Ok ok ok ok ok!

I had this sudden idea after a short talk with Paul Inouye.

Basically it comes down to this, on Launch day (or a day or two after launch) Devs settle up into battlemechs and we all take to the field and basically as a community we spend some time calling each other out and doing some 1v1s to settle grudges.

That way we all get a shot at some forum revenge in the most fun way possible ; p

Russ, no cheating.

Think that might be something more suited to a special event probably. We don't know currently if there is even any 1 vs 1 option at launch.

Also... imagine we'd actually get a chance to fight some of the devs/mods... What LP would that yield? WoB LP or what? And I'm also a bit scared of Paul's Pink Panthe... errr... Atlas.

Im afraid I simply don't have enough time in my day to fight every single grudge match that the masses will levy against me.

Can I do this by proxy?

[Omigir]

Game day launch special even then XD either way there are some scores to be settled!

Im sure the event could be pod cased/frappe and turned into some kind of in game tailor to be posted onto the forum, that way the humiliation can be witnessed for all!

and yes Masson, you can send Paul to do your dirty work ; p

or hire me. I will probably throw every match you hire me to do though. Not my name at risk at that point XD

I remember back when Gears of war first launched and Cliffy B. said something to the extent of, "I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME SINCE IT WAS CONCEIVED AND THROUGH THE YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT... I'M GOING TO STOMP ALL YOU INTO DA DIRT, BLAH BLAH BLAH."

20 minutes later he was found crying in a corner. Well... not literally, but if memory serves correct he got destroyed.

Just saying: don't expect devs to be Div1 players at the time of release

Ahh.. while a good idea in theory.. you want to wait until AFTER LAUNCH DAY !!

I can't wait that F'n long... !!

I hope we can do something like that during Beta or Alpha (If they let us in)

I have a feeling I'll be busy organizing my folks to get the Merc unit created. And taking a vacation day.

Hire some Merc to do it for you. Oh... wait... in your case wouldn't that make him a sub-contractor?

[Omigir]

Meh, any who appose this idea are just afraid of what my light mech will do to their assault.

Assault Mechs? You might have to pay me to pilot one of those, to be honest. Never particularily liked them. So hope I can get an ASN-23 Assassin to have some fun with enemy lights.

I like it! That'll teach em for all that Trolling! (Looks at Paul) If you ever feel like getting the troll beat out of you before launch, you could always join us in some MW4 matches Hehehehehe...

EDIT: That, or you can give me early alpha access

I'll fight with ya, Mason... I'll proxy while you're doing other things, but you have to come in and fight periodically.

im going to laugh if the devs say yes and we all show up on the game and wait around for them and they never show. ...

that or they show up in clan mechs with the excuse of 'sorry, had to go all the way to clan space to pick up our new ride'

We're getting into Gausszilla territory here...

Or do what Valve did on HL2:CTF and code their own personalised hacks into the game.

I could see Paul tricking one of the coder guys into doing this. He seems the tricky sort...

pic or it didn't happen...


Besides mounting five Gauss Rifles, the exact configuration of the original Gausszilla remains unconfirmed. Available sources portray it as a Clan ("Level 2") technology 100-ton 'Mech with a class 200 standard engine, Endo-Steel structure, 10 double heat sinks and a head-mounted ER Medium Laser as a secondary weapon.

really? cause you need a secondary weapon (what happened, did he hide behind a planet when you shot at him)?

"Third Appendage" are you talking about touching tips, Paul?
