My boss just told me that I've been rescheduled tomorrow. I'll finish working at 3PM eastern. This means that I won't be able to make it for the first run. I should be able to join the other runs though.

Probably doesn't mean a whole lot, but updating the roster to reflect which toon I'll most likely bring.
Just a heads up, I plan on doing this a little differently than last time in the sense that we will likely attempt all four badges between the four runs.
The line up will be as follows:
First run - Bunker Buster (for anyone who missed it last week) and Avoids the Green Stuff
Second run - Anti-Anti-Matter and Avoids the Green Stuff
Third run - Loves a Challenge (focus) and Avoids the Green Stuff
Fourth run - Loves a Challenge (focus) and Avoids the Green Stuff
(The last two runs we'll focus on Loves a Challenge, i.e. not touch the terminals and try not to let anyone die. Avoiding the Obliteration Beam is still a good idea for this, so we could still end up with the badge during these runs if we haven't gotten it already. In contrast to the previous Green Stuff runs, we will be using Lore Pets to help bring him down faster.)

Ahh, goshdurnit. Sorry but my "tentative" (@Chicagodoodler) just became a "Negatory." Real life obligations will prevent me from attending. Good luck to you all!
We're starting to form in Pocket D now. Walk-ins will be included after 3pm Eastern if space is available.

Sorry Amy! I hadn't read the first page, I just went straight from FB to signing.. had I known you wanted peops with experience in Keyes, I wouldn't have signed up. Almost at top tier for my alpha, gotta keep plugging away at that too. Been busy with the broodlings.. when school starts, I'll have more time to play.

Thank you, Amy, for gettin' the badges for Masters o' Keyes knocked out. And for everyone that came out and pulled out all the stops in the last run; epic.

Grats everyone! Thanks for pulling through in the final moments! Now to wait on new badges to come..

That was a bit dramatic there... good stuff.
The tension builds, the minor (but non-fatal) miscues come and go, waiting AM to complete the last regen, watching like a hawk for the green stuff, and all of a sudden... down he goes, and up come the badges, one after another.
Just want to thank all who undertook the challenge, whether there for the buildup or the climactic run, and especially Amygdala for organizing and leading of course. (Too bad I didn't think to take a screenshot, always forget in the glow of the moment.)

That's no problem GP. I would gladly take inexperienced folks on a regular run, but these badges are difficult and it's unrealistic I feel to expect people to learn the trial and pay attention to the extras.|

In other news, congratulations everyone on a successful Master of Keyes run! Our league was 3 teams of 6 strong, so a fairly large group. We did not end up using Vent, only League chat and macros.
We were able to get Bunker Buster on the first run, Anti-Anti-Matter on the second, and both Loves a Challenge and Avoids the Green Stuff on the fourth run!
We tried a few different things during the first run that didn't work out, such as crowding Anti Matter at the terminals to try to force the Obliteration Beam into a predictable location. In theory, this sounds like a good idea but too many people reported they had difficulties seeing the beam with all the effects and people in that area.
In the end, we did what we did last week, which was pull Anti Matter to the terminals to limit the duration of the freeze, let him regen to full without attacking the terminals, try not to die, and avoid the beam all at once. I had anyone who was having difficulty seeing the beam area to put me on follow during the final fight. We also had a designated safe zone for those disintegrating where some healers were at the ready.
Once again, thanks everyone for your patience and dedication during these runs. The fact that we got all the badges in 8 runs total is impressive. I'm going to be taking next week off for this but will probably start the runs up again soon, as there are people who are probably still interested.

That was very impressive. I was extremely nervous that entire fight. So glad we pulled it off. It was amazeballs.
@Captain Drej
I believe in the final fight we managed to stay more or less spaced out from each other to give us greater visibility which, IMO helped.

So jealous that I had to leave right before this run. Congrats guys.
Sorry about my DC we lost power at my house........never got it back untill 8pm (EST) very very annoying

I'll be hosting another badge run this Saturday, August 20th at 3pm Eastern in Pocket D. We'll try to cover all badges unless most people already have a certain one (E.g. Bunker Buster). I may only be able to do 3 runs total, but it will depend on time. On that note, please try to arrive promptly so we can start at 3pm Eastern.
Please sign up below if you are interested in the Master of Keyes badges and have prior experience with the trial. (A Masters run is not the ideal time to learn how to do the trial).
Also, if you already have the badges but would like to help, feel free to sign up just the same. Please note however that if we are over booked I may ask those with the badges to give up their spot.
See you on Saturday!

Never done a Keyes, so I'd like to suggest the next planned run to be for people that don't have "experience" enough to try for badges. If Badge runs are the only time these are gonna happen regularly, you'll be getting the same people over and over after a while.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Impromptu non-Master o' Keyes runs are still run frequently. Keep an eye on your channels or hit up RWZ when you're ingame. There's usually somethin' afoot.
