Class of 99's cover of Another Brick in the Wall is so much better!

and about scalping, has the question about whether someone has a full team or not been answered?

It seems like every kill I get is from someone who doesn't have 12 members


In that situation, my answer would be to kill the whole team, and then enough additional kills on the team to make 12 kills.


Alright, thanks :D

Never mind. I have no further interst in the endeavor of bounty hunting. This is yet another way to exclude the Predacon and Maximal players. As it is at least 3-4 times harder for us to land an entire team from another faction as it is for the Bots and Cons. Combine that with people getting them right off the bat for their past deeds instead of having a fair challenge for everyone. If mission logs that no longer exist would count then every action Predacon player would be a Bounty Hunter several times over from wiping out Autobot players and teams by the handfuls.

I highly recommend that you read the rules concerning qualification as a hunter. You will save yourself a lot of work posting and editing if you do this.

On a side note I know that there are plenty of people that want to be hunters. Trying to make the people running the tourney conform to your wants will probably not work. Please follow the guidelines laid out by the Tournament Rules.

yeah the odds are against us but whatever. if i cant do it within a few days i'll slag the idea myself. the hardest part is to get people to throw EVERY bot in a pred mission. i've noticed most people have 1 or 2 they won't fight us with. While it would have been nice to start fresh and let us know we're trying out for this before hand , just so i could claim a few kills since the reset without searching tens of mission logs and tracking down individuals teams, stuff happens.

whatever, if i get it I get it, if i don't then I'll complainbut probably only to myself so the mods don't get all upset

It does seem like it would be fun to do but the smaller factions are getting the shaft imho.

Oh well doesn't hurt to try

Actually, it was agreed that there should be a special tournie/hunt for the first batch of licenses, not just handing them out to whomever scalps a full twelve of anyone, which is why I was under the impression it was going to be going off the individual scores in Tammuz's hunt (since you know, Psychout kinda said something like yes when asked about that on the thread in the tournie forum), then after that, you had to scalp twelve members of a already licensed hunters team.

if there WERE any alternative id do it, but the mods have decided thats how its going to be done so i'm trying my darnedist. does any one else have an idea?

how about we start an illegal bounty hunting crew and put ourselves on the line? we gotta pay going scalp rates on ourselves if you can take us out while in the process of collecting a bounty? i mean my liscence to drive has been revoked, but my car still starts and when i got caught drivin i got a ticet so whats stopping us from collecting bounties without a liscence with the penalty we'd have to pay a fine? you just gotta catch us but its still an option

we're just trying to have some fun without buerocracy getting in the way :P

And obviously the plan changed.

Now, you can continue to live in the past and cry about things, OR, you could actually offer up some suggestions on how to help out those in the smaller factions.

Wow, thank you so much for basically saying the Mods aren't open to changes.

The fact that I even asked means what to you exactly then?

Yes, that hunt was the scalphunt that Tammuz organised.

I had it all sorted with T that the game would pick up when the hunt was over, but the log wipe **** it all up, so I moved the schedule forwards to try and keep you all playing. I awarded a licence to neliz for his collection of Reds team (as I cross checked it personally when it was finished) to kick the game off with a bang, and I awarded GS a licence as he had already collected a full team since the log wipe.
Anyone else who completes a team will get the same when they apply.

Yes, its changed from the original plan but I had no choice. To publicly announce 2 days after its started that you wont be joining in is a bit hasty dont you think?

Just because the game has changed slightly does not mean you are being excluded. Besides, as it currently stands, even if the log wipe didnt happen no one apart from maybe Electron qualifies for a licence, even you still only have 10 (edit:sorry 11) of psychomuds team.

Any other ideas we had for awarding them now cant be used as you guys have caused so much of a fuss. Did it not occur to you to contact us privately about this?


Yes, this is my screw-up, I had to move fast and you guys have blocked me. So, where do we go now?

Perfect solution:

Nuke the Predacon and Maximal factions. Then reintegrate them with their "main" faction. Why am I of all people advocating this? Seeing as how I'm a major player in the Preds and I'd be barely a blip in the Cons?

Simply put the Secondary factionss aren't viable. We're practically a secondary class here. We had to beg for the option for new players to choose our sides when they start. Those that did still don't have board access, so co-ordination is an exercise in frustration and futility. It really says something when one of the Predacon Mods doesn't even have access to the Predacon forums. If the staff won't even support the existence of the secondary factions and the rules for this game went from achievable for the best of each faction to just everyone from the Bots and Cons only well that's **** up.

There's no way it's not. And to be honest this is probably the first time I'm close to losing my cool about something here. So I'm just going to walk away from the forums before I get myself a warning.

Here's a real challenge for you though. I'd lay a wager on the fact that there won't be more then 5 Maximals AND Predacons that make the cut within the next two weeks. I'll leave it up to the rest of the Predacons or Maximals to prove me wrong. But by my estimation you'll have 10 Autobots/Decepticons by the end of the week.

Yeah and here's the other thing. If Electron's the only one that should qualify for a license why does he not have one? And why do other people have them? Like I said earlier. If people want to prove my point wrong let them. But I won't be doing it.
