Because of some problems that Erik C. is presently having I will be running this weeks Nation War. Sorry for the late post, I didn't know until Sat Night of his issues.

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)

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.

10) No interfering with playability in the War sector. this includes (but is not limited to): Cargo drops

Samething as normal but I wont be fighting just judging/watching.

Stranger

Ill be leading the Itani group if I get on in time.

Wha ttime?

Sweet! Thanks Stranger

To echo ghostieboy:

At what time (in GMT, please) will this event take place?

I leave that to Stranger for this event. But from now on (daylight savings time, summertime, whateveryoucallit), will make it 10pm GMT. Now, for the final hinge in this plan: a working computer...

As for what time, please read rule #8, 11pm GMT. Thats also 2pm PST 4pm for CST and 5pm for EST. And yes that is after the DST change.

Crap, I wont be able to make it, maybe next time...

:(
The time in VO didn't account for DST, so it was an hour behind and confused everyone, so the war event was one hour early. If the time was right I bet there would be more people.

I had to wait for all of my team (4 members + me) to come to D2 as they were scattered across the universe like flies in a storm. They finally got to D2, and we started. I avoided the fight for ~15 seconds, then picked at the edges. After a few seconds, it quickly became apperent that UIT were owning the field. I jumped in, hitting a few people, and stayed alive for a biy, killing someone, nut finally got taken out.

I appologize if I butcher anyones name. This is the first time that I've ran an event.

Itani Team:
Essena Zela (Team Leader)
Udjuk Marwin
Jack O'Neill
Won'ear
cuchulainn

Serco Team:
Shedu (Team Leader)
Spacehunter
Cobalt
Junas Helsbane

UIT Team
Nerde Verde (Team Leader)
Blackhole Goldclaw
Jolly Roger Yarr!
Dirk Nibleck
Byron150
mr_spuck
Xian
Joyce Sanders
Kroendal

The winners were UIT with Jolly Roger Yarrr!, mr_spuck, Xian, and Kroendal surviving to earn 500,000 each.

I know that there was some confusion on time with the DST change but all in all it was a good fight. Just a side note we had TGFT run a convoy full of Moths through D-2 in a show of support before the event. Rather odd to look at the sector list to find 13 UIT members when Serco and Itani only had about 2 each. Thanks TGFT for the support.

Erik C. should be back next week to run The Nation War.

EDIT:spelling corrections, sorry Essena.
