OK, I've read enough in this thread.

ey someone’s gotta be the bot equivalent of Burn

This kind of talk is unacceptable. I may not be a mod here these days, but I'm still a player that is putting a ton of work into this game and campaign and I will not have it ruined by dickheads.



Hallows, I get that you are a competitive player, but if you leave it until the last minute in this way in future and miss the cut off, you will not be counted, Burn has a life and will not cater to your whim, understood?

For the record, I would love to see an Autobot team united and playing the game together. The irony is, the one Autobot who has appointed himself as a 'leader' is bringing the bots that I have spoken to together brilliantly, only against him.
And just in case there is any doubt here, I'm referring to you Jack Hallows.

Wingz, Dragonslayer, Turbo, Steve, Servant of Light and the other guys that have put the effort in, I salute you. You played the game, engaged the community and made it really fun week, which is what this was all about. Thank you.

I'll work out the winners over the next day or so.

Thank you for all your efforts! Even though I know I didn't win, I'm excited to see who did!

I just threw my shark out into the water for old time's sake! You hungry, NS?!

Well that's a great contribution to the topic. Could you perhaps contribute some more? Like maybe why you share an IP address with Naval Strike? I'm guessing brother ... house mate ... incredibly intelligent hamster ...

Is it ok to reformat a sea monster that participated in the tourney?

Yeah, Xenos, it's okay, Comp's over; I know that Wingz already reformatted a fish into a rabbit... and promptly got all Bugs Bunny on one of Psych's TFs...

I don’t.

Points for honesty I guess?

Perhaps you could run a game or tournie? If you need any hints and tips, there's plenty of us with experience of doing this in the past.

Don’t worry your pretty pink fonts. Just you wait...

Excellent! Are we talking for the whole game, or just the bots? Are you interested in running one of Psych's territorial events? I legitimately am willing to offer any help or guidance if you want it, because I (and several other members of the RDD) have a lot of experience and are always happy to lend a hand and help people who are new to running events. If you don't want to discuss plans on here, feel free to PM me.

Of course, in order to implement any prizes, you'll need to patch things up with Burn.

I'm waiting with great anticipation...

You mean y’all can’t just exploit bugs to get what you want?

Anyway, the prize for that portion of the event will be energon, experience and bragging rights.

String your girdles up and get ready.

This again? Yawn. They're just pictures.

And seriously, if you go to Burn, with a valid question or request, and don't act like he's an arsehole for not being able to do very much, you'll find he can be very accommodating. He want's whats best for this game. As do we. What he, and we, do not like, is this antagonistic behavior, from someone who sees them self as the second coming of Prime. Our TFs are at war, we are not.

Finally, for the sake of clarity:
-Burn has nothing to do with the RDD, in fact, for a lot of our history, we and he have not seen eye to eye.
-I have actually advocated to several members of the RDD that we try and encourage you to run stuff.
I'd much rather have a strong Autobot faction or subfaction to play against, than what we have now.
-I've been told you've been helping out the low level bots, and I applaud you for that.
-We have no control over NS... He just does what he does.

If you approach us on friendly terms, we will greet you on friendly terms.
If you continue to act like a self important troll, we have a habit of repaying in kind.

How do you like the new colour scheme? Personally I think it's eye burning lol.

Flatmate guy lives in the appartement above me old classmate from school. Same guy that 10 years ago called himself the fallen. And was being a smartass found it funny i got angry over a game.... and continued to make fun of me all night together with my friends during our starfighter assault game night.

Well let me say to Jack im sorry for calling you a .... thats was very wrong of me. I responded out off emotion and that was wrong. Like most old members know i tend to have aggressive nature when ik get mad. But that's no excuses for my behaviour.

Psychout you are complete right! I was wrong and you we're right. Sorry that i didn't talked you when you tryed to talk to me last night. When i get mad i tend to respond the wrong way and didn't help that we where drinking shitloads of booze what didn't help my emotional state. And i didnt want to wrongly take my anger out on you. So again sorry!

And sorry to you as well Burn you have a hard job already and dont need me to make it any harder.

And sorry to all the HMW players namecalling is wrong and i hope didnt offend any of you with my actions.

I hope you all give forgive my action.

All good. I saw your post but had to get my computer offline due to an approaching storm, so I asked Psychout to step in (which he did, which I am thankful for).

I'm just disappointed that you really don't have an incredibly intelligent hamster.

I do have a incredibly intelligent dog who managed to open the fridge and ate my leftover pizza if that helps...

Teach it how to play HMW first.

Anyhoo ... I need some Autobots. Think I got this Sharkticon thing working but need to test it.

Just know, if there was a way to compensate you for this I would. But I can't. So ... sorry in advance if it hurts.

What tactic does it have?

Pinkimus wrote:What tactic does it have?

Bite.

Plus - Fairly confident it will work.
Negative - I now have a level 11 single tactic bot.

Winners are going to have to reset their bots first before they get their Sharkticon if they want the Bite tactic.

To begin, I’d like to say I didn’t mean to offend any Autobots who tried, and I apologize if I did.

Allow me to clarify:

I know I’m not the only Bot who tried, which is why I spoke up for the Bots that did.

The Autobots who were trying, you know who you are because you are the ones who have posted in Iacon regarding the event and/or posted at least one mission link for support. You know you did your part without anyone having to confirm that or try to act like I’m taking that away from you.

And this also isn’t referring to Bots who didn’t know what was going on in Iacon.

A vocal Autobot who participated in this event and who was offered the invitation to help the Autobots, declined the invitation, and I was butthurt by that, which prompted that comment. Especially when we could have teamed up
for some amazing things.

That is all.

I wasn’t referring to any of the specific Bots mentioned in the quoted post, perhaps I should have edited all of their names out.

Too late now lol.

regarding Dragonslayer,

The three level 3 Wreckers on my team that Naval Strike called “level bully” Bots are the reason I was the Autobot Ground War Commander.

They were the 3 Bots who protected new Autobots from the horde of incoming Decepticon assassins and reinforcements.

When Naval Strike called me a “level bully” for my Wreckers, I started looking for replacements for them in the ground war missions (1-3).

Over that week i tossed the Wreckers into missions with various Bots’ to look at combat capabilities... and I am proud to say, Dragonslayer earned the title of Autobot Ground War Commander. His Autobot Spartans regularly outscored my own Wreckers, and it became clear to me that when my Wreckers leveled up to 4, the Autobots in the ground missions would do extremely well with his Spartans providing heavy hitting offense.

And given the fact that the Autobots also now had a Medical Specialist in the form of Wingz to support them at the ground level, I knew I could upgrade my Wreckers without fear of Decepticons completely overrunning the ground missions and constantly thrashing all up and coming Autobot troop commanders.

You lot gotta admit, Dragonslayer’s a great fit. Guys got a certain charm.

Moving on,

Hallows, I get that you are a competitive player, but if you leave it until the last minute in this way in future and miss the cut off, you will not be counted, Burn has a life and will not cater to your whim, understood?

I didn’t miss the cut off, mate. But understood. I’m glad Burn’s ok.

and, you’re wrong... again. I never said I was the Autobot leader. In fact, I have said the exact opposite. I am actually hoping and waiting for a leader to take hold of the Autobot army. Someone who knows the game as well as the RDD.

I will say it again: I’m just here to fight. Battlefield leadership and overall leadership are very different jobs, and my public relations game is dismal.

But I do know ways the Autobots can work to develop the means to fight and win against overwhelming odds during an event that will determine the fate of Cybertron. We did it once before on a smaller scale, and we can do it again.

Autobots: Stand Firm.

Dude, it took a ton of balls to say all that, fair play man. I'm lucky; I'm naturally quick witted and funny. And sexy. And above all, modest. Not everyone has my qualities.

You're cool Jack, you really are, you just gotta take a deep breath every now and then and remember - red or purple badge, we're still all on the same game and we genuinely want to use our experience to help you guys. Better opposition means a better game for us and you.

Although maybe edit your posts to be a teeny tiny bit shorter?

It appears we have a tie for level 1.

Psychout wrote:In the event of a tie the number of higher level kills will be examined (e.g. number of level 11's killed, then 10s, then 9s etc.).

Yeah, great planning by me....

Unfortunately (for me) neither Cinzilla or Great Physician landed any kills themselves and as both teams scored the same (and after discussion with Burn) it has been decided to declare level 1 a draw and so BOTH Servant of Light and Xenos Prime are winner of the Level 1 bracket and will be awarded a Sharkticon.

Winners: You have 3 options to claim your prize:

1) Reset your character without rebuilding and Burn will try and add the actual Sharkticon-class alt to you character. Again, this depends on the game itself allowing this to happen so don't give him grief if it doesn't 100% work. (DISCLAIMER: We don't actually know if Bite is any good!) Please contact Burn before resetting to arrange a time you are both online.

2) Reset and reformat your character into the alt class you want, and Burn can paste the Sharkticon image over the top. This will NOT give you the bite tactic. Please contact Burn for the alt image after you have reformatted.

3) Donate it. If you don't actually want the Sharkticon alt and just joined in for shiggles; a) you are a superstar and b) please feel free to contact one of the players who missed out and see if they want it instead. We don't know when (or if) we will be able to offer a chance like this again, and there will be different prizes (not just alts) for other rounds. Once you have decided if you are donating it, they must follow either step 1 or 2 above.

Most importantly, please note: This alt update will last until you reset it so be careful with that upgrade button as you cant 'un-upgade'! (and there are no refunds if Bite turns out to be rubbish! )


I will update the main Campaign map later today (hopefully) and there will instructions for the bots on how to call the next battle.

The next HMW:Campaign for Cybertron round will start in a few weeks, and is being run by Sustain and Amalgamated Pretence. Until then, get back in the missions and get killing!!

THANK YOU ALL FOR PLAYING!!

**** me Hallows, that is a HELL of a score!!

You're cool Jack, you really are

He’s not lying, we know what you do for the game.

However the RDD’s main tactic for the game has always been if you see clan tags in the mission, throw in a bot that compliments what’s already in there. Coming from a time where missions could fill up on both sides within minutes of spawning, most of the time you had to be quick to get in. Now that so many of us have returned when bot numbers are already low I can understand how frustrating it is when missions become flooded with cons so quickly without the bots being able to consistently match up in numbers. So, you attempted to adjust your tactics accordingly. But you don’t have to wait until the last minute to jump in. I would wager that bots who see you in a mission are probably more likely to join in because of how well your team performs anyhow

Welp, we tried! Though I'm not too pleased with tying with a hentai monster

Good game, Cons! Can't wait for the next round! Thanks!

And whenever y'all need a break or just want to mix things up, I have an idea for another hunt-type event.

Glad you enjoyed yourself 'Slayer, sorry you missed out on a prize this time.

Dragonslayer wrote:And whenever y'all need a break or just want to mix things up, I have an idea for another hunt-type event.

Sounders and I are putting together a rough schedule for when we want to run these things and there will likely be a 2-3 week break between each one, but the more people willing to jump in with ideas or willing to run them the better!

The long term goal is that we have a challenge every few weeks until a faction conquers the whole map, and then we can ether start again, or find a new planet to conquer/defend.

You can either send it to us, or put it in the planning thread here?

Overwatch wrote:NS is the intelligent hamster in his household

Corrected that for you! Hamsterpower!

Guys, if you could contact me within the next 24 hours to make your claim I would REALLY appreciate it. After that it's back to work and Monday is going to be a VERY long day for me (have to travel about 50km's for three hours of band practice tomorrow night) so if I can get all this sorted before the working week begins that would be awesome.

Currently only 4 people have claimed their prizes. Let's try to get that up to everyone by tomorrow. By this time next week? If you haven't claimed by then, well, you're **** out of luck because if it takes you more than a week to claim a prize in a game that most of you play every day ... that's on you, I have better things to do than remember who hasn't claimed.

Thanks again for doing this dude.

Gotta do something while the Earth Wars minions are running on auto-pilot blowing up Autobot bases.
