Welp. Almost midnight EST and that's it for me. 8th place for Cicadas but I know I'm going to get pushed out of the top 10 before this ends. Regardless, it was a lot of fun. Whoever wins this thing DEFINITELY earned it, because I played my butt off and it still wasn't even close to being good enough.

Also, totally random aside: I made a pile of c-bills during this event, and I didn't even notice it! That's one good thing about the tourneys. You're so focused on playing well and placing that the profit is totally ignored.

For me, at least.

Major kudos to you. I've been (aside from the few groups I did with a nice bunch of guys just now) grinding my Cicada's like nothing else the last couple of days. Averaging 450 damage and 2 kills and I'm at 126 atm. Cup of coffee, quick bite to eat them I'm putting in another two hours of solid praying that the PUGs on my side aren't morons who think that scattering to the winds is the way to win games.

With any luck I'll break the top 100 and be a very happy moon.

And now, after TESO does not catch me, i am back to EU IV (Ironman Mode) trying to make East Frisia at least once in history a World Dominating Power (But EU IV combat sucks way - its a ******* Action Game now instead of Grand Strategy in that regard in a sadly bad way) and my savegame broke so i have to restart.

I'll have to look into Europa Universalis. The only grand strategy games I've played are the Total War series (most notably Medieval I and II). Those and Crusader Kings are the only strategy games that interest me much, purely because they seem to encompass the nuances of forging alliances and trade routes more than simply steamrolling your enemies with superior force.

Now, where did I put my MEII-Total War discs...

Server disconnects and one boot to the login screen with "Unknown Failure." Anyone else getting this? The traffic might just be too much for their poor, tortured servers to handle.

Oh, well. I think I hit my performance ceiling hours ago, anyway. Good luck, pilots. The competition is fierce.

[kesuga7]

all i can say is tthat the kintaro leader boards lack allot of build variety

anyway congrats to tourney winners

[Troopie]

Congrats to winners.

I must say, games were totally different than normal weekend, and that is in good way.

There were totally different variety of mechs than normal.

Maybe we see more these kind of weekends or time periods with some prize for winners.

[Mainhunter]

I did a mistake and played 5 different mechs..... If I had focused on only 1-2 chassis, may I had made it into the top 10. But anyway, its hard to reach the 2k+ area. To much luck has to be involved. There seems to be time zones, were more beginners are playing. Thats were I made a 7 kill battle, but with good players around, you have to be lucky to get 3 kills at best.

Thats so far for me, I will take a look at the game at the next tournament, maybe they can do meds vs meds, or similar match ups.

[PickleM0nster]

Was fun to play my cents again..At time of posting made no66 with 1805 points .not bad considering the time i had to play . Was fun and a little frustrating at times but the Cbills gain was good.Might buy my first assault..or maybe not.. maybe griffon! stick with the mediums.

[Amarock]

Congrats to all Winners.

[Ironwithin]

Almost over ...don't have another match in me. The last few were horrible, horrible experiences. DAMN YOU, PEOPLE THAT OVERTOOK ME ! DAMN YOU TO MECH-HELL!

In the words of immortal scotty: "I cannae do it capt'n! I joost don't have the powerrrr!"

Great tourney, though, grats to the winners all around.

[Eglar]

it's not over yet. I stopped playing because there is really no need to improve (plus i can't seem to) anymore.
focus on last sprint
Lights with 2nd place and first place.
Assaults since Schoppenhauer logged on, he might still grab the second.
Skyer Stralende: Great Effort, catching up on Shadowhawks - if you can get past me, I'll hand it over. (Even if i haven't seen you a single match)

During the entire tournament I would think that Proton is the uncontested king for starting last day and crushing all the tough competition, kudos.

Too bad there is something dubious happening in the lights leader board.
There is a certain ranker that I strangely have not come across in any of my matches and I played... A lot of matches. (another ranker also gave me the same feedback)

Edited: typo

Which ranker are you talking about? Me?
I don't think it's that dubious to not meet somebody. I only recall dropping with Edmiester and Coburn and nobody else out of the current top ten, but I saw a lot of people from the other lists. It's very possible that I missed some, because I don't look at names too often, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing fishy going on. Just time zone differences and lots of matches.

he means the current #1 I'm pretty sure about that. Haven't come across him yet either .and that's why they should equalize ELO for tournaments in my opinion..

The light leaderboard is especially interessting if you look at the builds:
With Shin and Ed staying true to Embers and Jenners (Hit and run plus buttwiping) Lord Az is going with a 3L with 2x ER Large ho[ing for one of those "Raven saves the day" matches

[CdI]

For me, this was a very fun weekend.
Coming out as 99th with a score of 1940 with my SHD
was just the cherry on top
And most important, I have improved my driving/aiming skills

I've seen you though! =) You're a great pilot! I'll be happy with #2 if it keeps, but I just wish I'd had more of the weekend to give you a better run for the money! =D

Ah, okay. Haven't seen him either. Maybe he plays conquest exclusively, then I would never see him (giving him the benefit of the doubt).
I'm also in a 6 ml Jenner by the way. Tried some games in my Raven as well, but it didn't work out. Getting 10 matches like that is almost impossible.

Thanks! and I am sorry for not noticing.
Btw: My god, light ladderboard people really giving it everything

[Daxos]

Can this happen again, please! Out of town all weekend until 30 min before tourney end.

Yet another person says the same thing... What ever floats the leader's boat...

Zuff too bad I didn't come across you would have wanted to scope your builds as well.

Nice tournament all.. Good to have one after a long time.
It was lots funny fight along or against the current top light pilots (Well almost ALL light pilots)..

Edit: Woowie.. Ed got back top spot !!

Congrats to all the winners. I had a great time playing this weekend. I was really hoping to play against some of the top 10 people on the lists but unfortunately I didn't see any of them. In my opinion, the only way to get better is to play against someone better than yourself. It was also great to see the different type of builds for this tournament. I definitely learned a lot. Hope another tournament comes soon!
