Annual Megabattle Thread of Doom v2.011
« on: October 02, 2010, 03:28:24 AM »
Well, it's that time again...   :o  



The event is about 6+ months out.  We are looking at a few dates currently... End of May'ish

We are going with a very similar rule set to the one we used last year.

The only change with respect to scoring at this point is that there will not be any mobile objectives (no free guy).

We are gunning for 60 people playing on various, themed tables.  Probably 10v10, 5v5, 5v5, 5v5, 5v5.

4000 points per person.

Converted / scratch built models *must* be finished and presented to the event organizer(s) at least 1 week prior to the event or it can not be used, no exceptions.  We are going to be strict with this and I'm probably going to hurt peoples feelings.  Here's the apology 6 months in advance.  I'm sorry.  I hate being a DB, but when it comes to the Megabattle sometimes I have to be.  :(

Players will be required to pay the entrance fee at time of registration.  The fee will be non-refundable.  Only after payment is received will your name go on our list and your spot reserved.  Once registration is open, we will take players on a first come first serve basis.

Remember, this is just the preliminary, fun, goofy, Megabattle thread.


Can of worms = opened.

Have fun!

I cannot wait! Perhaps at this year’s Mega Battle my Emperor Titan will shoot more than once! It was still a fun time.

Are we set at 4000 points still?  I thought I heard talks of it being upped to 5000....  Or maybe that was just wishful thinking... :D

Yes, it was just wishful thinking... sponsored by about a dozen or so people.

This year's Megabattle will be 4000 points per person for sure.

He cares not from where it flows, as long as it flows.

I would like to think that as our god-machines hammered at each other, they took pause between each swing to give sideways glances at "the other guy" on the end of the table.  Much like one would look at the weird kid down the street.
