Hey, Serg. I'll plan to put Saturday, Sept 24th, 17-00 UTC on the calendar. Do you know what TS you will meet on?

Not sure. Old SMM TS is dead right?

And yeah if others ok with this time, we could try. And this int only EU event, its probably ok time for americans too, right?

I have a private TS we can use.
We only have around 30 server slots, but it's there.

Well i send a message to librarian (its a russian clan, who was interested in stock) we will wait for they answer, and then decide.

With Stock options now available... will there be any other events planned on different days than Wednesday? Maybe even a teamspeak where we can do pickup groups?

Most likely the community of players will be too small to have nightly running games so the best bet is to have a meet-up time. Please feel free to organize a night! I'd suggest finding a teamspeak to host it on and get the word out!

[Here comes BarHaid from 3025]

Here's a noob question. I will probably show up a bit late for the Mayhem. Do I just log into the teamspeak and start hollering until someone sends me a match invite? This will be my first foray into random group activity.

Basically... Yes. Maybe with less yelling...

Yea, I'm sure you'll see the gaggle of people. Just hop in the TS room say "Hey, y'all got room?" We'll get you an invite to a lobby in MWO.

Couple bugs on the mech list.

- Firestarters such as FS9-A accidentally labeled as FS9-9A.
- Panther 10K is ERPPC (tech 2) and Panther 9R is PPC (tech 1)

- loyalty mechs missing (CTF-3L, STK-3Fb, BJ-2)

If organisers are interested, I have a tool that can look up player stats. This could aid in building balanced matches without completely relying on just the "swap over the lowest scoring player" method.

Thanks dude. I really appreciate that second set of eyes on that.

You going to make it out tonight? (PS are you on the Isen MRBC team? Good luck in the tournament!)

That is a useful tool. I think the swap-over method is good for balancing over time but it can take a while to get the sides even if they don't start that way. I think your tool could be useful to get the sides even first. Thanks man.

Headed to work, the event will be under way when I am finally free.

See you on the battlefield, MechWarriors!

[Barantor]

Just a confirmation so I'm set for tonight.

Does the toggling on of the "stock mode" put the proper equipment on your mech for you or do you need to have it rigged out as stock already when the mode gets flipped?

I.E can I use a mech that is tech 1 but doesn't have the stock stuff on, will the game mode automatically equip the mech back to stock? or is it just lock out the mechs that don't have stock gear?

It will convert your mech back to stock while in the match... as far as I understand it. You should not have to change your mech at all.

I was hoping to drag a buddy into this match tonight so I could do some filming of a game tonight from an exterior perspective. Does anyone have shadowplay working that is willing to film a match tonight from their perspective and send me the resulting file?

Is that a free program? I've been wanting to record my matches from time to time... (Probably not a good candidate for this though considering I seem to suffer from a variety of issues...)

[Tank]

Just to wish to confirm, event is still at 9:30 PM EST? Planning to drag myself if there is a place.

Shadowplay is a free utility that comes with GeForce-based chipsets. See how to set it up here: (http://www.howtogeek...dia-shadowplay/). It's extremely light on system load during record time as opposed to other utilities like OBS, which has a tendency of crashing my machine. Don't recommend it, though I used it all during the Stock Mech Monday era here.

RAWR! Thanks to everyone who showed up! Premium time was given out, we had around 48 players for several hours, we did some 12IS vs 10 Clans (IS won on HPG, Clan won on Alpine)

Pop kind of fluctuated between 9v9 and 12v12 across two rooms.

Good times. THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!
