any questions? :D

(and please... I only PUG, so park the self righteous twaddle at the door and learn to have a little fun.)

Does this forum community need to take itself just a TEENSY bit less seriously?

Please, feel free to post your "favorite PUG life" screen shots!

(Idea for the next mech to be introduced.... the PUG-01 PUG.. a lag shield enhanced ECM equipped mech with 8 missile hardpoints and a radar that has no IFF)

Ritalin is a stimulant, the last thing some of the people on this board need are uppers.

Everyone here either needs an E-tab or Blunt.

Except for PGI programmers, in which case it's rails and energy drinks for the foreseeable future.

Dunno, Connor... i'd hafta to say the OP is about as germane and legit as all the "Premades has ruined mah lonewolf experience" posts.

Which is to say I think probably ALL of the above should be moved to off topic... or the trash. Though I think you just proved OPs point.

Actually to be honest the pubbies aren't all that wrong, something is up, but it isn't sync dropping alone.

Kong has been dropping small coordinated A1 boomcat groups with the intent on stimulating the community and everyone is starting to " play fool to catch wise ".

Right now theres a K2 and A1 arms race in the pubs and the pugs are losing their damn minds.

Some times it's so bad you feel like you need a bath afterward, then again some times you need a rebel to shake things up.

This picture is inaccurate. The pug's here are together, which is rather uncommon ingame.

We've had games where the enemy does infact long range support gun us, or LRM us.

When they do this, we just force cap at 90 KPH or use an ECM scout or Hug cover and rush them all at once.

There is no counter, you'd need a really really really really good and cordinated group of snipers.

I mean, some of us carry JJ's.

does lead one to ponder just how people can scatter to the 4 winds and STILL manage to utterly screw each other over, right? (Though of course, it HAS to be a Pre-Made's fault!)

You mean it's not my 1 tag, 1 ppc, 1 LBX10, 1 Narc, 1 SRM4 1 LRM15 ECM Atlas?

I've worked in kitchens forever, no amount of anything will personally offend me. This however is more flamebait than a good laugh. At least when Elo drops we can have an entirely new set of crying and mockery available, this set is just old and stale.

I think this picture was taken at the match start... you know, that time when many of the mechs crash into each other. It's quite similar to what is shown in the image.

Clearly 3 of them are stuck behind a slow mech like an Atlas while 1 of them stuck behind the "Atlas" appears to be having a bit of a problem with friendly fire.

The pug facing the wrong way probably decided to turn around in front of the group to go check caves or something.
