Yeesh.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh, also fend off the Kronos Titan, as we continued with the Crimson arc.  Yikes.  Gathered together a quick ad hoc team, and broadcast to get another team, and eventually took that puppy down.  In the meantime, Torchy died twice, Hildy once.  Ah, well.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening, we tried another duo experiment &#8212; <em>All Brute\/Brute Action!<\/em> &#8212; but it didn&#8217;t quite gel.

We finished up Margie&#8217;s older Nemmie arc, and finished up the Crimson arc, too (including the final Kronos Titan war walls grind).  Big money, big prizes.  Started doing Portal Corp. mishes, and ended up dinging to 48, which made a nice way to end up the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, pretty successful, I think.  Tried a few things, went back to a successful team, played a fair amount but not obsessively.  Had fun.
