No just 8 Solo kills over the course of the Event. I'm not evil :)

Nutty & Matt, I would welcome a TAG-based Challenge. Something like managing to accumulate having the TAG on-target at least 5 times when Missiles hit. (This may be particularly due to my feeling of being undead that I'm having right now, what with being trapped inside like as if in a locked tin can.) :D

And then like Gakusei (whose post gets a '+1' from me), along with the both of you, gives me thought for...

...it could have something like the color of "Evergreen" as a reward. For I'm sure that after one sees plenty of Red, they would then want to see plenty of Green to complement it. (Perhaps I'm cracking some kind of joke there... I don't really know.) B)

A sentiment that I wholeheartedly agree with (even if that WVR-Q 'Quarantine' Mech -- an interesting pick, by the way -- then combined with going nuts being trapped inside my home did turn me undead). :)

However, I have a question. I noticed that this Event you're about to launch is designed to go for "13 Days, 10 Hours, 51 Minutes", which will cause what appears to be an early end on "May 19, 2020 @ 10:51 UTC" ("May 19, 2020 @ 03:51 PDT"), and I was left rather puzzled. Usually, it runs to the day, and would finish on a "17:00 PDT (00:00 UTC Next Day)" line. Is there some significance to such an end time, was there some other intent, or was this a random accidental setting? :o

Uhhhhhhhh... Bro, I can't read either the word you're talking about, or even the Current Title above your Selected Badge on the side. Is there any chance you can fill in the blanks here? :blink:

Strewth. Good on'ya. Just had a sticky beak at the challenge list. Most of that she'll be right. Tuck a slab under your seat and keep them stubbies coming.

That 500 Match Score? Tell him he's dreaming. Filthy casual here, I need to get more lucky than a one legged lizard rolling off of an angry croc's face to pull that one out of the hat.

Going to need two teams packed with a bunch of drongo's pissed up to the eyeballs to have a chance of that.

(I'm import Aussie, so might have laid it on a bit thick there folks. Enjoy the event)

One day I might get asked where I first heard about May 8 and I'll have to say MechWarrior Online.

I did completely forget to start my post with Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!

That's Australian for ' 'sup ', so you kinda forget it goes down well with the tourists.

Well, that's 50 lashes for me.

Just got used to it and I like this recent two week event format. There's more time to finish and the rewards are better. It's also appropriate that this time the occasional 500 match score has rewards that are OK (GSP and c-bills) but not that very important to get (like a mech bay, MC or a great war-horn) Two of those can be achieved on other challenges.

Looking forward for more events like this in the future. Posted Image

Time to get that Aussie flag Posted Image and other good trinkets !
