So... The Five Armies tournament is back on. Any mission ending in a 0 or 5 counts. Prior to the reset, we were doing very well by using guerilla tactics, only entering tourney missions we were sure we would be able to fill.

We need to keep that up; we were on the fast track for at least 2nd place in the tourney and I don't want an early exit.

Humor an old man but let me see if I understand this. Basically any mission ending in a 5 is what we look for?

5 or 0

So who else is in on this tourney? Are we just seeing how well we do in a time span?

The tournament is for all four factions. With each mission ending in 5 or 0, the winning faction gets one point, and the losing faction loses one point. Any faction reduced to 0 points is eliminated. The last faction standing wins.

I'll be back to helping out as I did before

So where do we post our logs? Are you keeping track of it for us, Rat Convoy?

You don't have to post them, the ones running the tournament are keeping track of the scores in the HMW forum. If you need help with one of the missions you can post it in here I would think then we can get you some help of possible.

Man is it just me or are we getting stomped in these missions? I just don't get it.

Geez, the Cons are making a comeback.

Guys, we're getting demolished. We're down 21 missions since the tournament restarted. If you see a tourney mission at a time when we haven't been filling other missions, avoid the tourney mission. No point in giving tournament wins away.

I agree. I've been staying away from them unless its already like 1/3 2/2 2/3 like that, but i have seen a few that have been 1/5 1/6. I wish there was a way to get in contact with all those who don't visit the forums.

The hard part about it is I keep seeing them with 2/6 3/6 1/6 and I throw a bot in hoping I will see more. Also, If there is one that gets generated while i'm on the mission screen, I throw one in because well someone has to start filling the mission, but not many back us up sometimes. The problem is that not enough people are supporting the missions. Either because there aren't enough on or for some other reason.

If there's already someone on our side in a mission, you might as well throw in as well. It's a guessing game, I know, but generally if you are seeing other missions not fill, then the tourney mission probably isn't going to fill.

But here's one for our side:

And all I know is, that if the Predacons can pick up ground, then we can. We generally kick the crap out of them in missions, we just need some more organization.

Maybe we can all hop on MSN or something to coordinate. Might be something to think about - I'm off to bed in a few but I should have a pretty solid block of playing time tomorrow. Deadboy06798@hotmail.com is my MSN.

Good to see they are filling on our side again

I don't know, i've hardly seen anyone waiting in the arena since the restart. I've used the arena some, but i only use it when theres not a tourny mission, and when the only available mission is under 6 min with me going up against 6 cons.
