All right you lot.

I know how long it takes to get yinz to decide on anything so lets get this ball rolling now.

If/When we win HC's event what Alt mode should we ask for?
Burn/Psych haven't said if a new one is on the table so for now let's just stick to Con ones we'd like.
List a couple you'd be interested in (even if someone has already suggested it) then we'll do a vote on some of the more popular ones if/when we win.

Suggested Alts:

Personally,
I'd like to get their Aerial rescue vehicle

or the Opportunistic Air Animal Gryphon

Alt of HC's beloved Suspiria

Strong Air Animals Dinobird

As predicted we're 8 points away from winning this thing... and despite posting this days ago none of yinz have have responded (except on fb which, considering was not at all serious [lookin at you 007

] doesn't count)

Really, does nobody want any new Alt mode (or at least one from the other side)? :-?

oooooooooo.

It's a shame Australia Day has already happened this year.
(**** it, I could just make up some bullshit holiday/event to include it, no one's going to research it)

Imaginary holiday for an Imaginary land...
Sounds reasonable :-P

Mon Apr 20, 2020 5:36 am

Meme-roo sounds like a plan to me.

Mon Apr 20, 2020 7:11 am

Or if you wanna keep the Roo for your own devices & the Alts from the thread are in play I'd really like the Diagnostic Drone...

(link for the non-watermarked version)

Mon Apr 20, 2020 3:42 pm

Well Burn,
Looks like that's all the interaction there's gonna be so not much point of a vote.

If we can have the Roo we'll take it. (Annoying Land Animal?)

If you want to keep the Roo for something else but we're allowed to have a new Alt: the Diagnostic Drone please. (Don't care what Alt Class. Light (rescue?)Vehicle or Gadget seem most appropriate I suppose)

If we're stuck with Alt's already in the system: the Gryphon, if you would. Seems fitting to take what is HC's after beating him at his own game. I seem to be developing a pattern of that...

Is that the final decision? Anyone else want to chime in?

Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?

Heavy Vehicle? Satellite Truck.

I'm a little confused ... if you guys mustered so many players to win, why are there so few nominations?

Or did two people do it all on their own?

Come on guys, I'm wanting to do this for you.

Tue Apr 21, 2020 6:53 pm

Well, you got me. And TT. and Phase (begrudgingly). 007 was the only other Bot that made claims and he just wants a lawnmower (that doesn't exist in the Alt. thread).
There certainly seemed to be an uptick in players during that time so I hoped others would speak up but it hasn't worked out that way.

Maybe people have the mistaken view that they needed to participate in the contest to have a choice in this.

Speaking for myself (and since I did post the majority of the claims I think that should hold some weight) I don't mind sharing with the faction.

ANY BOT can speak up if there's something they want.

I'd much rather we get something to encourage the rest of the faction than just more lulz for myself.

I think for me, that while the 'cons have some cool/iconic alt's which I like to look of, I still wouldn't use some of them for my team.
That aside, the 1 alt that I would use is this:
778 -

- Battlecruiser

Wed Apr 22, 2020 2:53 pm

Sorry Burn, I even kicked the Bot fb chat and got no new takers.

Added a poll to the first post.

Fri Apr 24, 2020 4:46 pm

Welp.
Poll has been up for 2 days, doesn't seem like we're getting any more votes.
It would seem the Sat Truck wins

Huzzah! A decision has been made!

Disregard the third vote for the Kangaroo, apparently "View results" doesn't work either. :roll:

So this is the winner?

Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:10 pm

It would seem so

News Credits: 226 · Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:20 pm

Out of my hands now as to whether it shows up.

Looks like it worked
Thanks Burn!
I tapped Phase over on faceypage so she can enjoy

Sat Apr 25, 2020 12:03 am

aaaaAAAAAAAAAA

Thank you Burn!

Let's all take a moment to take in the fact that it **** worked for once.

Sat Apr 25, 2020 9:55 am

Well, At least semi-worked.
It seems the Cons have access to it as well instead of just us...

FOR **** SAKE! I don't know how the **** that happened. You can see from the screencap it shouldn't be possible. Stupid **** code. ****!
-edit-
This is a **** joke.

Sorry guys.
-Second edit-
Sorted it. There are fields for start and end dates, even though it was marked as unavailable to the 'Cons, it still became available as there were values in the date fields.

Removing them removed the alt. I'll see how many 'Cons have it and ask them to remove them.
