OP: Can you 'Paul' the ponies in the next update? This incessant wickering and pawing is killing sanity surer than holidays in a troll's den.

Sincerely

[Silent]

Thanks for putting this together and updating it.

Nice work!

I like the fact that approximately 10% of the games population is a founder. In a year or so the founders mechs will become a pretty huge perk. At launch they will be fairly common sights but just like the preorder tanks inWoT eventually they will become some of the rarest mechs in the game.

They won't be rare at all because they are not exclusive to Founders. ANYONE will be able to get them post release. What will eventually become rare is the Founder skin on Founder Mechs and the boost. People won't actually see your boost but you'll be able to make them jealous when you tell them how much faster it is for you to get unlocks with it.(25% boost means that every 4 matches you were paid for a 5th match for free without playing it. That's going to add up A LOT on a day to day basis. Eventually it will pay for stuff all on its own. For example if it takes 10 games to get an unlock, and you play 40 games, well the boost just got you +10 game's worth of payment, meaning a free unlock)

Heh, the joke yesterday was that I spent $120 on a free to play game that hasn't been released yet.

Oh Mechwarrior....

Isn't the real joke that you're just one of many?!

You're not supposed to beat me to pointing out how the OP has no clue how to use legitimate data, nor how to acquire it.

I have always used the phrase "estimated mercenary faction strength" to reflect that, unless the data has been reported by the unit or I can locate an official roster, inaccuracies will exist. This occurs in all intelligence operations.

Someone from your unit noted they were missing, so I used available avenues to fix the oversight.

Yay! We're on a list!

Thanks for including us.

Yes thanks for all the info- I was wondering about some of those statistics but lack the drive or mining skills to attain them. It's funny to see though when someone posts over the 1000 mark for a non active game yet, I kinda have to laugh at how much free time they must have to do nothing but refresh the forums all day between bouts of masturbation. It's a shame your statistics can't decipher the difference between "on topic and constructive" and "1sts!, LOLz, Hi!'s, just quoting someone else, 1-5 word irrelevant responses, and countless other ways to neurotically give yourself 2000 posts without ever actually contributing useful exchange. It's never really possible to know what percentage is just pork fat.

Your estimations are complete nonsense, it's like you can't even open a simple website. Oh wait, you apparently can't. Plus you have blatant inaccuracies where you're counted as a member for even creating an account on the forums as with some other organizations.

The entire "I'm not telling you how I got this!" nonsense only makes you look like an even less reputable source then 'random internet d00d' already does.

Having both the time and stamina to ********** all day is nothing to laugh at. Soon you'll wish you could do that.

EDIT: Funny, verb is censored, but the act is not.

@Spork
You're missing the point completely. The most important information was and still is Founder's packages. The rest is just noise in comparison. So if you want to criticize OP's work based on you being a drama queen and want all your hooves counted accurately ... guess what? Nobody cares what you want. Alright? Now be a good princess and play hide in the bushes

No, you're missing the point; the OP claims to have all of this priceless data, we can't see, which accurately reflects the gaming environment as is, when it's really worth less then the sweat of your back. I don't care who has entirely too much disposable income, nor do I particularly care that we were miscounted. Rather, I'd like to have the OP admit his data gathering is subpar at best and cease attempts to claim otherwise and mislead others or I can continue pointing such out.

Spork, can you do better? If not, shut your pie hole, child.

I accept estimations as just that - estimations. If you have better info, please share it. I like that Hawkeye has gone out of his way to say these numbers are based on the best information he has access to. If not "true", they have at least some measure of "truthiness"

I wasn't aware we were so ignorant as for it to be necessary to provide a functional solution in the face of obvious ineptitude.

An estimation that is wrong by 100% of the actual value isn't a very meaningful estimate. Also, enough of the truthiness nonsense before it gets started. It's useful in a comedic aspect, but embracing it as a justification for blatantly false information is part of the problem it was created to stand in opposition too. All I'm saying is if he can't open a SINGLE webpage, he's not putting any effort into acquiring those numbers.

And, that's The Word.

I did mean the skin rather than the mech... I realize that they are the prime variants and as such anyone can get the "mech" but the skins themselves will be super rare the longer the game is live. That to me is a huge perk plus the extra credits.

Thanks for including us

The KWSN currently have 5 members on the forums, but I know of at least 20 waiting for the game.

We are the Knights Who Say Ni amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to Comstar & nice black mechs

FYI the KWSN are a Merc Unit composed of Lone Wolves that want the benefit of being a Merc Unit.. without being a Merc Unit with all that silly organization, hierarchy and drama... That said we will have a Team Speak server, and a fancy banner ( message me to join )

Real difference between us and other units is there is no hierarchy as we are an Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune

The following are our By Laws..



Our units include


The Lumberjacks - (Heavy Support Unit)

Edited by Chuckie, 14 July 2012 - 06:09 AM.

[Chuckie]

Along with


The Black Knights (The Assault Unit)



and of course our scouting unit.. because no one expects "The Spanish Inquisition"
