WARDEN PACK SELFIE CONTEST

The MechWarrior Online Warden Pack Selfie Contest Results are in! Well mostly, let us explain...

As we were browsing all of the submissions, from both the Forums and Twitter, we realized two things. 1) A lot of people submitted on Twitter that didn't submit on the Forum and visa versa, and 2) more people participated than we we anticipated, and we got so many great submissions, that we knew we wanted to give away more MC prizes. So, we decided to have separate contests for the Forum and for Twitter. This allows us to give away twice as many MC prizes, but that's not all! Based on some feedback we received, we also decided to bump up the amount of the MC prizes a bit.

The following winners are from the Forum portion of the contest only. As we made this decision late in the day, we wanted to have enough time to consider the Twitter submissions in this new context. We will announce the Twitter winners tomorrow, Friday July 30th.

*Winners will be contacted tomorrow, Friday July 30th.
**Remember, this is totally subjective and for fun!

So without further ado, here are the Forum winners of the Warden Pack Selfie Contest. Congratulations to all!

1st Place Overall - Callsign 013
Winning 10,000 MC!



2nd Place Overall - Cutback
Winning 8,000 MC!

Just to put too fine a point on it:

The only people who can enter this contest are those who sprang for the Warden pack, or who now buy one of the Warden variants. yes?

Ok, I'm gonna throw my hat into the ring for this one. I have two versions of Clan Wolf Elementals as a throwback based on BattleTech the Animated Series, Episode 9: "Road to Camelot". Both in regular and IE Mode. I tried to make my Timber Wolf fit both themes.

what colors did you use? I'd like to know what red and white you used, as they are spot on for the cartoon matchup

heads up to anyone else getting the "post_to_short" error (in the interest of a fair game Posted Image ) the forum wasn't taking nicely to me directly pasting images into the thread. Upload them somewhere in discord/imgur and use the little photo icon to direct link to the photo. At which point it should give you the full image in the post w/out the error!

There is no chrome filter that I see, I even changed the Secondary Channel to a bright Yellow and made Yellow lines with Black Primary, for some reason in one match someone thought I was a Gold Mech for a bit. Posted Image

You can actually get rid of the green lines by using certain colors in the Tertiary channel.
Blues and Purples make the lines Blue shades.
Bright Yellows make them Yellow.
Dark Yellows and Red probably Brown make Orange.
Greys either make Green shades or Grey depending on base color.
Whites make White lines.

I have no idea how people are doing these out of their own Mech shots.

PSA: To post a picture on the forums, you need to upload your picture on some form of internet host, like imgur or just plain Discord. Then you can either use the "Image" button and paste the picture's URL or use [img}yourpictureurl.png[/img] (but with all [ ] brackets). It's important that your URL ends with a legit image extension like *.jpg or *.png.

For example, Sgt Zero's url would look like https://i.imgur.com/TyZrcFe.jpeg and his arctic Direwolf looks like

Quite blending in, nice job!
