Proximisio: Whew... my connections becoming buggy.
Procurator: Procurator chuckles.
Starschwar: Then again, we can't always expect to have even teams in the real world either... but if need be, I'll sit this one out.
Vogt: No.
Proximisio: Damien, over here, man.
Vogt: Ok, so the team will be Mirmaker, Proximisio, Procurator and 8ayamo.
Vogt: Versus xYasx, HostileIntention, Mathalos and Starschwar.
Vogt: Now, how it will work.
Vogt: First, I'll bring in the new rules for this match.
Vogt: -In case of a tie for a ballistic check, both sides reroll until there's a winner.
-Limit of 1 EMP for each turn
-EMP checks win ties
-If there's a tie in a ramming check, both ships take a hit.
HostileIntention: Excellent.
Vogt: I need a captain from each side.
Proximisio: *cough*
Procurator: EMP checks win which ties?
Proximisio: Hmmmm... a captain...
Vogt: He will be the one transmitting me the actions for each turn. If possible, someone experienced.
Proximisio: *makes a gesture to his left*
HostileIntention: Mathalos will be our captain.
Vogt: And you Procurator?
Procurator: I'd say Bayamo, as he's played before.
Vogt: Ok. Please roll a die to determine sides. The winner will pick Zion or Machines.
Vogt: This can be done with /random 3
*Mathalos rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*HostileIntention rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Vogt: These are the rolls that you will do until the end.
Vogt: Captains only.
*8ayamo rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
Mathalos: Machines, of course.
Vogt: Alright. Right side picks Machines.
Vogt: Give me a minute.
Vogt: I prepare the map.
Proximisio: Proximisio slowly raises his hand.
Procurator: D'oh.
Proximisio: Haha... reminds me of kickball when I was 8...
Proximisio: Always was last picked... good times...
*MissLita is offline.*
Vogt: Alright.
Vogt: http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q74/ZeroOneNetwork/board_demo2_0.gif
Vogt: This is the board for this match.
Vogt: Machines, you start at the right.
Vogt: Zion, at the left.
Vogt: Throughout all the match, the last number at the end of the file will be incremented by 1 for each turn. So when I tell you that the map is updated, just change the last digit.
Vogt: Ok. Now, I need the starting position from each ship.
Vogt: I'd like you to use your ship numbers, and not the names.
*siren1 is offline.*
Vogt: So for example, captains will tell me their starting positions like this:
Vogt: 1:A1, facing down-right
Vogt: So please collect the starting position from your team.
*Recursion.EndlessVoid is offline.*
Vogt: Also, I will name ships with the first letter of their organization, followed by their number. So if I say Z3, it's Proximisio. Remember your ship's code.
*Starschwar taps his foot.*
*Shaylynn is offline.*
*Starschwar crosses his arms at Omega0.*
*Asagi is in The Matrix.*
Proximisio: Give us a second.
*Tysias is in The Matrix.*

Vogt: Indeed, but it might be easier to track movement.
Starschwar: Yeah, thanks for all the effort you're putting into this Vogt, I appreciate it.
Vogt: No problem.
Procurator: Yeah, awesome stuff.
HostileIntention: Yes very impressive.
Vogt: Waiting for Zion's placement.
*8ayamo looks around Proximisio.*
Vogt: He isn't answering?
8ayamo: He's back now, but Mirmaker picked a hex that doesn't exist.. just a moment.
Procurator: Procurator coughs politely.
Mirmaker: Hmm...my bad here this g-board is kinda hard to read
*WoIfess is in The Matrix.*
HostileIntention: macro dice /random 3

Starschwar: Good idea.
Vogt: You'll need it a lot.

Vogt: Annoying Proxy.
Silencez: wont be for long
Procurator: Heh.

Vogt: The possible actions are Move, Right, Left, Land, EMP and Repair.
*Vector-Hostile.Dreami is offline.*

Vogt: Turn 3: M2 Move, M3 Repair, M4 Move. Z1 Right, Z2 EMP, Z4 Move.
Vogt: Ok. M3 Repairs but had no hits. However, he is shielded from Z2's EMP since he's landed.
Procurator: Procurator cries.
*Perreguine is offline.*
Proximisio: Ugh...
Vogt: Z2's EMP thus only would impact Z3, but his turn is over. So no result.

*Mathalos rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
*8ayamo rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Vogt: Missed.
Procurator: I used my EMP in phase 3, and did nothing in phase 4. However Star did something in both phases 3 and 4. So he can shoot in phase 4, but I can't fire back, right?
HostileIntention: HostileIntention head explodes.
Vogt: Next turn. Image uploaded.
Vogt: Indeed.
Procurator: Is that just becasue I was landed, or because I didn't get a phase 4?

Procurator: Gargh! Star's cheating!
Proximisio: Zion loses?
Vogt: Next phase.
Starschwar: Nah, I'm just insanely lucky. If you're serious though, feel free to roll for me.
8ayamo: 8ayamo rolls a number between 1 and 3: 4.
Procurator: *Laughs.* Of course I'm not serious.
Marias: It's all of the green.
Koopak: well i needa run for a bit.. you girls make sure you take good care of Erica haha
Proximisio: XD
Vogt: Turn 2: M1 Move, M2 Repair, M3 Repair, M4 Move. Z3 Land, Z4 Repair.

Asagi: hehe see yas!
Procurator: If I were serious I wouldn't be wearing this daft hat.

Starschwar: Just don't want there to be any doubts.
Perreguine: Sheesh man.

Vogt: Turn 3: M1 Repair, M2 Repair, M3 Right, M4 Move. Z3 Move.
Proximisio: Bump?
Vogt: Z3 goes into the wall.

Procurator: Eh? Wasn't there another round of firing?

Perreguine: hahaha.
Vogt: Hit.
Procurator: I mean after Turn 2. Star fired at Prox, but did Prox fire back?
Starschwar: I'm scaring myself.
Perreguine: Star is a...well I'd say machine but..you know.
Vogt: Proximisio is destroyed
Proximisio: I'm out.
Starschwar: Just lucky, Perre.
Proximisio: I hereby set a bomb on my ship so nobody can get my valuables.
*SniperWolf101 is in The Matrix.*
Perreguine: Lady luck has a crush on someone, I think.
Proximisio: HIT THE DECK!
Vogt: No. he was landed.
Vogt: The EMP disabled his cannons.
Procurator: Ah yes.
Proximisio: Ok... I still blow myself up.
Vogt: Yes. Without the EMP, your move was planned correctly.
Vogt: But you couldn't expect to not have your turning action cancelled
Vogt: Hence the crash.
Vogt: It shows an underestimated of the impacts of EMPs
Perreguine: Is playing this as hard as it sounds?
Starschwar: A good part of it's planning ahead and lucky, Perre.
HostileIntention: Yea.
Mirmaker: Yep
Perreguine: I don't get it....
Vogt:
Turn 4: M1 Land, M2 Move, M3 Move, M4 Right.
Mirmaker: Its...complicated
Procurator: Heh, you need to be able to see the player board.
Vogt: Seeing the map might help you.
HostileIntention: Without the lucky dice rolls, you can't succeed, but you can plan accordingly.
Vogt: http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q74/ZeroOneNetwork/board_demo2_3.gif
Perreguine: I was never good at strategy games...but..if you code me a 360 and Dead or Alive 4 I'll bust out the hurt.
Mirmaker: Mirmaker chuckles.
HostileIntention: I sense danger, and flying redpills.
Vogt: Ballistics
Vogt: M4 vs Z4
*Mirmaker rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Vogt: reroll
*Mirmaker rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
Vogt: Hit
HostileIntention: Isn't he disabled?
Vogt: Mirmaker is at 1 hull
HostileIntention: Oh.
Mirmaker: I repaired...twice
Mirmaker: I should be at 2 now shouldn't I?
Vogt: Let me check.
Vogt: You started the turn at 1 hull. You had 1 repair action this turn.
Vogt: 2, sorry. You are right
Mirmaker: Ok
*SniperWolf101 is offline.*
Vogt: He is at 2 hull
Procurator: Looks like the TARDIS landed on him.
xYasx: Hahah.
8ayamo: I am... Bayamo.. Captain of Zion... Zion will destroy... Machine hovercrafts
Vogt: Image updated.
*SniperWolf101 is in The Matrix.*
Vogt: Energy rolls.
Procurator: Hah!
Procurator: Uh, I mean, go Zion!
*Mirmaker rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
Procurator: No, wait, I don't mean that!
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
Procurator: How confusing.
*Mathalos rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*HostileIntention rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
Vogt: Feeling a bit of pressure Mirmaker...
Mirmaker: Heh just a little
*siren1 cheers for Ericana.*
Vogt: I guess you'll have to make a Neo out of yourself to win this.
*siren1 cheers for Ericana.*
Vogt: I'm waiting for your actions.
Procurator: Urgh, what a horrible thought. Neo...
Perreguine: Hehe.
8ayamo: He'd have to die to win? Sweet.. I guess we're all set for the path to victory.
Procurator: Aw man, looking at these game boards in succession doesn't paint a pretty picture for Zionite strategy.
*Loverrr is in The Matrix.*
Vogt: Waiting for your actions Mirmaker
Vogt: Turn 1: M1 Left, M2 Move, M3 EMP, M4 Move. Z4 EMP.
Vogt: Ramming. M4 into Z4.
Vogt: Hull checks.
*Mirmaker rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
Vogt: xYasx is hit.
Vogt: Ballistic now. M4 vs Z4
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Mathalos: 2+2, 3+1 both equal 4?
Vogt: Oh true, he was at 3.
Vogt: Equal, so both are hits.
Vogt: Thanks.
Procurator: Oh, poo.
Vogt: Mirmaker, shield roll.
*Mirmaker rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
Vogt: Hit. Mirmaker is disabled. Machines win.
Procurator: Gargh!
*Procurator screams in anguish.*
Mathalos: That game went a lot faster
HostileIntention: Good game, guys.
*Procurator stomps his foot.*
Mathalos: Your new rules helped a lot, Vogt.
xYasx: Well played everyone.
Mathalos: I think you should keep them how they are now.
Starschwar: Well played, all.
*Mirmaker shakes Mathalos's hand.*
*Mirmaker shakes HostileIntention's hand.*
Procurator: Heh, yeah, good game, kids.
*Mirmaker shakes xYasx's hand.*
Vogt: Much faster indeed.
*HostileIntention shakes Vogt's hand.*
*Mathalos shakes Procurator's hand.*
*Mirmaker shakes Starschwar's hand.*
*xYasx shakes Procurator's hand.*
Vogt: Congratulations. I must admit that the coordination on the Machine side was excellent.
*Mathalos shakes Vogt's hand.*
*HostileIntention slaps 8ayamo, hard.*
*Procurator shakes Starschwar's hand.*
*HostileIntention shakes Starschwar's hand.*
Vogt: Uploaded the final image.
Mirmaker: Heh..I was all confused at how the game moved at first
HostileIntention: Well done, Star.
Procurator: We got off to a seriously rocky start.
HostileIntention: MVP for sure.
Vogt: The first turns are always confusing.
HostileIntention: MVH? =P
*xYasx shakes Starschwar's hand.*
xYasx: Agreed.
Vogt: But it's easy to learn.
Mirmaker: Aye tis
Procurator: Excellent stuff. Thanks, Vogt! That must have taken a lot of thinking.
Vogt: So for those who tried it for the first time, how was it?
Vogt: It's ok.
*Mirmaker shakes Vogt's hand.*
Starschwar: Here's hoping we do that well in the Real. I need to jack out. Good game, all.
HostileIntention: I'd say the second time playing it was alot more enjoyable, It was great.
Vogt: So let's review the new rules.
Vogt: -In case of a tie for a ballistic check, both sides reroll until there's a winner.
-Limit of 1 EMP for each turn
-EMP checks win ties
-If there's a tie in a ramming check, both ships take a hit.
HostileIntention: I look forward to more games.
Mirmaker: Heh in the Real I actually see where I am going ::chuckles::
Asagi: omg we's spying on them fed
Asagi: shhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*FeDxXx speaks no evil.*
Mathalos: You should keep those rules and implement them onto the rule list.
*Asagi doesn't speak FeDxXx's evil.*
Vogt: Alright.
HostileIntention: Agreed.
Mathalos: They work well to keep the game enjoyable.
xYasx: I agree, they made things run very smoothly.
Mirmaker: Yessir
Procurator: Uh-huh. Still not sure what you mean by 'EMP checks win ties.'
Vogt: The next simulation will be held this weekend during the day for our European colleagues.
HostileIntention: Excellent.
xYasx: Oh, perfect.
Vogt: Both ships make an energy roll for the EMP. If both ships got the same result, the ship using its EMP wins the roll.
Vogt: The EMP that succeeded in this game was particularly devastating...
Procurator: Ah, okay. What was the case before? Rerolls?
Vogt: No, you needed a pure win.
Procurator: Gotcha.
Vogt: They are now much stronger, but they are tricky.
Vogt: You must use them while your opponent isn't landed and his turn isn't over to be useful.
Vogt: But as we could see in this game, it lead Proximisio's to his demise.
Mirmaker: So I used my EMP too late I guess
Vogt: Yes.
Mirmaker: Ah
Procurator: I think there should be a distinction between the normal 'Landed' move and the one forced by an EMP. The first type you can still shoot, but the second you can't.
xYasx: This is fantastic Vogt, you've really done a great job putting all this together.
Vogt: In your position, it was obvious you would be rammed +shot. But Starschwar's also used his EMP to punish you if you tried to evade.
Mirmaker: Heh
Vogt: Oh no, you can't shoot at all while landed.
Procurator: Okay. That was a little ambiguous before.
Vogt: Like I said last time if we can get the simulation to a good level of credibility, we might be able to plee Agent Gray for the instanciation of a real Machine navy.
Mirmaker: So...I see it is about...strategy...coodination between ships...
Vogt: Teamwork, strategy and a little bit of luck, yes.
Mirmaker: Heh well played
Vogt: But yes, I learned something. Someone ill-intended could cheat on his roll and type it directly in the System messages.
Mirmaker: Yes...but I do not think that someone would go that low
Procurator: Not quite. There's a dot at the end of a cheated sentence.
8ayamo: Yeah, you have to be careful to check that each line is a separate break.
8ayamo: That can be evaded, Procurator
Procurator: A genuine roll doesn't have a full stop.
Procurator: Eh? How so?
*Mirmaker rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
8ayamo: 8ayamo 8ayamo coughs.
8ayamo rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3
HostileIntention is offline.
HostileIntention: HostileIntention is not.
8ayamo: Click my roll
Vogt: Yes, the 1337 one.
Mirmaker: Mirmaker rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3.
Mirmaker: THat is a fake one
Vogt: Oh, that one too.
Procurator: Oh, I get ya. Copied and pasted, eh?
8ayamo: Yeah, the line break characters transfer
*siren1 is offline.*
Vogt: Alright. I guess that I'll implement a system where each team has to watch the other one for cheat.
Vogt: I don't have the time to check them.
Procurator: Shouldn't be a problem.
Vogt: Of course, cheating would lead to elimination for the whole team.
Vogt: No.
HostileIntention: and banning from the game forever? That would keep people from cheating.
*SniperWolf101 is offline.*
Vogt: Yes.
Vogt: Alright, thanks everyone for participating. Indeed, it was an excellent match.
HostileIntention: Yes it was, thank you officer.
Mirmaker: Thank you for GMing Sir
*xYasx shakes Vogt's hand.*
xYasx: Thanks again, Officer.
*HostileIntention is offline.*
Vogt: And it will be better each time as we get used to it.

Vogt: Goodbye.
Mathalos: Thank you, Vogt.
Mathalos: Have a good evening.
