An excellent 172nd Nation War; a good turnout with some newer players joining in.

Please note that swarms and Lmines are banned from NWs due to lag problems, but that the latter are under review. Oh, and Biocom mines are too... and don't even think about bringing a pet Furie.

Please note that folk coming back to watch should be in an EC class ship, and stay 2000m from the action using zoom to watch. If you come back in anything else it makes it very difficult for the host to work out what is going on, and in extreme circumstances may lead to the disqualification of your team.

May I ask all players to stay close to their nation group and remain relatively stationary at the start, makes it easier for me to record names.

This Nation War was hosted in a different sector, which proved moot to [HAWK] finding it. Their efforts, pathetic at best, to disrupt the Nation War were futile. Specifically peytros and Benerrandis were the main perpetrators, however, Dameos' questionable presence in the Nation War sector leads to suspicion of deliberate exposure of the Nation War sector to those that would seek to disrupt it.

Itani Team members, Niki and The Aviator, fought well in the end against the Serco Team. Good win to the three remaining Serco Team members, Denji Royhu, Lars Marona, and Mecha Touriaus.

Awesome Surb, you even included Bold text and italics!

/me goes to shoot some HAWK

Either part of that 32mil sponsorship was mine, or Ecka owes me 2mil! :D

I, as the 172nd Nation War host, leave the banning of players to the VO community to decide if their actions as stated merit it.

Sponsorships were (in the millions) 5, 10, 10, 5, and 2. Not in any order to the above sponsor list.

I think that Benerrandis (did I spell that right?) needs a ban, but I think we should leave Dameos be for now. Who knows? Maybe he'll leave HAWK!

Many thanks for hosting the NW Surbius. I have hosted over 250 NWs , it is I think an appropriate time to step down and see a rota of responsible players hosting VOs premier player run event.

All monies donated to me for the NW are accounted for, I shall ensure that these monies are transferred to the new hosts .

Ecka.

Yay, 'monies' XD

/me is slightly high

I'd say ban ole benny, he managed to hit me with some rockets and peytros got a few neutron shots, but to those hawk read, your efforts were totally in vain, the nw ran to the end and I survived your attacks and so did some others.

As for the serco, they did very well, I only got one kill (though it was the commander of itan ;) by mere chance and fate) But thats not what it is about, we had good team work going, and we watched each other's backs and frankly, i survived with 4% because of their efforts, otherwise i would have died pretty fast. Well Done.

We had PA serco, ONE Sercos, and a SCAR serco, but in the end we were all just Serco and we worked together fine and we won the day. Serco are just Serco when working together in battle.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure me and Denji collided, causing me to explode! Damn Valks and their tendency to wingbug! See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQtWawtofRY

lol thats unlucky, least your explosion damaged denji :P

This sure looked like a wingbug.
I thought they fixed that wingbug thing on valks and vults long time ago?

Heh, nope, I took no damage from the collision or the explosion! I was laughing my ass off about it, wish I knew how it happened!

wingbug doesn't tend to damage the player who caused the other to explode. Just ask breazle what he did to my x1 when we were playing around...

Heh, I once rammed Niki while he was AFK in a vult while I was in a valk, I went from 100% to dead.

Maybe them Serco's should just ram the Itani team to death in future!

[edit]

to make sense.

I once rammed Niki while he was AFK in a vult while I was in a valk, I went from 100% to dead.

Further proof that Niki is always lethal, even while not at the controls.
