CONGRATS! I wanted you all to win as well.
I too felt it a pleasure to pilot along side you and the other greats this weekend.
It was neat to have so many good matches with familliar names.
Thanx for the good read!
It was absolutely the best weekend of gaming ever!

Well done, Broceratops!

Also, good read - I was wondering how it was for the folks who were playing all weekend.

I think the point system actually rewarded you most for raw damage dealt per match over everything. I noticed the biggest leaps in points each update when I got games where I did buttloads of damage

Generally, when you get buttloads of damage you are getting kills, assists, spotting, and component destruction. So it makes sense really.

DocBach ~ I agree.

Congrats Bro! Nice win and thanks for writing about your experiences. It was a good read. I didn't play all that much over the weekend but I did get in a dozen matches or so. Having more close matches than before so its getting better all the time.

Broceratops should stream his adventures, he has the skill and attitude to be a good streamer. Not to mention he has the eye of the community on him. Looking at the Mechwarrior channel as a whole right now it is disappointing seeing only ~35 TOTAL viewers for all the streams when NGNG isn't on.

We are all glad you two got as much of a good laugh as the rest of us did at your silly posts, if you think us playing the game is such a terrible waste of time and we should be drinking our faces off (TEXAS STYLE!) instead, why are you even here reading forums trying to get attention, go back to bed with your.. erm.. girlfriend... and always remember, EVERYTHINGS bigger in texas!

Im confused. Are you saying I told you to drink or are you making asinine generalizations that all texans are drunks? Either way sort of (read: completely) foolish. I never said the game was a waste of time either. I love the game . Playing 40 plus hrs so people will pat you on the back is stupid, which is what I said. Like most on the I ternet you lack reading comprehension skills. Oh and dont worry not everything is bigger in texas. For e ample patience for ******* in NOT bigger in texas. Im sure I could c9me up with generic insults about where you live too but I really dont give a **** about small minded people.

Great read Bro'tops, glad you took the time to write that for us all and for PGI. You have a great attitude too, which is very cool. If I had a banner I would award it to you for attitude alone. I am slightly jealous that you got the chance to do it, if my RL let me I would have had a crack at it (and lost, being realistic.)

However I am MORE jealous of Stone Profit... such interpersonal skills! So likeable! If only I could be like that... I mean, the guy has a girlfriend (he did mention it a few times if anyone missed it)! And he went to bed with her, OMG!! He didn't post for 14 minutes, so I'm guessing it was business time, if you know what I mean. Wish I could do 14 minutes, I am well-jel
Also he sounds like he has his own business and is amazingly popular and reads books and stuff. And he does it all while he is posting on these forums. His spelling and typos make it seem like he is just drunk all the time, but I bet a banner he isn't. He is just doing it with one hand, while with the other hand he is making sucessful business (the other type of business, like selling stuff or building a, er, a building). Boy, I wish I was that guy.

Nah just t6ping on a phone with small keys and big thumbs. I like your attempts at insults tho very third grade of you.
Im glad I got you all worked up thinking about me. Haters gonna hate ya know
All these replies to my postw and not one contained any arguments to counter what I said, only insults. You All win the internets!

christ you played a full hundred games more then me lol

[JudgeDeathCZ]

Congrats.
I bet I had at least half of drops you had just bcuz I am XPing up Trebuchets...and I can asure you non of them was solo drop.
It was pretty stupid decision that it is only for solo players.Why I would like to drop alone if I am in House unit? -.-

[Solis Obscuri]

Sounds like you definitely won the trial by ordeal - gratz, man.

This also reminds me why I decided not to bother with the tourney - I was not up for a weekend of sleep deprivation and grinding by any means.

It wasnt about the players it was about the data.

@OP what mech did you use?

[knight-of-ni]

Congratulations on the win Broceratops!

So did you go into work today or are you catching up on your sleep? ....dreaming of Urbanmechs, of course.

[Dracol]

Congrats on the win. I am honored to have fought against you a few times during your adventure.

Well done for sticking it out and winning. I only played a few games checked, leader board and saw which way things were heading ie massive insane grind. At that point it was screw this. How about more of a gladitorial contest next time PGI?

Thanks for the write up. I had full intentions of going all gamer junkie on this as, well back in the day when i was trying for that warlord spot also, dam vanilla wow.

Went to bed number 25 at 3 am on friday and woke up late saturday, with the kids yelling at me and the wife throwing dishwater on my face to see i had fallen to 98. Played a couple matches to see how the grind would be, looked at my wifes dissaproving face and went out to shovel.

Congratulations Sir. (p.s. i was rooting for pat kell but you'll do!, lolz)

[Exoth3rmic]

Congratulations! Brilliant write up too, thank you for sharing it.

I especially like that you had a goal, knew what it entailed, and saw it through to the end.

Do wish I had that time available to play too!

[Sean Kye]

Well done Broceratops! I was unable to hang, to old. Still had fun and happy to say I remember seeing you in a match or two. I got to witness a small moment of your rise :-).

Congrats on a well devised plan and it's execution.

[Stone Profit]

Now how am I supposed to kill the afternoon if you lowlifes dont keep trying to insult me? guess Ill go play some mwo! See you on the battlefield I hope.
