I can only hope that they don't make the Urbie tall as a QuickDraw...

If it were just a stout commando, then that would be awesome!!! It'll be my MiniHunchie!

[New Breed]

I'd have to be paid to use that mech

[Wabbit Swaya]

Don't feel bad or odd Thell. I wanted to do it for myself and to spread the Urbie love.

Don't anybody else be getting any funny ideas,.

And to RG Notch, sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities. I used to be like you, so bitter and full of ****, it's a sad lonely existence. Get over yourself.

that's the worry, for sure! It's an Urbiesome!!!! lol..... (if it was a Medium we would indeed be screwed).

Or they could gargoyle it and give it the Huge movement profile.....

Why no IIC though?

we get paid to use every mech...though the rewards may vary greatly..... but I've never lost money in this game....

Hey whatever people are already proving PT Barnum right just buying Urbandreks for themselves, why not go full on and just give them to strangers with sad stories on the internets. This whole process is simply verifying that fools and their money are lucky enough to come together in the first place. I'm just jealous I can't find some nostalgic thing to bilk fans myself or spin a sob story for handouts.

Why so bitter? Mommy didn't love you enough? No breast feeding, bad potty training? No? Just a ****** then. The only sob story here is your crap attitude, everyone else is having a community moment. Try not to wreck it by talking.

Yeah like I need an alt to make fun of people's poor choices. Some folks labor under the delusion that everyone care as much as them about their forum props. I mean I guess when you top 20K posts you are some type of celebrity amongst the hundred or so people who frequent the forums.

must be when you seem to feel the need to try to bring me down. Good news? No one cares.

but please, keep showing how sad and bitter you are.

The rest of us? We'll keep laughing and keep the feel good vibe going.

Bishop, suppose I will have to participate in whatever massive Urbanmech private lobby can be made lol. But negative forum warriors don't bother me but I guess to some it can seem like trying to bait for someone to buy me crap but that is not my intention.

Oh no I can't believe I didn't think about that. You just know they are going to mess the size up.



I'm still undecided on the Urbanmech pack. $40 is the one I want, but I feel like I can't justify it. I really don't care about the cockpit items, titles, horns, and premium time. I just want the special Urb. I'd rather just give them like $5 or so for it.

[MeiSooHaityu]

I did it. I'm now a card carrying member of the Trashcan Society.

No Ragrets! Not even single letter




Seriously though, got to love the Urbie.

eh, best solution? Put the bitter cryhards on ignore (as I just did) and move on.

As I said, who cares what the haters think? Let em gnash their teeth and "win the internet" in their own mind.

Welcome to the Urbie Brotherhood man.

Whaaaaaaaaaat?! I don't even know what to say other then thank you. I feel like I need to repay you somehow, never had someone I don't know buy me something.

Well i was gonna hook him up with a Package this Friday...looks like some other lucky Mechwarrior will get this then!

[KingDavid]

I just purchased the Preorder Urbie Collector Edition, still have to wait till april though. Too bad PGI did not apply the Santa Urbie Camo like in the Xmas Greetings email they sent us.

I hate to break it to you, it's not everyone. It's a small subset of the forums, which is a small subset of the community getting all excited over a silly joke mech that won't see the light of day from most players after it's mastered. Check the threads, its mostly the same folk back slapping over a non event that again won't matter 2 weeks after this silly mech drops. You can crow about it and plan your 12 v 12 urbies all you want and again 2 weeks after those events it'll be sitting in most folks mech bay gathering dust. So find some more beggars to hand out your silly jokes to and enjoy it while it lasts. I'm glad that by May we'll never hear about this **** again.

We will find out one way or the other. If there's enough people opening their wallets to justify the Urbie, then we'll have the Urbie. If there aren't, then everyone who voted with their wallets gets refunded and we can lay it to rest.

How do we lose?

I'm not wedded to the urbie (despite my vote), so the sky won't be falling if the drive fails. If it succeeds? I'll have fun with the mech.

I've had fun with a triple AC2 Cicada. I'll have fun with an Urbie for sure.

LOL again the rest of us? You mean your small subset of the fraction of the playerbase on the forums? You can keep trying to paint me as sad and bitter but you can't bring me down, as your opinion means nothing. As to laughing, you and the fools who've been parted from their money can laugh all you want. The joke is on you, and heading for your mech bays.

It would be divine justice if you die to an Urbanmech. Don't worry DarthRevis, I appreciate that you were going to do it all the same.

[BlakeAteIt]

So, will the collector's pack count as a top-tier package purchase in the case of any future giveaways?

[Wabbit Swaya]

That maybe so, I may be "wasting" my money, I may be a "fool", I've purchased every package offered, with the exception of the founders (got on the scene too late), and have had both fun and sad moments in every mech purchased.
But it will all pale in comparison to when I get to run around screaming "DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER"!!! in my very own spanking new Robbie the Robot look alike.

p.s. We don't need to paint you sad and bitter, you do a fine enough job of it yourself

[BourbonFaucet]

I bought the $40 collector's pack.

Yep, I'm totally a fanboy for the 30% C-Bill bonus on the unique 'mechs.

will keep eyes open for lucky candidates, if you want. And don't forget MoonUnitBeta's giveaway thread! Maybe you can team up with him and add another prize pack!
http://mwomercs.com/...aaaaahhhhhhhhh/

I'm sure MoonUnit would love to see others join in!
(For the record, If I am one of the ones drawn, I'll be looking to gift it to someone.)

Oh what a poor fool MUB must be to do that out of his own pocket.

Guess it must be better to be a happy fool than a miserable "wise man".
