Gratz anyway--I've done the BAF more times than I can count and don't feel ready to lead one yet, especially during the escapee phase..|

If you were on those last couple of BAFs last night (near midnight EST), I wholeheartedly apologize, and hope at least you had some fun! |

Thanks man, coming from someone with your track record, that makes me feel a lot better.
Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day, SET a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

Indeed. Sometimes team chemistry is off. Sometimes enough people just all make enough mistakes to throw things out of whack. Those 9CUs (and to a lesser extent the vickies) can become a big problem if they are missed and the team can be rolling along on the AVs sweetly not even noticing the adds when all of a sudden it goes horribly wrong. Recovering can be done, but it is often a huge challenge at that point (easier with lots of judgements, but not all leagues have that luxury).
It is possible that on earlier leagues you had someone or a few someones who were keeping an eye on the adds and then they logged. Maybe a key mezzer/AoE damager left. Any number of things can change from run to run. It is always good to have more people leading trials as it gives all of us more opportunity to run in them. Even failed runs get us some Astrals and drops (and often fails are very good for iXP, so for people who were not yet unlocked, your tougher runs may have actually been more rewarding).
While I was not on any of those runs, I thank you for taking up the mantle of trial leadership and look forward to running with you in the future.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

We ended merging with another player who had the same idea as me, and together we unleashed a mountain of fury of two successful BAFs.
The other player decided to call it a night, but I was done yet, and I was feeling adventurous, so I decided to continue the League and lead on. We ran 3 or 4 more very successful BAFs, and then I either got tired or lazy and I'm not sure which.
The last two BAFs were a struggle, we darn near failed one but there was a great sense of team pride and somehow we persevered. The last BAF was a total disaster.
