I will happily call for a 1v1 duel if I'm the last mech standing, or if there's one remaining mech on the enemy team.

Sometimes, it get's honored, sometimes my remaining teammates decide to be {Richard Cameron}.

It happens, I'm always impressed when a pilot answers the call, even if it's to end up running to his death because my team are a bunch of honorless dogs, it still impresses me when they actually answer the call.

I've had some amazing moments however, mostly on Terra Therma, in the center citidel, with a banged up assault mech slugging it out with a relatively fresh heavy. There's nothing quite like the thrill of combat like that.

As a clanner, they all deserve to have there gene's removed from the system.

To accept a challenge and then do dis honour a mark on there souls.

If they had no intention of allowing the dual, then they should have rejected it and just killed you, but to go through the act and then all fire is something they should been named and shamed for.

WTF is Zellbrigen
Where is it in the rule set on the MWOs web site, and is it part of the TOS
Does it live at the North Pole with Santa

If you must swing that way go find a closet with a table top and shut the door behind you. I am tired of your kind forcing your views on normal PVP gamers.

You mean we have to see them run around without any trousers on? Have you seen some of the neckbeards that play Mech Warrior? Please for the love of Kampinski and the united clams let them keep them on!

Isn't hiding in a room with the door shut more akin to 'competitive' (cough cough PvPers) gamers than chilling with a few friends with a board game? :lol:

I'll sum this up quickly:

Noone takes zellbrigen seriously.

If they following it, great.

If they don't follow it (which is the norm), it's an exercise in futility.

Roleplaying only works when everyone cooperates... and 99 of 100 times, noone will agree to your desire/demand for zell.

I've seen it happen a few times, the last survivor calls zellbrigen and manages to take down a few of the enemy team, but it's pretty rare.

There's zero lore in this game. A lot of players have no idea what the Clans are supposed to be or why they're fighting, much less what kind of rituals and ethos they have on the battlefield.

Zellbrigen does happen once in a blue moon in CW, but almost only between 12-man teams. As soon as there's a pugger on the team, you can bet your ass he doesn't know or care about zellbrigen.

Hence the fear of Steam is justified.

Well,a brazilian Clan Ghost Bear (name not important) was winning. I had 2 mechs left and was last, I demanded Zellbrigen

They accepted and didn't attack me and escortet me to the place for the Zellbrigen. (I challanged only 1 btw)

I was there surrounded by 12 claners, and happy that finally one accepted the Zellbrigen and didn't attack me.

Well everything changed when suddenly all 12 shot me. Shame on this clan and all theyr relatives, that broke the rules and put the pride of the Clans in a garbage bin.

Never gonna trust a (brazilian) Clan ever again.

And btw PGI do something against Artifial Aiming already ;-), getting bored about getting headshotet with smal lasers in full movement of both mechs...

I'm here in the game since the beginning, and I know almost all Brazilian players (for the mater, I know also almost all Portuguese players too). There is one big unit of Brazilian players: the INEX (with about 60 members, usually working for Steiner), and a Clan spin-off, the INXS (with just a handful of players). Most members are listed here. We are not harsh to accept new players, but we do enforce some code of conduct. Can you show me in PM a screenshot of those guys' names?

I know there are games were the "Brazilian scourge" plagues, but MWO is not one of them.

Now, about Zellbrigen, don't expect it in this game, not even in Clan vs. Clan battles, only in private matches. Clan mechs/weapons in MWO are not made for honest brawling, but for skirmishing, a dishonorable way of fighting. The game itself reward a player for playing against Zell. And in the end, most players have no idea of what Zellbrigen is.

As well the ritual of zellbrigen was to be dispensed with when dealing with any Inner Sphere military unit, not just dezgra mercenaries, unless they were willing to accept it.


http://www.sarna.net...Clan_Ghost_Bear

my point is, ghost bears by lore don't follow zellbrigen when dealing with inner sphere. and because you demanded it doesn't mean they have to accept it either.

on the other hand however it would have made a cool video if they accepted :P

lol what made you think you could trust clanners anyway? :ph34r:

They are playing an honor bound people... Now You challenged them they didn't challenge you. So IF this were the Jags, Wolf(they were sneaky) or Falcons(though they were staunch traditionalists)... But Bears??? :huh:

Funny I don't remember reading the Bears being like that Kodiak.

You lost me there, pal.

I know what is getting pissed with some a**holes in this game. Sometimes people consider me an a**hole too, I guess. But man... If you're making an accusation of someone screwing up with the game we love (and hate at the same time) you gotta point out who is being accused.

But no, you just decided that is fine to blame all the brazilian players instead. SRSLY?


Guess that's because the name & shame rules on the CoC.

It's not his fault if a bunch of trolls are faking to be brazilians. If OP didn't post this, we would never know , so i'm glad for it. Thanks OP.

Now explain yourselves, NKVA.

JFP often offers Zellbrigen, and as far as I can remember, they have never broken it.

When i played against them, and challenged them to zellbrigen, they honoured the call from beginning to the last.

They said they were from BR, if it was true IDNK.

Anyway if a clan accepts a Zell and even escorts a player to the duel zone, makes a big circle, like you do in a Zell, I can expect they know what a Zell is, also most were founders so they had BT experience. It is just sad that MWO loses alot of RP this way. And that is what BT was fun for.


How do you know they didn't roleplay clan arrogance and superiority, making a cruel joke with the silly freebirth scum who thinks he is worthy of zellbrigen?

Roleplaying doesn't necessarily mean being honourable, you can roleplay a backstabbing ******* just as well as a white knight you know.
