Your ability to predict the future is uncanny.

Or i'm just awesome. Maybe both.

Being the Autobot Savior does come with some perks, aside from the 2% discount from Warporn Industries entertainment sector.

He charges you huh?

Get yourself a midget clone and send it in to steal it all for free.

April 29th: Broke into top 50
By the end of this week I will be in the top 13
Not bad for 7 months. I figure that's about 6 million XP a month on average and 5 positions a month.

I noticed you were firmly in 13th place already... Congratulations!
Looks like the 'scientifically'/ statistically sound set-up really does pay off well.

Thanks, I am hoping for two things now.
That AZ, you and myself can get into a few more groups and raise him to rank 18 and that the changes I am about to make today will be able to increase my XP by enough to get me 12 by this time next week.

It doesn't take rocket science to builds like that in this game. You don't seem to grasp that not everyone wants to.

Reason Number 1096921 to level up faster; It clears up the lower levels, so there is more exp to go around for the bots fighting for it, letting the weaker players get XP to fend of the much stronger cons at the lower levels.

Tell you what though, if you're willing to admit that I am your lord and master, the one true savior, and your personal jesus christ in HMW:GD, then maybe I'll level down for ya. Can't promise anything about the other runners though.

You sound like a broken record with your 'leveling up' argument. Right now, YOU ARE the "weaker player".
I don't mind throwing the 'Cons an XP bone by leveling up, but having weak 'Bots which are generating next to no XP for themselves is just dumb. Come to think of it, you're actually holding the game back more, because it probably takes three times the amount of time for your 'Bots to climb up to the next level with your under-powered 'Bots' low XP generation, than it does for someone with better aligned stats who gets consistently better XP generation. Nice going, spoilsport.

... yeah, about that... You know what, don't bother about leveling down anymore. I've got plenty of excellent, well set up back-up from other 'Bots like _Anshin_, SNAPCASE, Zordon, chrisjbrandon and Conjurous. We're all doing well AND providing great XP for ourselves, for the 'Cons and for all the lower levels who are lucky enough to get a hit/repair in. We're doing this game more favors on a daily basis than you could do in a month.

BTW I could save you too, if you want to be saved... But right now, this game passed you by at such speed that your hairpiece was left blowin' in the wind.

Well, I could see how, if the only thing you've gotten from it is "leveling up." since I've run over a few reasons why, but yeah, I am the weakest autobot at level 7, but still able to gain XP at a pretty nice pace. On the other hand, if you really understood anything about this game, which you clearly don't, you wouldn't have said any of that after posting a link to Stickshift. Yeah, he had an absolutely horrid run through 7 missions (before and after the streak, he had 2.5k missions). Before and after those? Pretty nice gains of 20k missions. So, through those 9 missions, he still average 5k per deployment, which again, is low for a level 6, but well, most of the people at his XP level are still 5. Hell, there are decepticons with as much XP as Gauntlet, that are level 5.

See, you're just dumb. How can I be holding back the game, when I am generating XP for others? Are you really that stupid? I am possibly holding myself back (but since, hey, I passed up a Burn bot the other day, I kinda doubt that). So, if I am generating XP for others, how can that be holding back the game, when it allows them to make better builds and level up faster? Oh, wait, duh. You just don't know how the game works! Ok, forgot that.

I'm good, I don't need a savior. I have a sense of humor, and I know how to generate XP for others (you know, like how N_V does for you?) but, it's funny that of those bots you mentioned, I stomped the ones who played when I was a Con. Except Snappy. But, Snappy could probably teach everyone something about the game, since he was #1 for a long long time.

He was?

Wasn't he? Or was it someone else. You know how it is. After so many years of this game, people kinda fade together. I mean, sometimes I can't tell Alldarker from one of those Optimus Prime guys who used to frequent the board.

I think you meant sprokitz.

Wouldn't normally post here, but im afraid AZ is right. Snappy was by far the top 'con of the old game. IIRC Lord of Destruction was the only con that was consistently above Gore in the score charts to the end and most, if not all, of his team were L11s by the time the game was restarted.

Credit where credit is due. Sprok and Snappy owned the game back then.

Hmm... AD and AZ seem to have this down:

How else do you lead a zombie horse to water?

Seriouly dude? Did you buy that last week? Because I'd definitely like to see you use it! If you need instructions, I can help you with that too: all in a day's work for your saviour.

And we're non-union, so no writers' strikes either!

I've always had a sense of humor, it's just funnier than yours, so you miss the jokes a lot. (when you're not poorly ripping them off)

Also...

I am union. I'm poor working class Irish in America. I think we invented the union.

Topped 9 million XP, broke into the top 100, working on the top 90. Not bad considering on october 21st, I posted that he past 7 million XP. Gain of about 2 million XP in about 2 1/2 weeks. By that rate, he should be level 8 before x-mas. I am shooting for a team full of level 6s by the end of the month. I need about 300k each on the bottom 6.

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... r_id=87273

Gauntlet reached level 8, little more than half way to 11m XP, and slowly gaining on Burn to get into the top 80. Also passed Editor by (thanks for being idle) to get into the top 20 the other day.

Gauntlet hit 11m XP today. Passed up one of Burn's guys on the high scores.

Team passed 50 million today.

Gauntlet passed 12 million last night. 5 days after 11. Lets see if he can keep this pace up.

I estimate you should be able to do between 1.6 and 2.1 million a week at this rate. Good freaking job man.

Thank you.

100k mission really helped. I've had largely empty missions today though unfortunately.

And now Inertia has hit 6 million. Full team over 3 million.
