Ever since weapons and brawling were fixed all our old reference tables have been fairly useless. I'm looking for some civic minded preds to help in a few arena matches.
I need 3-4 level 0 or 1 pred commanders willing to repeatedly reset their bots and fight, in the arena, Decepticons with identical configurations, for the purpose of determining at what level of strength will it do more damage to punch and kick than shoot.
Matches would be as follows:

Pred: 1 strength, unarmed vs. 'con: 1 strength, unarmed

And this would be repeated with different levels of strength and different weapons. At the end, both the Preds and the 'cons would have the resulting data, making it easier to put together a winning configuration.

So, any takers?

There need to be more Predacons period.
I still have plenty wiper fluid to use. :p

Anyway, do you really just need Predacons for this? I mean, wouldn't low level Auotbots and Maximals be the perfect vic... I mean, volunteers?

No. I don't particularly want to give the Autobots or their inbred cousins the furrys any more information than I have to. Since most (or possibly all, I'm not sure) of the preds came from our ranks, this way we can keep it as much "in the family" as possible.

Preds have proven to be the second-best at the logistics of this kind of thing.

Do I need to remind you that I was an Autobot before becoming a Pred. My answer to you using us as Guinea Pigs is a big @*&# NO!
Sides who's team are you on.

Let me quote myself on that one:

This is a Decepticon operation; Respect your elders!

If you're worried about casualties, relax, I'm putting my own team up as canon fodder for this one, and I'm hoping to bring son other 'cons in on this, and I was hoping to have all participants use the same configuration to make it easier to calculate the results. It won't be a one sided battle.

Should've just pm'ed Bun-Bun and co-ordinated it with him ...

MasterCroc - Allegiances aside, if you'd thought before posting you'd see that the data gathered would have benefitted both Predacons and Decepticons.

But hey, you don't want to know what set up causes the most damage? Enjoy your life splashing around in the mud slowly advancing through the game while those who took the time to research surpass and then use you as a meat shield.

I think I may still do that if this is the general response I get.

well since Commander Burn put it that way. Alright I'm game. Sides if it helps me get my guys to where I want them with their stats. Not that I'm looking forward to slaggin you rustin antique Cons. I so hope that DStrike doesn't read this. He's been a little upset at me for going Pred and not Con.

Well MasterCroc when are you going to learn to respect the Cons.
I really don't like it when you do stuff like this. behave. If the Cons can help you improve your Preds let them help. I'm sure DemonStrike can work out some sort of deal with them. Besides Cooperation between 2 group works out in the end. That and Dtreet's talked with DStrike on that matter. He's cool with it.

Find for me an almirant anything, Tif. Please.

Hmm, your initial wording could have been better Whiney...

I'm definitly cool with this and encourage any Preds that can to help with this.

Whiner, PM me the details of what exactly you want to acomplish and I'll see what I can help with.

Who are you callin Rustin Antique MC. If it wasn't for us Cons in the first place you wouldn't even be a Pred. We came first you we created. Like DemonWolf said I'm cool with you being a Pred.

And that is General Burn, Vice Admiral Tammuz, and 2nd General JP to you.

OH!

by **DtreetViper2** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:14 am

Um DS. You forgot King or Queen Tif.
MC what I beleive the thread is asking for Testers. People who are willing to try the new weapons out with differant stat configs. That I believe is all its asking Whiner just missed worded what he meant.

by **MasterCroc** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:35 am

Alright I get the point. So help us out.

Second nothing, we all know who wears the trousers here.
And no, Burn, I was wearing trousers in those pictures. Tight, ass-hugging trousers, but still trousers.

It's not what you wear, but how many stars you have on your shoulder.

Sorry JP, you lose. All hail Lord Burn!
