Tired of PUG-ing? Wish you could drop with a coordinated unit? Do you yearn for a drop caller and coordinated teammates? Ever got your butt stomped by a full unit drop (especially made of crabs) and really wanna get a piece of that action? Well, if so, we have the answer to your wishes:

MercStar (not in conjunction with PGI) presents our first-ever holiday festivities event: CRABMAS!

For one day only (December 24th, 2017), we are leaving an open invitation to any, and every, body who would like to have a few chuckles and goof around in MWO. Love us, hate us or just curious, we're extending the olive branch to everyone who wants to see what MS is really like in drops - fun, and coordinated!

If you wish to join us, PLEASE have a working headset and microphone setup! If you need help with setting them up, ask someone and we'll try to help you. Posted Image

We communicate using the Comstar Teamspeak server (must download Teamspeak 3 to use). The address is:

na1.mech-connect.net

There is no password to join the Comstar server or any of the event channels.

Once connected, click your "6" button on the keyboard to be instantly transported to our Teamspeak channels. Alternately, you can scroll about 2/3 the way down the list and find us. Once there, join one of the dropship groups "Crab Group 1 / 2 / 3 (etc...)" under the "Quick Play (Christmas Eve Crabs)" if there is a spot. If not, just wait in the "Quick Play (Christmas Eve Crabs)" lobby until a spot opens or another drop ship is formed. If you're not sure, hop into a less-than-12-man group and ask if a spot is open, and please drop back to the waiting area if not - we will hop into the lobby to ask for the next in line to join us in a designated dropship. We want everyone to drop with us and have a fun time!

I sense a great disturbance in the Force...

...coming this Christmas EVE...

It will shake the ground with its march...

It will harvest salt like no other reckoning which has come before...

It will give unto everyone the greatest gift that which could possibly be given...

But then again...it is just a rumor...

I must investigate...this rumor...with the proper scouting gear...

We have brought such joy and cheer to all! I'd like to share with you some festive comments left for us by our lovely fellow Mechwarriors!

We are having alot of fun, we are making our match scores, we are enjoying ourselves, people are coming together and playing together as a team, and being festive for the Christmas weekend - in short, doing what Mechwarrior is all about!

If you want to be part of the action, come join the COMSTAR Teamspeak at na1.mech-connect.net and see what the MercStar Alliance "Crabfest/Crabmas" is all about!

Until then, have a peek at what all of MercStar's fans of Crabmas are saying!

You'd have to be familiar with the latest anime meme's, specifically relating to the "Fate" series, in order to understand the particular context with the gif...

Generally, in Japanese, "umu" is the equivalent of an informal confirmation, kind of like nodding your head and saying "Yup".
