24OCT UPDATE: Paradox is helping us get the word out about our BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights! See you there!
13SEP UPDATE: You are each cordially invited to our Third BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights (FNF) starting tonight at midnight (EDT.). Feel free to drop by and join us on the FNF Channel on the BATTLETECH Unofficial Discord Server.
This week we will release an update version of the Unofficial HBS BATTLETECH Tournament Leaderboard. This Leaderboard will be joined by a "Top 50" Leaderboard for the Inner Sphere Wars BATTLETECH League. As well as a "Top 100" BATTLETECH Multiplayer Leaderboard that is a combination of both the Tournament and League Leaderboards.
This week also saw the conclusion of Valhalla's Tournament of Champions. A physical prize will be awarded to the Tournament Champion.
See you there!
09SEP UPDATE: This past Friday's iteration of BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights again surpassed my expectations. I will again be hosting our Third BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights this coming Friday.
Thank you to all this who dropped by our DISCORD channel, dropped into a BATTLETECH Lobby Match, or checked out our BATTLETECH Lance Commander Academy. The Academy ciriculeum will again include the following on Friday:
BATTLETECH 101 Lance Composition ~ explore tailoring a Lance to a desired play style
BATTLETECH 201 The BATTLETECH Stability System and YOU ~ mitigate against being Knocked Down, and explore tactics to Knock Down your opponent
BATTLETECH 301 Jump Cavalry: Fire and Mobility ~ BATTLETECH's TacSIM breaths Big and Stompy Life into Cavalry Tactics. Explore whether "Jump and Gun" is for you.
BATTLETECH 401 FULL UP COMPETITIVE GAME but with Talk-Through ~ we play an actual 20m Stock Match, but I'll freely provide an in-game running commentary and discussion of my Intentions, Tactics, Schemes of Maneuver and Combat Choices.
Any questions or comments are welcome in the thread below or via PM.
And as ever, good luck and good gaming.
05SEP UPDATE: The following embodies my hopes for this Friday's iteration of BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights:
Rulz of Friday Night Fights (FNF)
1.) Any and all Paradox or HBS VIPs are Guests and are to be accorded every courtesy. FNF is not a Q&A. FNF is not a townhall. PLEASE, NO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE GAME. FNF is where we ALL come together in fellowship and camaraderie to enjoy BATTLETECH gameplay. Help any Paradox or HBS VIPs feel at home in our Community. Guests who feel at home are more likely to stay a bit later, return for a future Event or even tell their friends they might like to drop by too.
2.) Please treat everyone with respect. Our's is a Respectful Community.
3.) Please be responsible for your actions and words. Our's is a Responsible Community.
4.) Please be welcoming and considerate of others. Our's is a Welcoming and Considerate Community.
5.) Have fun and be kind to one another! BATTLETECH is a game, enjoy it and have FUN.
It is my hope that everyone abides by these RULZ. But since "hope" is not a method, I and select others will have DISCORD Moderation Permissions to help enforce these Rules.
Any questions or comments are welcome in the thread below or via PM.
And as ever, good luck and good gaming. See you Friday Night!
27AUG ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:
PREFACE: I began BATTLETECH as a Single Player gamer. The Solo-Campaign and Skirmish Mode held me enthralled. Then later I joined our Multiplayer Community, and now enjoy both BATTLETECH's Single and Multi-player Game. With what is described below, I would like to offer you this same opportunity with the best possible chance possible of finding a fun match. Currently it can be difficult finding open matches in the BATTLETECH Lobby. It is my hope that this proposed focus on Friday Nights will assist gamers in finding better BATTLETECH gaming opportunities. :bow:
BOTTOM LINE UPFRONT: I would like to see our BATTLETECH Community (Single-players and Multi-players) come together on Friday Nights and share in some friendly Big and Stompy BATTLETECH gaming. But no one time would work for us all spread across the world as we are. So I propose that we look to our own Friday Nights and as we can, come together and enjoy BATTLETECH.
(*my ever-appreciative thanks to @SpOoKy777 for the above Work of MechArt / DeviantArt / Patreon)
PROCESS: Currently we have 296 BATTLETECH gamers in our Paradox BATTLETECH Group and we have upwards of 244 BATTLETECH gamers in our World-class DISCORD BATTLETECH Community. Understandably, many BATTLETECH gamers have membership in both groups.
I would like to leverage both organizations and offer all BATTLETECH gamers something new ~ "BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights." I'll post Friday Night Fight Announcements to the Paradox BATTLETECH Group Calendar and send notifications through the Paradox BATTLETECH Group Alerts and Email Chains. Our HBS BATTLETECH Unofficial DISCORD Community has already set up a BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights DISCORD Channel for us to use on Fridays to meet, greet and organize matches.
BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights will be held in the spirit Harebrained Schemes made possible for us... friendly matches.
I am not organizing a tournament here or a league, I am working toward identifying Friday as a time when BATTLETECH gamers know they can come together and game in all of BATTLETECH's Big and Stompy glory!
Friday Night first settles into place for our fellow Oceanic BATTLETECH gamers, so I suggest beginning 6:00pm (GMT+10 or thereabouts) so Friday Night our Oceanic Gamers kick off some BATTLETECH gaming that will roll across the globe bringing Big and Stompy goodness to one and ALL. I'll be dropping into our BATTLETECH Game Lobby through out the day on Friday 31 August, starting with Oceanic's "Friday Night," then making it a point to come back during the Asian, Euro and Americas "Friday Nights" as well.
If you have not yet checked out BATTLETECH Multi-player, these "BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights" will offer you the chance to do this that, hopefully with the greatest chance of finding the best, most enjoyable Multiplayer Game possible. As you meet and greet fellow gamers on the DISCORD Channel it is my hope you'll find like-minded and like-skilled gamers with whom you may see again on future BATTLETECH Friday Night Fights.
If you have not checked out BATTLETECH Multi-player lately, hopefully this gives you good reason to do so once again.
It'll not be ideal and it won't work for everyone, but if just a handful of gamers find a fun match even just a bit quicker, I'll judge this effort a success. : )
If you have any questions or comments, please include them below.
And as ever, good luck and good BATTLETECH gaming!
