I forget if I've volunteered or not yet but I know enough to set up a server and forward ports and all that for a couple of games. I feel the biggest hurdle is coordinating shit. Maybe make a group DM for all interested parties.

You might have and I either forgot, or got lost in replies. I'd be happy to write lore, battles etc. I got a little MWO time in, one day we'll get some time in.

I still haven't got clans... but I have an upcoming 5 day weekend and seems like most basic bugs for it came out so guess time to buy.
 
So couple weeks in with the Bane's release and honestly I'm not a huge fan. Too big, too slow and the armor of a victor for 100 tons really just pushes me off.

Its a glass cannon that cannot glass cannon. Because of the size of the mech your more likely to lose limbs before you even see your target. The only variant i have praise for is the LRM launcher. Capable of saturating 60 damage constantly is a boon.

Also Grayson I think I played another match with you.

I'd be willing to play a game against you in MegaMek as a test. And to show you the ropes a bit if you're not too experienced with it.

Got new hinterlands book. Worth the cash but if you explain how to share it I don't mind.. I mean donate to frenz.

Bane in MWO is absurd if you're good but as you said it's all gun. Nothing else. Then ac2 build is absolutely bullshit if they have good placement and can wait till you can't get cover. Its like what 20 damage at 1000m? Rapid.

They are such easy kills solo in a light. I got one with my wolfhound and could almost hear him smash his keyboard in rage.

The Xmas event started real easy lots of goodies. I got a warthog God it's broken with no skills yet lol.
 
So like, hypothetically, if you had a friend who started printing Savannah Masters, when would you know that they'd gone too far? 100? 1,000? If they pour out of the doorway when you go to visit?

Just asking for my friend.

Saw a YouTube comment about this very issue. The comment said something like, "A game store I went to made a rule that if a player is going to do a savannah master wave, he must come up with names for and elaborate backstories, families, training, etc. for every single pilot."
So clearly you should print at least 2000.

Just use any air units the savannah master has no defense against a simple Firebird. Sure you'll never have as many air units as the enemy will have Savannah Masters, though the only hope they have is that he has enough Savannah Masters to either cause you to run dry on ammo or fuel, but if that happens I am kamikazing all the aerospace into the Savannah Masters to spite him.

nigger add me.

I only called you a nigger because you lack a blood name.

KEK SM spam is hilarious until you allow arty and then you regret it. Tube guns are pretty cheap esp for BV.

Everyone who has requested to be added so far is in the group. I suggested a game for tomorrow around 4pm EST 10pm CET or so if anyone else is interested.
