Have to look into that. Got bigger issues. Just finally got a job lined up, and now I have to walk away from it too go bury my mother, and figure out arrangements for caring for my brother.

Things got real In pretty rapid succession. I need a working computer to work once I return, but that's suddenly a low priority

Oof. That's heavy-duty stuff. Headed back to Lodi to take care of that?

I hope you and your family are able to navigate everything with minimum hassle so you can grieve, and that the job treats you well even though the timing's bad for a new job.

Real life OP.

Appreciated. I suspect I'll give Ed's idea a try while I am up there, but don't put much faith in the power of my "celebrity".

My brother in law lives out in Lodi, headed out for Easter weekend. Condolences for your mother.

Purportedly, the secret prizes include chocolate mech standing items and MC.

Gonna go find out

I had an idea, so I made a thing:
https://discord.gg/WRZQb3u

That's an invite to a discord server I set up for us. If you use discord, you can drop by. If you don't, you should know that it's not any harder to use than TS3, it just takes getting used to.

I'll set permissions for anyone who shows up. Currently, that link is set to never expire. If folks like it, we can post the invite link in the unit chat/announcements/whatever in the unit tab of the MWO game client so folks can easily access it.

Wanna come by? I've got extra duct tape availabe ...

The Clan secret prize is a chocolate Mad Cat, I saw one in a game earlier. I don't know what mech the IS one is, probably an Urbanmech, since so many people are obsessed with that goofy thing.

It's a Catapult

Still waiting to find out about the rumored MC to go with the chocolate mechs.

Edit: CONFIRMED! 100 MC per Easter Surprise.

If anybody's inrerested, I'm going to be doing "What Mech Wednesday" tonight. I should be on starting between 6 and 7 pm Pacific time, at this lovely Discord server, purpose built for What Mech Challengers:
https://discord.gg/WRZQb3u

That invite should be set to never expire, but weird happens. Even if you can't come by for long, I'd appreciate you dropping by so I can test-fly the thing tweak settings, and hand out admin hats and other assorted permissions as needed (looking at ih8victors and 3xnihilo, Ed too if he's interested).

Folks are also welcome any time to poke around and figure out how to use this discord-thingy and hang out

There's plenty of duct tape, so come on by. We can do a couple themed drops to warm up, then run whatever, however. Want to know more about those themed drops? Come on by tonight

Also, would a coordinator please shoot me a unit invite? My final faction contract times out tomorrow, and I'd like to come home

Should be a breeze for you.

After much negotiation (and a failed assassination attempt) we are now members of the Free Rasalhague Republic mercenary command.

This is still on and running? Well damn. I'll go quiz up then...

Well the worst has happened to me. Victors.

Part of the challenge is making the most of it. I got them for my second round and working with them turned out to be fun, if not necessarily uniformly successful.

Still, they perform pretty well despite their rep, they recently got a structure buff, and the roadmap hints that they may finally be getting some help for that tube count issue.

You don't have to play if you don't want to, but we'll have more fun playing along with you if you do play.

Oh please, back down from a challenge!? I would never! I will accept this Victor, and I will decimate with it! I took the test two more times and got the Banshee and the Centurion, so I'm all set for those.

I'm impressed you'ryou're doing it with the XL engine.

Did the rescale help it that much, that you can avoid getting one of those blocky ST boxes focused?

[MikeTheDestructor]

I come on bended knee to humbly petition my WhatMechBros for a unit invite.

I'd like to return to the unit now that my serial loyalist tour is done and my mechbays are plentiful.

Perty pl0x?

if they focus you you're pretty much dead, but you gotta twist and ust the 70kph speed to get out of there. the +20 structure helps too
