Themed Challenges and Hall of Fame

Entry format is kinda dysfunctional trash... 10WS didn't use to be a thing outside a few special HoFs until someone just randomly put some random stuff in their entry and that got copypasted and so on...

But what if someone were to cook up a quick text detailing proper submission formats - what does and doesn't belong in the submission, the proper way to link stuff and so on - and put it up on pres' site, perhaps under the "information" tab? This way, the next time we spot an inconsistency, we can simply point people in the right direction

You exaggerate. The only unnecessary thing in the traditional submission is the number of points in a solo. That information is never used for anything and we only record it for the sake of tradition (and because that's easier than editing all the HoFs to remove it). 10 WS and similar (like flawless, [v] and what have you) function as discriminators in some HoFs, but even they didn't, it's a valid piece of information that might be of interest to people perusing the HoFs in search for videos and such.

It's true that the format is somewhat dysfunctional in the sense that it doesn't give enough info. PHOF (and gold speedruns too, I think), have the kits, maps, weapons etc, but it would only be feasible to ask for all that stuff for solo runs. Nobody would post here if they had to list all that for a full team game.

In any case, it is what it is and it wouldn't make sense to poke at it this late in this game's (and this thread's) life.

There.

No one bugging you with Ariake?

Thanks guys for the kind words, I appreciate it, but you must misunderstood me. I'm not retiring, not yet at least. Maybe I'll take a short brake from challenges, I don't know. I do know however that I did one just yesterday but I have no time to upload the video today so I will WAIT with posting it

Also congrats Clyde on your N7 achievement. I can only imagine how much painful it was to finally stop leaving Volus corpses on Condor haha. It's a shame really that nobody in Biover thought about allowing us to play cross platform. Well, I guess you could always join the Mustard Race and play with controller support mod

Hack, Targets, Targets.

Obviously Targets on 6 is not the worst, but luckily I went into wave 10 with 2 missiles. Targets switched to Brutes, and the rest is history. I have a lot more thoughts but I'm completely burnt after that, so I'll come talk shit in the A.M.

I. Retrieval - Devices - Hack

Reading the conditions: QFI with Jav and QME with GPR, 40 HS and 50 assists it was obvious who would have to carry the load. So despite the QFI with Jav being one of my favorite characters, given that HT was hosting, I let him have her...  I always run my QME with a 36656 build. The 50 assists becomes trivial once you know that the TacScan gives you assists. IMO BW made a mistake by putting this power as an afterthought to the Arc Grenade.
As for how the game went, devices on W6 is not my favorite objective, to say the least. Also I was totally unaware what was happening with HT on extraction, or I would have send a grenade that way which would have meant he would have extracted, too. Hate leaving people behind... 

II. Targets - Devices - Hack

Conditions: Jug with Spitfire or GPS and BF3 Soldier with Valkyrie 150 Weapon kills or 100 tech kills or 100 melee kills... This one was real FUN. I love the Jug, though I understand why he gets a lot of hate, given the total ineptitude (and nerve: you got the Jug, hop to platinum) with which PUGs use him. I have to give a big Thank You to Arkhne for making me understand the best ways to play this character. Also, given we were playing gold, I could afford to role-play, so I chose the Spitfire instead of the GPS - hey, what's a guy suppose to do without some style?
A little comment on W6 devices (again ) : as a Jug I think you have two options for devices, either you draw the aggro away letting your teammates to take care of them or you do them yourself because with the turret and the small shield you can endure almost everything. And we got the W10 LZ Hack...
