Was considering whether or not to report him, but decided against it. Guess someone wasn't as nice to someone who didn't pick up on what he should've when reading the thread...

Also, now that my turn as a mechwarrior just finished, wonder how long I'll have to wait for my second go-around. Likely 5 years, give or take a year, I would think...

I never signed up to be a pilot because I thought I'd be too busy to ever play or wouldn't know what I'd be doing in two or more years.

It turns out I would have had plenty of time and the wait wouldn't have been too long.

Yeah, I waited to sign up for a while because I wasn't sure how long it would take for the waiting list to get around to me, and I had no idea how to play BattleTech, but when it finally got around to me, it was a load of fun. Totally recommend signing up.

I cannot, and I mean cannot, wait for Korean Robert to return. Because after the poo poo he pulled on Luthien, I kind of expect him to be the IS's equivalent of John McClane.

I really regret not submitting my Salaryman mech design for the contest that happened after that scenario. Though the rear-firing lasers designed to look like an office chair were probably a bit over the top.

This thread has given so much, I feel like I should be giving something back to it. Heck, sign me up to pilot. I'll try to get my mech destroyed in a crowd-pleasing fashion when the time comes.

Edit: I have PMs.

Korean Robert will run the Kuritan Resistance Cell on Luthien. On the day of Uprising, when Luthien reclaims its freedom, the last living Elemental on the planet will lunge at him, only to be shot dead by Taku, the 'Mechwarrior who has been gunshy ever since learning that his Jenner stepped on a small child.

I bounced around being annoying and had the scenario end right as my rear end got holed out.

Then I played skeet for a whole brigade of Mechs by going for a DFA that I now realize was probably put there to bait me but, hey, I had a shot at sending the fucker flying into the water. Hey, at least I drew fire for a whole turn.

Then I got called in to replace a missing pilot, got caught in a moat at a bad time, then ate some unlucky shots, dead in the water.

Got some kills in though.

I made this while you were asleep.
I faced down an invincible monster from another age while piloting a great symbol of Lyran martial superiority, and my sacrifice gave my commander the perfect moment to send that undead Cameron bastard back to the hell where he belongs - riding a PPC beam (all fixed in post-production, of course).

I can't recommend being a pilot for the thread enough.

I went Berserk and tore the arm off of a dread gigantic mech piloted by the ghost of a legendary age with its teeth that were specially inserted just for that scene of the movie. At that point, I had no idea what it would do when I ordered it, and was not disappointed with what happened.

I piloted an Atlas under the possibly the most powerful pilot and mech combo PTN has ever handed out and had my Gyro cracked in the 2nd turn. After much deliberation, I proceeded with my primary objective of firing every missile in existence at anything that moved. Somehow it worked out.
