The Iron Man-of-Iron Challenge!

The idea is who's character can last longest with auto-cr turned off.
We'll play this one character at a time and take it in turns so other players health levels won't influence the results. Anyone wanting to play along, please post in this thread with which member of your team you want to try with. Once the person before you is done then it's your go! Since this is turn based, if someone doesn't play a mission for 24 hours the next person can begin. The player who went inactive can start again once they're back if they choose to do so.

Don't be worried if you don't have 10 tons of nano armour or a high level character. This is open to anyone and low levels may well have the advantage of missions which end without anyone getting SLed... High levels occasionally get them too but it's much rarer!

Here's how the times are to be calculated:
In mission time is what counts, not deploying your character for a day will not add to your time. For each mission your character survives, edit your post in this thread with a link to the mission and how long the mission lasted or time your got SLed. Missions with no opponents should be logged but count as zero seconds. Once SLed add up the mission times to get a final total, which will go on a leader board in this post.

Nope. I thought about it soon after and realised that I probably couldn't stick to a regular deployment and that would slow the whole thing down and didn't want that to happen.

Great idea, would love to participate, but my sporadic playing would just drag it down.

Aaaand I done **** up again.
Even though I turned off Auto-CR in options I got into such a habit turning it back on for my other characters that I did it to KP without thinking.
Amateur Hour indeed.

You're up again Kam.

Let's see if I can get Tracer through the process next without any forced errors

Tracer

Mission 1 - 8:41 SL

Well that sucks...

Shadowflash is out. Tracer is up. Very underwhelming @ 1:44

Tracer up
Tracer down
At least I didn't have to worry about CR errors.

Who got next?

Kludge is down but that final match was a good one so I'm happy with his score.

Team Bunny is on top where it belongs.
