Indeed  ;D

 :) Great idea, I will most likely be on Sat.

Have to make a suggestion here however as well, I have been seeing post from Villians saying (for a lack of better words) they are feeling left out of these events. Most of the post seem to go something like this (or at least close to it) "I think it's great we are having the Rally / CC but they are always in AP or hero zones, why not do something on Mercy or Grandville (other zones have been mentioned as well)"

So I thought I'd bring this to your guys attention

[Laylarei]

what server are you doing this on? i think i missed where that said that :)

[Montechristo]

On Thursday September 20th at 9PM Eastern/ 2AM GMT

And

Saturday September 22nd at 12 Noon Eastern/5PM GMT

Are you sure about the GMT bit, here in the UK we are on BST, so would that be 3am and 6pm? (sorry to be an arse :( )

That's a good point. Why not do a double event? Posi for heroes, one of the SFs for villains?

I will try to be there Thursday, but, definitely on Saturday.

I just discovered this sight and have been relying on posts to the CoH Discussion Form Threads, but, will definitely be here to keep a closer eye on anything I can do to help.

I did send an email to one of the news anchors at Lexington, KY News Channel 18 in hopes of rallying some TV news support, of course, I don't expect to hear back from her, but figured I would give it a shot.

Join TonyV, myself and the entire Titan Network team in running the Positron Task Forces, part one and two. In the world's biggest synchronized Positron Task Force group across all the City of Heroes Servers.

All of 'em.  :)

You know, up until just a year or two ago this sort of thing was never an issue. The time posted is for the current time in the UK. So 2AM is 2AM in the UK, 5PM is 5PM UK time. As someone in UK's timezone tis important for me to keep these things straight too :P

I quickly put together a picture to promote this event. Hope you like it!

Awesome pic!  I'm the Titan Weapon guy doing Taunt.  I was wondering what the screenshot was for. 

As for the event, I'll be on both Thursday and Saturday, but I'm not 100% sure what time.  I'd like to run this on several characters so I'm down for running Posi several times over several hours if others are willing.

[eabrace]

You've outdone yourself once again, Leandro.  Excellent work.  :)

I've mostly played Villains in the 9 months I've played this game and I'm not really familiar with this.

Am I correct that this is a level 10-15 task force in Steel Canyon? I do happen to have a Hero in the right level range.

Should I try to go to any specific servers? (Due to unfortunate timing of holidays I'm not VIP right now, but I do have plenty of character transfer tokens - I know I still would need to unlock a slot on the right server).

Correct.  Part One is 10-15.  Part Two is 11-16.  Minimum team size for each part is 3.  Completion of both parts grants the Positron's Ally badge.

No particular server.  The plan is to simultaneously form teams on every server to run this event.

I've also seen this suggested over on the official forums:

Maybe we could bring them on board here?

[Cold Bob]

Good idea for an event; like most of you, I have been heartbroken since the announcement, and to be honest, haven't run a single mission let alone taskforce in the last two weeks...

I was there for the Unity Rally (Atlas Park 25 on Virtue) and am going to try to hit the Guardian rally next Monday night (September 17, 7:00 PM in Pocket D, IIRC) -- but, I'll DEFINITELY be there next Thursday night (September 20) on Infinity!

Cheers!

I hope we can convince you to get back into the game!  Playing is important :)

Though I totally understand not wanting to play.  It took me a few days.

cheers (Honestly, I got halfway through typing it and wanted to slap myself) thanks for clearing it up though!

[ajhicks]

Definitely going to try to get in on one of the Virtue teams, here.

Look for Electric Cossack seeking heroes to join FOR GLORIOUS PEOPLE'S SOLIDARITY TASK FORCE OF SOCIALIST JUSTICE!  (or something along those lines)

I may have to break out the bottle of Stoli I keep in the freezer for this.  :)
