Woo! Great fun. I had the privilege of "protecting" Karl in his first match tonight. I use that term in it's loosest sense. I ran around and did pitiful damage, but managed to be the last standing on my team (largely due to that whole running around doing pitiful damage thing). Still, really fun event.

And many many thanks to you and the NGNG crew for that help sir! :) I sure needed every bit of help I could get.

It was a ton of fun, and I am now off to train super saiyan style for my inevitable return. Till then I'll blame Kyle for all the flags they got on me.

I laid down my Mech's life to Protect Karl, only one I got into, NO BANNER FOR ME :)

t'was the match where me and Phil, tunnel flanked, distracting the enemy leading to our victory and Karl surviving handily. Scored a Kill too :)

i ran across Garth earlier in the day as we got smooshed handily by his squad. i also notice he never actually denied my claim that he used his magical dev powers to equip his cicada with 5 gauss cannons.

I had JUST read the announcement, launched and saw the PGI tag after thinking "no way this is gonna happen". Karl kinda got stuck in a corner on City Night at the end, but he went down fighting. ^_^

That night map was terrifying! I couldn't see anything, even with heat vision. When I got stuck in there I figured I was done for; plus I had a few other devs laughing at me from behind. Good times.

This was the worst event ever. I've never seen so many trash talking premade groups ever. Will avoid the next night all together.

Hey I remember that match and Garth did not have gauss equiped. I remember med lasers hitting me and I jumped on the island tower in Rivercity. I was raining down Lrms and they saw me. Needless to say Garth and another CDA was opposing a cat a1 that I just started unlocking. I made a miss-step and fell off the building. Needless to say they made short work of me. Garth in an ecm cda and no one around to counter. They were to close for the missiles to be effective anyway. It was fun though.

I really would like to participate in this but having a familiy doesn`t allow me be online at this time (it`s 3am-5am in Germany). Why can`t you do a Piranha Hunt when you guys come to the office in the morning?! If you start playing at 9am your time, we EU players would be able to participate, as well.

Best regards,
m4rTi


Indeed.. I don't mind events that have nothing but bragging rights in the wee hours of the morning but ones that hand out rewards suck big time and show a disregard for the global community. This has always been the case with small publishers in the past, so I am used to it.. but it still stings every time I come across it.

I've had devs recognize me and say "hi Thontor" in chat before I even noticed they were in the same match.. I think Alex Iglesias and Dennis de Koning have done this... Heh Posted Image

Thontor.... i'm afraid to ask what goes on offline between u and the devs ;-)
