See you guys tonight. Bring your kindling!

I'll make my best attempt to show up. I'm cooking some Texas chili tonight, so I may be absent.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
I'm at the hill, where are you guys?
Okay, got off to a late start today. Had a "gabby" client slide in on the phone lines as the phone system was closing up... 
So I arrived about half an hour late tonight. 
We started out with three, and eventually grew to a 6 man team.
We did a bunch of tip missions tonight and a few radios. Our attempt at putting together a monster hunting team failed miserably. Freedom's GM population is fairly relentlessly hunted. So trying to find any of them up (let alone ALL of them) is probably an exercise in futility.
Still, we had a good time beating stuff up. I made a level and a lot of newcomers were head-exploding all over the place. It seemed like every time I hit fissure, someone's head would explode! One of our guys started out on a brand new Fire/Rad, straight outta the tutorial, and was 13 by the end of the night (and he joined in halfway through)!
Again, in the future, if you arrive and nobody's parked on the hill, shoot me a tell in-game. As soon as I'm able to, I'll respond (that means the big bad Zeus Titan trying to smoosh me to a pulp takes precedence over "Hi! Here I am!").
I'll have pics up in the morning. It's time to faceplant...

I was Burnaholic, thanks for a great night, after I logged off at 4 am CET I collapsed on my bed out of exhaustion, but it was totally worth it. Look forward to seeing you next friday!
as the noob to the group who hit 13, i can say it was a real hot time last night.
Friday nights I can do. I'll see if I can join you next weekend.
All-RIGHTY then!
A nice turnout tonight.
I got home pretty much EXACTLY on time and logged in to find a couple people waiting on me.
We filled the team up, mostly new faces again tonight, and headed off to do some work for a little gal, name of Maria Jenkins.
Now this was the first time I'd actually run the new MJ arc.
Suffice it to say we've found some Kryptonite for the Fire/Rad team (or at least one of mixed levels the way we were). Resistance. En entire room (INCLUDING A WARWALKER) cloaked with targeting drones out...
Unfun for just about any team. Nightstar herself? No freaking problem whatsoever. But those danged mobs...
Anyhoo.
Infernal? INCINERATED!
Chimera? CHAR-BROILED!
Bobcat? BAKED!
Neuron? NUKED!
I DO wanna ask what's up with Statesman though. The AI for the pet seems to indicate there's been a brain transplant from Fusionette (yeah, I know, impossible, but that's what it acts like).
All in all, a fairly productive night. Lots of lowbie leveling. And some of our regulars were hitting levels too.
We stopped just before the Battle Maiden mission.
Thanks to everyone who showed this evening. And thanks to the couple of people we picked up for riding along with us as we roasted, nuked, and bled all over everything in sight.

Had an absolute blast last night. Yeah, count me in for Fridays.
Freedom:
Biggo Shaker (SS/FA Brute)
Timbuck (SS/FA Brute)
I had a good time last night too. I should be there next week too. I think if more of us were high levels or slotted better we could of done better on a couple of the missions. I picked up some enhancements so hopefully I'll be contributing more next time. Hope the others do the same.
This is this Friday guys.
Friday, October 15th, 7PM Eastern
If you wanna show up later, just shoot me a tell (see the first post in this thread for the info).

We were on the hill until about quarter after that we picked up a few stray friends-we-just-met and proceeded through a few more AV smackdowns.
Battle Maiden? Bye Bye!
Black Swan? Beat down.
Malaise? Bah! Poor excuse for a controller!
Mother Mayhem? Mwahahahaha!
Diabolique? Done to a well charred crisp.
Infernal? Is he back already? Okay. COOK HIM AGAIN!
Was getting ready to head in against Dominatrix and Marauder when I got a call from work (where I'm posting from now).
As usual, levels fell from the sky like rain. And Vortex Core is now Level 50!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the little people who helped make this happen!
Imp 1! Take a bow!
Imp 2! Take a bow!
Imp 3! HEY! Leave get out from underneath that Master Illusionist's dress!
NASTY!
On top of that, I'd like to thank all the people over the course of the last five months who've teamed with me to help get there. It's been a hellacious ride!
AGAIN! AGAIN! *BOUNCE*BOUNCE*BOUNCE*

Does this mean you are ready to start a new Fire / Rad? :-)

Okay guys. The Halloween event is upon us.
And a group of Fire/Rads are rather uniquely suited to this event.
*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*
Fire/Rad 1: Trick or Treat!
Witches/Wolves/Vampires/Ghosts: TRICK*COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Fire/Rad 2: Wow. THAT was underwhelming. Maybe we should up the diff?
Fire/Rad 3: Uh, we're already at +4.
Fire/Rad 4: Okay we've been at this 15 minutes and have everything already, let's go hunt GMs.
Eochai: *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Eochai: *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Fire/Rad 5: We have a Jack!
Jack: *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Fire/Rad 6: I wish he'd wear underwear. There are some things man is not meant to know...
Fire/Rad 7: So how many merits have we racked up already?
Fire/Rad 8: I lost count after the 50th GM...
Anyone have any problems with a little ToT for temp costumes, costume salvage, and GM hunting?
One thing to remember though, this IS on Freedom. So the server is likely to be QUITE busy. If we do this, you probably want to log on early to avoid getting queued.
We can continue with Maria Jenkins next week.

A...remarkably smooth night of ToT-slash-GM Hunting-slash-Banner Event.
The only thing we weren't able to pick up on was the Zombie invasion.
We slew a couple Eochais in Talos before heading on to PI3.
We then proceeded to ToT our brains out. And yes, outside of a few miscues, we just absolutely took the Trick villains to the woodshed. Stopping only for a conveniently timed banner event.
We were killing so much and so fast that we wound up with all the kill badges, and one of our guys made 14 levels in 90 minutes and people were going head-splody left right and center.
We took a break and went after GMs again. Got another Eochai, decided to thwap a couple of the other monsters on Monster Island, and then picked up Jack in Portal Court.
I'd hoped to pick up one of the themed tips, but no such luck. Perhaps Monday.
All in all, one solid wave of BURNNUKEKILLKILLKILL!
VERY impressive guys.

Well I rolled a fire/rad today, and this to some sg love (thanks mini) hit 19 before logging. I'm hoping to be 22 and have some SOs and join friday.

Okay you highly irradiated pyromaniacs! Listen up!
In about an hour here it's FRIDAY!
You know what that MEANS right?
FRIDAY NIGHT FIREFIGHTS!
We're going to be continuing on with Maria Jenkins tonight. So let's get you guys some accolade-giving AV lovin'!
We start forming up on The Hill in Talos Island at 7PM Eastern. Full or not we move out at 10 after. If you arrive late, drop me a /tell and I'll grab ya!

- Radical Mechanical

As you can see, Statesman has a whole passel of new pals.
We had started off the evening somewhat light on Fire/Rads (admittedly, the event does start a bit early for people on the West Coast), so we picked up a few people and ToT'ed, did the Halloween tip, hunted some GM, and pulled off a Banner Raid for a while.
I wanted to save the rest of the Maria Jenkins arc for a group of Fire/Rads, not just some random PUG. After a bit of shuffling and people coming and going, we had a team of primarily Fire/Rads. So it was time to put the hurt on some Praetorians.

Thanks for letting me tag along. It was fun seeing how quickly all the fire/rads melted the critters.
My toon, The "Radical Mechanical" was able to get to lvl 21 and three slotted Stamina during the course of the night. With as many AM's as we had going he wasn't "sucking wind" all that often, but until i19 drops I like having stamina in my back pocket.
I look forward to tagging along another time.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!
Tanks: Gauntlet, the streak breaker and you!

Hey guys! It's Fry-day night again!
Place: The Hill on Talos Island
Time: 7 PM Eastern (I may be a bit late tonight, actually had to go into the office today and it sometimes takes me a while to get home).
Who: Fire/Rads silly!
What: BUTT-KICKERY!
How: If you're that new, show up and we'll give you the specifics.
We're waiting!

However, not everyone can make our primary event at the scheduled time (or at least not easily). After discussion with other regulars, it's been decided to offer another date for getting your Fire/Rad on in addition to the primary time/date.
Server: Freedom
Day: Friday (Would be pretty dumb to hold something called "Friday Night Firefights" on a Tuesday)
Start Time: 7:00 PM Eastern, 6:00 PM Central, 5:00 PM Mountain, 4:00 PM Pacific
Meeting Place: The Hill on Talos Island
Point of Contact: @Hyperstrike1 (Running as Vortex Core or Flamin' Trolla)
AT Requirements: Ideally, you should be a Fire/Rad. Controller On rare occasions we'll accept other powersets or ATs. But only by consent of the whole group.
Level Requirements: None for the free-form period. Activities for the structured half may impose their own level requirements.
Note: This DOES put the event before some people on the West Coast get off of (let alone, home from) work. Not to worry, the event runs until we run out of people who want to play. So if we run 3-4 hours, GREAT! I've got a 4-hour block dedicated to this time if necessary, and can plan for longer if called for.
Please note that while Mondays are primarily a TF-fest for us, I plan on Fridays being more free-form. The first half of the night will be missions-oriented. Either story arcs that our players wish to participate in, alignment missions, or AE if someone has an arc they want to run.
The second half, unless someone wants to do something else, will be used for more goal-oriented activities. This may be a taskforce, a trial, raids, or even runs into PVP areas for goodies (Warburg Nukes, Shivans, etc).
If you have any questions, shoot me an e-mail in-game or contact me via PM here.
