I'm not so sure I would have been so bold in my praise of the Upstarts if I had known we could no longer call on your skills. What's next?!?Nexus' New-World Raiders? Phantom's Fabulous Five? Smeltz Belts? Stonewall's Stone-Age Brawlers? I guess that brings me to what I see as the major stumbling block towards forming semi-permanent teams: trying to figure out who to team-up with. It seems basic, but to help illustrate my point: I don't even know who the Upstarts are, despite the fact that I'm challenging people to fight us, whoever WE are. Like Toby suggest, we need some type of system for making teams balanced, otherwise the game loses its appeal if you should be on the losing team all the time (same could be said if one is always winning I guess) Don´t think so much Jung, the honorable Liveship Rbentus is siding with the upstarts. Everybody else: Choose your allegiance (for this Sunday at least )! currently: EEGG: jby LR/upstarts: iceman, Jung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 4 vids are from the raid map on sunday. In case you´re wondering why I didn´t record the whole thing...the second you push the game cam record button the frame rate drops to about 20 (usually I have about 40-90)so I only recorded when I felt relatively safe(a mistake as you´ll see Also there is no sound, have to see if thats possible the next time. the vids: teamwork: Imperial grunt is bearing down on my puny apollo with his thor. we trade shots (actually had i waited half a second longer I probaly could have shot through the side of the turret), I reverse like crazy, trying to at least kill a track, then kurtz comes to the rescue and gets IG with a flank shot tankhunter1: I surprise Nexus and miss a 100% kill chance . should have aimed a teensy bit more to the left or used shpede charge instead...second later jung vapes me..a recurring theme :mad: hunting: diposing of a foolish bot decisions: in this case it would have made more sense to disengage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aittam Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Althought not in the scene those videos have been taken during my two highest moment on the battlefield: capturing the ion tower on the mountain, with my fierce cutter I got a ion MBT totally unaware of my presence and I chased a ATGM Paladin away; then Bones got is revenge with infantry but he didn't see me coming down with another inf squad and culling away his platoon. Second episode: DrE was sitting in his MBT with two 90mm close to the ion tower on the small hill; dropped a platoon just on top of the tower and walked my way to his tank, blowing up the turrets on the way, and got him while he was doing long range target practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after googling Sir Flemming I now know that the inhabitants of Halifax are referred to as Haligonians. :eek: back to DT...this whole challenge/teams thing doesn´t seem to be catching the imagination of the masses ,so I suggest, in my function as centurion of EEGG, that the upstarts and Liveship Rbentus join forces with EEGG and smash those who dare to oppose us in our bid to bring order to the galaxy!

Jalinth Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I regret to inform you that the Liveship "Ruby's Dragon" will not be arriving in time for the battle. It's forces have been called away to engage the Clans on the borders of the Inner Sphere, followed by a humanitarian works involving decorating the church Sunday afternoon. The offer of free Pizza was to tempting to resist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 What about you Imperial Grunt? You stated an interest in forming some sort of teams: if you can make it tomorrow how about siding with the Epsilon Eridani Gas Giants? I can vouch for jby's craftiness as a teammate, so you need not worry in that department. As it is we really only have enough players to form one solid team. Perhaps jby's right about forming an alliance and kicking some combined butt. Anyway, we can always wait and see what develops come battle time.

Chilibird Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Speaking of battle time... I've had something come up that I cannot get out of. (I have to admit that the past few weeks that I've missed have been because I've forgotten) I do not know for sure if I will be back by 3 or not. I will jump on as soon as I get home, but I'm not positive on being able to make it. (It was supposed to happen today, but it didn't, so it's tomorrow) FYI-> There is 2 ways this situation can play out. The way it looks now is that it will be earlier. There is another potential situation that it won't start until after 5:30 or so. I guess you'll know if I'm online come match time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalinth Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I wonder, is Saturday afternoon a good time for anybody? It would have the advantage of not being the day before monday, so people in Europe (such as Bertram) would be less troubled by the timing issues.

Chilibird Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Saturday is fine for me. I would like to propose that the battles between Rbentus and EEGG be postponed until we have some larger teams. Anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yeah, I agree on the postponing the battle for now. I'll still be on today at the regular time, barring unforeseen happenstance. Saturday or Sunday work for me, but it has to be one or the other. I need at least one day on the weekend not focussed on playing games. If given the choice I would prefer to keep Saturday free, as there is generally more s**t going on on Saturday. How about earlier Sunday, therefore it wouldn't be so late for the Europeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
