I've started losing respect for quad mechs after that last Megamek game with Hylius.

Quads are an advanced unit, they really require a lot of planning and thought with regard to their movement.

I'm not saying I can use them well, I'm saying they're plenty useful when they are used properly, but they take more fore-thought than your standard BattleMech with its fancy torso-twist.

Yes, clearly it was the fault of the quad that you failed to roll a 3 (unless you had leg damage?) on a PSR (because you obviously would have rolled a 5 or more as required by a bipedal BattleMech), then rolled a TAC (unless you had a bare CT or CRT?) that blew your gyro.

Well my Centurion fell over and blew out its AC ammo blowing himself into oblivion, and by Trebuchet walked under a water cooler - it collapsed, and destroyed the mech. The terrain killed more of my mechs than Hylius did.

With 4/5 pilots it's one of the greater threats, really.

I'm sure he was talking about the MegaMek talk not MWO, but he might have confused the two.

Because obviously liking a show about pastel ponies correlates with low skill at video games. If you're trying to make yourself look ignorant, you're doing a fantastic job of it, sir.

We take Ponies very seriously here. In fact, we take MWO serious as well, as we are demonstrating. It would seem we are taking it more seriously than some other groups who may or may not like pastel colored cartoon characters too, if you know what I mean :P

In the end our reputation will speak for us, as it is already doing and no amount of verbal or other attacks on us or our site/wiki will make so much as a hairs difference.

We are just plain better than them. Quality over quantity :P

Thumbs up for these guys. A great group to spend an evening with blasting away and having a good time to boot.

Now Protection, clearly I baited you into those positions to cause such explosions.

And to be fair you kept your 'Mech from exploding at 20+ heat for a few turns. That was quite annoying. Didn't even shut down.

Done!


The Super Speedy, SRM Small Laser Cheesy, Jenner XL 300

-----

[Flim]
Well, lookie what we got here, lancemate of mine, it's the same in every game
Ammo swollen Cats with LRMS aplenty and not a scouting mech to be found
Maybe they're not aware that there's really no need for this teary despair

[Flam]
That the key that they need to solve this sad scouting shortage you and I will share

Mechwarriors: [excited chattering]

[Flim and Flam]
Well you've got target rich HUDs (*worded as H - U - Dees*)
In this burning River City

[Flam]
He's Flim

[Flim]
He's Flam

[Flim and Flam]
We're the world famous Jenner pilots
Traveling merc speed freaks nonpareil

Pinkie Pilot: Non-pa what?

[Flim]
Nonpareil, and that's exactly the reason why, you see
No pony else in this whole place will give you the fine selection of targets you need to see
And that's a new world, with tons of Jenners
Fresh dropped and ready for some scouting

[Flam]
More Jenners than you can use in 15 minutes non-stop boating.

Longbow Dash: I doubt that.

[Flim and Flam]
So take these target rich HUDs

[Flim, Flam, and Crowd]
In this burning River City

[Flam]
He's Flim

[Flim]
He's Flam

[Flim and Flam]
We're the world famous Jenner pilots
Traveling merc speed freaks nonpareil

[Flim]
I suppose by now you're wondering 'bout our peculiar mode of transport

[Flam]
35 ton mode of locomotion

[Flim]
And I suppose by now you're wondering, where is this promised mech?

[Flam]
Any horse can make a claim and any pony can do the same

[Flim]
But my brother and I have something most unique and superb
Unseen at any time in this here conflict

[Flim and Flam]
And that's target rich HUDs

[Flim]
Folks, it's the one and only, the smallest and the fastest

[Flam]
The uncatchable

[Flim]
Jump Jet capable

[Flam]
Indispensable

[Flim]
nearly undetectable

[Flim and Flam]
Flim Flam brothers' Super Speedy, SRM Small Laser Cheesy, Jenner XL 300

Flam: What d'you say, sister?

[Crowd]
Oh, we got target rich HUDs
In this burning River City
Please Flim, please Flam, help us out of this jam
With your Flim Flam brothers' Super Speedy, SRM Small Laser Cheesy, Jenner XL 300

Flim: Young filly, I would be ever so honored if you might see fit
to let my brother and I borrow some of your destructive, and might I add heat seeking
long range missiles for our little demonstration here?

Battlejack: Uh, sure, I guess.

[Crowd]
target rich HUDs, in burning River City

[Flam]
Ready Flim?

[Flim]
Ready Flam?

[Flim and Flam]
Let's bing-bang zam!

Flim: And show these Cat piloting ponies an engagement with the speedy Jenner!

[Crowd]
Jenner, jenner, jenner, jenner... [continues until Granny Atlas interrupts]

Flim: Watch closely my friends!

Flam: The fun begins!

Flim: Now, here's where the magic happens, right here in this hydrogen burning
super fusion guts of the very machine, those targets sited fresh are right now
as we speak being turned into grade-A top-notch five-star blow-your-head off swiss cheese
by the one-of-a-kind Jenner!

Flam: Feel free to take a sneak peek!

[Granny Atlas]
Now wait, you fellers, hold it!
You went and over-sold it!
I guarantee that what you have there won't equate
to this standard engine brawler
a heavy armor hauler
A 100 ton, pack-it-full-of-guns, max your K/D rate!

[Flim]
Well Granny, I'm glad you brought that up, my dear, I say I'm glad you brought that up
You see that we are very picky when it comes to killing targets if you'll kindly look straight up!

[200 LRMS procede to fall on Granny's head]

[Flam]
Yes, sir, yes ma'am this great machine lets just the very best
So whaddaya say then, Atlases
Care to step into the modern world
And put the Super Speedy, SRM Small Laser Cheesy, Jenner XL 300 to the test?

[Crowd]
Jenner, jenner, jenner, jenner... [continues until Flim and Flam begin singing]

Flim: What do you think, folks? Do you see what the Atlases can't?
I see it without even using heat vision! I know she does! So does he!
C'mon Ponyville, you know what I'm talking about!

Flim and Flam]
We're saying you've got

[Flim, Flam, and Crowd]
Target rich HUDs
In this burning River City
He's Flim, he's Flam
We're the world famous Jenner pilots
Traveling merc speed freaks nonpareil

[Flim and Flam]
Yeah!

[As they remove their hats a rain of LRM fire strafes across the cityscape behind them destroying it]
