It would be a three-way battle, and would be hosted on Recursion, though ships from all instances would be permitted. All sides will be permitted three entrants. If there are not enough people available, I will postpone it, but I would like to do it tonight if possible. Also - thanks, Vogt, for sending the hovercraft battle resources. I hope our requests didn't come off as demands - I certainly didn't intend them to have any negative connotation to them. Thanks again for all of your hard work, dedication, and, well, dang, even your resources and help in continuation of your project.
I should be able to make it, although it will be easier for me to be there at 7 P.M. MCT rather than 6 P.M.

We will begin ship placement at approximately 10 minutes past 6 PM MCT and will permit delayed entry since Zion participants on the Zion side have expressed a need to show up later and Machinists need to start sooner. As of yet, there are no Merovingian participants. What this means is that you will simply start in a starting square if you show up late and your team is not already full (this includes disabled ships). EDIT: There are currently 2 Machinist ships on the field (room for 1 more), 1 Zion ship on the field (room for 2 more), and 1 Merovingian ship on the field (room for 2 more). Join in when you can, Omega. I have received word that another Zionite should be joining in as well. The same goes for anyone else!

Thanks for starting to host the battles again Neoteny. My bad luck with the dices is yet my bane. Nevertheless, if you allow late entrances at next battles, such participants must have their actions handled in a different way, because as you saw, when Omega entered, he immediatly chose a position and course of action that backed the work of Eyes0nly, leaving me in clear disadvantage, as I picked my own position to battle again Eyes0nly first. However, it was a good way to start a new age on the battles.

This was only permitted because of the unnanounced nature of the battle. In future battles, the old rule of be there on time will be in effect, as I'll intend to announce other battles well in advance. I also wanted to try it out and see how it would work, since it was a new style of gameplay.

Zion won. Illyria1, Stanislava, and TekMon received 1 XP each. Eyes0nly received 3 XP. Omega02 receved 3 XP and one additional XP for disabling one of the two unidentified craft on the field for a total of 4 XP. An updated .htm file can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?iwmiizzz345 The following is the basic map for this battle: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y1...cenarioBase.png The other unidentified craft disappeared on the second phase without being identified. The second ship was revealed both by Stanislava and Omega02 independantly, and was searched by Eyes0nly and Omega02 following the battle. It was found to be the hovercraft Damascus, a Cypherite vessel, operating on autopilot with a fully charged EMP heading towards 01. They disabled its reactor and elected to tow the craft out to New Zion.

I would've loved to make this, but I was recharging in New Zion. ((My internet was out. ))

I would like to know if there is interest in a battle tonight at around 6 or 7 PM MCT. It would, again, be held as a 3 v 3 v 3 with special, but differing circumstances.

It's more do-able for me if it's at 7 PM as well.

By general consensus, then, the battle will be at 7 PM MCT.

Merovingians won and Neoteny escaped. Sieges and MetaLogic received 3 XP for winning and surviving. Neoteny received 3 XP for escaping through the right of the map. TekMon received 2 XP for winning. Deffdog received 1 XP for participating. Here are the images from the battle:

Anyone going to do this somewhere else than Recursion? Right now it's twice a month with the regular group of hovercraft battlers on Recursion, so they basically powerlevel themselves to rank 5. No-one will want to do inter-server battles if that's the case, but eh, ./shrug. I actually think XP should be scaled much higher than 50. Just throwing a few points around.

Every battle I've hosted so far is interserver. I just host them on Recursion because that's my home server. But I actually have an empty character slot on Vector, so I might start doing them over there. It's my belief that all battles should be inclusive, so I don't really intend to host server-exclusive battles.
