Our initial server population when we take over a server will consist of the people who hop in to the Black Steel Brotherhood Teamspeak server around a half an hour beforehand. Contact me about the server address.

See you on the battlefield!

Uh, great thing Houruck. Sadly, I´m not good enough for you guys

[Houruck]

Just as the American one, this Fight Club is open to everyone. You might not win this but I plan to continue it in a weekly format where you can find opponents on your skill level.

[DeVact]

Count me in!

My Recruit and I are looking forward to it!

Though now I have to use an item other than shield that comes with my recruit for the first time ever.

Personally speaking, it always makes me much happier to see when someone new to Fight Club joins in, or someone who is 'less skilled' hangs out and gives it a shot! Fight Club is all about having fun, not seeing who is 'most competitive', and I personally do my best to support that kind of atmosphere in the server and with the fight matchups, and I have every reason to believe Houruck will be doing the same.

How will you look at stopping people from using Countermeasures_ They aren't visible to players and you can't guarantee people NOT using them.

[Gookywun]

Also if you need commentators, spectators or even broadcasters for the event i'll put myself in!

You may surprise yourself. I usually don't start playing at my best skill level until someone who's really good steps in. It's all about your state of mind. Focus on your movement, your positioning, your environment, your opponent's movements, then your aiming. You can get all of these down with the right state of mind.

Besides, there's no requirement that says "you have to be this good to qualify". Get your ass in there and give it a go, underdog.

@EVENT:
Awesome event Houruck. True dedication to the game shows. Awesome work as always erathic...and Hawken didn't even have to commission you for all the posters XD

You're right, you can't. Ultimately we'll just have to trust the players.

Yep, one day. A little "thank you" note with a 5k MC gift wouldn't hurt though.
Then again, I still think it's cool that a lot of people lend their talents to the game's community to make it better. One of these days, I might decide to do some photoshoots of pilot portraits. I know some industrial theme sites around Long Island City in NY then just PS a mech in the background. One of the sites is in my profile pic.

Jesus, Erathic. As a fellow graphic designer/illustrator, you never fail to impress. Your work is inspiring.

But,but,but.... No Shields_ You all know how much I love my shields!

I suppose I'll have to be less cheesey, and just stick to the EMP/EOC
