Though this may fit into general discussion, I feel it is in fact a suggestion.
I read this yesterday ---> http://www.sarna.net...tle_of_Tukayyid
When the time comes for this event, I would like to see it played out.no doubt this would take a lot of planning, but it seems there is time. Doing a very rough calculation the Inner Sphere fields thousands of mechs, the Clans, far less, but quite a few anyway.
How i see this working is to have a registry system up so players may elect to take part in this historic event. I expect there will be a lot of interest. There will of course be players who do not wish to take part. Comstar is defending, so the Houses as such will be not much of an issue. There would be a lot of interest for people to play the Clans, and so would be far more players than positions (yes, I am suggesting historically accurate numbers/units) so a lottery or random allocation system, even first come-best-dressed. Players will be assigned to objectives, there was time to set up for Comstar, so there should be time for players to get a feel for their "new" lance, say a week. Same for the Clans, though they may need to be "tought" what to do according to the Clan they are assigned to. When it comes time for the Trial, Clan players are dropped at the appropriate time according to history, and where they were dropped in history.
There could be potential problems with players being able to play at THAT time , but with plenty of forewarning I see no reason not to do it. I myself would mark the calendar and make the time available, and understand not EVERYBODY can do the same.
As to the outcome, rewards according to objectives completed would make sense, however there is a great possibility for the battles to go in a different direction that history did. In these cases I would suggest not changing history, but instead give those players a title, something like "Historymaker" .
So the players assigned to say, Clan Diamond Shark, would if they took and held their objectives, be awarded the title. Reason being is in history Diamond Sharks were nearly wiped out and completly failed their missions.
The map would be HUUUGE, there would be hundreds of players on at once, it would be chaotic, tense, there would be an overwhlming sense of team to know you are fighting alongside 2,3,400 other teammates, or thousands for Comstar.
Anyway that was on my mind, so I had to suggest it.
Thanks for reading , have a good one
p.s. If I left out obvious points, say so
As was suggested to me once before, if you want to see this happen, Like This

As much as I'd like this to be possible and happen... It won't. We are on the internet playing a F2P game. Just as 4chan can't count to 10, organizing so many people to come together with good intentions to have a good time is impossible. There are too many F-Tards in the world that are so lonely they only enjoy ruining other people's good times. Attempting this only to have it ruined would be a lot of time wasted on a lot of people's behalves.
