Highlighting the February 3338 Birthday (3) Rainbow
According to some ancient legends, the rainbow is a symbol of peace and a promise of end of strife. According to other legends it is supposed to lead you to some Gold.
To give some festivity light and show the peacefulness of the competitions, the gaming authorities decided to have a Rainbow event.
Admittedly, some tops were more peaceful than others. On some others the competition to get a Gold, or any other prize for that matter, resulted in shots being fired and Mechs (temporarily) downed.
My contributions here was almost non-existent. What I did was charge one of my team mates with going there and get me some footage and notes.
When I looked through them later I found the winners had been:
[Highest leveled Commander in Division]
- Div 1 [357] (19 Commanders): Fabio Favaro, Warlock (2m,26s)
- Div 2 [275] (15 Commanders): Justin Verret, Leviathan (1h,16m)
- Div 3 [180] (7 Commanders): Joshua Eifort, Northwind Dragons (6h,58m)
- Div 4 [148] (20 Commanders): John Thorson, Northwind Dragons (6h,54m)
- Div 5 [118] (28 Commanders): Peli Huijari, Smurf War Patrol (4m,34s)
- Div 6 [91] (15 Commanders): Shawn Lindsell, HF: Dragoons (4h,51m)
- Div 7 [71] (15 Commanders): John D, Death`s Curse (4h,9m)
- Div 8 [57] (13 Commanders): Jesse Launda, M.P.A. "Rangers" (6h,10m)
- Div 9 [36] (12 Commanders): Mal Wheedon, Night Hammers (3h,25m)
- Div 10 [28] (9 Commanders): Rick Sask, Borg (6h,24m)
- Div 11 [] (0 Commanders): ()
- Div 12 [14] (9 Commanders): Rafael Trzeciak (4h,59m)
Total Contestants: 162, Total medals claimed: 140 (of 180 possible)
Compared to the Birthday Chrono we had nearly a doubling of the number of contestants (74 more showed up here)
Unfortunately the divisions were set up in a way that made them pretty uneven, K3 + K10 +K 12 had between them fewer contestants than K5 alone, and K11 was totally devoid of participants.
This resulted in one Gold, four Silvers and thirty-five bronzes being sent back for resmelting.
The last half hour saw just two Golds change hands. Eight of the remaining nine were held for more than two hours.
That is not to say it was a dead event. Some brisk struggling took place for the lesser prizes, as one can see from the number of medals held for more than 30 minutes in this event:
.............Silvers......Bronzes
Div 1 ....1 of 4.........7 of 10
Div 2 ....0 of 4.........8 of 10
Div 3 ....4 of 4.........2 of 2
Div 4 ....4 of 4.........8 of 10
Div 5 ....0 of 4.........3 of 10
Div 6 ....3 of 4.........6 of 10
Div 7 ....3 of 4.........6 of 10
Div 8 ....4 of 4.........6 of 8
Div 9 ....4 of 4.........5 of 7
Div 10 ..2 of 4.........3 of 4
Div 11 ….N/A......…..N/A
Div 12 ..4 of 4.........4 of 4
The most action filled top, and the only one where more than half the medals changed hands was K5. Action on the other tops was less intense, and on K3 there wasn't even one successful attack.
Northwind Dragons was the sole clan to claim a double Gold this time. They did so by laying claim to K3 and K4.
No unaligned winners managed to triumph here, neither did any of the Chrono winners get a follow up win.
