I oppose this! After all, we could end up with a Lead Designer who can't play the game anymore :D
(Although I'm quite confident Paul'd kick your *** :D )

I suppose that since you cannot have a Mech without being in game that this puts you at an extreme disadvantage. Maybe you should just play paper, rock, scissors. :D

No, because you'd already have to be in the beta in order to fight that Trial of Possession.

And based on the timeline, there won't be any Trials of Possession in the I.S. until well after launch, anyway.

Sorry, we are all IS here (till the clan invasion next year). No such code of honor options. Besides, challenging a dev to single combat may be risky: that is like fighting an Agent in the Matrix: they can change the rules on you!

Challenge accepted.
However, since you are not in the beta, your mech is just gonna be standing there while Paul shoots it.
You lost.

Considering there he hasn't accepted nor have we stated terms on what I lose if he wins nothing happens. Also we haven't decided on forces nor combat so there's that as well.

It might work... though if paul were to win you might be forced to play MWO henceforth with an atlas with only 1 small laser or something equally as sinister... scary thoughts

Well if he wins there will be a lot of destroyed mechs embarrassed about being destroyed by an atlas with a small laser.

My name is not so important and I represent a not so important Clan. I hereby challenge Paul for a pair of beta keys and bid an unarmed ex Delta Force member for this trial of possession (he doesn't know yet hehe). Name the place and the price, Paul.

Woah woah woah, I already put my challenge out there. And I can make the terms that he never allow another person to challenge him can I not?

Pretty sure they do at the moment. Just they haven't invaded yet.

Well then, fellow Clanner, it appears that you have to weigh the honor to be gained from challenging Paul, who knows nothing of our ways, against the honor to accept the challenge of a fellow Clanner. I can understand if you prefer to 'molest' Paul unhindered, but you will most likely not gain in honor and instead of being allowed to commit suicide if you fail, you will be kept as pet, instead of a proper bondsman, although we do know that even the latter has a different meaning in the Inner Sphere.

The greatest freebirth warrior is levels above some clanner not even worth my notice.
