I cannot say how many times I've seen entire teams turn around to 'chase the cookie'

This often results in the blob crumbling, turning about to focus its entire attention on the tasty little cookie.

Thought process goes along these lines:

Chips ahoy! There goes the cookie into the river. Get it! Murder the cookie!

As the entire team turns about face to get the singular cookie, Snickerdoodles loom over the ridge, ready to strike with their cinnamony goodness. Let me tell you, Snickerdoodles can be tough cookies, but none so tough as the Ginger Snap.

But the reality is, you are the tasty cookie now. The tasty underside of the Oreo, the exposed creamy filling ready to be demolished by the incoming Ginger Snaps and Snickerdoodles. The oreo crumbles in the onslaught and has been preyed upon by the mightier Snickerdoodles and Ginger Snaps. Not even the best Mint Thin or Samoa can brave the onslaught of an entire army of Ginger Snaps.

So, the moral of the story is: If you see a light mech just running around, it is not a tasty cookie, it is a distraction or a scout. The real danger lies over the ridge or around the corner, waiting to pounce on your soft backsides.

Don't chase if you don't have at least a couple of the following
90+ kph
BAP/CAP
SSRMs
LB-X ACs
Pulse Lasers

Or it is you that will crumble, along with your team. Your oreo will be split otherwise, and will be at the mercy of the enemy team.

That's the way the cookie crumbles.

yo know sometimes, its worth. when the coockie choose "bad" path, the 5-7 mechs can finish him pretty fast. Specialy, when he runs, too deep to our back alone, its dead coockie.

But ofc, situation like DW alone follows coockie in open water in frozen colony to get decimated from other 11 enemy mechs within 10 second, is something rly special....ye

Unless you are the Cookie monster, and that is your job, to go get um before they get away......


But yes, a group should never be chasing one mech, unless your sure it is a quick/easy kill, and the main group is no where in site.
