Maskirovka is waiting for your signal to make sure, he "will show up".

Garth did not indicate that they wanted Paul to show up, just wondered if he would.

I bet they don't want him to, like all trolls he most likely cheats and complains continuously.

[CoffiNail]

Oh here is Paul to taunt us before he loads up the game.

[Maurice]

my moneys him showing up

[Paul Inouye]

Well well well... guess who didn't show up? Garth!

Today was one of the most dramatic playtests to date. Dramatic meaning ... OH MY FLIPPIN GOD!!!!

I picked an Atlas instead of my Heavy Jenner ( ) I start navigating around, waiting for enemy signals to pop up from my team mates.. all of a sudden my cockpit is rocking back and forth and the damage indicator is flashing. I'm spinning around looking for the source and can't find it. Then just in the corner of my view port, I see the top of a Jenner running circles around me. This is shortly followed by Russ yelling... "I'm so kicking your arse Paul!!".

Well I can't have none of that so I reverse gears and change my circle direction and look who's exposed. Every weapon system on my 'Mech fires. SRMs, LRMs, MLs... BLAM!!! Oh look who's running away. I start chasing after Russ and Bryan starts laughing at how effective Russ is at dodging my fire and running away.

BOOM! Oh look.. .Russ is a smoking pile of metal. I turn around and there's 3 Jenners running around me taking pot shots left and right. FINALLY one of my team mates shows up in a Hunchback and starts laying down the smackdown. I'm crippled but still effective. I take the ML off the side of a Jenner in a big explosion of smoke, metal and sparks and he runs away. All of a sudden I'm taking heavy fire again by someone close.

Matt Craig is sitting next to me.. "You in that Atlas?" I respond "Yeah." He responds... "DIE!!" So for the next 3-4 minutes I'm dealing with him running around me in a Jenner while I'm trying to target him in my now smoking Atlas. I'm hammering T to target him and my weapon systems finally lock on. "You're a dead man now!" I yell straight into his ear. My lasers are firing non-stop. Heat is critical but screw that... I'm not letting some engineer take me down.

Then it happened.

BOOOM!!!!!!

...

...

My Atlas is now a smoking pile of metal and glowing molten armor. There's a rather large plume of smoke where my head used to be.

Very intense time had by all. This was a great session!

p.s. Russ is still whining about me in an Atlas and FD is bragging about his 7-3 K/D ratio. I finished the day with a 6-2 K/D. So I figure I win.

[Helmer]

Sooooo Kill/Death is being tracked in Playtesting at least....


Great After Action report Paul, again, Thank you!

[Dunnardel]

We need screen shots of the K/D ratio for proper bragging rights!

That's...




just.....





hurtful...




taunting us is just not fair..

[Red Beard]

This may seem a bit behind in the news and all, but would the existance of K/D ratios suggest respawns?

You just had to go there didn't you.

For testing purposes we have respawns turned on. We're stress testing the game so if we have people sitting out.. that tapers off server load pretty quick like.

[Kyle Polulak]

We had to enable re-spawns lest Paul goes back into Desk flipping tantrum mode. :/

What I think Paul is trying to say and we should all take away from this is that I took him down in his mighty Atlas with a headshot from my Jenner, skill over strength, david over goliath, brains over brawn. Consider it my gift to you all as I've been watching Paul troll you guys for a while now and Pink Thunder needed some payback for all those spoiler links
