Can we vary the nights of the battles?

I can try. (Every other) Tuesday is what works best for me, since I have duty and can't leave my building anyway. Most weekends as well as most weeknights. There was a battle last night because I'm on spring break right now and have more options.
Monday nights might be a possibility.
Neoteny, any way you would be able to give us more of an advance notice than the day of?

Yeah, I endeavor to be better at this. The only reason this one was as impromptu as it was, was because the Dead Winter Dead event was coming to an end, and I wanted that hovercraft battle to be a part of it.
Alright, since I'm finding it kind of a pain in the asss to keep uploading things to mediafire (and I'm sure you don't look there anyway) I registered hovercraftbattles.110mb.com as a way of mirroring Vogt's hovercraft battles site (all the work there is his - Vogt, if you have a problem with me running this, e-mail me ASAP and I will take it down) with updated stats. I don't have the money to fund a page like the awardspace one, so this one is free, and pretty damnn functional.
The only problem I've been having, since I'm no pro web designer and I'm working with someone else's code, is that registration buttons update the awardspace page and not the 110mb page. Login buttons also redirect to the awardspace page. So long as the awardspace page remains active, this shouldn't be a problem. If it goes down, however, I'll simply ask new participants to tell me their chosen stats in-game before a battle, and will update the page manually.
Everything else is functional, and since I believe this will pretty much only be used as a rank/stat reference, it should pose no problem.
If you are a pro with form submission and editing, let me know if you can give some of this a crack.
I'm all ok with how things are going on so far Neoteny. If you need help, I can provide you some.

Essentially, I don't understand form submission across files. I know enough java to get by (never really dealt with javascript and it's been 2 years since I've done anything). I think I've got a lot of stuff okay, though I don't think the way my copying worked was the most efficient, it works in the necessary ways. The only things that won't work are registering hovercraft and logging in.
I'd be willing to take any help and/or advice you can offer, Vogt. My e-mail is still the same - please contact me! (I have your e-mail buried in a lot of spam, I think).
Additionally, I have made a new change to the site and, to an extent, how the battles will work today. From now on, the mostly unused combat page will now feature the battle currently being played out, or, if there is not one, the last scene from the last battle.
This should streamline things a bit more, since there will not be a new page for every battle. There will still be periods of map downtime when I upload the new image, but it should make it possible for spectators and participants alike to find the battle without a question.

EDIT: Rules have been slightly updated due to incorrect links and to explain the /roll macro and other necessary/recommended resources for playing the game online via MxO.

EDIT: Bolding errors fixed. Other minor color/formatting fixes.
The rules have now been updated to be more clear and correct (the current awardspace rules indicate that a ship without an action in a phase can still fire turrets, which is not accurate).
Hopefully, this will make the game easier for new players to learn.
Neoteny, send me a PM. I can help you with the switch over the new web address, modifying any reference that might still point to Vogt's site.
I would love to take part in these battles again, however, the only days I can participate are Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.

Mondays and Tuesdays will probably end up being the standard faire because they're the days I have the least to do. I have children in the morning on Wednesday (and usually a host of other crap later on), night class Thursday, and generally a bunch of social things to do Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As such, if I am to host a battle those days (which I will aim to do at least at some point, since I know the weekends are probably best for everybody) notification will probably be impromptu, though I'll aim to have it sooner rather than later.
I'll be trying to do regular battles on Mondays and Tuesdays (probably either or). However, this week is pretty much hell, as is the next, though it might be possible for me to do a battle next Tuesday starting as early as 4 PM MCT. I would like to know if there is interest in this. If it needs to start later, it can. I would like to keep this battle to a 3 v 3 (one org against one other) and would like for it to be all-inclusive server-wise, which means I can host it on any server you like, but will allow participants from any server. For this battle, you'll also have to excuse me for a few small periods of time, since I will be on duty and will have to go monitor the dorm hall or switch locations.
As opposed to my previous two battles, this will not have any special conditions or objective. It'll just be by the books.
I simply need a reply from three members of two organizations.

I should be able to make it.
This is just a reminder that a one force v. one force battle will be held tomorrow at around 6 PM MCT, unless there are enough individuals participating who would like it to begin earlier.
This battle will be cross-server, but so far the only person to suggest their presence has been Omega, so it will be Zion against another force, but the other force has not volunteered themselves yet. If you are interested in participating, please state so here.
(( I'd attend, but I'm going out with my family tomorrow night...))
I just logged in, since, due to technical difficulties involving wireless internet, I was unable to do so sooner.
I do not currently see any captains from any force, however. I will wait a few minutes, but if no captains show, I will attempt to push this back an hour to 7 PM MCT. If no one shows then, the battle will be cancelled.
EDIT: Battle is now 100% cancelled due to lack of interest and my having to report to sketch practice during RA duty.
