Greetings, MechWarriors!

Here at Piranha Games, we have noticed a few changes now that we have our [PGI] tag showing up on the score board. And by ‘changes’ we mean ‘get him!’ Sure, we get some admiration - but more often than I care to admit the “GLHFs” gets replaced by “Kill the DEV!” chants while my team forms a defensive circle. (Or more often, leave me to die a terrible death alone.)

Thus, we have decided the time is obviously ripe for “Piranha Dev Hunt 2 The Sequel!” Now is your chance to hunt down and butcher a dev, then get a banner for proof!

Today, starting at 6pm PST (till 8pm PST,) three different Piranha devs will be online, with the NGNG crew streaming their games live. That isn’t all, however; anyone who managers to take out an (ENEMY! Yes we can tell when you team damage or kill) dev gets a Piranha Hunt banner! That’s right, the Piranha Hunt is back!

So join us, tonight, and face the wrath of Kyle ‘Thanks For Damaging That Guy' Lawrence; Karl ‘Wait, What Does Q Do?’ Berg; Mike ‘Squawk!’ Forst. All games will be broadcast live on twitch.tv/igp – so tune in and join in!

Various ‘Come At Me Bro!’ references,

Glad I reread this, this is how it looked at first.

“Thus, we have decided the time is obviously ripe for “Piranha Dev Hunt 2 The Sequel!” Now is your chance to hunt down and butcher a dev, then get banned as proof!”

Never seen a Dev in game, maybe I will see one tonight:)

I want a PGI skull trophy I can put inside my mech

[Carrilla]

Always assuming we get lucky enough to get in the same drop, lol.

[DragonsFire]

So can I retroactively get a banner for bagging 2 devs in 1 round?? Pretty please?

[Parnage]

The game is afoot!

Dev premades are OP

I really would like to participate in this but having a familiy doesn`t allow me be online at this time (it`s 3am-5am in Germany). Why can`t you do a Piranha Hunt when you guys come to the office in the morning?! If you start playing at 9am your time, we EU players would be able to participate, as well.

Best regards,
m4rTi

I've dropped with devs a handful of times, but never against one (to my knowledge).

But let the games begin!

Seen 2, 1st time it was Paul (my guildmate killed him) and 2nd time dev was on our team.

I've had devs recognize me and say "hi Thontor" in chat before I even noticed they were in the same match.. I think Alex Iglesias and Dennis de Koning have done this... Heh

There is a legitimacy to the "get em" attitude. Last time I had 2 Devs in a game it was like "Anakin with the Padawans", a slaughter of simple innocents while beings of immense power and evil slayed all that stood before them.

I dropped against a dev last night. Everyone (including my self) decided to ignore the 3 LRM Stalkers and other brawlers to try to hunt the Dev.

I want one of those banners!

I do have to say thanks to the developers, PGI, and Piranha for a good game that is getting better every patch.

Sometimes I really hate the whole concept of timezones and day and night cycles...

remember the traditional greeting:

HI <Devs name>!
We love you unfortunately now you have to die.

It's going to be a fun night indeed!
