Introducing... Septipheran's Saturday Shenanigans!

It was great fun! Count me in for next weekend

hi sep think ive ran a few incarnates with you usually Dr Hedgehog or i play as Woman scorn so sign me up every saturday

So, I just remembered that I'm going to be going down to the city from Saturday morning to Monday afternoon, which means I won't be able to lead a Mo run this Saturday. Sorry about the inconvenience, I've had these plans for over a month now so I can't change them. Next weekend is back to the schedule, though.

I got back a day earlier than expected, but still a day late for this. I'll write up more stuff for MoKeyes and UG soon, hope everyone is ready for next week!

Master of UG strategy is posted (third post.)

See you guys tomorrow around 8 est!

Count me in... Cya tomorrow

Count me in for tonight too, if there is still room available..

Yeah, send me a tell (@Septipheran) when you're around. I'll start up in RWZ in about an hour- Once again, MoUnderground is tonight. I'll be posting in Protector Vigilance when we start forming, see you guys soon.

Alright, so the Underground run picked up every badge but Avatar Assassin. My computer started to double clutch on me a bit around the bombs phase, and I was struggling with low performance by the time we got to the Avatar which made it pretty impossible for me to attempt any real coordination.

Sorry to everyone that we missed that badge- I'm up for giving it another try tomorrow. If enough people aren't around I'll set it up for some time during
the week.

MoKeyes is next Saturday, and I'll be updating the second post with a strategy soon... All I'm going to say for now is expect multiple runs.

Where will you be doing MoKeyes?

Forming in RWZ tonight! Around 8pm est. I'll post in Protector Vigilance when I start sending out invites.

I'm too lazy to type up a strategy-thing for Keyes today, but I'm just going to go over some quick things.

First of all...

Please read the general strategy
Please familiarize yourself with the badges

If anyone is able to bring an Electric Armor Tank/Brute/Scrapper it will be greatly appreciated.

Team 1 (my team) will be collecting temp powers. I feel like I'm going to have my hands full directing in league chat, so I will designate someone else on the team to be in charge (no pun intended) of applying them to the terminals. Super Speed with a stealth proc or other means of invisibility is best for this team.

Team 2 will be just a couple of aggro soakers with taunt (edit: I would also like to place a support character with strong ST/AOE heals/buffs on this team to keep these folks alive.) It will be your job to pull Anti Matter to each terminal that needs to be charged. This of course will happen after we get the Anti-Anti-Matter Badge.

Team 3 will be AOE's and debuffs. This team will be in charge of clearing the adds around the terminals.

I'm not sure if we're going to need a 4th team, I feel that would just lead to a bunch of confusion and people who are prone to die.. I'm going to try and keep everyone set up in a three team fashion.

Please bring Rebirth if you have it. I'm going to try to get my hands on some ultimate inspirations to pass out, which can be very helpful for the last fight.

This is the one trial that I have yet to get any of the badges on, so if anyone has any ideas to contribute please feel free to throw them out in league chat.

Thanks for running the Keyes Trial.

Looking forward to the next run.

Take care.

I apologize once again for the disaster that was. I have really been trying to lead these trials with a fairly "hands off" approach and that did not seem to work out tonight.

First, we had epic league mapservers as we qued twice... That didn't help things one bit. People with reserved spots were lost, which is something I'll take responsibility for. I just can't keep track of everyone who was signed up, and I got tells from people asking for re-invites who were probably not even familiar with the Keyes badges.

The lack of knowledge was reflected on the "first attempt," when people were neglecting league chat. We managed to kill Anti-Matter somehow, when quite a few people signaled in chat that it was time to stop damaging him.

The "second attempt" was when I really became disengaged. We managed to get Anti-Matter down to 12% health at a very comfortable and cautious pace.... When someone decided to take control of the terminal before he was below 10%.

After that was Bunker Buster. The first bunker worked out well enough, but on the second one someone decided to blow doors up before I gave the "ok." This is the part where I started gauging my eyes out.

Avoids the green stuff.. Well, by this point I was hardly even paying attention. I'll admit that I myself even died a couple of times, and got hit by green stuff galore. To put it simply, it was over before it started when it came to the end of the trial.

Going forward I am left with a simple realization: Most people do not read the boards. Most people do not care if we're going for badges, because they are "LF TRIALZ LOLZ" and will not respect the goals of the rest of the league. With the other trials, this is easy enough to manage, because the badges are less complex.

I got tells, and talked to a few people who feel that I wasn't strict enough, and that I need to make an event like this "sign up only." I don't like being strict, I don't like being "super exclusive" and I don't like telling people that they can't play their mains/badgers, but it does seem like this is the only way to run a successful MoKeyes on this server.

Anyways... Next week is back to BAF. That should be easy enough, and next time we do Keyes I guess I will have to be more of a totalitarian about it. Sorry to everyone who came out, knew what they were doing, and missed out on the badges. I take full responsibility.

I have to agree with Ex here, these things happen. There's not a whole lot a league leader can do when that many people ignore the chat. While theoretically you could have been more picky about who joined, you can't be expected to know the level of competence of every person on the server. Hopefully regular keyes runs will become common enough on Protector that by the next time you attempt this more people will be comfortable with the trial itself.

I'm also hoping my /electric brute will be level shifted enough by then to take care of babysitting anti-matter. Although we didn't seem to have much trouble with that, it was a little rocky but it still got done at least.

Thanks guys, I appreciate that. I'm thinking of maybe forming every week in Pocket D from now on to avoid the "RWZ riffraff," as I know a few people who did know what they were doing lost their spots after the mapservers, and that's something I want to avoid in the future.

I have to add in that I truly appreciate you putting these together. It has been an event I look forward to weekly to play my badger. It was a shame we did not get the badges due to non-listending/reading but I had a blast none the less. I look forward to the BAF

Forming in Pocket D is a very good idea, I like it. Also, to anyone who joined us last time, be aware that we will be trying again during Naughty or Nice, on December 3rd. See the link in my sig if you haven't already read up on the event.

Is tonight MoBaf?

So tonight was sort of a mess, there were not a lot of people on and we ended up starting over an hour late with a very light league. We were able to pick up Not on My Watch but our adds team got overwhelmed, and I think people got confused with where they were supposed to be. It came down to the fact that you can't make people read league chat, unfortunately.

Anyways, we finished the trial just fine- Our Siege team was unable to slow down when the adds team was having trouble finishing up the spawns quickly, they killed him and he repowered. I think that members of the Nightstar team might have followed me to the Helipad as I went to help out the adds team, because she ended up getting loose and costing us the Keep Em Separated badge. After that, we just killed the AV's with the swiftness and were unable to pick up Strong and Pretty.

Thanks to everyone for coming out, I know we were missing some of the usual participants and someone kept forming lambda's or something in RWZ which probably didn't help... What can ya do though?

Anyways... Next Saturday the event will be at a different time. We will be re-attempting MoKeyes at 3 PM est as a part of Naughty or Nice.

We decided to make this Keyes run on a sign up basis, so please contact myself @Septipheran or @Stone Daemon or sign up here.
