How much did you people on the Merc roster get paid, I am wondering?

Knowone requested any gold for the battle, but we usually offer c-rpg gold for high stake battles...

[Tears of Destiny]

Aye, I've never requested compensation when fighting for the Mercs. It is a treat to participate in their strat battles considering how collected, pleasant and organized the TS is.

Well no-weapon (fist) battles can be overcome.  I was in the battle of Mazen and we had pelt coats as defenders and no weapons, none, zip, zilch.  We were able to gang up on one attacker and get his weapon and from there we slowly started arming our whole defense, if we had 50 more tickets we would have won the defense after starting with no weapons.

It can be done, but it requires ganging up on one or two people and just punching the hell out of them.  Also, you get good at chambering really quickly when that's your only way to block an attack.

Ye its a shame I werent there. 4am is a little late for me though. 
Didnt do badly it seems with 16 players and NA ping though.

[Slamz]

man I did not know there was a competition! Did I at least come in 4th!

Let's see -- you were 12:4 for 180 Strat gold.  A respectable showing -- you came in 6th (out of 30).

If I ranked purely by kills, though, you were tied for 3rd place with Turboflex who also got 12 kills.

I try not to make it TOO much of a competition, I just like to think up ways to reward both "high KDR" and "high kill counts".  You make more money going 12:4 than you would going 20:20 under this formula.


I assume most people aren't in it for the Strat gold anyway but I feel people should get something out of it, particularly if they do well.  I've used a different payment system every time.  I think I like this one; I'll just have to tweak the numbers to get the level of payout we want.

Woulda had that prize! But I never spawned with the right equipment. First spawn, no helmet no gloves. Second spawn, no gloves. Third spawn, no gloves, no spear. Fourth, no spear. 5th, EVERYTHING WOO- games over -_-
