Nation War #6 on Sunday

12»
Mar 17, 2006 moldyman link
RULES:

1) As far as ships and weapons go, only two weapons are banned: Chaos Sawrm Missiles and Locust Swarm Missiles. This is done to recognize the "beep effect" in combat, ie scaring your opponent with all the target lockon alerts.

2) No running for obcene distances. This is subjective, but honestly.. I'll call it if you go out beyond 3,000 meters of anyone. This rule is flexible and bendable, but do not abuse it.
Better guide, don't go outside of the asteroid field.

3) Once you are dead, you are out. You may return to watch, but must announce this over sector comm.

4) Once you leave the sector you are out. This means no repairing at a station, no reloading and no jumping out to jump back in when your team wins.

5) The prize is two million credits, split among the qualifying survivors ONLY! If you have broken a rule above but have survived, don't expect to get credits.

6) The Nation War Event takes place in Sedina D-2 at the time of 11pm GMT on Sundays between three teams, each team representing a nation.

7) Team leaders are participants in the event, who represent their team when I speak to them. I expect them to be honest.

8) Things may change due to unavoidable circumstances. Always follow the instructions of Blue Streak or Erik C. , whichever one of my alts run the event (Usually the former)

Okie dokie. Rules will be changed as necessary. And, oh, always have fun. :)

-Blue Streak/Erik C.

EDIT: New rule, brought on by some people hated by their own nation.

9) If a participant is hated by their own nation, they have may go on any of the teams (including their nation's team) so long as they are A) Liked by that nation (Ignore if you join your own nation's team) and B) Announce it beforehand, to myself and/or the participants. This keeps everyone in the know.

So the Akanese and the Itani are going to fight together? So much for the words on the smack talk thread!
Mar 18, 2006 Shapenaji link
Gonna go Serco this time... see if we can overcome the 'tani strategy.
Mar 18, 2006 toshiro link
Hmm, will be interesting to fight alongside Shape instead of the opposite. Count me in.
Mar 18, 2006 slime73 link
jex, it's a nation war event not a faction war event, and I would never fight against a fellow Itani anyways.
Mar 18, 2006 jexkerome link
Not that Astaroth has said he won't help you at all, ever, in your fight against the enemies of the Itani. And, um, in case you haven't noticed, this is what this event is all about. As for factions, there's no such faction as an Akanese faction ingame, just in your head.
Mar 18, 2006 Astaroth link
Im just in this for the fun, not helpin the Akanese with their agenda
Mar 18, 2006 jexkerome link
The Akanese agenda = kill Sercos, and those who hurt Itani.

What you're going to be doing at the event = kill Sercos, and those who hurt Itani.

So, tell me again you're not helping them out. Only this time, try to sound convincing.

Akanese Agenda: Wipe out Serco (any one sight, not what I do)

Event: Have fun killin Serco, UIT, or Itani hated Itani. Plus its organized unlike the akanese agenda where they kill every serco on sight.

You, I don't need to waste my time with.

Plus, by saying that they won't get any help from me, it means that If they ask for help against other serco players or assistance in attackin them, they won't recieve it from me.

My (Essena Zela's) short account of what I did:
I didn't do much in the beginning, except for a few bombing runs on the serco, but at the end, when it was only me and 3 UIT, i killed Invisiblish One with a couple flares to the face, and then did the same to Surbius Badevo, but killed myself in the process :(
GF everyone!

At least now I can say I was the last living itani 2 times! yay!

The Furball:

The UIT and Itani had agreed to a tactic beforehand. It involved the two teams heading into each other and mlding but then breaking off to attack the Serco. The tactic worked well, the two teams smashing into each other and allowing the serco to hit in. With the serco sorrounded, the two teams turned and focused on them. I myself was flying my usually Valk setup, trying to get beads on ships, but a prom behind me keep spraying it's AGT at me and I couldn't shake it. In the end, I had hit BUNNY, Jean Baptiste, Shedu and invisblish one with my flares, but was finally taken down by my stalker. (My curses go out to you Jean)

By the time I had come back two minutes later, Essena was left with three UIT. Essena took down one and then another (invisblish and someone else, sorry I forgot the name :C). But, Essena issued on his own flares, ending the Itani teaam's hopes of winning. In the end, only the UIT Hortan was left with his Orion hornet Convoy Guardian. Amazingly, with not one scratch on it.

I know it's short, but, again, it was a short event. Congrats to the Sigma guildy, Hortan, for wurviving and winning the two million credits for himself (and the UIT their first win since September). Later on, I found out that the winner was in a tent in -14 degree (Celsius I assume) weather at 4am in the morning by him. Congrats to the new record holder, the only single person to have ever won the event.

Current standings are - 3 Itani wins, 2 Serco wins, 3 UIT wins

Argh, I didn't make it home in time
Mar 19, 2006 spectre_c_me link
itani didnt win tho.

w00t for the UIT! Hmm... previously thought plan huh. I did wonder where screwball got that idea from. face the itani and turn after 5 secs. to attack the serco. I was just gonna blast some serco. oh well... worked out for us.

Good War all! Look forward to the next one.

Damnit, STOP HAVING THESE EARLY ENOUGH IN THE EVENING THAT I CAN'T MAKE IT!

Thanks for running it BS. It was much shorter this time, but it was blast again!

(edit : apologies for the "me" tone of this post. got to rub my own ego.)

Astaroth and I paired up and decided ahead of time to go after Mecha Touriaus in his SVG. We charged at the UIT as planned, and then turned on the Serco. I went after Mecha and saw him engaged, so I sneakily shot him in the back. He was down to 10 but didn't die, so I ended up in a furball with him. Which was a mistake, since it was hard to hit a vult, and I forgot my own advice of not getting into a protracted dogfight. Soon, my words came to haunt me as BUNNY started to throw flares at me, and by the time I shot down Mecha, I was down to less than 40.

More importantly, my battery was out of juice, and Astaroth was no where to be seen. I was caught in the middle of a big furball and I can't turbo out, and there before I even got time to figure out how to extract myself, Jefferson Clay started to pelt at me with his AGT. I dodged for a while, and had time to check sector list quickly to see that the Serco were decimated already. Well, jefferson clay was insistent, so I had to engage him. Fortunately, I had a lucky break when he somehow showed his side at me, and I sent a nice long stream to destroy him.

Which left me with no battery power again (Heavies are not very good for big fights I am finding out...). But this time I found myself alone, and saw Jean and Essena engaged 4 or 5 UITs in a big furball about 1000m away. Letting my battery recharge, I did a quick check and saw that the biggest threat is Stranger and his almost full health Tung. By the time I got to the fight, Jean was already gone and it was brave Essena vs 4 UITs. I dove into Stranger, shot at him and took him down to perhaps 30. That stirred the hornet's nest (well not that Hornet), and suddenly I got vults and taurs shooting at me. Ops, down to 5%. I engaged Stranger. I had no battery power, so I had to dodge, and hope for an opening. It came, and in a head on with Stranger, I blew him up. His explosion took me out too and that's the end for me.

Well, there, nice going UIT. Good fights all.

I went after Lucky_strike and dispatched him almost quicky, but Shedu kept huggin my ass with his AGT and got me =\
Mar 19, 2006 slime73 link
Something I've noticed after doing a few War events is that it's usually only the Itani who post their stories of what happened.
Mar 19, 2006 softy2 link
Eh. Nobody is stopping you from posting stories. After all, like i said, one must rub one's ego a bit. In fact, please post other UIT/Serco stories, it'll be a nice balance to this all-itani thingie.
