Comstar NA has put up House and Clan channel just below the Dropship channels so I'm guessing those can be used for coordination moving forward.

Now if people on other TS3 servers would leave their clones there, we might be able to get something going with that.

Meanwhile, I am on enforced absence from MWO due to inability to drop into game. Don't know when it will clear up but it is almost 4 weeks now ... this keeps up, I'll may be see you guys in-game next year or after the Lunar New Year

CNCI Will be on in force tonight - if anyone is up for coordinate an attack/defense against us let us know.

i can only defend against you

Ok.
Have a conversation with King Arthur last night on TS. So bouncing some ideas around for CW.
Note that this is going to be after PGI implements the multiple units so long as in the same faction can drop together option.

So.. getting to it:

1. Sample question here on how many clan units we have within the region beyond CNCI.
2. I want to know if other units are willing to adopt a more merc stance and be willing to change factions every 2-3 weeks?

Basic gist is:
1. If we have enough Clan units within our Time zone, we lock in a day every week (pick 1) for Clan Vs IS Community Warfare for units within the region/time zone.
2. Smaller IS units can basically choose 1 faction eg. Steiner for a similar duration to allow them to group up and drop together against Clan units.

Simple idea, just requires some co-ordination among the different group leaders but the basic intent is there.

Poke holes yes?

[Angry Kylo Ren]

Honestly, don't have many clan units in our TZ. I've mostly been playing regular pug/groups lately.

Also because the CW games in our timezone don't have a chance to effect the control of a planet so it's sort of pointless.

[King Arthur IV]

they are talking about reducing the attack/defend phase. most likely nothing will happen till after newyears.

Yeah, I think one of the ideas they are kicking around is "time controlled" so that groups can't just pound it out at ceasefire time and render the day pointless. That would be a great addition in my opinion, since there seem to be pockets of activity and pockets of dead spaced throughout the day.

A bunch of my guys play pretty late into the night (2-3 am EST isn't uncommon), as we try to cover multiple time zones to keep pressure while avoiding burnout, but in the late morning, early afternoon it is pretty dead, with only brief pockets of action.

If it was "Time of possession at a capture level" or some such thing, I'd be dropping in for a pug drop every time I had a free 20 minutes.

Last night for me to play before going for some R&R... any chance we can get some good drops in... whether CW or private?

And now that I've gone slightly blind after looking at that Video...
Russ has said that OCEANIC will have their own Battle Window for CW and we will be able to drop as Factions instead of just units.
See link

This gives us a chance to go get organized again for CW.
256th will be running Steiner from the 20th for about a week first to see what we can get figured out.

I would like to see if TWOF and Clan Wolf Oceanic will stay Clan Wolf and would be able to act as OpFor.

256th plus whichever other Steiner units are keen can get together and we can try running our own CW drops against Clan Wolf.

Basically: Steiner Vs Clan Wolf from the 20th.
I would like to run it Friday/Saturday Nights from about 2100 hours GMT +8 Time.

Shout out if you all are keen.

[Angry Kylo Ren]

Had a chat with Marthe from TWOF - he said they will likely stay Wolf.

Keen as mr bear

Wolf and Stein are my two preferred factions.

Let me know what I can do to help.

[mr bear]

F8L and 256th Bear Cav will be the Purple Chicken Hawks aka House Marik for the 20th Patch (Faction Update)
Any other units keen on doing some small unit level co-ordination/co-operation can wear Purple for a week maybe?
Let's see how well the idea works.

[Davers]

Don't forget you can all sign up and use the Marik TS. Details on house-marik.com

[King Arthur IV]

what time is best for CW in our time zones during our evenings?

i havent been back to play in a few weeks, hope something has changed.

We should be able to scrounge up enough for 12 man between us... so 21st our time... say 8:30 pm we start hitting davion worlds

[mp00]

From reading this it will change by contracts taken and where everyone is so best thing for those mercs is to find the main TeamSpeaks used by each faction or clan and coordinate there. For House Marik sign up at www.house-marik.com and hop on by anytime and stick around feel free to ask questions ... we also give out samples of RoadBeers space bacon hourly

[mr bear]

I want to thank the guys from F8L for last night's CW games. It was nice to get a mix 12 man group going playing CW.
Nice to be able to play a CW game with friends (as intended) with mechs that I like (as I wanted) and still have a good time. Granted that the last game had me half asleep at the stick. It was good fun.

Same time next week?

Any other small units keen on Oceanic action, please do look for us on the Comstar TS. At the moment F8L and 256th will be going Marik for another week or so.

Done and done Mr Bear. O7 When 256th and F8L combine..... we are.... Capatin Planet, er I mean THE 264FL.

I hope you liked the F8L style of punch in the face, then take the objective rather then do the oh so tired 3 x light wave zerg rush.
