As stated, this battle will happen this coming Saturday, April 11th at 5 PM MCT (5 PM Pacific, 6 PM Mountain, 7 Central, 8 Eastern, 1 AM GMT [if you blokes are on daylight savings - if not, midnight]).
This battle will allow for a maximum of four participants from each side (Zion, EPN, Machinist, Cypherite, and Merovingian) and will be both server and rank inclusive. If you wish to participate, you will be granted a slot on a first come, first serve basis. That is, whoever posts first in one of the four Next Renaissance threads secures themselves a spot in the battle, with those posting after them functioning as alternates.
If you would like to register a new ship for this battle, please register at hovercraftbattles.110mb.com and notify me of your registration via a PM. Your ship will appear on the form on the original site and I will manually update the new one. You can get a good sense of the rules at hovercraftbattles.110mb.com/Rules.htm. If you have any questions, please PM me.
This battle will be special - both in scenario and map arrangement, and those who participate will have their experience values received doubled. That is, if you win and survive, you will receive 6 XP. If your side is victorious, but you are disabled, you will receive 4 XP. If your side fails to achieve victory, you will receive 2 XP.
The objective for this map will be for Merovingian or Machinist/Cypherites to pass Zion and EPN forces to exit the map through the side on which EPN and Zion will begin. The Merovingians will achieve victory if one of their ships can pass through the Zion side. Machinists/Cypherites will have to send 2 ships total between the two organizations through the Zion/EPN side in order to succeed.
Should this happen, Merovingian forces will achieve victory (6 XP if alive/exited for victory, 4 if disabled) and will reduce the maximum amount of XP Zion/EPN can achieve to 4 XP (if they are able to eliminate all Cypheites/Machinists from passing through, 3 if disabled). Zion will lose automatically if the Machinists/Cypherites can pass 2 total ships between their organizations through the gate, but will still be required to defend against the Merovingian forces. Under such conditions, the Machinists will achieve victory, and if the Merovingian forces manage to enter, they will receive 4 XP for their victory (3 if disabled).
If you have any questions, please post them here and I will attempt to answer them.
