Echoes of the Past Tournie Discussion Thread
Re: Echoes of the Past Tournie Discussion Thread
Lookout JP, more than once in a day. OOOHHHHHH!
I just wanted to get involved a little bit before I had to take a few weeks off from the game for a medical thing that's finally getting taken care of. Just don't go getting all leveled up while I'm gone.

Being outnumbered is no excuse for a poor showing. You can atleast earn some good XP.

Effort? I barely get any tourny missions when I do I get gutted and Im not letting myself get killed just so some *looking at you Jeep!* can get even more kills and personally with almost no support from the Maximals I think weve done pretty damn good.
EDIT: Whiner-Tron you speak bold words for someone with no kills

I do earn some exp, but that doesn't count towards a tournie victory nor most of the time towards my own personal kills in the tournie. Which I might add are higher than yours.


This mission here is a case in point. 3 on 10. Yeah that's going to go well.

EDIT: Figures, right after I say that 2 more bots join the mission.

What I was talking about when there are missions available, which seem to be few and far between for me and others, is that we don't get the support in there. The only exception is the Pred missions which for me are the Level 4-11 missions. The reason for that is the Preds who play those are typically the higher level Preds at Levels 7-11 and the 'Bots are going in hoping to get a quick XP boost due to the high levels. I think the other reason is that the 'Cons typically fill up the tourney missions so quickly with their superior communication (there I admitted it), the 'Bots get intimidated by the numbers and go off to a different mission. I am not trying to make excuses, just stating what I have seen. We have throughly gotten beat even when it was pretty even. What I would like to see is the 'Bots stop being afraid of getting into these outnumbered tourney missions.

QFT. There is more needed out of the bots and the ones that do, don't come around often to start the communication up. Hoistimus is a good example, he's a great player and when he did have time he got the bots moving to rally and beat the 'Cons when we were winning. As things do happen RL and a new baby has his free time eatten its made me debate becoming an Autobot many times.

Really it doesn't take much but some motivation, we didn't used to have it you know.
Feel free to add me to your MSN if you have it, if you have something else I can start using it, I am lazy to turn it on most of the time.

Its hard for me since I'm at work from 7:00 am to 4:30 pm and can't have MSN IM here. So I don't have much for communication for most of my playing time.

Have you added a chat box to the AWC maybe? some run on java so it is close to real time and anyone on site can post in it. That doesn't need a messenger and if it slows just refresh the page.

Re: Echoes of the Past Tournie Discussion Thread
I have plans for another subgame that'll follow directly on from this (not time-wise, but set in Vos after this tournie), so if you want to grab a few autobot players and hit up my MSN whenever you can, I'll see if I can't get them organised too - it's better for me to help than for no one to, right?

That is what I am saying, if I can just get them all in one spot long enough.
