For the astrology thing if you fancy it (and as I'm not much into astrology apologies if I've missed some deep significance in the labelling...)

2H ⇢ do you have any object that you like a little too much? what is it and why? (or just one that you like a lot; I'm not really sure what "a little too much" would mean in this context...)

7H ⇢ what do you consider green flags in a relationship?

Hello there!

No, don't worry, I have no clue about anything regarding astrology... my friends have tried to explain charts and other stuff to me at least 3 times, and I still don't know what an ascendant is, so...

Onto the answerssss

2h- I get so attached to many random objects and for the silliest reasons... like idk it's just like "this objects is mine, there are thousands or millions of these in the world but THIS is mine and is special" for example:

My mum's paper knife. It has a heart-shaped handle and since I was 3 I've been obsessed by it. Like idk when I was little I would imagine I was some kind of magical warrior and that was my special weapon or something. Btw it's mine now, my mum can't have it back, that's my special magical weapon.

My red gel pen, beautiful red and it's very good and CHEAP. Idk why but it's my favorite. I already made a post about it here rambling about a teacher who took it and then I took it back lol

My two stuffed animals (a polar bear and a weird looking husky) since I was little I decided they were boyfriends and they were my favorite plushies. Still have them, still good and cuddly

A plastic horse named Alessia (I broke both of her ears) she was my favorite toy since I was 2 and the main reason I had a horse phase

My mechanical pencil. It IS special even my classmates agreed. Like idk perfect shape, grip, weight, just perfect all around. My dad gifted it to me after someone gave it to him, his words "you will need it more than me". I once lost it (I then discovered a classmate stole it so not really my fault here) and I found a picture of the pencil online and put it on the students' board and even offered to buy the breakfast to whoever would find it and give it back to me. I am deeply attached to that pencil I swear I felt so bad thinking I lost it (also because I looked at the prices online and I felt even worse). But then I found it again so yayyyyyy!

I feel very childish after this answer... onto the next one we go

7h- hm...

Hmmm relationship as in friendship I'd say when you can catch up after long periods of time after not being able to and still not feeling it. Like "omg when was the last time we talked???" "Uh... oh gee a month???" "Waaaaaah crazy! So by the way...." and then it's like you never stopped talking.

In a relationship as in a romantic sense, I'd say: When they don't force you to tell your secrets if you're not ready, but they let you know they're there for you whenever you are.

You can be stupid together

If you feel like you can communicate freely about anything without feeling judged or out of place. And when the other(s) in the relationship do the same. Like idk I've been in a relationship and a "situationship" and I'm still friends with those guys because we communicated for the entirety of those experiences. I would not get back with them, ever, but we parted on very good terms... so I guess it worked out even if in the end nothing came out of it. Moral of the story "STRAIGHTFORWARD AND HONEST COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY" (if not for a successful relationship, for a guilt and stress-free breakup) :D

Sten Hugo Hiller - KOTM October

Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat

Brought to you by ANN, A News channel for Mecha Combat

Highlighting the October 3319 20ton

Another Climb on K3, It would be the fourth this month. Hopefully I would get a medal and be on my way to one of the special rewards. I was busy bashing Xerxes, and then Drocah at Yomi, so I arrived at the mountain With just a few minutes until scramble started. Jaramillo, coxon and C Mainer would probably be the hardest opponents. Having a quick look at the stats made me grim. Christine had gotten some New moves, and would be much harder to hit for some time. On the other hand, she was underweight. Even if the Axebots were front and center I felt I could glimpse Ants and Anzus in the rear lines. Me, I was pure Shoclite, Old-fashioned and cheap, but they have the saving grace; they work. I was climbing rapidly, Wreckage of underweight and overweight formations lining my path.. I was at the slopes now and readying my supers I challenged Christine. It was a fierce fight, and I had only 4 mechs left, about 65 armor points between them when her last mech fell. She came back and kicked my butt, but I returned the favor. This could be an epic fight, seemed we were about evenly matched, she had more mechs and better footwork, but my uniform formation had worked together for years. Someone else tried to get in but was chased away, and I waited for Cristines counterattack. Perhaps she went to change load out? but while I sat there the light flashed. I looked at my chrono, only five minutes. Those who stood at the top this time to get Gold, Nephilax and Tougher Climbs were:

Div 1 (27 Players): Sal Vezzosi Jr, FUSION (19m,20s) Div 2 (13 Players): Mark K Penner, Zeon (16h,38m) Div 3 (29 Players): Sten Hugo Hiller, Star League (1m,43s) Div 4 (39 Players): Caitlyn Mainer, Star League (1m,52s) Div 5 (25 Players): JohnM723, Guardians of Bunny (26m,34s) Div 6 (32 Players): Jack Travis PHOENIX (5h,34m) Div 7 (35 Players): Jack Wade, Mad Pork (4m,59s) Div 8 (29 Players): Patrick T Kennon, Lucky Lightening Club (6h,9m) Div 9 (23 Players): Morgan McCallum, Heroes Light Brigade (2m,27s) Div 10 (14 Players): WilyKit, Bad Santa`s Horde (7h,10m) Div 11 (10 Players): Michael Walker (2h,24m) Div 12 (3 Players): Brick House (14h,48m)

Total participants: 279, Total Medals: 160 (of 180 possible)

Participation is going down. Thight brackets in div 2 and 10, in the lowest divisions the lack of players are reaching ridiculous levels, div 12 had two unclaimed silvers this time.

Fighting closed after about 5 minutes, might be some were playing the waiting game, or perhaps those at the top were too strong. During the 5 minutes four Golds changed hands. On the other hand six gold were held for hours.

Star League was only clan to claim two Golds this time, WilyKit only Warrior to get consecutive gold. Two unaffiliated players got gold in the lowest divisions, Could be they receive invitations before Squad wars start.

I was at the top! Officials brought me a new Nephilax and a gold medal. The rest of the clan was cheering Caitlyn, and I thought I should join them.  Then from behind came another gold winner ;Mark K Penner(#676274) of Zeon. He asked me to join him and get the plans who were back at the HQ. Anticipating an interview I followed him. There was a huge crater on our way, and I could see debris from hundreds of shattered mechs strewn around and obviously not cost-effective to repair. Once At the HQ we disembarked and over a few glasses I got my Interview

Sten Hugo Hiller  You has had a long and distinguished career. Your first appearance in the KOTMs was back in `77. Same year you fought in the CW for the Omegas. Then in `91 you went to a New clan; Zeon. who have become the second strongest in this Galaxy. Could you enlighten our Readers on the background and perhaps some highlights?

Mark K Penner I'm not much of one for dates and times, but I'll give it a try.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Dates and times are not really necessary, but more like why Zeon was created and why you went there. I think you were the driving force, but I could be wrong. Any big triumphs, bitter defeats, that kind of things...

Mark K Penner Zeon was started by T.j. Ritter and he made it the 3rd most powerful clan in MG at the time he stepped down. A lot of what Zeon stands for is because of his guidance. Zeon continues to fight where we are placed. We do not play games to adjust our levels and we continue to be an Independent Clan.

Sten Hugo Hiller  And you have brought it up to be the second most powerful. You won Your first KOTM gold in the May78 Fire and Ice Chrono. Since then you have gathered 62 Golds, Correct?

Mark K Penner By my count I have 63 Nephs.

Sten Hugo Hiller  That is the problem, I took of shoes and pants but couldn’t count that high. You have enough Nephilaxes to fill my formation twice and still have some left. Which of those Medals is most special for you, the first the last , the next or another one?

Mark K Penner Actually it would be my first time taking a KotM Div 2 win. It was the first time I ever got too participated in Div 1 (June 3288). It was also the first time I won Div 3 (April 3288) followed by winning Div 2.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Worthy accomplishments and good play. Now I guess even a legendary player as yourself have a preference for either the limited or the unlimited, what is it for you?

Mark K Penner I prefer Unlimited non Chronos. But I enjoy the challenge battling in a Division other than my own. Winning a Gold in Div 1 is my Goal.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Who doesn’t have that goal, I think I can do it around 3652 myself. But you say Nonchrono event. Does that imply you are not a big fan of the Chronos?

Mark K Penner I either get to the top and just ignore them because no-one can touch me or I have to continuously battle to stay in the ranking. one is boring and the other is too much continuous work due to RL.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Yes same way for me ,except that part of being untouchable. When it comes to limited and you, I think of weapon types. There might be a Fire and Ice you haven’t placed highly in, but I can’t remember any. Are weapon types your favorites among the Limited formats?

Mark K Penner I think Fire and Ice are my favorite of the weapon type KotM. But I enjoy Missile also, especially now that Missiles are faster.

Sten Hugo Hiller  You have done quite well in Rainbows also, what is your take on them?

Mark K Penner Rainbows come down to formation building and properly equipping mecha properly. This is what I enjoy most about MG.

Sten Hugo Hiller  The third general type of limitation is weightlimit. When it comes to tonnage do you prefer max weight or mechtype, say Imech or 30ton?

Mark K Penner With specialization I now prefer the limited gateways or the Max Tons. I don't participate in a lot of the Mech Type (iMech, Oggen). I just don’t keep many of those in my inventory because I am a Niode player.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Some have complained of a lack of resources to fuel the leveling of all their mechs, are you feeling the pinch?

Mark K Penner Yes, definitely. When the Developers decided to expand formations into specialist formations, and now the 7x6 grids, the additional mechs and upkeep became difficult. Making sure to take advantage of the Upgrade Sales has become very important.

Sten Hugo Hiller  What, there are still players who upgrade outside them... Not enough mechs yet probably. Another recent change was the reduction of bronzes in the divisions from 13 to 10. While this probably won’t affect you directly, what are your thoughts?

Mark K Penner First It does affect me when I'm in Div 1. lol I think if participation in KotM is low that it is a good move.   I know it is low during these quick events. I think that when the events are longer and participation is higher that it should go back to 13.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Yes but hard to know in advance how many participants you get. Getting back to The KOTMS. If you could make a New KOTM what would it be?

Mark K Penner I actually think that KotM are pretty well represented. However, I think that a Chrono KotM during CW that something like Anzu or Hoplite would give those not in a Clan something positive to do.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Yes, Nice touch, of course last time that happened, you and the bunnies made a truce, so it would not necessarily work. Last question; Many will look at you with bigger hero-worship than ever after your latest win. What Mechs/Equipment/weapons would you recommend?

Mark K Penner We only made a truce to allow the KotM to end. I really think that a KotM Chrono that lasted the 5 days of the CW would work.  There are many good mechs. I would recommend matching mechs with equipment and weapons and placement of mecha into the proper place in your formation can make the difference of how well your formations do in battle. If you have to choose to buy Niode equipment I would buy shields first and engines second. The saying Speed Kills is correct and a positive thing in MG. When doing Raids, Crit-Kill is a valuable tool. Take as much advantage as you can.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Thank you for your Insights, I am sure our readers will appreciate them.

Due to technical difficulties this report came in after the end of the following event.
