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 (10pm GMT during Daylight Savings Time) 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

The Event:

Short and simple. That's the way i'd describe my participation in this event. I knew we lost from the start. Being the smallest team and outnumbered four to one by the other two teams, we didn't have much of a chance. And I was in my Quadflare to boot. The event started and I pushed my Hornet forward, seeking what would be my only kill of the night. It was a Serco Warthog, Hokanes Harolus I believe. Well, anyway, two volleys finished him off but I was being attacked by Cygnus X and invisiblish one with various energy weapons that ate through my fat, slow ship. Boom. The end. :D

The Results:

Serco won this one. Congrats to Solra Bizna, Viper88 and CygnusX who each received 700k for their bravery in battle. This win for the Serco brings the records to:

Itani - 3, UIT - 4 and Serco - 4

Can the Itani regain their former glory?! Not withut the return of Niki and _Ghost_ imo.

The Serco plan was to take out all the Itani first, and then the most dangerous UITs. I charged straight towards Blue Streak and after a few chases and rounds of positron fire, he was out. Suddenly my hull was taking fire from Ion Storm, so I had to take a break from our team's plan, hit button 5, turned the prom around, unleashed hell and Ion Storm was out within seconds. I must have appeared in the middle of a UIT cluster, because immediately invisiblish one attacked me, but he got to feel the sting of the Queen, and exploded too.

Blasting through the debris, I saw Orina Tolar in the distance, but was intercepted by Ion. With no time to waste (wanted to get back to the plan), I fired all three guns at Ion, and soon his ship vaporized as well. I enabled the prom's afterburners and started chasing Orina. It took me well over a minute to finish him off, at which point firsm was the only remaining enemy. And after that final clash, the Serco team was victorious, despite UIT's superior numbers!

Great work Viper, Hokanes, Naut, Shedu, Solra, fazinator and Mintebi!

*cough* CygnusX Hive-Posi SCP *cough*

You had your lesson, UIT: don't make Breazle the commander next time! :)

/me agrees... notes how Breazle and Ion Storm werent even in the right position at the beginning of the war.

I tried to kill Blue Streak... he blew up all over me, got stuck on the front of Cyg's prom... and felt a lot of Queen in my wing.

-invisiblish one

Jack Sisco would like it known that as soon as he levels he shall join the Nation Wars.

SweetTooth adds his help in as well.

I was put as Breazles wingman, and tried my best to kill Mintebi with him. Unfortunately for me, Shedu found me as an attractive target now I did not have Invisiblish One to hide behind, and tried to load my ship with Gauss(?). I kept on fighting Mintebi and tried to stay as wingman, only making dodging moves against Shedu, but in the end I had to break of and try to survive Shedus continuing assault by turning to face him. At was not to be, as Shedu had waited for that excact moment to unleash a battery full of gauss in my general direction, most of which had the unpleasant effect of exploding my Vult. Fortunately the newly installed APRS (Autamated Pilot Recovery System) Hortan had installed carried him swiftly away from the carnage...

Cold ones on me to Shedu!!
See you in the sights;)

/me finds some joy in the notice that Whytee there got blasted this time... no repeats for you!

/me sighs as the favorable UIT still fell. :(
