Bah. Alcoholics Anonymous is just a big cult. Screw'em.

I don't include American beer as an alcoholic beverage. No one drinks it outside the USA.

[Idealsuspect]

Why talk only about americains ?
There is Alcoholics Anonymous in france too and i guess in many others countries.

And about beer for this event did you notice the altas colors in the event picture are the german flag colors?

No reason to think anyone drinks it outside of China to be honest

And I don't know how you've gotten to US beer
With German flag Atlas, name from Oktoberfest and that AA is hardly a US only thing

But on the beer side of things, it's certainly nothing to write home about

I don't have a problem...



More i say!

You mean it's not for fall fairs? this time of year they are everywhere near me.. Lasts about 6 weeks, a fair every weekend,, and many some last all week, or even weeks.. http://www.thebige.com/


I love this event for the most part, as it is fun for casual players, and pretty easy to get your point, and gives you a reason to play every day, BUT the rewards are not that great, so if you miss something, it is not the end of the world.

I will note, that on my more DPS clan mechs, i am having a much harder time.. my hard hitting IS mechs, the event is cake. .. I just wish people would stop picking DOM, especially when they have zero clue how to play it. Even skirmish is better. (never thought i would say i actually look forward to skirmish)

I have been to Oktoberfest sober, it is only about beer in the way MWO is about Battletech.

If they were advertising for the beer industry, they've have gotten Molson's to sponsor the world championships.

I see that you are grossly ignorant of American craft beer:

You're talking about the company where the president had a drunken Town hall meeting where he was increasingly incoherent and constantly demanded that his interviewers should drink more.

I just hope he's not drunk for his Mech con presentation.

[627]

I don't see a single beer ad in this event. I see a mech holding some cockpit items full of some foamy stuff, could be anything from future space beer to very old lemonade.

But this is 2016 and you have to be offended by anything these days so I say you shouldn't talk that disrespectful of the roman legions and their cervisia.

That was the best town hall ever.

[Herr Vorragend]

The american state department published a warning for american visitors of the Oktoberfest. The seventh of the fifteen warning says:

Oktoberfest beer is stronger than you think! And especially plentyful when you drink it from a "Maß" (the liter glass). One traditional Maß of Oktoberfest beer has the same alcohol content as four 12-ounce American beers.

But on the beer side of things, it's certainly nothing to write home about

1. Oktoberfest is in September
2. Oktoberfest is from bavarian, its not a german thing
3. They should use the bavarian colours, not the german ones, not every german is a bavarian!!!
4. Bavarian is a little strange, they wear strange clothes, use strange language and do strange things and kneel down every sunday. Most people in germany dont understand or like the bavarians, they are a little like the american rednecks.
5. If you call it beer even if there is more then water, hop, yeast and malt in it, you should be nailed to a barrel.

Kids playing is fine, the event has nothing to do with drinking anyways. "Octoberfest" inspired headline image is the beginning and end of that.

As to "too long": most events are really short. I for one am glad that the occasional one is longer. If you don't enjoy that, that's fine - just consider that the really short ones exclude a LOT of people. It's good to have a wide range of event types.
