I'll go over the badge requirements before we start, but the meat of the trial involves boosting a progress bar called Public Opinion. It's the yellow bar in your trial UI. The way to boost it is to click the glowing terminals found inside the 3 buildings on the map. Before a terminal can be clicked, the Technician guarding it must be defeated. The Technician cannot be damaged until the IDF around it are pulled away or defeated. So the order of events is usually run into building > pull IDF away > spike Technician > click terminal. Keep doing that until Public Opinion reaches 500. Public Opinion also declines over time, so if the league is especially slow at clicking terminals, it's possible to fail the trial if it reaches zero.
That is what 90% of the league will be focused on. We will also have a small team of people with strong single target damage that will focus on Telepathists, which are bosses that spawn outside. For every Telepathist alive, a map wide debuff is applied to the league. They also have the ability to brainwash civilians into attacking the league.
Throw in a few fights with Maelstrom and that is TPN in a nutshell. It's a fairly repetitive trial. If you'd like more information on it, I'd recommend reading this overview and looking at Master of TPN Campus from Paragon Wiki.

I'll be around to help out. I have the badges on my main.
I have somethin' earlier in the day, but I should be around to help, if needed.

TPN is not a very complicated one once you get the feel of it, Ulysses. Hopefully I'll be there as a filler for people who need the badge, I have all of them on my badger.
I'll be there, probably on my blaster Niqodemus.
I'll be there with my tank!
So I was kind of expecting i23 to go live June 5th or sometime thereafter, but looks like it is going live tomorrow.
This may decrease the interest in a MoTPN. However, I'll still show up to run this at the time listed. As long as we can get the minimum needed to start (12 players) I will proceed with the trial.

I would like to reserve a spot for this as well. Do not have any of those badges.
Thanks

Alrighty, I'm planning on being there for MoTPN despite i23.

Just found out I'm going to have to work Saturday night, so I'm not going to be able to help out after all. Good luck to you all.

As many people have helped me out with content that they already have all possible benefits from, I will make an extreme effort to be here on Saturday to help out with this, to fill it if nothing else. It has a low chance of not quite working out, depending on how insane my 3 year old decides to be at bedtime.
I'm pretty secure with knowing how to run Kral-Raiden in TPN, so it should be much better than that Master of Keyes run where I was running in circles half the time (but still somehow helped us get Avoids the Green Stuff and Loves A Challenge).
I think I need this one, I'll try to be there.

I'll be there. May be a bit after 7:30 before I make it, but I'll be there before 8:00 so save me a spot if you can.
This is tonight!

I should be around, and can bring an appropriate character to thin out those pesky telepathists, or herd away from consoles.
Congrats on the MoTPN badges!

All five badges + Master confirmed! Great run everyone. Thanks for hosting, Amy.
Congrats to everyone that came out. We absolutely destroyed this. Well done!

Grats all! Wish I could've made it 
And crushed a MoM after to get Perfect Storm. Probably the best MoM I've seen in a while. Awesome league!

Many thanks goes out to Amygdala for her awesome leadership abilities and to the professional players on Champion server.
You know...I am considering making Champion my home server for my badge hound...

@Ukase
I came to volunteer, but it was full. Grats on the badges!
This Saturday June 2nd at 8pm Eastern in Pocket D I will host a MoTPN run. We should be able to get all the badges in one run. If for some reason we miss one, I'll run it again.
I suspect most players already have MoTPN but I know of a few that still need it and can't make the trials run during the week. So if you plan on attending, please post to let me know if you actually need the badges and would like to reserve a spot or are just coming to help. I will give priority to those needing the badge.
I will start forming at 7:30pm in Pocket D. Please bring level shifted characters if possible. See you then!
