PACT 2.1

[Fox]

After the madness that was the first attempt at PACT II, now we finally get things right! They say that things get better as time goes by and this AC tournament is no different. Lotsa fun and geting to meet new people never gets boring.


The top three Ravens of the Republic. From L-R, Maitreya (third), NiX (second) and Lord_Leperman I, the reining monarch of Philippine Armored Core players.


The pilots of PACT II. From L-R (standing) Chaos, AEA1, Maitreya, NiX, Otakuwarren, Azuma-Blade, Beastkiller and Grimlok. From L-R (kneeling) Fox, Lord_Leperman, Serene and Clonezero.

AEA1 - You arrived just in the nick of time, doc! That shows real dedication to the game we all love so much! Sorry doc, talagang wala tayong laban pag yung mga first- tsaka second-place ang tinapat sa 'tin.

Azuma-Blade - Hahaha, galing nung laban nyo ni Leperman. I never would've thought you could tango with him like that. Now i can see why you love the FENRIR so much.

Beastkiller - Hehehe, ginawang bunker yung central buidling sa Advance Base. And i can see that the Republic's resident tankmaster is still going sharp. Man, i don't know what would've happened to me if i squared off against you.

Chaos - How was it meeting the rest of the Republic for the first time? Dude, it was great chilling with you and OW after the tourney. hope i can fight against you next time, even if its not a tournament.

Clonezero - Good game, comrade. Don't feel bad about the rank, i was stuck with pretty much the same situation at the first tourney and i can assure you that everythin'll get better from here on. Ang kulit mo pala sa totoong buhay, hehehe.

Doom Trigger - Where were you during all this? Hey, at least you were kind enough to trust us with your TV. Hope to see you during the next tournament or meeting.

Grimlok - Whoa, looks like you've taken over my previous job as marshall . Thanks for taking the time to drop by DT's place and getting the TV. Without it, i wouldn't want to know what would've happened if we had to use the smaller set. Well, looks like what you told me about my ranking after PACT I turned out to be prophetic.

Lord_Leperman - To the victor the spoils! Thanks a helluva bunch for organizing this tourney. Thanks also for offering to meet me for the ride earlier in the day. That was a surprise, i knew that you weren't planning on using Halimaw but i never expected you to use a lightweight. Congrats on winning the tournament for the second consecutive time.

Maitreya - A whole bunch of thanks for providing the venue. For a guy who took part in the tournament for the first time, you didn't do half bad. Congrats on taking the third spot!

NiX - For someone who hasn't played for a long time, you sure gave me a good whuppin' dude. That was a great match. IMO, your skills haven't rusted at all, they're still as sharp as they were back in PACT I. Thanks for the venue too.

Otakuwarren - Hey, it was cool hanging out with you and Chaos after the tourney. Shame that i didn't get to go up against you. That quad of yours looked formidable.

Serene - Quite possible, you're the one who's improved a lot. More polished piloting than at the last tourney. That took a lot of guts going old-skool with the 'SAWA and a blade.

Sforzandos - Impressive skills for a guy who's only been playing for a few weeks. Feth, Leperman must be an incredible teacher if the way you played is any indication. Hope to see you in the next meetings we have.

It seemed like there was a trend yesterday. A whole bunch of lightweights and midweights with a tank and a quad thrown into the mix. More weapon diversity too as i didn't see as many 93RLs like in the last PACT. It also seemed like we were watching another replay of PACT I during the finals as it saw NiX going up against Leperman for the second time in a row.

To the guys who ganged up on me during the "Battle City" rounds...Hehehe, babangon ako at gagantihan kayo.

And i do expect some sort of event when August 13 arrives...

For the Republic!
