ohh lordy lord dont remind me of the ones that want the repair rearm back to "fix" the meta

Yeah lets all be in half broken mechs with twice the ammo just to get the free half filled ammo. . Ohh and the meta was drive a broken wang and contribute 2 medium lasers just to get the 30% bonus. Those were the days (they werent)

If this is really Mech Pokemon Online then how does a Baby Seal evolve into a Potato? Seems like a sizeable downgrade to me. I read the "Art of the Deal" and I am pretty sure that is a bad deal.

Then there's the presumptuous guy who tries to label everyone else because they don't live up to his exact standards.

Just got out of a match with a 4xSRM6 + AC20 KGC that went to cap on conquest AFTER multiple people had been organizing us all into the middle. He didn't have coms off so unless he wasn't wearing his headphones or just had his sound turned off, he was just straight up ignoring us (or didn't speak English on the North American server).

It came down to two on one and he lost bigly. If we had just had his armor for a fraction of a second to distract them off our main guys we would have won.

"The jackal" the person who loves to play lights and mediums and absolutely revels in moving behind enemy lines and harassing, dividing and conquering the enemy team. These are the opposite of the suicide lights and the mortal enemies of the whales.

"The whales" Any assault pilot that believes just because they are piloting a huge, heavily armored, 100 ton war machine they should be absolutely impervious to all assailants. They usually die miles from their team being circled to death by a locust. They usually turn into a salty puglord after that. They are the assault only pilots who scream to their grave that all light mechs must be nerfed into oblivion. They named the locust "godeater" and it is their version of satan.

"The loner" the person with voip off, in no unit or faction who is actually quite decent at the game, with good sitautional awareness and in spite of cutting off most social ties still has the willingness to lend a hand to an ally in need or work a front with the team but much prefers to go slinking off alone to probe the enemy for weaknesses. Their efforts arent always successful but when they are they can turn the tide of the battle. These are the little known warriors who crunch through a weak spot in the enemy line or cut them down from behind. They arent afraid of facing the enemy alone or leading a push. They are often found alive at the end of a winning match with most of their mech in flaming pieces strewn about the battlefield with a few kills and assists and respectable (sometimes awesome) damage. On a losing match they are often wishing their team held together just a bit longer so they could have pulled off their maneuver.

"The Conquestophile" This person only wants to play conquest. The thought of spread out objectives and heaps of money and xp are just too alluring for this player to resist. They simply cannot understand why someone would vote skirmish over conquest and imagine these people must enjoy throwing piles of money into bonfires just for fun. These people enjoy structure and find having an objective besides "kill mechs" to be immensely enjoyable. They are the ones who pull clutch wins in conquest when they are 1v5 by outcapping the enemy team in their light or medium mech.

"Way too bored to play meta" These people find the meta so mind numbingly boring that they contemplate watching paint dry instead. They spend more time messing around with entertaining builds than grinding to master their mechs. Often they are plagued with a ridiculously short attention span and have dozens of mechs in various states of disarray. They often fall under cheapskates as well because modules are nowhere near as important as new toys. They are the ones who when you are spectating them you cant help but grin and scratch your head and go "huh" but every now and then one of these people can wow you with a build you might never have considered.

"The flaming cheetah" The arctic cheetah that rounds a corner only to get smacked in the face with a bajillion srms and sprayed down with flamer fire and heat capped and suddenly realized his error and does a little midair seizure of utter horror and tries to fly away only to be alphaed mid air into exploding flaming cheetah fireworks. I actually did this in a whammy one time and it was the most hilarious thing ever and had to include it just cuz. It one of those beautiful weird build moments.

A bunch if these are personal to me. Im a loner, jackal whose prolly a little bit above average who has her fail moments but every now and then has moments of brilliance. Hunting whales is my favorite past time and meta bores the soul out of me. Oh it works no doubt but it takes all the fun out. I am an avid conquestophile too, seems like it is the only mode where the outcome doesnt always hinge on which side kills the most mechs. The 300-500k you often get in a good win makes me smile too.

Not even a mention to the guy that needs to test fire his weapons into a teammate for every map in a new mech?

Rambo: Who needs a team when you are the team. Goes off alone to flank the enemy and nine out of ten times he dies horribly.

Skips Leg Day: Shaves his legs down to nothing to fit more of everything.

Internet Badass: Will shoot you if you bump into him or graze him with a laser, wont back down and is deadly serious about @#$%ing you up in real life.


Just had a match where I misclicked and grazed a guy with a laser for a fraction of a second, he went ape **** on coms and alpha'd my center then spent the entire match trying to goad me into fighting him.


I'm sure these are terrible and I'm just not very funny but I thought I'd try.

That would be the mud... let's just call him Mr. "During the month of december". Best known for his "despised by the despicable" catchphrase, which is often his last resort after getting rekt every time he tries to discuss his tinfoil theories on the forums.
