The Dangerous Games: The Rise to Power!

@Zac - so just to have a clear understanding of how the Games will look - the main event will be 6 simultaneous CG's, 1 for each contestant. This will repeat 4 times, so there will be 24 CG's in total in the course of 4 weeks. The contestant that completes (or farthest progresses) the most CG's wins the competition. Is this correct?

did he say there would 4 four separate CGs or just one?

Four separate CGs I think...

And Im betting they will cover various activities like

1) Fighting in combat zones against thargoids
2) Exploring while dodging Thargoids
3) Mining Thargoid Excrement ("Barnacles")
4) Hauling metal to throw at Thargoids

I'd hope they drop the exploration and mining CG, since neither has anything to do with PP, and they put in a Piracy CG

It will be four seperate CGs. Each one will geta score.

It will likely include things that aren't PP specific and there will be a reason given. Perhaps they are developing their fleets or other reasons. :)

Seems a bit strange that there will be CGs to prove who has the most player support when the CG activities might not be related to what they will actually be doing as a power.
If FDev wants to incorporate exploration and mining in PP I think everyone involved is all for more variety in the activities each power does.

But having the new power be created on the back of something like handing the most exploration data just feels like setting up this new Power to fail.

Shouldn't they have to prove they have the hauling and combat capabilities to complete the actual activities the power will have to do each and every week?
 
Delta Squadron Contract

Can I get the good neighbor discount? [yesnod]

I believe Stevie is the cash enforcer discount arranger chap, contracts of employment apply to all whom may hire us.

See example below: (T&C's are subject to amendment and terms are issued on a case by case basis):


Delta Squadron Contract of Employment



This agreement is a binding legal contract between you, the client ............. and Delta Squadron.

Before you digitally sign, please read everything carefully and be aware that "care bears", griefers or pirates need not apply as your application will be declined out of hand!

Agreement Date: 28/04/3302

What is covered by this agreement


  • Delta Squadron has agreed to perform wing sorties for the duration of your CG on the basis that you remain a “fee paying customer” for the event.
  • In respect of any protection contract should you subsequently cease to be a "fee paying customer" by not completing your agreed payment terms, and in consequence leaving the squadron in financial deficit we reserve the right to cause all kinds of grievous damage and pain (standard costs) through any means at our disposal to recoup aforementioned costs!

Other points


  • Immediately before you signed this agreement, we verbally explained to you the effect of this agreement and in particular the circumstances in which you may be liable to pay our "standard costs".
  • Fee/payment terms have been covered separately and agreed upon prior to any flight sorties being conducted and the signing of this document.
  • The details of the missions to be conducted by Delta Squadron are to be submitted to the Squadron Council prior to the signing of this document


  • I confirm that Delta Squadron has verbally explained to me the matters above and I have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

This thread is moving too quickly for me to keep up. Has the wildcard faction been decided? If not then when will it, so that the Dangerous Games can commence?

First round of the dangerous games is voting on who will be the 5 entrants in the wildcard competition.

The original post says they still haven't confirmed all 12 who put their names forward are eligible yet, I guess after they figure out which PMFs can enter they will be begin the vote.
 
Are the CGs locked down yet, or could you open one up to community suggestions?

I'd like to see CGs that demonstrate key PowerPlay strategies:
Turtle.
Bubble flip.
Snipe.
5C.
Weaponised Expansions.
Expanding out of turmoil (non Alliance powers only).

Any others folks would like to see?

Be a bit tedious if it's just a Fortification Simulator.

As the propaganda is supposed to play a major role in this (and its fun), I propose official "reddit warfare" CG ;)

I get the distinct impression the dangerous games have a secondary purpose.

And maybe not all of the "losers" will walk away with nothing? Since CGs tend to have global rewards right? :D
