1 min past deadline but I demand we accept it, snce RNG was a bad RNG today.

Agreed! 'Cept I've spent my bots already.

I, on the other hand, have a Con in every single mission today ^^

Shame you don't have any Pros!

Bad Pun, Bad Joke, sit, stay!

I hope I land some killing blows on you today

You know, I just can't win. I'm finally in a Sonic Wastes mission that the 'bots win, and my bot gets slagged before he even gets to attack.

Well, let's see work interfering with my ability to participate with help or hurt my faction. Too early to tell just yet.

That sucks, at least we won so it wasn't a shutout for you.

Oh Daneki - check the last action on that mission!

This is true, but it covers less than a third of the CR costs.

It's at times like this I'm glad my level 1s are as good as they are. They're the primary reason my Energon funds keep going up.

I can live with being killed by the likes of you, as long as I keep on scoring 3224xp more than you

Thought you might!

And Thunderscream - looks like the cons have a heavy level advantage on the missions you made in into.

It was neck and neck right up to the last two missions....

Things just worse and worse for us...and I doubt the weapon re-stock will help.

No worries Vampir, I'm gonna try and work at making sure to basic rules are a bit more obvious here anyway!

I think a lot of people join without looking at the first page of the thread, which obviously has the rules noted down. They then put in missions that can't be counted. When I actually read the rules themselves the procedure seemed perfectly straightforward, so I don't think that they're just unclear. So you're suprisingly competent for an Autobot, Supercollider!

Maybe the first person who posts for a day's carnage could put in an obvious link back to the rules so that new players checking the thread could see what to do? Might be a bit impractical though.

Either that or we all go around with links in our sigs (including my non-existent one ) to the rule pages. 'Cause you've gotta learn those rules...

Yeah there's already a link on my sig but I'm thinking about "distilling" the basics into a Rules Recap on the first mission post each day but even then the thread fills up so quickly it'd get lost. Still gotta tweak the rules about making sure they're open to both sides when they get posted.

There must be a way.

Supercollider wrote:Still gotta tweak the rules about making sure they're open to both sides when they get posted.

Yeah, that's not actually in the rules at all, is it? Better make it rule nine.

As you say, the difficulty in posting something at the beginning of a session is that it gets lost. It's not very easy to put in regular re-caps either, cause then it almost becomes your constant responsibility to say on every page "These are the rules". In a way, we just have to watch the boards and if we notice anyone new, direct them to the rules section. Probably the best idea. And then they'll probably just forget the rules like Daneki does.

Mental note: Don't piss off best ally.

THE RULES
1/ The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club.
2/ The second rule of Fight Club is - you DO NOT talk about Fight Club.
3/ Third rule of Fight Club, someone yells Stop!, goes limp, taps out, the fight is NOT over.
4/ Fourth rule, A minimum of 6-a-side missions, with 4 spaces left per side or it will not count.
5/ Fifth rule, Missions should involve a minimum of 3 levels (1-3, 2-4, 5-8, 1-10, etc.).
6/ Sixth rule, only acceptable missions posted in the Fight Club thread will count.
7/ Seventh rule, only fights posted from 13:00 to 14:00 UK Time will count.
8/ And the eighth and final rule, if you post in the Fight Club thread, you have to fight.

?

Yeah, four's probably about right I'd say. Although you could still get situations like Daneki had the other day when it fills up literally whilst you're posting.

That'll happen anyway.

At least this way they are less than half full when posted.

Yeah something like that! I'm just stretching myself somewhat thinly recently with trying to update the Quick Start Guide (OS not changing the weapons has made that less of an issue), writing the fanfic, doing an AWC project, Fight Club Sigs, my getting to level 3 fast challenge, That's with out RL stuff like finding a new job fast (needs complete career direction change), writing the "killer" CV, trying to recruit a singer, trying to fix all the major DIY issues on my house before the baby arrives.

Anyway I only ever remember about the rules update in the middle of playing Fight Club so I never remember when I've got chance to write.

[EDIT] Done! and the "distilled" version -
Basic Rules:
13:00-14:00 UK Time. Look for missions that cross a minimum of 3 levels, 6v6 or greater, and at least 4 empty places on each side then post them in the fight club thread.

Not smack talky enough for me. Id go with;

13:00-14:00 UK Time. Fight Club is about PAIN.
[size=0]sorry, that was going to be the fight club link but that ones is way too cool![/size]

or

13:00-14:00 UK Time. Find missions that cross a minimum of 3 levels, 6v6 or greater, and at least 4 empty places on each side. Post them in the fight club thread. Beat on Phaze.

13:00-14:00 UK Time. Find missions that cross a minimum of 3 levels, 6v6 or greater, and at least 4 empty places on each side. Post them in the fight club thread. Meet interesting new people and beat them into a pulp.

Now that I like!

Beat on me its normally the other way around and your bots go home with a battle blade sticking where the sun should never shine

Fixed!

Be sure to lob plenty of missions in inthe first 10 mins, and I'll throw everything I have at those acursed autoboobs!

After that I havea train to catch.

The 'collider will now be fielding 6 level 2's against all you cons!

So I expect my CR costs to skyrocket this lunchtime!
