Hiya! I run that event. We start forming every Saturday night at 8pm ET. There are usually 2 main leagues that run the TF. And then 2 overflow Leagues who start forming around 9:15pm to help corral the Babbages. The patience and cooperation that everyone displays is remarkable. It takes a lot of time for 10+ teams to spawn and pull the Babbages before I give the GO. Since the calendar on the forums is disabled. I'm posting the rules here: 1 - All teams in the league do the missions of a normal Synapse TF until we get to the "Defeat the Clockwork Lord" mission. 2 - Once the Clockwork Lord is defeated and the mission is completed, wait to exit until all other teams complete the mission. So bring your patience! 3 - This is not a race. The goal is to work together to spawn as many Babbages as we can and defeat them together. Nagging or taunting anyone for how fast or slow they reach the Clockwork Lord mission will not be tolerated. 4 - We will be staggering our exits. When the OK is given for your team to to exit, leave the mission and collect your Babbage. 5 - We then pull the Babbages to an open central area for a party! Since we're in league, it's easy to pick a spot that's central to all the teams. And Babbage will follow you anywhere... just be careful to keep him away from any police drones.

Some people in the overflow leagues spawn them. Last week we had 27 Babbages and 2 Kronos. The lag was REAL. Also, we forced a Skyway 2.

Three weeks in a row we've had 2 main leagues running Synapse TFs and 2 overflow leagues, We had 17 Babbages and 3 Kronos Titans, I'm still amazed at how everyone patiently waits until we get everything and everyone gathered so that no one misses out. This community is awesome. Thank you everyone!

What started out as a small, weekly run among friends has turned into a server-wide festival. Tonight, Saturday Night Synapse pulled in 17 Babbages. The main league had 46 players. The overflow league had 47. Rumors of Torch's death have been greatly exaggerated. Thank you to everyone who joins the main league for the Synapse run. Thank you for coming week after week to do no one's favorite TF. Thank you for following instructions and waiting to exit the Clockwork Lord until your team is called. We lose far fewer Babbages that way. And you all definitely keep league chat interesting. Thank you to everyone who brings a bonus Babbage. I'm thrilled that idea has caught on and we are now getting more bonus Babbages than team Babbages! 11 bonuses this week... WOW! Thank you, also, to the overflow league. Thank you for cheering us on. Thank you for taking out the cogs so they don't kill us all. And most of all, thank you for being patient as we pull all the Babbages together, and following directions and waiting to attack until the main league is ready. The teamwork that Torch displays every Saturday night in Skyway brings me so much joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was in my early 30s when I started CoH in beta in 2004. My first (and really only) MMORPG. Now I'm... significantly older... and I do like my AARP discounts and benefits

Please, yes!

Such sad news. Hera was always fun to team with. He will be sorely missed.
