B does have the best chance of killing a lot of Clanners.

AmyL: Aug 8, 2013; Black Thursday was a disaster, plain and simple.
We lost too many good people, too many planes.
We can't let that kind of tragedy happen again.

Let us C this to the end!

GhostStalker: Mar 26, 2010; Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Gotta go with C, the saga of now Leftenant Korean Robert, the office chair, and (possibly) Rozinski Ami is too good to pass up, plus Yakuza as well.

Also, ha Star Commander Drumf ran away. Fitting.

MVP votes:
Player MVP: Jagermom for being the most dangerous mech and changing the game with those clutch (head)shots and Golden BBs
Honorable Mention to the Mauler, for turning around the north after being given up for dead, wrecking two mechs and getting the Secondary Objective done to get the Monitors in play
OpFor MVP: Summoner for doing some decent damage and continuously being a threat before getting his head blown off at the end there

C sounds like the most fun scenario,

C. Leftenant Robert might get Battletech'd, but it's the most interesting choice.

Oh man.

Mauler because holy cow what a nailbiting stand. Although Jagermom was awesome in performing well past what anyone thought reasonable.
Stone Rhino As it ended up dictating the flow of things to a disproportionate extent.
C because office chairs!

# ? Sep 4, 2017 14:13

Viva Miriya: Jan 9, 2007

Oh yeah Jagermech because lol, Stone Rhino because lol it scared all of you and dictated most of your movements.

Player MVP: Kickass Harpsicord's Mauler
Opfor MVP: Muikaibo's Jagermom! Taught the clanners the error of their ways and escorted them to the afterlife, that's pretty valuable.

Buddy what match were you watching? Those are both players. :v:

For the next combat theater I vote C

# ? Sep 4, 2017 15:19

Crazy Joe Wilson: Jul 4, 2007; Justifiably Mad!

Option A, let's see some Clansmen in action.

And what is happening in the Homeworlds? I remember Clan Wolf being reborn, and the Homeworld Clans declaring the Widowmakers dezgra, but did all the invading Clans get abjured as well? Where was that update?

Sparq: Feb 10, 2014; If you're using an AC/20, you only need to hit the target once. If the target's still standing, you oughta be somewhere else anyway.

Player MVP: Jagermaster for unexpectedly lethal dakka.

Opfor MVP: Summoner, as it was active all match putting the players on their toes.

And I vote C of Crit them all Robert

Strobe: Jun 30, 2014; GW BRAINWORMS CREW

There's a roughly zero percent chance Korean Robert fades into the dustbin of history after this mission you guys, but you only get one shot at a glorious last stand.

Dying forgotten is all the Clans deserve. When the last Clanner lies forgotten in a ditch the world will be better for it.

Ar-Khan Alaric Ward is going to be enjoying his cushy throne on Tharkad pretty soon.

Who am I kidding, that'll be the Falcons.

In all serious-ness I am beting the Lyran Commonwealth actually survives 3150 thanks to all the Clans dogpiling the Republic.

Robert's gonna get battletech'd round 1 you'll see. no one man can carry that weight of expectations.

If a player in Vote A gets BattleTeched in round 1, they're actually contributing to player victory!

But that's hardly Die Gloriously, right? Do the players lose if they die ignominiously?

Unless I'm missing a few votes I currently see it as 31 for A and 45 for C (B has like five but who cares). Dang. :smith:

Natty Ninefingers: Feb 17, 2011

A. Here's hoping that dying gloriously equals a trial of absorption. The Horses would make one hell of a good RCT or two.
