Civility on the forums??? PGI give Fenisulvyn and Hagen von Tronje a bonus 20 scratch offs!

Joking aside, this might be a nice discretionary award system should PGI ever decide to make one. Someone writes an excellent mech guide for the forum, keeps it up to date? PGI thanks them with 20 mystery prizes chances. Lauded by your peers for your reasonableness and good humour? here, have a handful of prize chances etc etc

A really nice solution IMO because the "reward" has no defined value -- you might get 500 MC, you might get 195k cbills and a handful of single heatsinks.

Yeah, but it needs to cut both ways...

Smack down a noob who asked a simple question? Minus 1M CBills.

Write a thread about how LRMs are highly-skilled weapon systems that need a buff? Lose all your Mechs.

On the main page showing the "Blood Money" event...does anyone else think the mech shown looks like a psychotic version of Bender from Futurama?

[Zolaz]

Why is there no counter for the number of qualifying matches and c-bills earned on the event page?

There is. It uses the Mk I Eyeball Sensors and Internal Calculator. Alas, copypasta from the Tournament page to Excel is the fastest way I've found to count things. Delete rows that have 0s in them (depending on skill level, this could be many or few), look at the line number of the bottom one.

Just curious if PGI is trying to totally destroy CW or what???????????? I play it most of the time but with all these contest it keeps others from playing. I guess if you cant figure something out you create something that will distract others from it so you can say "Well no one plays CW anymore so no reason to continue geeez.

I'm afraid it might be an ingame model of the Black Knight...

And it looks utterly shite.

Nio problem, if people who dont pay leave. Its the people who pay money who count.

That said getting MC in an event for having a certain $ mech is not fair imho

Dont know about other browsers but in Firefox you can right click and 'View Page Source'
once open hit ctrl+f and type in 250k and you will have a matching count, just remember you get 2x 250 for Resistance

[Soulstrom]

Mine also grayed out. I am running into the same problem.

[Azarvakhsh]

Something is messed up. You can click on redeem and it will hang thats fine. Back out of the page and back in. You can highlight last area to see what you go. Kinda slow process but it works.

[MFZ]

No problem here/now. All redeems fine and instantly.

[Stitchedup]

yep seams fixed

Thanks!
Please add a counter when running similar events in the future. There is a lot of confusion regarding how many matches that qualify etc.
