Excellent games again tonight, guys! 4vs4 may be an option as well! No need to always get in full 12 mans

Nice dude. Dedication!

Are we going to advertise Wednesday's SMM more than an hour ahead of time this week? ;D

I've invited some friends, and we're looking forward to it!

I don't like your tone. BANT! XD

Yea, I think we'll try to get something up today. Was thinking of posting /r/mwo one week, /r/outreachhpg the other.

I tried crazy hard to get a response from PGI on Twitter for event #1 but no dice...

[Hoffenstein]

Heck, I'm still pumped for this Wednesday. Going to try and get a bunch of Skye Rangers to come on in. Fingers Crossed!

Hey all, have a good time tonight! I'm going to have to miss tonight to catch up on some school stuff.

[Abigail Acerose]

Aww. Well, good luck with school stuff!

We had a fun time at Euro-Mayhem on Saturday balancing teams by BV, and with more feedback I think Igor's spreadsheet could be at least as effective as using tonnage.

One issue is that T2 IS heavies/assaults rarely hold a candle to heavier Clan mechs, so as tonnage goes up for both sides, clans gain an advantage and IS has issues filling out their tonnage/BV. On the flip side, having tonnage/BV too low means too many clan light mechs, which are mostly inflated-BV trash.

I think the optimal balance we are looking for is where there are a mostly clan medium and lights, but still a couple heavies, and an assault. Then you would want the IS side to have more players (10 v 12 perhaps), so clan side has more individual tonnage/bv, and IS can take a more varied deck and compensate with pilot count, since heavier IS tonnage does not necessarily equal a more effective IS deck like it does with clans.

Great turnout again this week, 40+ people split between two lobbies. Thanks for coming everyone and I hope to see you next week!

I had a lot of fun last night, although I was ill prepared (inventory-wise) for the of Tier2/Clan action. I appreciate the moderators putting the technology level up to a vote allowing the 3025 purist to get in a few extra games.

That being said, while I am not apposed to asymmetric battles it is going to require a lot of consideration to keep those fun and balanced, especially when team counts are relatively even and some players are prepared for stock 3025.

But again, great job on hosting another fun event.
Thanks,
A0F

YUP!

Great games tonight guys. I was only able to play a handful but they were all crazy good! Nice work Ultra on quickly shuffling the v teams each game, getting the tonnage limit entered and games going fast! Pro.
