Yet you didn't pay me:

So how do I contact this Chancellor of yours?

If I was Kurita we would have beaten both Merc Corps and Davion. Our 47th Spot only had 2002 points. Not that it would have helped much. I blame the usual Kurita Powerhorses (Edmiester and Cyborx) for Kuritas bad ranking.


If I could gift C-bills, you'd be getting 10 million at least.

Even though I dropped from 12th to 18th I still won... cause I bought my Kurita banner so neener neener neener... it was even on sale!

I think if you went to the tournament page you could see what place you were in. There were several times I dropped out of the top ten and it showed where I was.

Not necessarily. I play my usual game, and see where I land. What's the harm?


Nothing wrong with that, but the fact that the winners of the tournament had 100+ matches tells you something.

There is a broken dynamic based on endurance or lack of something else to do on the weekend.

I had a blast. Sorry you didn't.

I'm not sure what you mean by "endurance winners", since you could play ten really good matches on the first day and never have to play another one the whole weekend.


Weekends are typically the worst matches, the tournament designed around solo scores makes for the worst team play in all of MWO.

Not seeing anything in my inventory so I'm guessing it has yet to be 'delivered'.

Sorry, but those scores are from the top 10 matches of the top 50 players. It isn't a "Faction" score...

Oh, I know, but take House Marik for example (sorry guys :ph34r: ), where sure, on the surface 105,026 is a great score from those top 50 Marik pilots. But when you consider that they also played about 200 games more, total, than the next most "active" faction (Lone Wolves) to get that 105,026, well, surely you see where I'm going with this.

Give House Liao another 900ish games with the scoring averages they seemed to be pulling, and all of a sudden it seems that, perhaps, rushing to give them the "Wooden Spoon" is, perhaps, a bit hasty in this case. :huh:

Edited to add: "P.S. This is intended in the spirit of good natured ribbing of the winners. All in all, good show everyone!" :P

Weekends are typically the worst matches, the tournament designed around solo scores makes for the worst team play in all of MWO.

It tells you the competition was extremely tough, actually. I was #2 in Davion Friday night, dropped to #5 by the morning, and slowly dropped to #8 by Sunday night, even though I had some pretty good matches and bumped my score another 300 or so points during that time. It was just a tough competition.

Also, regardless of what the scores were based upon, I saw by FAR the best teamwork I have ever experienced this weekend, and I solo drop exclusively. I had more spotters and help than I have ever saw before. It was a really good weekend and I really think the LRM/NARC buff helped teamwork immensely, as it actually made it worthwhile, instead of the ALLMINE direct fire mentality.

I am very proud of my Davion brothers. House Davion had the best ratio. More points earned with less matches played.

nice congrats to those guys who won.

Though the in game currency reward is a bit lackluster.
Congratulations you won 1 dollar worth of in game currency to runners up 3rd 4th 5th. so awesome.
