Only if you don't actually have to deal with them, trust me.

No offense Boymonkey.

Playing under the influence is a user hazard. I have known people in other games who play better when they are drunk, but they are the exception not the rule.

I have done similar things with purchased MC. Your money disappears pretty fast when you keep buying stuff and then selling it to get other stuff...

There was a guy at a local bar around here who'd be so blasted he could barely stand. He'd stagger up to the dart board and throw bullseyes all night. It was pretty scary.

Yea... I only have 6,000 MC worth of mechs that I actually kept. I bought an atlas-K for parts, then sold it... bought an awesome-9m to see if I liked it;.. hated it and sold it.

Down to 2270 MC and I have no idea where it all went.

No.
I'm purchasing mechbays and grinding out c-bills. Soon, I'll have all the mechs I'm interested in, which is a grand total of 5 more. After that, there's nothing for me to buy, until we get clans.

Heh.

Still have all my MC. Haven't needed new bays yet, and haven't needed to txfr mxp->gxp yet. Though I am close to mastering my HBKs, so I'll probably start making transfers off those eventually. Sitting on ~5K mxp over what my 4G needs for its master slot what it becomes available.

MC to get me a stack of FakeMoneyUnits? No thanks. Did that in closed beta, but I'm hording my MC until I see more of what they are putting in the shop. I want cool skins and junk.

I am the worst kind of F2P customer. I plan on sitting on my premium time re-activiation until I cannot stand it anymore, or until Community Warfare drops (whichever happens first) and eseentially never use a real money transaction when I can just wait and use Fake Money acquired in game in stead.

Having said that. I will by the ever-loving-spit out of some awsome skins, decals, cockpit goodies, sound packs, and so forth. The stuff that lets me rub some style on my mechs.

Don't most alcoholic containers come with a warning like: Do not drive or operate heavy machinery? Maybe you should have a failsafe like I saw concerning sending emails while impaired? It worked by making the user solve a simple math problem before the email would go out, saving you the second email usually entitled "about last night...."

/humor off, and thanks for the laugh OP :blink:

This is what I'll be doing, too.

I bought an Awesome (can't rememebr which, one that had 2 large lasers), stripped the parts and sold it. Bought a Catapult C1, bought double heat sinks, took out the LRM15s and the Medium Lasers, put in 2 Medium Pulse Lasers, the 2 Large Lasers, and 2 Streak SRM2s and started playing.

Meeeh. Well, I bought an Atlas with MC. This one was planned, though had I remembered how much MC actually costs in real money, I wouldn't have. Oh well. But the kicker was buying a second Atlas by accident, when I meant to buy it with C-bills. Damned UI. Oh well, I've bought a bunch of mech bays, and now I have only 4975 MC left. Which is now reserved for... well, probably more bays. Not sure I'm gonna bother with any "hero" mechs. Getting money isn't that difficult. And now with these "free" three weeks of premium, not likely to need more premium any time soon - not that I'll even activate my two months any time soon once it gets reset. Furthermore, unless the game expands and improves exponentially, I won't be throwing any more money at them. Despite my misgivings about potentially being burned I did that with Founder's. Given the state of the game now that it's on for real, it seems like it indeed was a mistake. There's potential to be sure, but also so many problems that should've been fixed in (pre-)alpha already.
