I just realized that I missed the stream as I'm not available to play weekdays until almost 9 PM. I hope everyone had a great time!

Yeah, it was cool. Half the time I was there Bombadil teased Sean Lang to cosplay Natasha Kerensky if they reach 3k $ Posted Image

EDIT: ...and later switched to Clovis Holstein (had to research him, seems not many people in Poland read Battletech novels)

Awesome event,

My son is high spectrum autistic, its been an interesting ride with him, highly intelligent, although social skills as with most autistic people do not apply, brutally honest and any comment can come out of his mouth. I never taught him that he could not do this or that because he had autism, so he is an avid gamer, has a full time job, drives, and an associates degree in general education. At 26 he is doing well. He will probably never leave home just because he feels this is his place to be.


Glad he made it. I unfortuntately can be only envy of such achievement to get a full time job. To be honest, I wanted to get a job in few places, but after sending my applications, most of employers never gave back the reply, the rest invited me to interviews that is, but only a literal few gave me the straight and honest answer. That they hired someone else. Posted Image

What stream? Never saw any info about the stream. Posted Image

And hey, I'm Polish and I'm currently reading the last novel from M. Stackpole for BT backers (Unlimited Honor), and Clovis was referred in his Warrior Trilogy Posted Image

ScreenShot link. It appeared to be broken when I've written the post.

But yeah, the "SS" also have a (very) negative meaning, but I didn't invented the one used as a Screenshot shortcut.

thank you for the link to the donation page, everybody needs to donate. I was wondering if you could do something were we donate are yellow in game mc back to pgi and they convert it to a donation to Mr. Forst's daughter, I think everyone would give it all back for a good cause, and not have to have a credit card ( young people don't have cards or real $) ? would be a good team/community way to show support?

They mentioned a charity stream on Twitch on the main event page. So glad they are doing charity again!

Ah. Was just unfamiliar with the abbreviation. I thought you meant the image, but when I checked it in several browsers it was fine. Being your post was a "compound" post wasn't 100% sure if it was actually directed at me, or the why, hence my confusion.

Cheers!

@Pgi I think you have an error on website event, having 2 time "mech dad unit level 2" for 500 and 1000 match score.
I think 1k one should have been "level 3".

That does look a tad weird, doesn't it, KhanBhacKeD? Looks like both PGI and myself need to pay better attention to the 'ECH' (Event Challenge Headers) that are posted. Geez... I must be getting pretty worn out to finish an Event, but miss something like that until afterward. I had to backtrack this thread just to come to the realization that I had missed the duplicate titles. :(

Heck, the only way that duplicate 'ECH' could be intentional is if it has something to do with the Theme of this Event, in which case the oddity in the display could be explained. But like you, I think that there was no such thing going on, and that an accidental mistake had been made here. We're all human though, including PGI's Staff, so it's just a matter of a quick fix for a typo, right? :unsure:

You forgot to add "usually with a point that everyone else is needlessly-but-actively ignoring" to that. Your definition should look more like...

...as that tends to end up being my general M.O. here on the MWO Forums. Anywho, giving it a '+Like' for the funny value. :P

I've got Asperger's syndrome, now called something else in the autism spectrum, I thought this event was really cool, so did another friend with asperger's who doesn't play.

I'm happy to throw some money into this cause

Same. I am glad that PGI made an event that I can relate to.
