I'm in. Week nights would likely be a best bet for sussing out a good crowd, though I know @Monocle Owl runs very excellent attempts. That would be a good place to start.

Places to find Leaguemates:
- SG
- Badge channels
- Trial channels like "Speed Trials" because you have more players who run trials often (need less practice).
- Badge sites. Sometimes, I'll click on leaderboards specifically looking for folks missing the same badge we're running.
Generally, folks will avoid the patches by:
- making certain their camera is out, being able to see their avatar and area around it
- avoiding slow animation attacks
- avoiding queuing up a 2nd attack (though hitting Escape wil cancel queued attacks)
- asking teammates not to fly. It's harder to avoid green patches which are less visible in the air.
Optional but handy:
- one or more leaguemates using League teleport to move bodies
- conference calls (Skype, Vent, TS) are great for team morale and gentle audible reminders during final phase
None of that matters if the AV casts Obliteration while everyone is frozen, especially if there's a longer freeze. Manage Anti-Matter's freeze time:
- taunt AM to the terminals before freeze time. The further he is from the next correct terminal, the longer the freeze time is. Terminal points on Wiki map. AV starts North, travels SE (lower right) and ends up SW (lower left).
- Pre-advise there will be a cease-fire call near 85%, 55%, and 25% of AM's health. The league will wait for AM to cast an obliteration ray, move out of the way and burn him down quickly. He freezes time at 80%, 50% and 20% HP; this means he will not have a new Obliteration ray available/recharged during freeze time.
Because of this, if it's a "must have" green badge run, I recommend 12 not 24 w/out casting a horde of pets. While pets do not count against the badge, too much damage burns the AV down very quickly without a chance to manage the cease-fire and freeze times. He just burns from 100 to 80 in a blink of an eye with a fresh Oblit ray.
This is also why I recommend friendly conference calls. That, or having macros for cease-fire and burn directions. It's better and easier to compensate if everyone understands the logic behind the strategy. For example.. if AM casts an Obliteration ray at exactly 85% or 86% then there's no point in calling cease-fire as the timing would allow the league to burn AM down to 80% immediately without fear of a 2nd ray right before or during freeze time.
Really, most will eventually get this badge on casual group runs using league teleport as a safeguard. I don't want to give the impression that badging has to be strict and severe but recommend extra measures for those who have tried casual attempts a few too many times and feel disheartened.

I'd use stick figure drawings for better illustrations than my wordy explanations but I'm not very good with stick figures either :P
Final note - successfully ran it the other day. Strategy still works. Best of luck to anyone preparing for this.
I'm all over this, Fabulous. I saw you start this up last night, but I had to bail for an early morning meeting. I'll catch you next time, I hope!
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
I'm all over this too. Set a time and I'm there (been trying for this myself for a while so +++experience on the matter).

I'd be willing to help out with any "Avoids" attempts as well. I finally finished it on my main badger a couple of weeks ago but now I need it on my second badger.

Berry and Xeden, did either of you need the badges or posting for assist? If you're free tonight, send me a pm in game @Ara. Looking to start around 7:30 pm CST / 8:30 pm EST.
Assuming Fuegos is just here to nap with everyone before Spring Fling ends. Bad boy.
Phew. Done.
Now I can leave the country for a few days before i22 spins us into a new Mo frenzy. Grats all! Good work!
Oh dear god, you people make these things look easy.

Good runs last night everyone! Nice leading Ara!
I found the Incandecense Destiny to be handy but not as effective as I envisioned. I think the biggest reason why was because we were on Skype. That's not to say I don't think it's a good idea to have someone slot Incandesence, more that I'm tipping my hat to the advantage Skype brings. Hence why I slotted Rebirth on the second run to help out those poor "DIS!" folks.
Call me anytime for a "Mo" run, I'm sure I can find a badger for it, got 10 afterall. :P

I've seen far too many Avoids runs fail just because one person gets careless despite how well everyone else was avoiding it. In those cases one Incandescence can spell the difference between a badge and no badge. Ideally of course as long as everyone's paying attention to what they're doing you shouldn't really need Incandescence, Skype or anything else extra like that at all.
Congrats to those who got badges.

Hey everyone!
I'm thinking of starting up a Master of Keyes event, I am curious what times and days of the week do you think this would be best done at?
I would like to run with 12 people, for ease of "avoids the green stuff".
Also anyone who is EXPERIENCED with running MoKeyes attempts, I could use your advice.
COMING SOON: A new Epic that will change the way you see Arachnos...
