But what if then they drop a Clan mech and an IS one to end up being that one and another clan one already mentioned?

More prizes?

[Jay Leon Hart]

Here's to a little more joy in the forums! Isn't the Arctic Wolf just spiffy looking? If the pre-order bonuses were still available, I'd buy them all. As is stands, guess I'll wait for the C-Bill release.

So come on! Guess the next Clan Medium

I have changed my vote to Shadow Hawk IIC.

Going to have to go with Black Lanner. I would think a IIC mech, but out of the IIC options they're either mechs without their IS counterpart in-game, or they are hesitant to add due to the current legislation from HG.

So yeah, I think it'll be the Black Laner.

He rolls a dice and one person out of the pool of 'winners' get it.

Which is why its so weird people keep saying Black Laner. The odds of winning, even if right, are getting stupid.

Six 'Auto-Win' options left.

Pinion
Ursus
Clint IIC
Corvis
Mercury II
Stag

Is the correct answer... who cares its not a heavy or assault?

[Jay Leon Hart]

Tired of waiting for the delayed patch?

Pick a Medium, (maybe) win a prize!

[Jay Leon Hart]

Just over a week until the closing date!

Use Bombast's handy-dandy cheat sheet if you're not sure which 'mech to choose!

Good luck!

I'm going to absolutely lose it if its one of the not-taken mechs and you don't have to pay. Just go completely off the rails.

Come on, guys, there's still a 27% chance that Jay Leon Hart can squeeze out of this without paying! I don't know about you, but I find that unacceptable! We need more entries!

I went through and verified everyones vote again. Accurate, except for JackalBeast - I'm actually not sure what he voted for in all that mess. I think the Great Wyrm? Anyway...

.

He's still got six Get Out of Paying Cards left! Perhaps we just need to do some introductions to get some new votes in here!

Pinion
This battlemech is actually of Inner Sphere origin, being designed and developed in the Jade Falcon's invasion corridor in 3065. Weighting in at 45 tons with all energy loadouts and capable of running 86km/h, the Pinion operates in the normal 'Medium mech' space, rather than working as a super-light like many 45 tonners. Used as a test bed for heavy lasers, and jump capable.

Spoiler

Ursus
The Ursus was the first Clan battlemech produced in the Inner Sphere. It uses Inner Sphere technology when possible - Namely the Standard Engine and Structure, items that are shared without distinction between the two tech bases. It's standard configuration boasts multiple laser and missile systems, with an ECM and significant armor protection to allow it to weather enemy return fire. The Ursus is fairly slow for it's tonnage, being propelled at 65km/h by a 200 rated engine, but it has a plethora of weapons to compensate.

Spoiler

Clint IIC
A clan redesign of the original Clint, the Clint IIC remains remarkably faithful to the original. Weighting in at 40 tons, capable of running 97km/h and jumping, with a virtually identical (Though more advanced) weapon profile, the two mechs are virtual indistinguishable - The difference only becomes apparent with time, as the Clint IIC's superior armor protection and more potent autocannon allow it to operate for longer in the field. The standard Clint IIC carries a single autocannon backed up with lasers, though all energy variants exist. It is one of the few remaining Clan mechs that use single heat sinks.

Spoiler

Corvis
An obsolete battlemech from the early days of clan technology, the Corvis is rarely seen outside of Hell's Horses units. The mech is a precursor to both the Stormcrow, it's direct decedent, and omnimechs in general, as it shares the same modular weapon system the Mercury, mother of all omnimechs, uses. The Corvis is jump capable, but consider slow for its tonnage (40 tons) as it can only run 65km/h. The Corvis uses a mixture of ballistic and energy based weaponry and has excellent armor coverage for its tonnage.

Spoiler

Mercury II
Designed in 2823, this direct upgrade of the Mercury actually uses Star League technology rather than clan tech. Weighting 40 tons, the Mercury II moves an impressive 119km/h and is jump capable, making it a very mobile chassis. An all energy loadout allows it to operate without ammo concerns, and a full electronics package, including both BAP and ECM, allow it to scout as effectively as a light mech.

Spoiler

Stag (No Longer AutoWin)
Like the Mercury II, the Stag was released in 2823, and uses Star League technology rather than Clan tech. A 45 ton redesign of the Vulcan, the Stag trades infantry stopping power with pure mech killer weaponry. A mix of lasers and missiles give the Stag a heavy punch, while it's 270XL engine allows it to run at a brisk 97km/h, boosted to 130km/h with its MASC.

I'd take a 4% chance of winning when it's inevitably the Black Lanner over a 0% chance of winning because it's not going to be the Clint IIC.

As a matter of fact, yes that is the correct answer.

Well maybe you should be giving out two mechpacks in this thread.

If you say so. I guess you just don't have that 'gambling gene.' And I suppose I'm kind of just trying to improve the odds thats Jay pays.

And you never know! Granted, theres very little chance that the Stag or Mercury II will be chosen (They'd break the strong divide between Clan and IS mechs), but that doesn't mean PGIs going to default to the 'fan favorite.'

I'd say the chance of one of the 6 unguessed 'mechs being picked is basically nil. He's pretty much paying.

That said, thinking about it, the Conjurer probably deserves more than 2 votes. Enough for me to swap? No, I'm lazy, and I'll mildly regret it should the Lanner win... but it's surely more likely to show up than the Mongrel which has 6 votes somehow.
