Strike Force Sundays
The Tin Mage went well, unfortunately we missed out on Midnight Dodger and Hacker due to a miscommunication. Afterwards we went on to do the Tarikoss SF as well and managed to get a SFS record 33 deaths due to our general lowbie-ness.

Next on the List is the Silver Mantis Strike Force (Level 20+). So if you want to beat up Colonel Duray from before he started hanging out with those silly Praetorians, meet up in Sharkhead next Sunday, May 6th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Last Sunday's Silver Mantis was one of the best we've ever had on Strike Force Sunday. We even shaved almost 7 minutes off the average time!

Next up on the List is the Mortimer Kal strike force, one of my favorites. Since that can be pretty quick, I may do the first Treespec also. So if you want to blackmail a wizard and then trust him to teleport you all over the place meet up in Sharkhead next Sunday, May 13th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Yet another late update from me, overtime at work seems to lead to me slacking when it comes to internets. So we wound up running both Mortimer Kal and the first Treespec and got them both done in about an hour, despite Nemesis trying to delay the start of the Treespec by invading Nerva.

Next on the List is the Operative Renault Strike Force. So if you want a warm-up before it becomes the WST, meet up in Sharkhead this Sunday, May 20th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Last Sunday was a slow day, but we managed to get 6 for the Renault run and gave that giant eyeball a good poke.

Next up on the List is our mid-level Ouroboros double-header, consisting of the Mender Tesseract(level 25+) and Mender Lazarus(level 30+) strike forces. So if you want an evening of politics, Rogue Isles style and Nazi in-fighting, meet up in Villain Ouroboros next Sunday, May 27th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Thin pickings for the Ouro SFs, we ended up duo-ing Tesseract and trio-ing Lazarus. Even so, we got through both with no deaths and well under an hour!

Next up on the List is the 2nd Treespec, and since that's usually quick we'll probably run an Ice Mistral as well. So if you want to repeatedly visit thorn isle, meet up this Sunday, June 3rd, at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
This weekend was pretty slow for Strike Force Sundays as we were competing with several other events that happened to be forming at the same time. Still, we had enough to run both the 2nd Treespec and Ice Mistral and we showed Thorn Isle who's boss!

Next up on the List is the Imperious Strike Force! It's level 35+ and requires access to the midnight club, which is very easy to get now with Night Ward added (just get the exploration badge in the Night Ward mansion). So meet up in ancient rome next Sunday, June 10th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Our Imperious Strike Force went pretty smoothly, with us beating up anything that got in our way. I'm sure we wiped a lot of bloodlines out of existence while on our rampage too. So if you suddenly don't exist anymore blame the Midnight Club.

Next up on the List is another double header. We're going to start off with the 3rd Treespec as a warmup and follow it with a Lord Recluse Strike Force, possibly a master run. So if you want to laugh as the Freedom Phalanx tries to hurt us without Statesman there meet up next Sunday, June 17th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
The 3rd Treespec and MoLRSF went off without a hitch. In fact, when I checked my records, this was the first successful MoLRSF we've done on SFS so far, and all it took was the death of Statesman!

Next up on The List is the Lady Grey Strike Force, and we'll probably try for a master run of that as well. We've done one successful master run of this one before, but the Hamidon fight always makes it tricky. So if you want to help save the world for the greater good, because what villain doesn't love doing that, meet up in the Rikti War Zone next Sunday, June 24th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
So as predicted the Hamidon was a jerk and we didn't get our shiny Master badges on the Lady Grey run. Still, we had a solid team and had lots of fun along the way.

Coming up next on the List is the Barracuda Strike Force. This one is always tricky to do as a master run because of the insane ambush in the final fight. I'll leave it up to the team if you guys want to do it as a master run or not. So meet up in Grandville next Sunday, July 1st at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Barracuda took a while to get off the ground but once we got started it was a blast!

Next on the List is the Mender Silos Strike Force, followed by an Apex Strike Force. Last time we did Mender Silos it was set to +4x8 and still wasn't much of a challenge, so maybe this time we'll also set it to buff enemies. So if you want to fight Statesman for old times sake meet up in Villain Ouroboros next Sunday, July 8th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
The extreme Mender Silos SF was a load of fun. Unfortunately we couldn't get enough people to start the Apex so we had to have people fill. We ended up going with 5 and just couldn't keep up with Battle Maiden's regen in the final fight. I made sure to get a screenshot of everyone looking sad.

Apex SF
Next up on the List is the Tin Mage Strike Force. We'll be making a casual attempt at all the badges, so if we're lucky we'll get the master badge. If you want to have a robot tell you to go beat up other robots, meet up in the Rikti War Zone on Sunday, July 15th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
The Tin Mage run was a success, we got all the badges except for Midnight Dodger. I'm just glad we didn't have to use fillers to start like the Apex last week.

That wraps up another round of Strike Force Sundays. This upcoming Sunday we'll be starting back at the top of the List with the Virgil Tarikoss Strike Force. So if you want to fight a huge fiery demon (especially if you have a new water blast character) then meet up in Cap next Sunday, July 22nd at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
We had a full team for the Tarikoss this week and we showed the big demon who's boss around here!

Next up on the List is the Silver Mantis Strike Force, level 20+, and it awards the Air Pirate Badge. So if you want to fight sky raiders, sky raiders, and more sky raiders meet up in Sharkhead next Sunday, July 29th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
The Silver Mantis went smoothly, even though I forgot to get a screenshot of the ending time.

Next up on the List is the Mortimer Kal Strike Force, level 20+ in Sharkhead. If it goes quickly enough we may do a 1st Treespec also. So meet up next Sunday, August 5th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
The Morty Kal SF was nice and quick and fun was had by all. Even though Wen clicked exit and didn't get in the screenshot.

Next on the List is the First Treespec Trial, level 24+, in Nerva. If the team is up for it we'll also do a Renault, but I won't hold my breath since that will be the WST the following week. So if you want to show that shrubbery who's boss meet up in Nerva next Sunday, August 12th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
EDIT: Nevermind about Renault being the WST soon, I was apparently going off outdated info.
With double XP we had a full team for both the First Treespec and the Renault runs. Fun and XP were had by all.

Next up on the List is the Mender Tesseract Strike Force (25+) and the Mender Lazarus Strike Force (30+). Both start in Villain Ouroboros and can usually be done within 1 hour. So for plenty of time travel, politicians, and nazis meet up in Ouro next Sunday, August 19th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
The Ouroboros double header was unusually popular this week. Tesseract filled up quickly and launched early even!

Next up on the List is the 2nd Treespec (Level 34+) followed by the Ice Mistral Strike Force (Level 35+). So if you feel like beating up the Circle of Thorns repeatedly meet up in Nerva next Sunday, August 26th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
We had a melee-tastic Treespec run followed by a fun Ice Mistral run. The circle of thorns didn't know what hit them!

Next on the List is the Imperious Strike Force (also known as ITF because the heroes think they're the center of the universe ). So if you want a happy adventure fun time with time travelling Nazis meet up in ancient rome next Sunday, September 2nd at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Just a reminder that Strike Force Sundays is still going every week. I've been super lazy about posting the screenshots but I'm still taking them. I'll probably post them in batches later on.
Speaking of screenshots, I won't be removing any of the images I've uploaded to Photobucket, so if you're one of the SFS regulars and you want something to look back on with nostalgia some day then save THIS LINK somewhere. (That goes all the way back to May of 2011, anything before that was over at imageshack and appears to have been destroyed by them. )

Well, the +4 Mender Silos went very smoothly. We only had a team of 5, but 3 of those were VEATs so it was more like a full team.

Now we're on the last SF on the List, the Tin Mage Strike Force! We'll try for all the badges like we usually do, just don't hold your breath on Midnight Dodger. If it's done quickly I may get started on the next round by running a Tarikoss, if there's enough interest. So if you want to help finish off another round of Strike Force Sunday meet up in the Rikti War Zone next Sunday, April 29th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
