Written by MOTORMOUTH

MotormouthWednesday nights "KILL-A-RAT" event drew hundreds of players into a frenzied online battle with 1 goal: Score kills on Cornered Rat Software staff!  Several times a year, the "RATS" offer their players a chance to win a free years subscription as well as the coveted "I Killed A Rat" T-shirt by offering themselves up as targets.  As usual, the community responded with unbridled enthusiasm and racked up dozens of RAT kills.

The top RAT killer for the September 24th, 2008 event was BOSER with (5) confirmed kills! BOSER wins a free year of Battleground Europe and the special "I Killed A Rat" Tshirt. Congrats, BOSER!

REVISED LIST 

Players that scored (3) or more RAT kills and winners of Tshirts are:

Paulchen
Zep34
Keinmann
Bully001
Doc50
Jagdpak
Kerndogs
H8tank
Mogas
Flopstr8
Dover
Romzburg
Humper2
Slovski
Klesh
Needy
Genbrad
Mwhitman

Congratulations to all the winners, we'll be in touch soon to get you your shirts!

An explanation from DOC on the scoring issues we had:
"During intermissions, our scoring databases are configured differently than during camapigns. This is by nessesity more than desire ... the reasons are many and too complicated to go into here.
The upshot of this is ... running our first Kill-a-Rat event during an intermission (this was the first run during an intermission) revealed some ways in which our scoring configuration during intermission was inadequate for this style of event.
The good thing is, as a result of this series of events, we have a better set-up for the future. That's always a good result."

Our apologies for the delay!

I thought I got 3 Rats. Guess my memory isn't as bad as I thought it was! :-) And the fight in the Alps after the Kill-a-Rat was great.

I enjoyed the infantry battle on the ALPS AFTER the kill a rat event as well. Only cover was the hills. Everything in the open up & hope that u scoped/killed enemy before he scoped/shot you. THANKS for all the fun!

Its a very fun event but it can be also very frustrating. I know its not supposed to be too easy but this is 2 events that I haven't killed a Rat. So my suggestion is narrow the area where the Rats are. Thanks!

I killed TOPD, RAMP and DEKARD. And I could swear that I saw other names in chat rack up more than 3 Rat kills. I think there's a bunch of names missing.
