    We had a blast last night. We'll work to improve things that need improving going forward, but in the mean time, I'm looking forward to our more laid back blast-em-up on the 9th! :D

    Hey Rangers, any chance of getting that canon Raven variant you were running with the NARC last night?

    I don't think we have the latest zip, the Blackburn folks built out a bunch more. :)

    Pappy as agreed to my suggestion on creating a taskforce within the Rangers in order to help smooth out these Campaign missions between the SoR and the Rangers. I'll be heading this taskforce myself, and it'll consist of a couple more Rangers. I figured this way you'll have a list of contacts who are part of the taskforce, and who can act as moderators for the Robinsons, without having to play hide-and-seek in order to contact us.

    I'd like to apologize for taking this long to actually step up and take charge over on my end, though I feel now is a decent time to do so in order to make sure things are organized in the future.

    Not a problem, I actually thought things went pretty dang smooth, considering we only got through 1 and a half or so matches the first time and 3 this time. :D

    I feel posting it here would be appropriate just in case everyone within the SoR heard about what happened.

    We certainly didn't hear anything bad down in our channel or over the in game chat.

    Anything that can be done to smooth out the running of missions in the future I'm all for. :)

    Amusingly enough, one of our guys - who was slightly drunk at the time - said that the first Campaign mission was actually more organized than this one, despite the constant crashing. But then again, the first one we had three moderators present, rather than one. Which as a moderator for non-battle tech related forum, can be a huge annoyance when you're the only one fielding.

    True dat, big factor.

    I will say, that the first time wasn't as clear on our side, because some information as left out (like having to protect our "dropship" the entire time so it wasn't captured). :lol:

    Yeah, I feel that with this taskforce that I mentioned fully to you that we'll actually be able to get things set up and everything will hopefully run smoothly in the future to the satisfaction of both sides. I'll keep an eye over here, and will keep you guys updated with further information once I've got my three guys selected.

    Dihm, I'm going to need four people from your unit to act as moderators and back up moderators. I would prefer role-players, although I'm unsure of how many players you have that are role-players, though if you have people who like to help feel free to send them this way. I'm currently setting things up on my end.

    EDIT:

    If you're not a role-player, and would like to help, that is completely fine as well!

    I remember the guy who broke communications silence when they weren't supposed to. The comms down started out beautifully, however one of your players showed up a little late and didn't know about the comms down for five minutes. It wasn't really a big deal, I let your unit leader at the time deal with it, which it was.

    I was very happy with the comms down exercise it went very well, something I will have to use in future missions.

    Question for Avery: I've made another couple of Canon Atlas variants that are in the timeline I'd like to use. Would you gentlemen like the file? We've all heard that there is an updated mech pack out there but none of us have it, and I don't want to feel like I cannot make other TRO variants simply because we not on the same page, variant pack wise.

    Due to somethings popping up in real life, I'll be unable to make it to the skirmish later today, though typically it would be a huge deal if it was something to do with the Campaign, in this case it's not.

    Thanks Rangers once again for the good times on 5/9. Much fun was had, much blood was shed, and overall we learned an important lesson:

    Devastators = win. ;)

    Looking forward to next time!

    Edit: Also, congrats to WarWagon! ;)
