People apparently don't believe that I have the most rotten luck of any player to ever play this game.

So now, whenever something ridiculously unlucky happens to me, I'm going to document it here:

Netgame - October 19th Year of our Lord 2002

Opponent: Hetzer
Ally: GMRexstreme

Hetzer lets rip with a Plasma gun.
The first shot hits, in the head, with a cockpit hit doing 33 HP damage to pilot.

For a while nothing particularly unusual happens except as usual my pilot is unable to hit the broad side of a barn. I'm used to that. HP returns almost back up to full in this time.

Hetzer then scores another Cockpit hit with with Plasma Gun. It is another cockpit hit. This forces a piloting check, which I fail. I fall, on my head, causing more pilot damage. Pilot is almost dead at this point.

Then life Life Support suffers heavy damage. At this point, shock damage puts my pilot out of my misery.

To add insult to injury, the titan falls on it's head again, destorying the now useless head servo.

Obviously I don't expect this story to convince you, but just watch as I add them to the ever growing archive, and eventually the insurmountable evidence will grow to show: This game hates me, and wants to make my life a misery if I ever stray from the factory into the battlefield =P

Yes, but you fell the last time cause I hit you with a pulse removing your head. (beams)

OK, by that point I'd stopped paying attention, seeing that the pilot was gonna die anyway.

Hetzer has the almost supernatural ability to hit your titans in the head from any possible distance. It's quite the pain, really. Heh heh.

(hastily erases pentagram and mops blood off floor)

Who.......Me?

Yes, you. The "harmless" old man. We all know you've sold your soul to Larkin in exchange for ungodly good luck.

Lissen up Tarand Elk Mirror. I've warned you in the past about telling the tr###.......err.............um...........those fibs about me (shakes finger). But to show that there's no hard feelings let me say how sorry I am about the headache that you're about to have (thoughtfully tapes two asprin to each round of AC20 ammo as it's being loaded).

... heh, korg is unlucky. I though I was most unluckiest player. I can do stand up without dmg and fail with 98%. I have never, in my knowledge, passed a 2% check. My BRGs all mysteriously only cause pilot check for 1 in 12. My pilots die for unexplained circumstances. (REALLY!!! my r torso is blown out, no dmg to life support, jock has full life, and it says i get shock damage and it doesnt roll jock damage, it just says hes now dead)

But I think korg's even more unlucky than me, cuz i do all this with less-armored titans and still manage to win a battle every once in a while.

I was once the unluckiest ToS player around -- but it was only when I played Lyhrrus. No matter how much advantage I had against him, something always got me. It was either a lucky critical that destroyed half my heat reg, or a failed 98% chance piloting check that threw my down at his feet to be mercilessly stomped, or something. I once played him about ten times in a row and lost every game. Other people could beat him. I could even beat the other people that could beat him, sometimes. I just couldn't win against him.

more proof to korgs lucklessness (theres a word for ya ) is virtually of his newer titans (the bait series and so on) have a crap load of armor all over and he STILL gets his head blown off by a few shots
