House of Laio

By a good magin too =)

Glory to the houses! Republic and Faction Scum must be crushed by a true original force of the Inner Sphere! lol

Winning by 6% isn't THAT good of a margin.

7%, actually. Up by 2% from last month. Looks like House Liao's finally picking up steam.

Actually Tkrys, neither of us can read.
Liao 57%
SS 43%

That's a 14% difference.
And that is good.

Another give away? More propping up of a dead faction so those few players who like it don't feel so bad? Out of 16 venues, only 4 around here were won by Liao. Obviously the Northeast is greatly out of proportion with the rest of the world.....

Or maybe someone in the office just felt bad for Liao going 0 - 5 and felt they needed some help......

Oops. It's late and I'm barely awake as it is, not to mention high off superglue fumes (had to glue part of my glasses back together until I can get new ones). But yeah, Liao's definitely picked up steam. :grin:

Ever notice Liao only wins if the other side is severely handicapped?

-1 damage to all ballistic attacks (bye bye SS arty advantage)

-1 attack to all ranged combat orders (every SS mech but 1 now has a 9 attack, that 1 has an 11 for 1 click, then goes to a 9)

In the straight up fights, Liao never wins, because people do not like them.

Also, the difference IS only 7%. If Liao goes down 7%, the SS must go up that same 7% to keep the total at 100%, the total difference is 14%, but the margin of victory is only 7%, pretty close for a biased campaign.

Note, both times they've won are against the descendants of Davion as well, lol

ever notice when a faction is soundly defeated its supports must whin and cr it was how lop sided the match was? Laio was just as handcaps in this match and if your whining becuase SS's arty was made less useful what does that say about you as a player? in my area Laio won all 4 of there matches. i played in two and won one lost the other by 1 vc (15-3 Vc's in total)

Liao stinks and I am tired them. This last one "sword of betrayal" is so severely lopsided that a faction pure force has next to no chance of winning it against Liao. We have playtested and playtested, then evented it and at our venue SS did not win a single game.

Enough Liao for crying out loud, they were featured in Liao Incursion, and have been in every Counterassault event so far as well. They have more LE's than factions who have been here for 2 years.

Gebus

The reason is because it is a House, and not some group of civilians who where given weapons, and many people find them popular. They are probably used because of popularity, and the fact as I said before, they are a real FORCE, not some faction of a house.

Look Yes im just as annoyed playing laio vs ? every month as you are, The last event was very lop sided for SS And i CHOOSE to play as SS, I took 5-3-1 In vc's Losing over all but coming in first for SS. I believe that there should not be one faction fighting the same other faction Time after time after time again. Id like to see every possable Combination of factions fighting each other in a Ladder match kind of enviroment. Have 4 events for two months the two more month of winners vs winner of the first round and losers fight the losers so on and so forth. Wizkids needs to do something to get more people into this game. Im sick of watching my venues dry up from bored players tat want to quit becuase its not fun anymore, Hell im almost at that level myself. But then again every thing seems to have gone downhill ever sense it became wiztopps anyway, or am i just imagning things?

Quick question, what does 'wiztopps' mean? I'm not the most informed on some abreviations...

WizKids, the company that makes Mechwarrior Dark Age was bought out by the company Topps. So people now combine the name when taking about the company.
