Super MNC Rule Changes: 30

Your Super MNC version should be 33505. We are experiencing some issues with updating. If you do not have this version try verifying local content through Steam.
Yee hoo, I hope you got a hankerin' for a good ol' fashioned... oh just go to Rule Changes 30, I can't read this anymore.
Early update this week as we try to pace things out before our big PAX East showing. Thus the smaller update this week. Next update will be our normal, and maybe even greater, chock-full update with lots of new content.
Rule Change 31 won't happen until early April, just before PAX. If you make it to PAX feel free to come talk to us in booth 1062. (PAX East Expo Map) We'll have lots of computers to play Super MNC and will be running tournaments every day!
