Interesting minor feedback after posting my set of run-on thoughts here this week, and in no real order. 1. Of course this is not an original idea to "run" a team. Perhaps the title should have been, "in the spirit of those before me I have chosen to weaksaucely follow in other folks ...

But that's just the basics of being a meta user. There's another goal if you are going to run a team and really manage it well. You're gonna have to learn some meta programming. Yep. get over it. Look I have a computer science degree. And while I'm not a programmer by day, I "Get" how to d...

So learning the tooling that makes for an automated group was an entire goal I had to make happen. One weekend over the summer, I decided to simple stop fighting. I went at about 1/4 pace through some rather typical activities. For example, restocking. Do you also look back at years of game play and...

Day six. Realize writing this stuff down may be of interest. all the doogs will be 225 today. Aetheria tonight after work. interim days have had successes, nothing too dramatic (Days two-three, got everyone into a suit of some kind. like AOD for this short-term application. minor buffs, armor that w...

Day two: Burn a few more colo coins. we made some. all the doogs are level 200. Go to Snowy Valley. get tasks. Take too long; at the 45 min mark 3=4 of 6 new doogs have Mnemnosyne. need buffs, gurogs pund faces. run group through again after rebuff. 6 new doogs are Lum flagged on the Saturday after ...

Day one. Buy last of core skills. load up them bows and Xbows. Go get a nice "375" void caster for new void doog. Group makes 180 today. Whee. Run group on focusing stone. get stone, get diemos rock. Go get other two Diemos rocks. Day one. Complete Diemos flagging, kill diemos. Be smug, yo...

Day zero: get the group into colo. New tricks in group management. With TEN, I've been able to do split fellows for months. Tricky to learn, when your leader makes two busted followers and you "Get to ten", those become, by label, A and B. A stays put. leader cleans out hte group, leaving ...

And from Day 0 for the new doogs, let's go back about a week and a half. Did Hoshino's and Rynthid tasks using my TEN doogs about twice. stuffed away something like 1600 pulls worth of legendary keys. Adjusted my loot profile "downward" to be far more forgiving, set profile to pick up a lo...

Ok so it's November. I have had nine or ten doogs fighting alongside each other since about July of this year. And ten *will not* beat the Gauntlet. We have one retired, and one active group effort that's Gauntlet-proven on TD. I'd like to set the challenge for myself, and honestly/selfishly, be abl...

I've been an AC player since Dec 1999. And a fair at best, often having to learn from others to up my game. So you'll not be surprised that about 5-6 years ago, I decided that a few accounts and a "/follow" mentality (WOW influence...) to drag three doogs around behind one, and hope they d...
