A drop where NKVA tk'ed each other. I'm not seeing what is out of place. Especially since they are in Dog Tags, I'd tk my team and walk out of bounds too.

meantime lia took the planet (:

I'm happy for them but It was a balanced game. Is v Is.. IS pugs can't compete with clan mechs. When our 12 man was full I dropped in few pugs games only games we won were when we rushed the generators/gun.

It will be interesting to see what lessons PGI will take away from these matches.

Actually we (I was tagging along) ejected 36 mechs and overheated till kaboom.

For science, losing a defense mode ghost drop (the existence of which still baffles me) will actually cause you to lose a wedge on the planet.

Congratulations, Marik. 1 of the only 2 wedges you took in the last 3 hours of NA prime was actually gifted by NKVA eject buttons.

The world appreciates your sacrifices for science.

[Vlad Ward]

For science, I'd be curious to see what would happen if a unit defense mode ghost dropped an entire world to a loss without having a single attacker drop.

Who would get the unit tag? Would there be a unit tag on a world won with 0 victories?

Science demands answers.

Edit: And the fact that it's within the realm of possibility for a faction to intentionally throw away ownership of a planet seems .... unintentional. How easy would it be to grief the hell out of a faction this way?

Don't like Marik? Quick, everyone take Marik contracts and spam ghost drop defense losses. Reduce the purple wave to a single home world without ever fighting anyone.

Maybe this will serve as an impetus to get rid of absolutely worthless defense mode ghost drops.

Can you flip your own worlds to the other team?

This sounds like a legit use for your CW tags.

Make it happen. SCIENCE!

[Vlad Ward]

Give me 35 volunteers and a 7 day contract on a perma-dead faction (Liao?) and I'll get back to you.

[Vlad Ward]

Hm. It may take more than 35. I don't know if the MM would automagically make us counterattack the red wedge before defending a blue one. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't?

95 volunteers would be safer. Then everyone can lose one game and call it a night.

[Joshua McEvedy]

You guys don't seem to understand that by and large, House Marik is no longer playing CW, and most of the old timers (vets of Wazan I and II) have quit the game altogether, probably for good.

And as far as this event goes, there was no warning beforehand for those few of us who are still around, and it happened in the middle of the work week and lasted only a day.

So, yeah, y'all can have those empty pixels. Nobody cares about them anymore.

[MischiefSC]

You get NKVA. I would say offer them chicken tendies and a drink but it's become clear that they'll do just about anything, for anyone, for some cbills and a mech bay or two. *COUGH*

Have you offered to report them on the forums? I hear they really like that.

[Vlad Ward]

Marik doesn't play CW any more?

Gee, maybe that's why PGI invented a lore event to try and bribe people into playing with truckloads of c-bills.

Can you imagine how much money it would cost Comstar to pay 4 million c-bills to every single Marik pilot who dropped on Angel II? That's a lot of c-bills.

And in the case that Marik still didn't win, the event gives both Comstar and the rest of the CW population a chance at some friendly ribbing at Team Purple Parakeet's expense.

You know. The kind of ribbing that really ought to motivate people into caring just a bit.

But nooooo. Here we just have pouty faces and grouchy old birds who want us to get off their lawn but won't actually tell us to get off their lawn because they know they'll lose if they pick a fight over their lawn and that's just sad.

Defend your lawn, Marik. Defend it to the last.

they probably print new one.



and make inflation of money a real thing. On the other side with all the orbital bombardments within the IS, a lot money burnt away anyways.

I joined Marik when my contract for Davion was up. Figured I would do a month to get the 1 mech bay rewards, then this showed up. Now I am starting to regret taking the contract because of a dead house. Wonder what will happen in the next month as I won't break it as to much $$$. Probably creep back to davion or do some research on what house is active. Liao leader is too insane for my tastes and the imposter marik is better than than the true master.

I made tons more dropping on the planet. The only people making out on the 4 mil cbill deal would be the pugs playing 1 winning game then quitting.

Of course its better than nothing but i would like to see cbill per win so people working to get the planet get more of the rewards.

1 month contract people I have a hard time caring about them. We show them how to play with our groups we do training then after everything starts working good they move to another faction.

Our house is not dead by the way. I have atleast 2 12 man worth on my friends list all the time. It's cw that is dead. Come over to the ts if you want to group q
