The next Stock Mech campaign starts Tuesday, February 7th, at 9:30 EST on the House Steiner server. I needed to change the SMM night to Tuesday due to my new schedule and I plan on limiting the scenario nights to three weeks out of every month to prevent burnout. The next campaign will be Tech 1 and will center around the historical battle of **********.

How long are these campaigns? How can I get in on SMM?

[Seth]

Each campaign lasts three weeks and starts on the first Tuesday of each month. The Galtor campaign has one more scenario to go before the February campaign ends. You can read this thread for more information. To join, connect to the House Steiner TS3 server and meet up in the Stock Mech Mayhem channel.

I'm looking to do stock mech games in the EU timezone. Most of the stock mech games are always US. A friend and I have been meeting fairly regularly on Saturdays around 10:00 (PST) / 18:00 (GMT) to play from time to time, but there don't seem to be any other players around.

We'd like to get a few games going from time to time. If you're interested, then post here. I'm also posting on Reddit to try to find people, so these are good contact points also as I don't frequent the forums too often.

Sorry to hijack your thread... but as your stockmode games are aimed at us timezoene players, i thought i could help with the euro stock enthusiasts asking for possibilities.
sponge. Currently the bwo resource league is in a 3025 stockmode season.
(With dynamic mech ratings and team battle value limitations). It is of course slightly more competitive orientated than here, but don't let that scare you away. 3025 stock mechs are slow, hot and under armoured/armed . This makes even competitive games slower in comparison. Add to that the bv limits per team and weekly adjusted mech bv (if a good mech is played a lot and games are won with it, then it will be more expensive next week), you will see more variations in setups.
There are no fixed days where you have to play, just organise it either your opponents who you attack or defend against.

Hope this helps with the euro players asking here and keep up the great work spreading the fun for the US players.

I'm fine with competitive games that are tracked as long as all I really have to do is show up and play. I certainly am not up for bookkeeping. So, I'll check it out.

The group I'm sort of forming is EU and US players who are looking for casual, scenario / RPG style thing where we play out one of the campaign books from original game. Something just for fun. The time puts it as morning gaming for US players and evening gaming for EU players. Anyone is welcome, and we'd really like to get something going. So, post here, the reddit thread, and/or add Lead Sponge as a friend.

Stock Mech Games - Saturday, March 4th @ 10:00 PST / 18:00 GMT
It's appreciated if you have Discord. The channel invite will be provided before games start.

I had a great session of stock mech private matches with members of the Deaths' Hand Brigade and a few independent pilots. We had some great 3 v 3 games, as well as a modified conquest scenario that was 3 v 1.

Stock mech games actually make me love the game a bit more. I look forward to doing another Saturday event.

If you're interested, ping Lead Sponge. We'll get you involved.

General Question: If i would like to try to set up something more friendly to the EU times...whats a good timeframe on Sat-Sun?
something like 9:00am- 1:00pm PST? and what is the best advertising media to reach the EU playerbase?

It's been moved to the Steiner hub. ts1.housesteiner.com.

Also, for the next few weeks while seth runs his stuff on Tuesdays, we'll have stock nights at the hub only on Thursday evenings.

Hey Peiper, is the Steiner Hub stock events still only on Thursdays at 8:30pm EST? Just some calendar housekeeping.

Hey dude, I can put an event on the calendar if it has a regular time. So your event is Saturdays at 6:00PM GMT (1:00PM EST)?
Do you have a Teamspeak that you gather on?

Thanks!

There's a few EU groups trying to get started:
Sergey Kosinskiy, Saturdays, 17:00 GMT (not sure if this one is still active) ts.librarians.su
Lead Sponge, Saturdays, 18:00 GMT (active as of 3/4/2017)
Rushin Roulette, EU timezone stock campaign called Innersphere Wars

Would love to either add your event or at least point you to those events so you guys can build it up!

But i would love to join some EU stock matches if they will be available.

It's a little irregular at this time. I'd rather wait to put it on a calendar until we have something consistent. That said, things look promising, but things are just a little busy right now and I haven't had the time to set things up quite yet. We'll be using a Discord server, and I'll get you that link when things are regular. I'd rather not have people showing up in the server and nobody being there.

That said, Saturdays 10 am / 6 pm is when we'll be playing regularly. I'll post here when I know more. At this stage PM me and I'll get you onto a list so I can contact you when we've got this going. I expect really get this going in a couple of weeks.

I'm in the EU and those times work well for me. I tend to play with some friends in the States from California, so I make an effort to doe time frames that allow people a number of time zones to play. If you set something up, please let me know as my ability to organize events is sparse and I could use some help getting something set up regularly. Maybe we could alternate organizing it so there's something more regular.

That's the current schedule. There haven't been enough guys to make it happen, though, the last couple weeks, and frankly I've been forgetting about it myself. I'll be there tonight. If something happens, cool, if not, IDK. Kind of in a malaise about the game lately to be honest.

One guys showed up last week, no one is showing up this week it seems either. Just gonna call it for now. If someone else wants to take over, holler at me. The Steiner Hub (teamspeak) can host it, if there is a person to man the fort. I can set you up.

Otherwise, I'm done with it. I'd take Thursdays off the schedule.

Sorry to hear attendence is dropping off. With the Tukayyid3 event last week and the Skill Tree introduction this week I doubt there will be many pilots showing up for stock play.

I did have a good time playing a few Stock Mayham matches last summer and the original Stock Mech Monday events prior years, but life happens and wife and I have been very busy with a new baby the last eight months.

That said would anybody be willing to start playing Stock on Monday nights again? Nothing as ambitious as the Campaigns; just whoever we can get into a lobby to drop for an hour. Say 5:00pm to 6:00pm PST?

[Kreedo]

Now that Private matches are free for any number of players, are Stock Mechs gonna make a comeback?

I had fun with this, maybe a year ago.

[Saori Arai]

I'm onboard to participate in some stock play. We can enforce stock usage in private lobbies now.

[CancersCincar]

Is there a Discord server for organizing stock mech matches? I primarily use Discord and would find it awfully convenient if there was.

[Here comes BarHaid from 3025]

Hey there, everyone. I've been wanting to get into some group stock action finally, so I'm necro-ing this old sticky. Is there a team speak channel to haunt? None of the old ones seem to be available to me.

[Glaive-]

Are these events going on at all anymore? I've been wanting to give this a shot once I have some free time. I'm sad to see that this thread has become a ghost town of sorts

[Q]

2 attempts to necro in one month? Too little, too late?

I have zero interest in running a campaign but would enjoy some stock drops. Maybe any of those lurking out there with a similar interest could respond? Like the post? Message me?
