We should try talking to someone in PGI, see if they'll do a 'Ultimate Mech Discussion Thread' Anniversary Cockpit Medallion.
Just a little dangly that everyone who's posted in the thread would receive.

Might be a nice touch.

While it would be cool to get free stuff, there is a lot of people who posted here... Maybe the 20 biggest posters?

If you're going to give it to some, you might as well give it to all.
People on the forum and contrinubte to the thread deserve it really.

If it's just the top X, it'll be what....
You, bishop, cdlord, metus, strum, a few others, but about 98% of people would lose out.
There's only going to be a few hundred people that'd get one anyway, maybe a thousand or so I reckon.
It'd also be easier than figuring out any 'top X' posters.

Yeah, but who will count all the people who posted here? (PGI would need to figure out an automated way)

Question. Is the Kodiak-Heromech "Spirit" a canon Heromech?

It would seem not.
Or, if it is, it is an extremely obscure reference.

However, it should be noted that "spirit bear" is a well-known nickname for the Kermode bear, a subspecies of the black bear native to the central and northern coastal regions of British Columbia (e.g. where PGI is located) that is notable for having white or cream-colored fur.

Oh, I'd hope for the biggest "like"ers too. Because of, um... reasons.

Lurkers are people too!

And that kids, is a wrap!!!!

The paint your Warhammer Forum Contest is over.

Congratulations to White Bear 84 on his new Rifleman pack, and DARLITH on 7 Days of Premium Time (originally won by silija, but passed on to Darlith! Thanks silija!)

Don't forget that the Rifleman drops on the 16th, and that I will be running a similar Contest Thread for it. Top prize will be one's choice of a Archer Basic Pack or a Kodiak Basic Pack (which also will still qualify for early adopters!). Starts immediately after Patchmas pn the 16th, and ends on Tuesday the 23rd, Midnight EST (PST requires me to stay up til 2am, and hopefully that ain't happening!)

Anyone wanting to contribute to the Prize pool always welcome, just PM me, and let's keep things in MWO Shiny!

Not that I own an Warhammer, but I would vote. ;)

Certainly has been a long winding road

I like your idea of the Phoenix II pack, I'd go for that, even though I hardly log in these days, I'd still buy it.
Other wise Mechs I'd spend cash on are getting few and far between, but if its in the TRO 3025 the original not the revised without the unseen, then I'd likely spend on it, so yes the Charger as well.

However you can keep the Hatamoto Chii Posted Image


The Charger might actually be a dangerous mech in MWO, even without its main TT weapon, the charge. Lots of energy hardpoints and a big engine in an assault mech. Depending on hitboxes it could be downright scary.
