The Official Disgruntled Brits: HMW takeover thread

It's been a while since I've started one of these up, so excuse me if I'm a bit out of practice.

Welcome one and all to the latest attempt by us crazy British types to take over something or other. Today it's the turn of a certain transformer related game. Low Alloy Conflict is it called? I'm not certain but we have people who will do the whole research thing! (Go team!)

Right now it's time to set some goals and outcomes we hope to acheive here.

#1 ODB takeover of the interwibbles - one thread at a time.
#2 Presteige points - these can be awarded in a number of ways including but not limited to: Pounds sterling, jaffa cakes and XP.
#3 A Spotlight: Stalker comic from IDW - this is a joint project along with the SAS (Stalker Appeciation Society), for more info plese contact either SAS Chairperson: Burn or SAS Treasurer: High Command. Wait a sec that's me and I don't want my pm box spammed up, just go and pester Burn OK?
#4 World peace.
#5 World domination
#6 Better goals and outcomes
#7 Nothing controversial
#8 Goribus Unbanned
#9 Better 'flu medicine - the stuff I have is useless.
#10 Pictures of you-know-who to be posted in every thread. No not bloody Voldemort! Who do you think I mean?

Right now thats all clear. Let's get down to business.

People in the UK timezones (that includes you JP!) post mission links and stuff so the big bad mod squad don't come and set fire to me in my sleep. Again.
Got a mission where you want some opposition or some back up, post it here.
And before the naysayers and grinches start saying "Oh but HC this is nothing new, there are already threads for this stuff."I'm fully aware there are. However what people may not be aware of is in other ODB thread there is a lot of HMW talk going on so having this thread here or HMW talk will help keep that thread for the toy sightings it's intended for.

Image. HMW has become something of a hot topic in ODB-sightings. Especially with Tekka's future 'project' mooning us from the horizon.


Red-- Oh, I got all the Jaffa you can handle. Not just the tangy cake-biscuit either :wink:



I'll put up some links next time I'm in troublez.


As for flu medicine; forget it. Get a cup of tea, add whiskey (dosed as you feel necassary), and drink it up. Stiff upper lip man!

not really, unless you start taking unhealthy amounts of either or have a liver problem, but then you really shouldn't be taking either alcohol or paracetemol.

or go chav and have an all night bender

or go emo and attempt to OD

in either case you probably would end up with a liver problem.

Anyone else that wants to join in, All missions ending in an #8 are legal. (Tarn is zone # 8 ) Winning team gets to choose the next zone to attack.

You have 24 hours from midnight (10 mins from now) to stop us Evolution Prime... :twisted:

I'm assuming same conditions as the tourney just gone past are in order. Unopposed missions do not count not do pred vs Con or maxi vs bot. Con vs bot, pred vs maxi, con vs maxi, pred vs bot all still counting. Or do we just want to keep this simple and stick to cons vs bots?

Lets make it everyone again. 'Cons/Preds vs 'Bots/Maxis.

Pick an 8 mission to start out with. Probably should announce it other than in here too.

I'm tempted to say we start with this one:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... ion_id=208
:P


However to be sporting it did start before midnight and has already ended with a con victory; so to prevent any boohooing lets start with:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... ion_id=238

Hurry up and get a bot in there!

Decepticons believe in efficiency. Accepting your surrender early will save a whole lot of time. 8)
