Highlighting the February 3338 KOTM (unlimited)
Ah. The original event. No restrictions on what Mechs could be brought or in what numbers. Total tonnage allowed was what you had managed to put into the formation, and all weapons worked as normal.
I came out of a multi-day slumber and looked stupidly at the wall. This wasn't my cockpit, what was I doing here?
Some urgent calls from my body sent me stumbling to the bathroom to get rid of built up wastes before some accidents happened.
While I was there, a shower and a shave seemed to be called for as well. As I dried off some pains in my midsection suggested some caloric intake would be prudent as well.
After these details was taken care of it was time to see what was going on. I noticed the scramble would begin really soon so I hurried over and signed up.
Some warning lights informed me of desperately needed maintenance. I dived into it, but as they were done, so was the climb.
Luckily my automatic tracking cameras had gotten enough footage to determine the winners this time had been:
[Highest leveled Commander in Division]
- Div 1 [363] (26 Commanders): Bernard Johnson, Warlock (<1s)
- Div 2 [241] (17 Commanders): Robert C Goetz Sr, Death`s Collector`s (9s)
- Div 3 [174] (20 Commanders): Theo Peeples (13h,47m)
- Div 4 [132] (29 Commanders): Bob Goetz, Death`s Brethren (2s)
- Div 5 [106] (25 Commanders): Scott Abbott, Northwind Dragons (16h,45m)
- Div 6 [84] (26 Commanders): Glenn Forgames, Phoenix (5h,22m)
- Div 7 [69] (23 Commanders): Map Chap, Smurf War Patrol (47m,57s)
- Div 8 [54] (9 Commanders): Clay Munn, ARMORED CORE (20h,53m)
- Div 9 [41] (13 Commanders): Rick_Howes, Heroes Light Brigade(1h,47m)
- Div 10 [31] (17 Commanders): Seven_of_9, Borg (4h,15m)
- Div 11 [20] (13 Commanders): Clayton Retallack, Punishers Guild (19h,18m)
- Div 12 [14] (13 Commanders): Katty Mariana (16h,47m)
Total Contestants: 231, Total medals claimed: 168 (of 180 possible)
Compered to the recent Ant event we had five more Commanders showing up. A welcome addition, but not enough to fill out all the divisions.
A total of 12 Bronzes from 4 tops were sent for resmelting.
The last half-hour saw three Golds change hands, all when there was less than a quarter minute left. Seven Golds were held for more than two hours.
While at least some of the Golds were hotly contested the other prizes were not that popular as evidenced by the number of medals held for more than 30 minutes in this event:
.............Silvers......Bronzes
Div 1 ....2 of 4.........8 of 10
Div 2 ....3 of 4.........8 of 10
Div 3 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 4 ....3 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 5 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 6 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 7 ....4 of 4.........9 of 10
Div 8 ....4 of 4.........4 of 4
Div 9 ....4 of 4.........8 of 8
Div 10 ..4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 11 ..4 of 4..........8 of 8
Div 12 ..4 of 4...…...8 of 8
Four Silvers and five Bronzes changed hands in addition to the three Golds. Eight tops saw no successful action at all.
No single clan managed to secure more than one Gold.
We had two unaligned winners; Theo Peeples on K3 and Katty Mariana on K12. The only Ant winner to manage a follow up was Death`s Collector`s Robert C Goetz Sr.
