I am still in need of Triple Threat, so I'll be in for that, and otherwise just bring someone appropriate to help with other badges.

Thanks all who came out tonight! Everything went very smoothly except for the Triple Threat badges at the end. 
We were a bit light on DPS, debuffs and +survival buffs, so the AVs sort of had their way with us on the first try, and we ran out of time (only because of the 3-way DPS split, though). We juggled characters a bit and went at it again and did much better and I am pretty sure we would have had it, but we were cursed by the clock and two AVs both had regen health ticks kick in just as we started killing them. We missed it by a country mile as a result. It was pretty late by then, so we called it a night.
We did get Keep em Separated (BAF) and Fair and Balanced (TPN). Then, despite my declaration of no Underground badges, we reached a point were too big a league for the other trials except Magi, and everyone either wanted the badge or was cool with the attempt, so we ran a bomb badge Underground. We executed coordinated rushes against the bombs in the spore hallway, and sniped the ones in the "crowded" bomb hall. It went extremely smoothly. The league was a joy to play with on that, and hey, I got Master of the Underground on an extra character.
Remember, more Really Hard Way badge trials Saturday night at 9 EST.

Uber, I have played with you for many years. We started out having lots of friends in common on Justice and then outlasted those friends. I think that both of us preferred to follow than lead; to be the trusted lieutenants and let others be the boss.
So please believe me when I tell you how much I appreciate you taking this bull by the horns and organizing many, many runs of these trials so that I and others can get these badges.
Thanks, UberDude.

It's definitely bittersweet - it's cool to be the person forming the leagues that pull this stuff stuff off (recognizing fully how meaningless the leader is without good players helping), yet it's sad that I (and all of us) will lose direct contact with those achievements before long.* And yet, without that Sword of Damocles out there, I don't think I would be running this stuff at all, and so wouldn't have that memory to cherish. It's weird.
* Barring a miracle by the community or some other investment, which is still technically possible, even if we lose access to the game for a while while it unfolds.

So Real Life kept me away from CoH for a few days, so I didn't hit my goal of running badge trials last Sunday, or scheduling any more Really Hard Way Magi Trials for early this week.
Therefore, I'd like to propose the following.
- "Regular" badge trials this Friday, October 5th, starting at 9 PM Eastern time. Basically, I'll take requests for iTrials aiming for badges that are not one of the following.
- Avoids the Green Stuff (Keyes)*
- Loves a Challenge (Keyes)*
- Really Hard Way (Magi)
- Ready to Rumble (Magi)
- Anything from the Underground Trial
- Really Hard Way Magi trials on Saturday, October 6th, starting at 9 PM Eastern time.
* These badges are really, really hard to get, because just one person's mistake can screw it up for everyone. I'm really just not planning to try for these at all. (It took me ages to get them both on my main badge character.) I exclude these badges because they call for special league composition, while the other trials generally do not, with the exception of the Underground.
I exclude the Underground only because it is so time consuming, especially the bomb badge, and has some (relatively minor) league composition needs. If there is demand for Underground badge runs, I am willing to lead them, but we should schedule it separately.
Basically the Friday leagues are open to whoever and pretty much whatever, so long as you are willing to attend (and help with) badge runs of various trials. I will finally be going for Triple Threat at least once on Friday.
The Saturday league calls for Corruptor overload. We need lots of Corruptors with decent DPS (or who can help give allies good DPS), DR debuffs, +defense buffs, and one good taunter.
Even if you have this badge already on everyone who "needs" it, please consider helping out. The best help would be bringing one of the things we need to succeed, either a DPS-ing Corruptor, some other sort of /Rad, /Dark or /Cold, or whatever else you might have that can contribute raw DPS. (Naturally, if you need the badge on someone, bring that, but depending on who shows up with what, we may need people to swap around.)
I'll be linking this on the FB JFA group as well.
