Highlighting the February 3338 Birthday 2
Sometimes the gaming authorities throw a spammer in the works.
Here they launched an unlimited Chrono during the festivities. And a really short one to boot, just 8 score rounds.
I was away and busy doing exercises, but I managed to get a bootleg copy of the fighting. Not much, just enough to see the winners this time had been:
[Highest leveled Commander in Division]
- Div 1 [357] (15 Commanders): Fabio Favaro, Warlock (+430)
- Div 2 [206] (4 Commanders): Caitlyn Mainer, Avengers of Bunny (+240)
- Div 3 [151] (14 Commanders): George Warren, Northwind Dragons (+2560)
- Div 4 [111] (10 Commanders): Chris Page, Death`s Disturbed Asylum (+1240)
- Div 5 [84] (5 Commanders): Brian Wilson, Smurf War Patrol (+1360)
- Div 6 [69] (9 Commanders): Naehan Montales, Smurf War Patrol (+1910)
- Div 7 [56] (4 Commanders): Carl Cash, Death`s Acolytes (+2440)
- Div 8 [40] (10 Commanders): DZHowes, Night Hammers (+720)
- Div 9 [30] (8 Commanders): Dizzy Cat, Borg (+40)
- Div 10 [20] (4 Commanders): Nico Lest, cylons vs bot 2 (+340)
- Div 11 [16] (2 Commanders): Bugz Ono (+340)
- Div 12 [10] (3 Commanders): Daniel Luques (+510)
Total Contestants: 88, Total medals claimed: 88 (of 180 possible)
It could be that some of those returning late to the tournament field and saw it was a Chrono elected to sit this event out.
The number of contestants was anyway reduced by eleven compared to the first birthday event, and as a result eight Silvers and eighty-four Bronzes was returned for resmelting.
A trio of Commanders; Carl Cash from Death`s Acolytes on K7, Smurf War Patrol`s Brian Wilson on K5 and George Warren from Northwind Dragons on K3 managed to join up immediately and keep the top positions against all comers.
George Warren also had the highest margin to the runner up, 2560 points.
Lowest margin was on K9 where Dizzy Cat from Borg had a mere 40 points advantage
Lowest score needed to get a medal this time was 0. That was enough for a Bronze on K3 and a Silver on K5.
Otherwise, the margins between the medal tiers in this event was:
.....Silver to Bronze....Bronze to nothing
Div 1 ….…..80......…….N/A
Div 2 ...…..N/A......…….N/A
Div 3 …...1960......…….N/A
Div 4 ...…..200......…….N/A
Div 5 ...…..N/A......…….N/A
Div 6 ...…..600......…….N/A
Div 7 ...…..N/A......…….N/A
Div 8 .......2160......…….N/A
Div 9 ...…...600......…….N/A
Div 10 …....N/A......…….N/A
Div 11 …....N/A......…….N/A
Div 12 …....N/A......…….N/A
Not a lot, and shows again that the early joiner have a big advantage, especially when the Chronos are as short as this one.
Smurf War Patrol was the only clan to get multiple Gold. They secured the top prize from both K5 and K6.
Two unaligned Commanders took the two lowest tops:
Bugz Ono on K11 and Daniel Luques on K12.
George Warren got Kicked up one top and managed a second win in a row. So did Brian Wilson, but he was kicked up TWO tops.
Bugz Ono is one of the real veterans here in Mecha Galaxy
His first appearance in the climbs was as far back as the King of the Mountain II back in June `62. But after the Red Ant Rush in May `67 he withdrew from competitions, until he resurfaced in this Birthday event and won his first Gold.
At Level 15 he probably uses the 9-Mech Egeria base.
His energy Budget is 30, he have Advanced his mastery of cannons a bit and can safely pilot a Megazome.
