    SUNDAY!SUNDAY!SUNDAY!
    JULY 9th, 1200 EASTERN TIME! COME JOIN THE SKJALDBORG BIG STOMP DAY!

    I'm looking to organize a Skjaldborg Living Legends Big Stomp Day. In the mean time, everyone check out the link here to get the game (the process is a lot easier than it used to be), and try the game out for five or so minutes to see how it feels. I'll include a YouTube video of the subject to catch you up on it.

    For me, it's far more important to know what time you have in mind for when to start.

    I'm trying to narrow it down to days that work for people first, then I'll get the time down. I'm extremely flexible, minus the days I do physical therapy, which are on Mondays and Fridays for right now. Those start at 1330 Mountain Time and end 1500 typically. I don't get home until 1630, but that's still early enough for some people it's not an issue, so I can do almost any day.

    Wish we could tell how many people voted.

    Either our votes are spread very wide or there are a lot of people who are fucking ignoring the A&E threads again. :commissar:

    I'm going to go with the most voted for days. Either way, that will encompass the most people, since you can only vote for one day once. I'm thinking it's leaning towards the 7th right now, but that depends on how my Monday goes. If it turns out this new VA schedule is pretty rough, I might have to do it on the 9th, but that looks like it works out for the most people as well. I'm going to link this in Discord as well, though I don't have Announcement access. Probably just plop it in general.

    I would recommend that you create a new event for it that clearly says what day and when it will start. Just so that there are no risk for misunderstandings.

    Then someone with permissions can post a link to the event in Discord and then a reminder as we get closer to the day selected.

    Yeah, that's going to be the updated one. I just wanted a feel.

    Isn't that what you say to get people to stay AWAY from something?

    Don't worry, I have a terrible habit of forgoing any vehicles at all and just end up zipping around the battle field in Battle Armor like a crazy flying squirrel. But yeah, I do spend a lot of time in the tanks too!

    Downloaded, installed, and configured. I'm running around on the test server to see how things handle and play with the controls.

    For those curious, this was a blast, I had a lot of fun, and I do like the mixed arms approach which really makes this feel more solidly in the Battletech universe some of us know and love. Not saying I don't like MWO, but this fills a niche MWO doesn't.

    Thank you Benjamin the Rogue for organizing this. Without your push and the 'borg's involvement I probably wouldn't have checked out MWLL and seen what had changed and the potential it has now that it has been revived.


    For those interested in future events and game play in MWLL I have been digging through the wiki checking out various options for assets I might be good with. While random brawling with us on either side and randoms dropping in is okay, it is a lot more fun when we are working together and utilize tactics and some strategy.

    Obviously we are a good way off as we are learning the ins-and-outs of the game (like how to deal with air-assets) but I think we could have a lot of fun working as a unit. I personally am working towards my preferred "Scout", "Support" and "Shoot-n-Scout" roles I tend to be better at. If someone will bring the LRMs, ELRMs, and ARROWIVs I'll try and bring the TAG and maybe some C3 for added information. Looks like mostly Lights, but I am looking for larger mechs/tanks for late game that can still handle some of that role.

    Thanks again Benjamin the Rogue.

    MWLL went extremely well, with little issue. I say we make it a regular thing. My mighty long tom needs to give more of you the rainbow connection. ;)

    See, and this is where we will need some TAG as it can only help you focus in your fire from artillery. I'm digging through every asset in MWLL for things I think I can pilot and offer targeting/scouting info while adding in some firepower.

    I say we run with our SoR unit tags next time and playing together as much as possible.

    Hah! Figured out why people were damaging themselves with LongToms.

    So our own defenses were blowing them up as soon as they left the barrel, even where we were outside the base, but not far enough away.
