I did show some respect, I bought the Urbs! xD

All I'm sayin is that making it exclusive for no other reason than to be a hipster is ******* shallow, and it sets a potentially dangerous precedent...

Pssstt....it's a joke son, you know, a funny...

I need a Foghorn Leghorn meme right about here....

someone who appears to get the spirit of the thread! Thank you!

Well, I wasn't quite sure if you were serious, to be honest. The majority voted against re-opening Phoenix Pack, and after reading the arguments from the No-voters, nothing would surprise me any more. Much faith in humanity was lost reading those discussions on the forum.

Oh come on, how could you think Bishop, the High Priest of the Church of Urbanology, would want to keep the Light of the Urby from the masses?

[Axeface]

Yes you are Bishop The urbie will be mine one day!

The same reason the Catholic Church kept the Bible in Latin?

Those two things are not analogous, and your logic makes a terrible argument.

You've actually got me chuckling out loud with that one! I was born and raised Catholic, but I got better, so that really is funny

I was raised Southern Baptist, so I couldn't resist.

Yeah but I don't get to hold worldly power and wealth by keeping the Urbie..... I mean I probably SHOULD get a 10% tithe from all Urbie related sales and all, but well... Canadians. Much Greed.

I'll have you know I neither have an ironic moustache, drink bad beer, nor listen to bad indie music. Pistols at 20 paces to any man who claims otherwise!

I get the sentiment
but PGI is a business and this would give a dangerous precedence
the pack might not be interesting to all, especially for that much $ for "top" tier


to be honest I'd already be happy if they would keep the cockpit items exclusive forever, since that are just vanity items to begin with

[masCh]

Solution:

Keep the Urbie MC-only.

But available as Trial mechs, different variants per week.

[Alardus]

Long story short, yes. Capellans need their urbies for playing out the 3000's era when they had a crap ton of them.

[Kristov Kerensky]

Oh man, this is really too damn funny.

First Soy makes his joke thread and people don't get it.

Now Bishop does one and people don't get it.

Common Sense, followed closely be Sense of Humor as so godsbedamned rare as to be Super Powers!

At the very least I feel like I'm owed a Executioner a la carte or something for all my hard work to get this done....gosh!

[masCh]

Urbie, if kept exclusive, could also be awarded as Tournament prizes.. so nobody can ever say P2W.

However on the other hand, if nobody is purchasing the Urbie for cash anymore, it can help generate cash for PGI through the sale of accompanying Mechbays (for MC).

I think I saw some things from you on Twitter not being able to dish out money this time around?

I remember the endless persistence from you for the Urbie

sorry man
I think PGI (or Russ) could have helped out a bit like in the Lolcust giveaway, or CTF one, and the other ones from Scout Derek
