I don't know how much waiting there might be in MWO. Whether it's waiting for a drop or waiting for your lancemates to hop online. Maybe you just need to blow off steam?

Here's the idea: Urbanmechs in a Playpen!

When you join in a game, you are put inside a stock urbanmech along with anyone else who is qued in the match.

The environment will be full of waist high balls that can be moved by running into them from the front (this causes no damage). If your mech is hit with a ball, it has a chance to knock you over.

The mech weapons will be reloaded with paint rounds. Getting hit by paint rounds will have a visual effect of covering your Urbanmech in bright colors. The only true damage it will cause is the equivelant of smearing your windshield with paint until the auto-wipers wipe off your paint.

The balls will will bounce off mechs and walls and decelerate fairly slowly.

There will be two winners. 1. The player who falls down the least. 2. The mech that is the most colorful at the end of the match and they will be desplayed side-by-side to the adulation of the arena crowds.

What do you think?

You could even have mech customization. For example, you can choose the color paint you wish to load your paint rounds with. - thanks Valcoer!

Well, Garth. Looks like it's just the two of us excited about this idea. ;)

How about we do some live action roleplaying? We'll get garbage cans, giant rubber balls, drill holes in the garbage cans for paintball launchers and hit a gynmasium! We could youtube it and be famous! :(

Best suggestion yet? :D

It could actually happen, you should be careful with these suggestions. This could be a hidden "Urbie mode" of a general Solaris or dueling game type.

Been awhile. Figured I'd bump it for another go around.

We have been running an Arena for 8 months and opened to the public 2 months ago. We have over 60 community submitted vedeos from the arena. and Have real-time Rankings/Leaderboards. This last Monday we had 44 pilots and 81 matches in 2.5 hours.

EU Timezone players - Good News,
We now have 3 hosts that have volunteered for an EU Arena on Saturdays. We are working on a time and should have it locked down by Monday the9th evening. The first MWO:Arena EU league will tentatively be held on Sat the 13th, time tba. (current proposals are is 8pm BST,10am BST or 2pmBST)
This will be an MWO:Arena Sanctioned League and as such all participants will be pre-qualified and ranked for the upcoming MWO:Arena Dueling Tournament.
Current Host volunteers: DJ_Stymie, Panzer Magier and Cauldborn have volunteered to Host.
Either Albeleo or Myself will also be there to organize and assist for the first couple of weeks.
I am trying to decide if we would like these leagues (Monday Night Fights and Sat EU Rumble) to have separate rankings?
Any thoughts?
