[Tell] Yasamuu: Yeah, I figured as much, I'll just cut team chat and crew chat out :)
RyanStayley: Interesting, and why would that be?
[Tell] To Yasamuu: That's cool, as long as Systematica or LOCross aren't in your team/crew. :P

warlike: its no problem
warlike: its best to take things slowly
RyanStayley: Well I'm glad to know that I'm reacting in an expected manner then.
*Found 0 players.*
warlike: the deciding moment for me was when i was told i felt beaten by my own life that we were being used
RyanStayley: I see
warlike: is there anything you wish to ask ?
warlike: remeber what we offer is the truth
RyanStayley: That is kind of an uneasy feeling I must admit but to possibly lose everyone I know is a pretty big factor for me
warlike: one day when it is their time it may be you who helps them see the truth
RyanStayley: I really don't have any other questions right now. It's one of those things that I just need to sit on and maybe see if anything else comes to mind for me to ask.
warlike: ok
RyanStayley: But what if that day never comes?
warlike: their is one day for us all
warlike: the more people we awaken the more chances we get for others

[Tell] MindsweepX: (we are in the zion construct with operative323, want to join us?)
Vogt: It really looks like the Merovingian forces around here are not what they were before.
*Itarrot is offline.*
Starschwar: Yeah, there's been a real decline over the past year. I
Starschwar: I suppose the war had something to do with that.
Vogt: I really don't know.
Vogt: I think their decline date from before the war.
Starschwar: True... I phrased that poorly.
*Chat is already being logged. Use /logstop to stop logging.*
Starschwar: I meant that the war was responsible for the more recent decline.
Starschwar: Motivating them away from apathy.
*Starschwar shrugs at Vogt.*
Starschwar: Not sure about the rest.
Vogt: Well, they are not a problem as much as I would have imagined in this war.
*Othinn has joined the mission team.*
*You are now the leader of your mission team.*
*Mission team created.*
Starschwar: Yeah, I'm surprised that they're spending so much time researching the real world... guess they want to put the General to work or someting.

Vogt: Systematic Chaos disbanded last night.
Starschwar: What? Weird, first I heard of it. What happened?
Vogt: They were not happy with the image linked to their name.
*none (Allow)*
Starschwar: Hm. So they reformed with a new name? Or they're just going their seperate ways?
Vogt: No, they are searching for a new name.
*xYasx is in The Matrix.*
Starschwar: I see. Excuse me for one moment.
*Bronwyn is in The Matrix.*
*Vector-Hostile.Sutola is in The Matrix.*
Starschwar: Oh, hi Mathalos.
*Vector-Hostile.Sutola is offline.*
Vogt: Greetings.
Vogt: Will you be alone?
Marias: Yeeeup.
Vogt: Alright. Let's have a seat, we'll start with the basics.
Marias: I don't suppose that I can pull a "Oh no! Merv Sentinel Army appears and slaughters Machines!" can I?
Vogt: I don't think you have this ace up your sleeve.
Marias: It was worth a try.
Vogt: First, have you read the rules of engagement?
Marias: Yes.
Vogt: Alright. At each turn, there will be a map online. You will be able to update it at each turn and see how the battle is progressing.
Vogt: Your role is limited to 2 things: planning your moves and doing rolls.
Vogt: For rolls, please program the following macro: /macro roll /random 3
Vogt: This will allow you to make quick rolls. And like every roll, you add the value of the related stat to that.
Vogt: For this battle, each ship will have a code.
Vogt: Yours will be V1.
Vogt: For the Machines, it will be M1, M2 and M3.
Vogt: When for example you are in line to shoot someone, I will call the shot that way:
*xYasx salutes to Vogt.*
Vogt: V1 vs M2.
Vogt: Greetings.
xYasx: Greetings, Officer.
Starschwar: Hi Yas.
Vogt: So in this case, that means that V1 rolls ballistics and M2, shields.
xYasx: Greetings, Stars. Hows things?
Starschwar: Not bad.
Vogt: At each turn, you have to provide me your moves secretely in that format:
Vogt: V1 Move, Move, Right, Move
Vogt: The actions, I repeat, are Move, Right, Left, Land, Repair and EMP.
Vogt: If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Vogt: Alright. I will set the map in place.
Marias: What is the function of the Repair?
Vogt: Who will be your team leader?
Marias: I assume that you're talking to them? I'm kind of leader by default.
Vogt: You get one lost point of hull. You don't shoot ballistics and can be shot. You are immune to EMPs.
Vogt: Yes, for the Machines.
Mathalos: I will.
Vogt: Mathalos, M1, Starschwar, M2, xYasx, M3.
*siren1 is offline.*
Vogt: http://01network.awardspace.com/hovercrafts/hovercraft_mervsVSmachines_syntax_10_11.html
Vogt: Please load this. Merovingians will start to the leftmost column, Machines, to the right.
Vogt: Please tell me the hex where your ship will be placed and the side it will face.

Vogt: The map is ready.
Vogt: Good luck.
Vogt: Please roll energy.
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Mathalos rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
Vogt: So in this case Marias, you have 2 actions to plan.
Starschwar: Vogt, there's a slight problem with the map.
Vogt: Yes?
Starschwar: My ship is m2, in space k2, but on the map it's shown as m3.
Mathalos: I switched Yas's and Star's positions.
Vogt: Mathalos whispers>M1: K6 Upper Left. M2: K5 Upper Left. M3: K2 Lower Left.
Vogt: Oh ok.
Vogt: It will be fixed for the next one.
Mathalos: I mistaked Stars for M3, my apologies.
*Ballak is in The Matrix.*
Starschwar: Its okay, Math... belive me, I've made bigger mistakes.
xYasx: You didn't drive into a wall, did you?
Mathalos: Vogt, does M3 move as it would now, or will it be switched before the moves?
Vogt: No, just assume that M2 and M3 are at their planned positions.
Starschwar: Thanks.
Vogt: I can post a new map if you have trouble mentally switching a 2 and a 3.
Vogt: That was a joke by the way.
Mathalos: Just asking for clarification, so M3 doesn't run into a wall thinking it's M2.
Marias: I detected a hint of "burn" in that.
Vogt: Yes.
*xYasx giggles at Vogt.*
*xYasx smacks his forehead at Mathalos.*
*jl10899 holds hands with xYasx.*
Vogt: I will skip the enumeration of the single moves for this turn.
Vogt: The map is updated.
Vogt: Please roll energy.
*Mathalos rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*

Vogt: Phase 2: V1 Right. M1 Left, M2 Right, M3 Move
Vogt: Phase 2: V1 Move. M1 Move, M2 Move, M3 Move
Vogt: 3, sorry.
Vogt: Phase 4: M1 Move, M2 Move, M3 Right
Vogt: Phase 5: M2 Move.
Vogt: M2 tries to move but V1 is already there. Ramming.
Vogt: Both ships, please roll hull.
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
Vogt: Tie. Both ships are hit and at 1 hull.
Vogt: M2 vs V1
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
Vogt: Tie. Reroll.
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
Vogt: Again.
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Vogt: Missed.
*Recursion.RemagDiv is in The Matrix.*
Vogt: The map is updated.
Vogt: Please roll energy.
*xYasx rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
*Mathalos rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Vogt: Phase 1: V1 EMP. M1 Move, M2 EMP, M3 Move
Vogt: Both EMPs have no effect since both ships are landed.
Vogt: Phase 2: V1 Left. M1 Right, M2 Repair, M3 Left
Vogt: M2 is back at 2 Hull.
Vogt: V1 vs M2.
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Vogt: Hit. M2 is at 1 hull.
Vogt: Phase 3: V1 Move. M1 Move, M2 Repair, M3 Move
Vogt: V1 rams into M2.
Vogt: Hull checks.
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
Vogt: Hum...
Vogt: It is the first time a repairing ship is rammed.
*xYasx is frustrated.*
Starschwar: So is the damage deducted from the restored amount?
Starschwar: In other words, am I down to 1 hull, or zero?
Marias: I guess it's a question of what is calculated first.
Vogt: Yes. It is a loophole we haven't figured yet.
Vogt: We'll make it simple.
Vogt: Just like contested moves, the ship with the highest energy roll will act first.
Vogt: Please roll energy.
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 1*
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*Recursion.Merrit is in The Matrix.*
Marias: Ouch.
Vogt: M2 repairs.
Vogt: Hull checks.
*Starschwar rolls a number between 1 and 3: 3*
*Marias rolls a number between 1 and 3: 2*
Vogt: M2 resists. V1 loses one hull and is disabled.
Marias: No good.
Mathalos: Good work, guys.
Vogt: The match is over. Machines win.
Marias: At least I have an idea of what to do now.
Starschwar: Well played, Marias.
xYasx: Well fought, Marias. It would have been a lot more interesting with a full team against us.
Marias: Yeah, definitely.
Vogt: Yes.
*xYasx cheers for Mathalos.*
*xYasx cheers for Starschwar.*
Vogt: You also did the right move I think.
Starschwar: Yeah, get some of your friends to get thisr ships registered and we'll see how we do an even footing.
Starschwar: * on even
Marias: I wasn't sure of what happened after another ship is hit. I figure that everyone is afforded nub moments.
Vogt: Machines each get 3 rank points. Marias get 1 point.
Starschwar: Thanks for coordinating this, Vogt.
Marias: Yeah, it was interesting.
*You target [Vogt] the level 40 Kung Fu Master.*
*[Vogt] is friendly.*
Vogt: Mathalos and xYasx, you are now elligible to receive the rank of Private and the medal awarded for it.
*xYasx shakes Vogt's hand.*
Marias: I'll bug more people into helping out next time.
Starschwar: Wow. Congrats, guys.
*Mathalos shakes Vogt's hand.*
*Starschwar salutes to Mathalos.*
*Starschwar salutes to xYasx.*
xYasx: Awesome. Thanks again, Vogt.
Marias: And what is the benefit of gaining a rank?
jl10899: Vogt, where do i sign up for the battles
Marias: Any points awarded?
Mathalos: Thanks again, Vogt.
Marias: For additional stats.
Vogt: You get a rank, a medal item and a bonus point to upgrade your ship.
Starschwar: Jl, there's a thread on dn1's next rennisance called "hovercraft battles"
*HostileIntention is in The Matrix.*
Starschwar: Wait... the medal exists within the matrix?
jl10899: Cool
Vogt: Yes.
Starschwar: Nice.
Vogt: Don't think we have asked you to create microscopic images just for fun.
Starschwar: I had a hunch about that.
Vogt: I will contact Agent Gray to inform him of the promotion. You should get your medal in the next days.
*fluvirus is offline.*
Mathalos: Awesome.
Vogt: Also, since the upgrading system isn't in place yet, I will upgrade the stats manually. Just send me which one of the 4 stats you want a point in.
Mathalos: I assume they are non-tradeable?
Vogt: No.
Vogt: The only way to fully redesign a ship's stats is by trading it for a new one, thus losing all rank points for the crew.
Mathalos: I meant the medals.
Vogt: Upgrade points are given as a benefit from the machines for your work accomplished.
Vogt: Yes.
Vogt: Also, to give a chance for lower rank operatives, a higher rank captain can only claim a position for a battle if at the time of the battle all the spots aren't filled with lower level ranks.
Mathalos: I would like my point added to Ballistics.
*xYasx nods at Vogt.*
Vogt: Alright.
*HostileIntention cheers for Vogt.*
xYasx: Fair enough
xYasx: I'd like mine added to Shield.
HostileIntention: Is it possible to get a ship renamed?
Vogt: Yes.
Vogt: Give me a few minutes, I'll do that all at once.
HostileIntention: I may have not caught onto the "HvCFT" lingo..
HostileIntention: I failed a little..
xYasx: Nothing new.
*jl10899 is offline.*
*xYasx giggles at HostileIntention.*
Starschwar: I omitted it from my entry as well, but Vogt was kind enough to fix that.
HostileIntention: I can't argue with taht.
HostileIntention: ...
Vogt: Marias, you have your point.
Marias: How many until each promotion?
Vogt: 10 for each rank.
Marias: Understood.
Vogt: 3 points for Starschwar.
Vogt: 3 for Mathalos, his rank and 1 point in ballistic.
*Thursday, October 11, 2007 8:51 PM*
*Starschwar nods.*
Vogt: 3 for xYasx, his rank and 1 point in Shield.
Vogt: And finally hostileintention, what name do you want for your ship?
xYasx: Thanks, sir.
Starschwar: And yeah, thanks again for running this Vogt - I really enjoyed it.
Vogt: Hum, the ranked ships are listed at the end of the captains roster.
Vogt: And the images and rank names aren't there. I'll try to have them done tonight.
Vogt: Fastest match so far... The fact that Marias knew the rules helped.
Mathalos: Thank you for your time, Vogt.
Starschwar: Yeah, he did really well for a beginner.
*MissTeack is offline.*
Marias: Only gets better from here.
*xYasx tips his hat to Marias.*
*Starschwar gives Marias the thumbs up.*
*aragal is offline.*
Vogt: Good, the ladder is fixed.
*Shaylynn is offline.*
*MissTeack is in The Matrix.*
Mathalos: Vogt, should we be Rank 5 or 1? When I think of Rank 1 I think of on top.
*aragal is in The Matrix.*
xYasx: Rank 1 was the lowest in the design threads.
Mathalos: Oh, ok.
Starschwar: Besides, they'll have th real icons up soon.
TheTaborTerror: with an outfit like that Mathalos i thought you only thought of the Bottom
HostileIntention: ...
Marias: ...
TheTaborTerror: ....
Mathalos: ...
*Starschwar crosses his arms at TheTaborTerror.*
Mathalos: Security!
Starschwar: ...
HostileIntention: Smithers...release the hounds!
*HostileIntention points to the left.*
*You look around.*
*Mathalos examines TheTaborTerror.*
Vogt: The rank request have been sent to Agent Gray.
Vogt: I should have the rank images on the roster done in 2 minutes.
*MissTeack is offline.*
*RNAi is in The Matrix.*
Starschwar: Wow, you work fast.
*eternalalpha is in The Matrix.*
Vogt: The icons are set.
Vogt: Now, the names.
*xYasx was just killed by Marias.*
*HostileIntention was just killed by deecode.*
Starschwar: I think Hostile's the only one who needs a change.
HostileIntention: you broke my pants!
Starschwar: Starschwar sighs.
Vogt: Yes, that looks good..
*eternalalpha was just killed by Marias.*
Vogt: I don't like the names in fact, I think I'll only keep the icon. Cleaner that way.
HostileIntention: Yea whoever made those names should be slapped.
*HostileIntention looks around.*
xYasx: I agree. I voted for Gookin.
Vogt: No, not the names themselves.
deecode: I voted for kodos
Vogt: I'm talking about the display.
xYasx: Yeah, I know, I was just winding Hostile up.
Mathalos: Yeah, it looks too cluttered
Vogt: It's cleaner with just the image.
Starschwar: Oh, the rank names... yeah, the ones with the rank of "captain" above the lowest rank seems odd, since all of us are already captains of our ships...
Starschwar: Oh, I see, an asthetic choice. Yeah, that works better.
Vogt: There.
Starschwar: Oh, that does look nice.
*Recursion.Rylet is in The Matrix.*
Vogt: Oh, very important note.
Starschwar: Yees?
Vogt: It will be present in the document I should have ready soon, but it isn't yet.
*RNAi was just killed by deecode.*
Vogt: Don't take risks by having your medals on yourself if you enter combat.
Vogt: You might lose them. Keep them secure in your code archive.
Starschwar: Ah, like code fragments?
xYasx: Ok.
Vogt: Yes.
*Marias was just killed by HostileIntention.*
*ambrose1 was just killed by Ballak.*
Vogt: Well, I guess I'll leave you to your other type of battle.
*You are wondering about something.*
Starschwar: Thanks again, Vogt.
*deecode was just killed by HostileIntention.*
*Starschwar salutes to Vogt.*
*Vogt salutes.*
*Mathalos salutes to Vogt.*
