Hey everyone, just wanted to say nice job in the simulator! Loving the fierce competition, rankings are close, and I’m having a hell of a time pulling a thousand Bullseye covers! Happy hunting on those robots of doom (or justice, depending on how you wanna roleplay ;D) and see you on the (simulated) battlefield!
I’m really glad to see all of the names are ones I recognize. Granted I haven’t looked at any rosters but I’m guessing none of those are 20 people alliances with half covered 1* characters on them.
Yeah, it’s nice to have a healthy competition going on, especially amongst the stronger players. What that’ll say about the Lone Star tournament though… only my zero 1* characters will say 
This picture is really useful for showing that when we have over 2M points, the last digit won’t fit on the screen anymore for all teams
This could easily be fixed by trimming the section that has the alliance name; with a 14 (IIRC) character limit, nobody can have a name that takes up more space than MMMMMMMMMMMMMM, and I doubt that’d take up twice as much space as DjangoUnbuffed
Although i could just go like
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I’d just like to point out the difference in the mentalities/team conversations that went on in the top three teams so far during this event.
S.H.I.E.L.D:
Okay, we’ve got one member AWOL but he’s super famous so it’s okay, we can count on him to swoop in like Batma- er, moon knight. The rest of us are just going to have to knuckle down and play as laid out in this spreadsheet that’s maximized for the best possible point gains
For those interested (and I know all of you are interested), the exact formula for rubberbanding is contained in these series of photos that are for eyes only.
Sleep is optional, set your alarms and synchronize your watches… now.
5DeadlyVenoms
Screw that megaalliance S.H.I.E.L.D . We’re the little guys, but our symbiote theme makes us the BIG little guys.
If you see a shield player in PvP it’s kill on sight, let’s show those assholes they can’t steal our players and get away with it!
Besides, everyone loves the underdogs, we can show those elitist pricks who’s #1
FittedKitchens
we all live in a fitted kitchen
a fitted kitchen, a fitted kitchenlolololol this never gets old I love this team
honorable mention to Ace of Blades, whose team chat I don’t actually follow but I’m pretty sure looks like:
It’s healthy shit-talk, at least from me it is. I enjoy every single player inside of S.H.I.E.L.D and I’ve known them forever; been on the forums since the first week with most of those asshats (<3), and I’ve taken plenty of #1’s fighting their teams, and them mine. All good fun, pleasure to have a competition between alliances so fierce though. Close standings.
P.S. If 5DV ever disbands, you bet your ass I’m high-tailing it to fittedKitchens. Seems like playing Intergalactic Planetary on repeat as I score points is the only real requirement, at least from what I’ve seen in the alliance forum.
I’ll throw one in for (my second favorite alliance)
DjangoUnbuffed
We had a happy action fun time and we’re in the top 10. Don’t know what all these other clowns are so worked up about. Now time for a tough decision, grind some more tonight or make some more kickass sig banners.
Taking out bitches until I hit 0 on the clock
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock!
Honestly. It’s like my girlfriends closet with them. I’m pretty sure every day, they start off with a 15 minute meeting of them looking at a folder of 1000+ banners and just going "hmmmmmmmm… hmmmmmmmm… okay, this… wait… no… THIS ONE.
I brought refreshments. c:
Symbiote theme?
They have one Symbiote. They also have Mags, Jugs and Doom making up the 5.
Their theme is people with buckets on their heads.[1]
[1] I had Bucketnaught and Buckneto but didn’t think Bucktor von Doom cut it as a third.
I just laughed out loud
Words hurt dude
Actually, I think we mostly felt like we worked our asses off, but we laughed a lot, too. And one of our guys got married, but still scored like 12,000 points! Ha! Beat that!
Ha that’s awesome, but I have to ask, does the bride (I’m assuming) know about the mpq mess she is signing up for?
Maybe it was an MPQ theme’d wedding.
…or maybe he married MPQ… 
Oh God… That’s not legal … is it? 
“Do you promise to grind, level, and purchase?
In good cascades or bad?
In low MMR and high?
In Bagman or C. Mags?
Till server crash do you part?”
“One sec… that’s right… take that red match-4, dummy… Ha! Crotch in your FACE!.. What was that? Oh yeah, I do.”
Just one more thing to add here…
ALL YOUR SINKS ARE BELONG TO US!!!
I am still working on my sig. FittedKitchens
Someone set us up the kitchen?
