okay, got in early this evening and picked up an ITF on another of my toons. Was so busy not dying I didn't know I'd missed the start of Fire/Rads.
My apologies to everyone. Won't happen again.
On the flip side, you guys took the initiative and started up a Posi1. Good work!
Once done, I was able to join for a Posi2 too. However, it was rough going. VERY rough. The lag tonight was so atrocius that I had to call it. I was going at mobs, getting approximately NO attacks off, and dying instantly. then rubberbanding back and falling over dead. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad at even level and proper group size. But at +1x8 we were getting murdered. And all I could do was stand there and........watch.
GRRR! 
We got about 2/3 of the way through Posi2. I promise I'll make it up to you guys next week.
Additionally, next week will be my first off this dang wireless connection and on something relatively stable (though calling AT&T DSL "stable" is like calling a gunshot wound "uncomfortable").
I'm actually kinda irked. This was the first time I've ever had to do this. And I hate losing. Hate it like poison. So I'm going to do my damndest to make sure it never happens again!
See you guys next week. Bright and early.
Also, been talking with a couple of you. I know that Monday at 9PM Eastern isn't always the greatest time or day for all of you. What would you guys say to an additional day for Fire/Rads another time during the week? And if so, what'd work for you?

I'm game for a second night of Freedom fire rad goodness!
Friday and Saturday nights would not work well for me though. Actually, if the starting time was bumped up to 8pm EST that would help out a lot as well.
As for this past Monday of Goodness (forgot the screen shots as my brain went into sleep mode):
The team was: (forgive me on all spelling errors please!)
Zero Decay
Warmly Yours
Halla Peno
Greased Wheels
Wild West Pest
We ended up running a Posi #1 at +0/8. We ran into a few hiccups along the way, including a solid team wipe on the last mission.
I had to disappear for the night and could not join the group in the second posi (as did Pest i believe). Sorry to hear that the second one chewed you all up.

First, let me say I've been using DSL for years. I'd had cable for three months somewhere within that time frame. In the gulf coast area anyway, DSL is superior. Because when it rains here, the cable goes out, and so does your connection. Not so with DSL. Hurricane Katrina was the last time I couldn't play because of internet connectivity problems. |

Also, Cable speed fluctuates (or did the last time I had it) depending on how many people in your area are on-line. You could be fine at a hami-raid and then your neighbor starts downloading something, and then you've gone to lag city. Your Superspeed seems more like Rooted.
Second, a second night is cool by me, as long as it's not Tues or Thurs or Sun.
