So I'm kinda gonna be posting stuff whenever, based upon when I'm in the mood to write something.
Got too much free time right now.

All to say, don't mind me.

Weirdo · « **Reply #661 on:** 04 May 2020, 16:51:05 »

Hooray, more articles!

JadeHellbringer · « **Reply #662 on:** 04 May 2020, 16:52:30 »

I never did get around to posting the Hermes II or Predator articles, did I? I saved them to my work computer, but of course I can't get on that at the moment.

Hermes II when I get a chance, Predator I can pretty easily just rebuild and post sometime later this week when I have time. (The Mech, that is- I already covered the Predator tank,and it was a fun one)

Weirdo · « **Reply #663 on:** 04 May 2020, 16:54:11 »

I've always been wanting to write one up for the Copper and Inquisitor series, just keep not getting around to it.

GreekFire · « **Reply #664 on:** 04 May 2020, 18:37:30 »

So since I finally finished those ancient requests that I grabbed years ago, any new requests?
Preferably something obscure or wonky.

How about the Thunder Stallion?

I've been wanting to do it myself, but demands on my time make it ever more unlikely, if you ever want to try an article on the Copper and its apparent cousins in the Peacemaker/keeper and Inquisitor series.

Is it just me, or has the Bishamon never gotten an article, even way back in the lost archives?

Kojak · « **Reply #668 on:** 15 May 2020, 01:08:38 »

Just noticed the same with the Cadaver, which I found a bit surprising.

Really? I'm sure there was one, I even started one a few years ago and abandoned it because there was an existing one.

...or I drink too much and imagined the entire thing. Also plausible.

There might(?) be two more new mechs from RS:SW. The firefly isn't my kind of mech, and I'm not really interested in the flea. Anyone who wants to update those articles feel free; I'm not.

I'm taking a look at the Vehicle Annex and trying to get a handle on what I'd need to cover for that type of write-up.
I'm a lot less familiar with SecurityMechs, so someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we've never gotten stats for the:
-GS-54 Guard
-CCU-36 Pacifier
-IT-80 Inquisitor

Right? If that's the case I might just focus on the Copper/Peacekeeper/Peacemaker, since they all have a shared lineage, and leave the Inquisitor (II) for another article in case we happen to get the Inquisitor stats in a surprise product somehow.

I finally got around to getting the hard drive out of my old one and into my new machine. I just have to find the time next weekend to sort through the contents so I should be able to get that Peacekeeper article up soon.

You wanna work on one? Otherwise I'll tackle it.

Got the Gravedigger pretty much done on my end.

That's great, I love the Peacekeeper.

I've had someone reach out and request an article out of me for the Gunslinger, expect it up by the end of the coming week after I get back into town. I may also knock out the Flea, if no one else wants it- I've always had a soft spot for that goofy little bastard.

Awesome, go for it! If you include the Trooper you'll make me pretty happy.

Actually did the gunslinger a while back

Feel free if you want to make one better though.

JadeHellbringer · « **Reply #677 on:** 04 July 2020, 19:22:52 »

That makes that easy, if the article exists already I'm off the hook. I haven't had an opportunity to search the archive due to being away from home for a while due to a family matter.

Flea is up for grabs as well then!

anyone want to do reservations for rec guide mechs and updates?

Waiting for the moratorium period to finish before reserving 'Mechs; don't want to claim stuff the moment they come out.

Diplominator · « **Reply #680 on:** 31 July 2020, 17:54:12 »

How long is the moratorium period? I've been out of of the game a minute but I have Opinions About Things.

Jellico · « **Reply #681 on:** 31 July 2020, 18:22:02 »

I have been meaning to page Trace to do the FotWs for Golden Century. I am too close to be objective.

Moratorium period is 6 weeks, meaning that Recognition Guide 1 is now officially up for grabs.
If anyone wants to do the Dominator - go for it!

Diplominator · « **Reply #683 on:** 31 July 2020, 19:09:42 »

I would like to claim the Dominator, then.

Kojak · « **Reply #684 on:** 02 August 2020, 03:17:31 »

Looking at the list of 'Mechs with no articles...I'd love to see one on the Lobo. Also, some kind of Ostroc/Ostsol double feature would be pretty epic.

Firesprocket · « **Reply #685 on:** 03 August 2020, 14:46:47 »

I am going to try and get the Peacekeeper up this week. I started revising it on Friday night and forgot to save it. Power went out overnight. Started working on it again only for the power to go out twice more. Recovered most of it, but the took the hint and stopped working on it until the storms pass and stop knocking out my power.

Diplominator · « **Reply #686 on:** 04 August 2020, 13:25:23 »

I'm about done with the Dominator, too. Will anyone mind terribly if there's two 'Mechs of the same Week?

I have a monstrous first draft kicking around on my old computer for just that.
Only reason I never refined it is because I was (and still am) waiting for the new art before finishing it.

wantec · « **Reply #688 on:** 04 August 2020, 16:24:41 »

I got bored last night and today and work was slow waiting for programs to run, so I whipped up a Lobo article

GermanSumo · « **Reply #689 on:** 04 August 2020, 17:04:49 »

It seems the Exterminator doesnt have a writeup? Or did i overlook it? (That new variant looks really tempting... like a taco ;D :D). Im not volunteering. Just asking.
