I know he wont, but it never hurts to toss the idea out.

Never hurts the first 500 times mabye, but it's an issue that has cropped up more times than I care to mention since the forced reset, and the answer has never changed.

Anyway, we're still waitign for some maximal responces. I'd wager that Zordon will be up for it, but are there nay other takers?

Zordon's already said he was up for it.

Coolio.

He and Windstalker are the only ones still bothering to track kills at this point however, so it'd be like 6 Preds fighting 2 Maximals. Hardly seems fair.

Sure.

I am too, i just haven't had any kills to report on.

And you also now have 3 Maxis who will go for a round 4.

Well that sounds like a good start at least.

With the once again aparent scarcity of Maximals, I sujest we go back to 0 and 5 missions only, but it looks like there are people on both sides willing to play. It's now up to Wingspan and Psychout.

the maxi's need stronger units. if anyone needs build help, i can lend a hand. also wingspan and fefe have awesome medic builds if they want to share.

ya'll need to coordinate time on if possible. hit us with a heavy opposition all at once.

Honestly, I think that isnt their bigest problem. I think their biggest problem is, after months of lagging behind everyone else, they simply dont have the xp to compete with the rest of us.

And we all know the best way to fix that, and it wont ever happen because no one cbf for V1. "V2's coming out soon! It'll be good then! We would know! "

Awesome. More competitors are welcome.

Beyond kills, maybe changing the way the wins are scored? Only wins with 3 or more Maximals count for the preds, any win counts for the Maxi's maybe? Skews it in their favor and puts us behind the 8ball, but we've utterly dominated them thus far, so it seems fair to me.

No.
You have equal rules on both sides. It's one of the most basic rules of thumb for tourni running.
And to up the minimum number of combatants will result in a very boring round with virtully no counting missions.

Call it a handicap match, as the Maxi's are handicapped. It's like Andre the Giant squashing 2 or 3 people in a single match.

Round 3 is done, and there are votes for more? I'll respond to that shortly.

First, Part 4 of the story is ready. Are you reading? Know the Brightsoul has been found. Also, the whole story is being sequenced in a thread in the fan-fiction forum. Use that for all referencing needs.

Second, the below is the blurb that wasn't written in time for Round 3. Red, could you insert just to keep things kosher?

Word of the Predacon assault on the key Western Maximal Base Camp has rippled through the Maximal faction. Re-organizing, they are prepared for a final effort to breach the Wastes from the North and take control from the Predacon campaign. Rolltide, captain of the Crimson Fists was set to defend against Predacon walking over the Northern border. Now he organizes the counter-effort with the remaining support from The Pack, the Maximizers, Feral Rain, and the Kaijubots to perform the counter-assault. Their final effort will determine the fate of the Wastes.

As the war has intensified so has the tensions between a small collection of warriors as the Brightsoul Matrix has been discovered! Four Beast Warriors – Predacons Archistrategos and Zadakiel, Maximals Airstorm Alpha and Ghostbusters – now flee from the catacombs at the heart of the Sonic Wastes with the matrix in their possession. The unexpected pack now cooperates to survive the defenses laid before them but are unaware that Predacons Bitchkrieg and Redlock of Exitium wait outside to claim the matrix by force from the discovers.

The Beast Wars will change forever as the Brightsoul Matrix is revealed!

Thirdly, I'm processing Round 3 now. Once done, of course I'll post. Then, perhaps some deviousness can be applied to the continuation.

To those who've asked, I'm getting better as is the little man (although being referred to as my spawn is quite amusing Psych). Just had to cuddle the dude back to sleep a minute ago though; still a very much uncomfortable baby.

Glad to hear you're feeling better, and I've added the blurb.

------------------------------------------------------

Well, didnt I do **** in this round...
Thanks towork and my regular Monday pub visit, the only times I was able to play, the maximals were nowhere to be seen (not helped by the fact that in the last three counting missions I was in, I dominatated and had one of the two available kills stolen each time)...

Well, you'll find some surprises in the Round 3 results; go there and review for yourselves.

Consensus is there will be a Round 4, and therefore 5. However, these will change drastically. The story arc as originally planned is complete through these Rounds - it's a matter of writing it down properly.

So Beasts, what have you gotten us into?

Edit: Round 3 mission totals were off; AZ noticed the numbers didn't mesh. Something in my sleepy state borked the filtering in Excel. Updated info is in the Round 3 thread and the updated summmary is below. Also, I figured out kill counting. We will likely always require the posting of kills to count, but we can easily validate your claims.

Round 3 Faction Winner - Predacons
Predacons (41 missions won), Maximals (3 missions won)

Round 3 Maximal Champions
Team Overall - Transtech Rhinox, Zordon (2 winning mission participation each)
Character Overall - Equinox, Rhinox, Airstorm Alpha, Thunder Tank (1 winning mission participation each)
Wasteland Slayer - Windstalker and Colonel Brawn (1 stasis locks as posted), Zordon (3 stasis locks as pulled from sheet - post them next time you ninny!!)

Round 3 Predacon Champions
Team Overall - Absolute Zero (16 winning mission participation)
Character Overall - Rikou (5 winning mission participation each)
Wasteland Slayer - Absolute Zero (25 stasis locks)

Hey all, just like to apologize for my ineptitude. I have had no idea what the frag I'm supposed to be doing (n00b) and then I lost the thread somehow. SORRY! My 'bots have been getting into missions and that, but after that I've had no idea what to do. I don't know if this has been covered earlier or elswhere, but howsabout a quick headsup on the rules/instruction for me and my fellow newbies?

All story pieces are sequenced in the fan-fiction forum - keep checking here to keep both narratives and summaries in order. Link.

Overall champions are posted and G1 singups are up. Rounds 4 and 5 will be executed including all factions. Link.

Let's have some fun, shall we?

wrong topic

Sorry I didn't get back to you one-on-one Chronic, but we had some details worked and needed to get them out there. Want to get to slagging ya old timers ASAP.

Now, if you worry your evil minions may miss the deadline, let me know soon. Same to Bot commanders; we want a fair chance to get some paybacks. SO.....

If by midnight EST today (02:00 GMT on the 14th) there is concern that many of the possible G1 players would be missed because of the current signup deadline post and adjustment will be considered before the deadline lapses.

Current Deadline: Saturday, 14th, 20:00 GMT

Do I get a trophy/ribbon for killing maximals?

*edit* Also, for honorable mention should be Red for twice having a character with the most individual wins.

Absolute Zero wrote:*edit* Also, for honorable mention should be Red for twice having a character with the most individual wins.

Dang, I meant to include that. Snibbits and horse radish.

Technically, I had 2 different charecters top the first two, then Redlock once again topped the third, but that was joint with al oad of other charecters. They kept missing kills, but they cirtainly proped up the victories!
