Ultimate/Planned Capital Ship Battle (8)
There will be an Ultimate/Planned Capital Ship Battle (8) Saturday, June 25, 2005, at 7pm GMT. Use Daylight Saving Time (where applicable) to translate the time. We will be using Scenario 1 for this battle.
The final rules can be found here:
http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/7/10404
There are going to be some changes for the battle this Saturday.
19:00 GMT All cap ships will spawn at their ready positions:
(I don’t know exact locations but they will be spawned 1 sector away from Sedina B8)
NO ATTACKING ANY CAP SHIP BEFORE IT REACHES SEDINA B8
19:20 GMT Cap ships will start moving toward Sedina B8. When the cap ships jump to B8 the battle will start. I will announce the start of the battle on chan 205 and 100.
Please use 205 for event chat and leave 100 for general chat
One MAJOR change will happen for this Saturdays battle, I don’t think I will be able to participate. I made real world plans that I can’t get out of (even if I wanted to), so I won’t be able to be the event coordinator of this battle. I’m looking for volunteers to be the event coordinator for this battle and maybe a couple of future battles. I would prefer if this person is not a pirate :) and is basically trustworthy and at least liked, respected and trusted by most players (like me :). I guide would be perfect for this. Volunteer’s please post below. I will login to the game so I will have a log of the event. So I should be able to post times here.
I will also not be leading the Itani nation for this next battle. Someone will be picked before the battle on Saturday. If LeberMac is available he will be the new Supreme Commander of the Itani nation at least for the next battle. Please volunteer on the Itani Alliance message boards here: http://www.itanialliance.com/forums/index.php
Please be sure you are all on time. With the changes we should be able to start the battle at 7:20 pm gmt. I would like to start as close to that time as possible. You should arrive at 7 pm GMT though. Remember you need to register with your nation leader to participate
Remember you must register with your nation leader before the start of the battle. Only those players that register will be awarded Combat XP and money.
Serco and UIT (especially Serco) make sure you have a leader in place by 7pm GMT. Hopefully at your Cap ship’s spawning position. Since the battle will start earlier I need you to organize quickly. I will disqualify any team that doesn’t have a leader by 7:10pm GMT.
I once again want to thank the developers and guides for their help. Without them we wouldn’t have a game at all.
As always your suggestions, comments and opinions are welcome.

PS. All donations to the prize fund are welcome. Just see me in game to donate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Guides and Developers: Like I said before these ongoing battles are impossible to have without your help and support. There were no guides on during the last battle at all. Thankfully Michael showed up to spawn the cap ships, but he was away for most of the battle. The Itani ship went into the start of the battle with 81%. I’m not sure if it spawned that way or was attacked before the battle began. If someone was online before the ships jumped we could have corrected that problem.
We need someone online to help out during the whole 2+ hour battle. Please do me a favor and deside amongust yourself who will be be able to support and help out during the next couple of battles. I know you are all busy people, but this is IMMPOSIBLE without you.
(And I’m not blaming Micheal. I appreciate him doing what he could. If he didn’t show up I would have had to cancel.)

I won't be avaible this Sat to help. Sorry.
I'll be there:)
So I think we’re ready for the next battle.
Michael is going to be the Official event coordinator for this battle. He’ll say “START” when all 3 cap ships reach B8. (Feel free to engage when the 3 ships enter B8 though, even if he doesn’t shout start)
There’s only 1 real rule though: “No attacking cap ships or their defenders before the battle starts”.
Remember you must register with your nation leader before the battle starts. Nation leaders please message Michael in game with how many registered users you have when the battle starts.
The prize money will be given to the nation leaders to hand out. And listen for an announcement from Michael on where to go for the combat XP. It might be B8 or it might be the cap ships start location. Make sure you are on chan 205. All announcements will at least be made there.
The battle will end when at least 2 ships are dead. Michael will announce the end of the battle and tell everyone where to regroup.
I will be logged in for the battle so I can get a log of the battle. And I’ll post times after the battle. Make sure someone announces when each cap ship dies on 205.

The UIT ship was the last left. I'm sorry that I never saw any post to 205. The Itani ship died under mysterious circumstances, for it was winning and when I came back it was gone and a bunch of bots were leaving. Somebody else also made it sound as if it was wingbuged. The serco ship may have been also, but it would have died soon anyway. If the battle still counts, I'd like to thank myself (Pixel the Great) and my comrade Bus Tour for our victory despite great odds.
Yes the above is the same as in the General forum.

I'm assuming you mean the Itani ship becuase others have said that the Serco ship died normally.
By the way, has a decision been reached on the validity of this match, and who gets the reward?

I’m sorry again. I wasn’t able to log in and get a log of the last battle. I have no idea what happened.
I think I’m going to postpone the next couple of battles. I think we all need time to regroup and rest up before the next battle. I also don’t want to plan a battle I can’t get to.
From what I heard the itani ship was wingbugged, but the serco ship died normally. And the UIT won again :(
I hope everyone received prize money and combat xp. If not please post below. Also post any information about the last battle.
If you haven’t logged in since Saturday’s battle and still have your errors.log file please also post any relevevent information below.

It has been my practice as event coordinator to announce when the prizes was going to be given out. It’s implied that prizes are only given out to people who register and right after the battle.
“The prize money will be given to the nation leaders to hand out. And listen for an announcement from Michael on where to go for the combat XP. It might be B8 or it might be the cap ships start location. Make sure you are on chan 205. All announcements will at least be made there.
The battle will end when at least 2 ships are dead. Michael will announce the end of the battle and tell everyone where to regroup.”
If Michael wants to give you the combat XP for last week that’s up to him, but I wouldn’t. Not because you didn’t participate or do a gob but because you were supposed to wait after the battle to get your prize. I want to make sure we weren’t in the position to have to determine who actually participated and who didn’t. By giving out the prize right after the battle we avoid that. And its not like everyone wasn’t warned, that’s the way we’ve been doing it since these battles started.
nuthou5e: what time did you become leader? If it was 15 seconds before the battle started the Itani nation was already disqualified.
“Serco and UIT (especially Serco) make sure you have a leader in place by 7pm GMT. Hopefully at your Cap ship’s spawning position. Since the battle will start earlier I need you to organize quickly. I will disqualify any team that doesn’t have a leader by 7:10pm GMT.”
Again this information was not hidden; it’s the same way we’ve done it for all our battles. No leader at the appointed time and everyone in that nation gets disqualified. I hoped by making that rule that every nation would organize faster. Also it makes the event coordinator’s job just a little easier. How can a players register with their nation leader before a battle if they don’t have time before the battle start?
I guess my numerous post on these message boards is not enough. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this clearer please let me know before the next battle.
And again Michael did a great job as event coordinator. He followed the rules as precisely as I would. Thanks again!!
