What confuses me is, what exactly makes trolls so sure that we aren't? Have any of them actually run with us?

It's amazing how much time a coordinated team can cut off a SF. If the team is coordinated AND they're good players, then they can cut even more. But being coordinated and having a good plan makes a huge difference.

Even the best leader can't do good time if the team keeps dying on him. Additionally it is really important that he has people he can rely on for key objectives. Without that there is no point even thinking about speeding.Now to get really fast, a well coordinated team is key. Most of our TF's, there really aren't any instructions given; people just know what to do (STF being an exception, since the way we run it, certain details change quite a bit based on team make-up).

Nice times. I've been on runs that have been on either side of those times on Justice. That ITF time is very very good, however. I tend to get the lag monster on ITF runs.

I thought our STF was more impressive. The ITF run though awesome, I've heard of similar from reliable people.|

The STF time, other than 'claims' of 15m STF runs :P I haven't really heard from anyone in my circle of ever being on one faster or even at that - especially considering we had 0 deaths on that run.
Of course, all times involve no temp powers other than what the TF grants for objectives and the jetpack for easier movement.
The rest are okay'ish, I am hoping to improve on all of them by a couple minutes or more; particularly that LGTF - with enough luck, we could shave of probably 2-4 minutes on that. Hostage placement really can change the time by 5 minutes either way.
Khan, our channel really doesn't care about too much. Apex we can do faster, but bleh, we just run it with the characters we wouldn't ever bring to another speed TF - just 'cause you can get away with it on Apex. Tin, again, not too many of us are keen on since you can do an Apex faster and get the same rewards.

Not a troll here but I have run with you twice on the STF. Both were master attempts and both times you were on a stone tank. Both times you refused to leave and re-enter on a bad pull because you didn't believe that GW had a hold that could hit through granite, so you stuck around and got killed. Both times you claimed that it had never happened before, even though I was there for one of the previous times it happened. |

I'm sure you've gotten better at the game by now, because you really didn't have anywhere to go but up. Hey, free bump to your thread!

I can never forget them, I had been playing the game about a whole month by then and was fascinated by STF's; considering how everyone told me they were the hardest TF in the game, etc, etc.
Oh yeah, I got better.

Plus since I am addicted to SHO's, at least one of them ends up being an STF.On weekends we actually do a full set of 50's back to back at least once, sometimes twice or thrice - order being, ITF, LGTF, STF, STF (for other reward), Khan, Apex, Tin.
All other TF's we blaze through, but Tin for some reason, takes us longer. I have yet to run one under 20m. It's 3 kill-all objectives usually turns out to be a blocker.

Was that with or without temps though? Rularuu is a bit of a monster to take down in those 1 minute windows. Of course with nukes and shivans, if people can do a Nuke Hami, a ~7-10m CoP should be quite doable.

Thread got cleaned up - good thing, too much flaming; including some of my own posts.
BTW, addition to our speed times, we just did a 23m LRSF. Man, some of these guys amaze me - it was like clockwork, and people actually 'complained' about it being slow.
I love our channel members

I much prefer the TFs/SFs run by the same people that ran the LRSF you tagged along on.
Cheers

Let me clarify this again - from my 'perspective', I was 'told' that the team was half speed club and the rest their friends. I also don't 'personally' know everyone on Speed Club at the moment because we've been having some heavy recruiting by several mods and my play time is limited since I am out of the country.|

So, if I am told that half the team is clubbers and friends, I assume it is a club TF; if it wasn't, then I apologize, I didn't mean to usurp credit.
Do also keep in mind, Speed Club isn't just 'my' channel nor is any representation of it 'me'. So when I claimed that it was a speed club TF, I did not intend to take credit for _myself_; I honestly believed it was a team run by some of our newer members, and as I mentioned in the post itself, I loved the team.
If I offended anyone on the team, I apologize. Take this as my retraction of the posted time; that puts our next best time at 30'ish minutes.

Non-imflammatory post incoming:
I am sure most people who are in the channel view it as a resource to potential TFs. I am in several channels with maybe 2 perhaps that I consider a home channel.
I have yet to run a TF advertised in speed club, but I do watch and I am sure sometime when the time fits my schedule I will. As I generally do not run my TFs at speed, I tend not to advertise them in the speed channels.
Let's try to keep this thread on track, please. If you have no interest in the speed club, that's fine, but please do not derail the thread.
Sooooo who's up for a SF Speed Madness vs Speed Club show down?! 
You tell em Mono! Rawr!
Thanks for that Moderator 05.
BTW, new times for Tin Mage,
15m run, with dodger badge
16m run, without
then a couple of sub-20 minute runs.
I verified this time, every single member was recruited of the channel, I led 3 of the 4 runs. If you believe you were on one of those TF's and do not consider yourself part of speed club, do send me a PM and I'll edit the post 
Let's not make a stink of it again.
