It was a great tactical victory, using SJR's tendency to rotate counterclockwise while they push to drive them into a mountainside and catch them in the open.

Then they airstriked and arty striked them into submission.

And why do they tend to move counter clockwise, boys and girls? Because the meta modules can only be equipped in the right arms and torsos and moving around the map counterclockwise allows you to stick the meta round the corner first. So...what did we learn? WHAT DID WE LEARN?!?

[LoPanShui]

Meta makes you predictable!

Predictably deadly, though, so there you go.

FYI, the 201st Strykers never have any bugs, so we're never down for a hot fix.

Remember, once you know it exists, it's not a bug anymore...now it's a feature. What's your favorite feature of the 201st?

[LoPanShui]

My favorite feature of the 201st is our 'Mech Build names.

Jagerbomb!
Bitchslap!
Devil Dog!
Brawlsome!
Laser *******!
Trollcust!
Buzzsaw!

GOOD TIMES!

Apparently, some of our 'mech names are not rated "G", sorry kiddos.

If I had to guess, I'd say "What has 7 letters and rhymes with kitties?"

[LoPanShui]

Cities!

Maths is hard.

[blackcatf]

Ha ha ha! The only way they have of knowing if they might be right is if the guess the post ends up looking the same way.

Don't forget that Round 2 of the King of Strykers Tournament starts this weekend. Grab your partners and your stock Mechs for Terra Thermopylae!

2 Competition Mechs defending Theta in Terra Therma against 12 Stock Mechs for as long as possible!

[blackcatf]

I'm looking forward to it. I've even got my Horde!™ 'mech painted in non-201st colors.

[Rummages through the MWO manual]Anybody know how to get inferno missiles loaded into my Stalker's SRM launchers?

[LoPanShui]

Terrathermopylae was a blast! Against all odds we actually had one team survive THE HORDE, taking out 8 stock 'Mechs by themselves. Good job, guys!

[blackcatf]

Yeah, it sounded really fun...stupid internet connection.

[LoPanShui]

And Next Week is the Back to Basics matches, with 3025 Primary Variant Stock Mechs in lance on lance combat!

[blackcatf]

And 'mechs will be shutdown everywhere.

These matches were all somewhere cold, right?

[LoPanShui]

River City! Heat neutral is fine, right?

[blackcatf]

Sure...crap, that means I have to find/build myself a stock 3025 primary 'mech again...that's not the Griffin or Locust

[LoPanShui]

I'm using a Wolverine! AC/5, Medium Laser and SRM6 is good, right? 81kph?

[blackcatf]

I like the stock WVR-6R Wolverine...but I don't think mine is stock anymore...I may have to check that out.

[LoPanShui]

I'm expecting to see a lot of Atlases, Shadow Hawks and Jenners. Probably more than a few Hunchbacks and Catapults as well.

That 3025 Shadowhawk is capable of consistent DPS at any range for extended periods. The Hunchback packs a mean close in punch and the Atlas packs more than enough armor to scare anyone.

I would love to use something that doesn't require me to shell out any/many C-Bills...which means I'm going to try hard to not buy a new 'mech or unequip double heat sinks to make this work. That doesn't mean it will work that way, but that's my plan. Oh how I wish the Grasshopper were in MWO now.
