So it's obvious the war room is nothing more than a place for us old fogies to tell our war stories like.... a thousand times over to each other, so let's do just that.

So my favorite two experiences are:


1) I was ringing for Roman at one point. Murphy's was about a month or two old at the time, and we were either fighting Vengeance or Bloodline or someone else, hard to remember to be honest. So in the middle of the match I'm getting pelted by multiple AV, I do my usual retreat, shoot stuff and be a general slut, when I hear a buzzer go off. We're getting torn apart at this stage, when I realize that I've got an apple pie baking in the oven, and I have to apply the top of the crust. Torn between turning the battle or saving my pie, I go to the oven and pull out the pie, put the top on hastily, then put it back in the oven.
After I return, I notice Roman managed to pull the match back, so I go in and we win. The pie was delicious and worth it btw.

2) This was during the Dark Legion massive land grab stage. Basically what happened was they threw a bunch of attacks and got defenses they couldn't field, so they call FA in to field an attack, I was to be the FC of this fight. Ares asked if we could field an attack at 0100, but we couldn't because we had a fight at that time. So we got a fight at 0200 I think. After we get our match done, most of our guys log off, and I'm trying to form a team, with well over a half hour left to form, or so I thought.
I get the ferry in the chat, and I've got about ten people in squad and ready. I remember Shepard Commander, Ace, Hakyou and TTW being there. I'm trying to get some alliance guys in and I ask the ferry the ETA on the fight.

Ferry: It's right now...
Me: What?!!!! I was told 0200! We should've had more time!! Ferry, get aces squad and the other one in there now!!!

He gets them in there, I'm scrambling for dudes, getting anyone I can at this stage. I then get a sitrep on the battle from Ace.

Ace: We just got D, but they're almost in our armor.
Me: Oh god, hold up we're getting in.

I scramble a crap ton of guys to try to five cap the enemies. We manage to hold a five cap long enough to catch up towards the end, and I'm frantic at this point.

We have three points, yet two are going to flip. They have two, and one is going to flip. One null missile will decide the match. At the last five seconds I recall saying: "I swear to God if we win this, I'm buying everybody hookers". We win with one tick left and the energy is explosive!

I once hid in my ADS from any real fighting and instead spent my time destroying neutral installations for those sweet sweet WPs

I'll never forget losing to AE because of Dwater.

We had MCC. We were going to win. Clones were low. People stopped spawning in. We ran to the redline.

A few died. One guy was left. Dwater. We had one clone.

We told him to ditch his tank and run for the redline.

He wanted to save his tank.

Then he got assblasted by Rail shots to the rear.

AND COMMS WENT ******* CRAZY.

Not lagging in pc.

I also forgot about the birthing of the CBM.


















CBM... *nods head*

I've never wanted to cunt punt someone so hard in my entire life... and it wasnt a rail shot that killed him.. it was a fucking orbital because he had his tank backed up to the spire on our side of the map.

One of my favorite PCs was back when i was Ceo of GAM and we had a PC vs 0.H . we had 10 GAM and 6 Pure Evil guys it was at lag map too. we ended up winning by half a tick with about 3 clones left. The last 5 seconds of the match everyone got dead quiet and stopped moving. The screen went black and then the victory screen appeared and everyone was screaming and after the PC finished we all stayed on comms to talk about the PC for about an hour.

Favorite personal moment tho? Crashing my python onto tall profac tower and giving Roman the pilot logi people's elbow as Parthok watched from above (doing nothing to help) during the Tso's War. Oh and Kaisar's GG FA comment was a good one too.

Did some digging to retrieve this, had to share.

Story summary:
Attacked VU hub. Won first battle, reup won second, reup again go into third. Hard fought, MCC down to mere ticks. We both clone each other out with a tick left. Suspense waiting for black screen. VU gets the V, but there's 0 clones left altogether for both sides. Leave battle screen, go straight to starmap. District is vacant. Both teams spam clone packs at the hour mark, we get the district. VU tears break the CCP support ticket dam and flood Tranquility. We are having a ball in corp chat, drinks all around. I wake up the next day to the following emails:

Hi Senior GM Arcade here,

This message is being sent to inform you that the ownership of Muttokon II - District 7 has been changed. It appears that your corporation came into possession of this district despite losing the battle that preceded the ownership change. Despite losing the battle you were able to successfully move clones onto the district approximately 1 hour later and thus take possession. That the defenders of the district won the battle should have meant that no such movement of clones should have been possible.

It appears that you were able to take possession due to a bug in the underlying game mechanics. This bug has been brought to the attention of the developers who are investigating. We have refunded your corporation the cost of the clones that was moved to the district, this should be reflected in your corporation wallet journal.

We would like to pass on our apologies for any inconvenience this ownership change has caused. Hopefully you appreciate that when a district owner change is made outside of normal game mechanics then we need to intervene.

Best regards,
Senior GM Arcade

Hi Senior GM Arcade here,

We have received word back from the developers that as the clone count in the district reached 0 then it was allowable for another corporation to move clones onto the district and thus gain ownership. As such my previous message may be disregarded.

Your corporation is again the owner of the Muttokon II - District 7. The 120 clones that you purchased for the district are in place and as such we have removed the refund that my previous message indicates.

Please accept my personal apologies for the mistake in removing the ownership from your corporation. The mistake was entirely mine.

If you have any questions then please update this ticket. Should you prefer that the questions be answered by another Senior Game Master then please indicate as such.

Best regards,
Senior GM Arcade

Basically, GM Arcade thought he would take the initiative and switch ownership. Then, he got the ultrabent by devs. This is the only time in PC history that this situation ever occurred. To this day, I want to be in VU corp chat when the district was subsequently removed from them and given to us.

Favorite personal moment tho? Crashing my python onto tall profac tower and giving Roman the pilot logi people's elbow as Parthok watched from above (doing nothing to help) during the Tso's War. Oh and Kaisar's GG FA comment was a good one too.

I remember back in the day when i was in dyst0pian, back when us snipers were good and hated. We was warring against Red Star, 17 days straight, i think we lost like once. 17 days straight we held our district.

I would be the lone Mountain overwatch, man i miss those days.


But on topic; One time we were 4 cappin them, only a few of us died, had to go SMG because they were flooding the mountain. We just straight bodied them down to 1 clone, all that was left was their CEO and dy5topia forbade us from killing him, so we just ******* chased him around the map shooting at his feet until we got him just outside the city. We trapped him in a circle, the comms were like a mosh pit of laughter and yelling. The guy would run around, trying to shoot us until he ran out of ammo and then just would melee. He killed one guy and everyone just heckled and laughed at his dumbass.

I remember getting a few shots on his nuts before dys just walked up and just meleed him right as the tick fell. It was hilarious, we had a party afterwards.

You're saying dystopian corp beat R*S for 17 days straight??

LIES

Maybe not 17 days straight, because I remember Red Star calling on the Generals. But we did not lose the war.
