Pot meet Kettle

My coming back had zero to do with your thread that nobody read before it became a mockery (then again, it kinda started that way so I guess the point is moot)

Sorry Jack, at best you're a footnote: "And Jack was there. He was a fun target for a while, then he got boring and we moved on to better things."

So this Campaign for Cybertron thing is pretty cool. Can't wait for it to get started!

Seeing as you've already begun to critique this tournament Jack, feel free to step up and run your own tournament after this one. Wouldn't want too many tournaments run by 'Cons, after all.

In fact, if any Autobot player would like to step up and help or even run their own, I'm sure it'll be much appreciated by all.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to work. (Yes, I deal with this **** during work time, still think I don't **** do anything for this site?)

He was critiquing it? I really should read his posts instead of just waiting for the screencaps.

Understandable. Some people need enemies to give their lives meaning. Others have lives whose meaning begets enemies.

Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

So long as you’re not engaging in anymore shady backdoor alt dealings, you won’t hear from the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord.

Ey man, as I exclaimed before, it’s a damn good setup, so there’s no critique here; just a clarification of the intent of the Autobot in question

I have offered to help though, and that offer will always stand. I may spend more time in the trenches than I do on the boards, but I’m still an available resource. At the end of the day, regardless of faction, the Loyalists will do whatever it takes to keep it moving. (And take some of the load off of your back so you don’t have to do it at work.) Trust and believe.

@the other tiny squeaks,
No one’s disputing why you showed up initially, we’re just detailing why you’re here now. You don’t have to admit it, but it’s clear to those who can see it: It eats you alive that someone proved you wrong.

I know a good therapist if you need someone to talk to about it lol.

Also, the history of the Howlers in the Heavy Metal War is well documented. They’ve clawed their place in the recordbook during past, sanctioned events, just as they will do here.

Alas, as much as I enjoy sprinkling you with doses of reality that you don’t seem to come into contact with very often, there is a war to fight. I don’t have the time to deal with your sore feelings because I was mean to you that time you were doing something you shouldn’t have been doing.

I’ve moved past that. You should too.

See you in the trenches, pipsqueak. :WRECKERS:

Burn, please contact me if you’re serious about me helping out. You know I mean that.

Oh jack, did you just find your Avlem-01 slagged by my poor little Cumulonimbus?

is the game started or is it later today?

Fri Feb 09, 2018 1:40 am

Yes I did and I shed a tear of both joy and sadness at all the 0’s. https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... _id=476620 :APPLAUSE:

Not that it would matter for the tourney though. Neither of our classes were eligible.

You’ll have to try again later 8-)

Let it be known that despite my name being there, I have absolutely NOTHING to do with this other than spinning up a quick intro (which apparently needed "correcting" :roll:

) and newsing it. If people want to help out or even run their own, Psychout and Sustain are the ones to talk to, they're the experts.

Heck at this stage, I barely even remember if there's a prize. I guess I'll get a PM about it once the tournament is over. :lol:

Still, my dear nimbus was happy to have such an outstanding kill

Such a complement! yet .. I feel the pressure building, ... crap. This means I better put together a good thing for March. :HEADHURTS:

Suck eggs mate.

So, quick question that might decide if I'm a last-minute entrant or just points-bait for the Decepticons...

The only prizes are the Plateau (faction), the Sharkticon alt (player) and bragging rights (being the most important of the three), correct? What if a player doesn't actually care if they win the Sharkticon or not?

Fri Feb 09, 2018 2:30 pm

I heard a rumour you could donate your Alt... And I don't know why that wouldn't be true since it's the same amount of work for Burn either way.

But like I said that's only rumor. When Psych gets back from spreading his plague he can make that call.

News Credits: 42 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 2:43 pm

Sure, why not? If someone goes to the effort of winning they can give it away if they want.

Fri Feb 09, 2018 3:03 pm

Well, then, I might as well join in the event since I'm playing anyway.

News Credits: 42 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 3:06 pm

Good work!

It's still not completely even, but there is a decent number of Bits in it now, and being outnumbered and able to pick your target has definite advantages!

Fri Feb 09, 2018 3:30 pm

Almost time for it to start, innit?

News Credits: 42 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 4:04 pm

Start at mission number #477050.

Its about 10 missions away, so maybe 10-15 minutes.

Fri Feb 09, 2018 4:28 pm

so since all team kills count if you have entered bots in 3 more levels and finish with most kills then you would win all 3 levels?

News Credits: 42 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 4:33 pm

Hmmm. That's a good point, let me ponder that one.

You may have uncovered a critical flaw :lol:

Edit: Think I may have a solution, I'll get back to you Sprock.
Couldn't you have mentioned this a few hours ago? lol

Fri Feb 09, 2018 4:37 pm

Only if you finished witH the most kills over all.

Say I got 100 kills and that was good enough to beat everyone else at level 1 that might not be enough to win level 2 because someone there might have 150

News Credits: 7 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:12 pm

I have a question that I'm not sure has been addressed: do kills against non-participating players count? For instance, in this mission, if Altius Prime kills Windshift, does that count or do we only count kills from players that have posted here?
