Wow, a lot of fun last night. Great seeing some of the old crew along with some new faces last night. It was really nice with the drops coming so quickly. Thanks to everyone for being on the ball and getting ready for the next matches as fast as you did. Definitely makes for a more fun night. Just wish I could have stayed longer.

See you on Wednesday for Stock Mech Eras.

Was great fun last night everyone! Had a blast and was able to have the first ever TRO team exercise, which was awesome. What era is running for tomorrow night?

I had a great time last night, thanks for playing all!

I've got a screenshot of my Firestarter face to face with a Jenner! Thankfully a teammate blasted him off the top of the HPG!

Hmm guys maybe somebody with a better english than me do a request to Russ tweetter or maybe somewhere on forum about more options for Lobby? Something like No quirks, Only Basic level mechs?

[Tesunie]

I is sad (but only slightly). The King Crab has FF (the free one I got). So, I already customized it for my main account. Wait about a month before my stock account can get a hold of it.

Thanks Sergey!

I love the vids guys and you guys are starting to make me want to start doing filming as well. It would be awesome if a bunch of us did filming then we could do montage's of our battles and such. I've been in so many great matches while running in SMM that I think seeing the battles through others' eyes would be fun and very helpful for players to learn from.

Side note @Tesunie: We should film when we start CW with TRO and make journal entries and such for the RP Forums. Could be fun! Just a thought...

I am currently incapable (never tried it before) of recording. I'd be afraid I'd be pushing my computer too far playing and recording. So, I'll leave this to people more capable than I.

As for Journal logs in an RP fashion, I'd be all for that. Could be loads of fun!

(AWESOME VIDEOS)

Yes!! Those are great and I would definitely be up to helping getting footage for these types of videos.

That's fine, I can do filming. Journal logs for TRO will be loads of fun to write just to document our CW career, expecially if all of us write them to get the different perspectives and playstyles that we have.

I'm all for writing up logs. Sounds like fun. I'll leave any video work to you then though...

[Rhaythe]

Last one. Sorry it took me so long to get these up.

[InRev]

Once finals are over, you can count on this Stock veteran to be back!

[SilentScreamer]

Awesome videos guys, thanks for sharing!

How was this achieved? Did you guys simply ignore mech-tonnage-skill balancing, or was this a continuation of Tesunie's experimental balancing method, or else?

We did the one-for-one swaps. I think we just lucked out in having mostly balanced games.

My balancing system hasn't really been tested yet. The one time we tried it, people kept coming and going (which is fine), and people kept changing mechs to "balance tonnage". However, the few matches were this didn't happen, it did seem to work. We just need to do 1 switch for every lance in place, even if it's a partial lance. (Example, if there are 5 players on each team, two would still need to be switched.) At least initially until teams seem to balance out.

I still want to give it a try and see if it may work. It needs far more testing before I can determine if tonnage is a key to balanced play, or if skill/familiarity with a specific chassis is more key...
