ANNOUNCEMENT The War Part II "This Time its Personal" - Timings

Thanks for taking part in the poll everyone. The next skirmish in the Endless Battle between Empire (Emperor's Elite) the Federation (Federal Intelligence Service) will be this weekend as follows;

Date: Sunday 9th March
Time: 20.00 GMT
Venue: Alpha2.02 "Endless War"
Dress code: Pants (at least)

ALL WELCOME!!!

I urge everyone to take part as we don't know if this kind of this kind of organized mayhem will be practical in a weeks time when Alpha 3 is released.

Teamspeak Channels are kindly made available by Kroy and Gen-Han-Solo. I suggest the FIS and their supporters use Kroy's server, and the EE and supporters those of Gen-Han-Solo. Connection details are:
Federal Intelligence Service (Kroy) PBF Link
Emperors Elite (Gen-Han-Solo)Forum Link
Please contact Kroy or Gen-Han-Solo direct if you have any problems

Last week there was also lively comment on the Facebook pages of each Agency, so choose a side and show your support on teamspeak and Facebook
Emperor's Elite
Federal Intelligence Service

During last week's skirmish there were reports on the Galactic News ticker that there was a howdydoo about turncoats and double agents, i.e. people changing sides. While this is not a hard and fast rule, I would encourage people to stick to a chosen side to encourage team spririt.

Players who have not chosen a side (i.e. show up as orange) have either not yet had a chance to choose a side or are official observers or are recording the action, so please no shooty shooty unless someone shows up as red on your radar (Yes Psykokow I saw what you did to poor Jenner :D). Please choose your faction as soon as you enter the scenario. As organiser I reserve the right to come in on either side so as not to show favour :)

Please remember this is an Alpha test still, so not everyone will have the same experience. Last week, some people experienced epic battles on an unprecedented scale, while others just had the odd bit of combat, but whatever your connection state it will still be fun. Dont forget to submit tickets for new issues.

Even if you dont have access to Alpha, I would encourage you to choose a side and join in the chat on Teamspeak and Facebook.

Hopefully some people will be streaming live (Kerrash, Psykokow et al if you wouldn't mind, pretty please :) Link to Kroys list of Streamers

The reason the committee has gone with this timing is that Saturday and Sunday eve/night came out as the most popular overall. A time was chosen where most people can probably make it and so that it is not ridiculously early for people in the Americas, and not silly-o'clock late for people to the east of Greenwich. There were technical issues for Teamspeak on Saturday, so that, combined with the fact that I have to babysit the younglings on Saturday, was the reason Sunday was chosen. Apologies to Commanders in the Antipodes :(.

I expect to play for at least 3 hours in any case. Its no problem to join early to get a bit of practice, or late if you prefer, but I would encourage all participants to make an effort to join at 8pm GMT and stay for at least an hour so we can get the max amount of people in the game at the same time.

Have fun, see you out there.

Pants!? Well that rules me out :( (and not being in alpha)
Cant do anything about your pants, but hopefully people will be streaming and all are welcome to join the Teamspeak channels and Facebook pages, so it would be fun even if you cant play yet. :)

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
I'll definitely try to be there. Kow - no technical issues will save you this time. ;)

Dress Code: Implemented.

Cool, hope to be there.

Will be doing video capture at first (20-30 mins, if there is enough action), so guns will be kept in my pants.
Will choose a side and join the fray when bored of filming.
 
those Facebook pages seem to have the same members on both sides! hmm :p

I'm side agnostic, which side needs reinforcements?

That's because we're best of enemies. :p

I can't give you any advice on which side to join only that switching sides might bring double trouble. Both factions expect loyalty - I'm not trying to tell you how to play the game though. ;)
 
I should be around Sunday evening so I may well join in. If I do you should all fear me*












*I will probably crash into you, I fly terribly and will probably have been to the pub for Sunday lunch.

This should probably be the motto of all Elite pilots. Followed by "Quite frankly I'm a liability, I wouldn't want me on my side"
 
Teamspeak Alternatives

Its possible there may be some issues with the Teamspeak channels in the OP that may not be resolved by Sunday.

Does anyone have an alternate they wouldn't mind us using for the night, just in case?
 
How do you choose a side when you enter the scenario?

Good question.

1. Activate the User Interface (UI) ( I'm not sure what the default key mapping is for UI focus mode) its on the right hand side of your cockpit.
2. Go to the "Options" tab
3. Select "Faction" (Default is NO FACTION)
4. Choose Empire or Fed.

Note: you can currently only choose a faction in scenarios that support it. It is disabled in Ethics and Credits for example.
 
I'll hopefully be there, not been able to play for a couple of weeks so this'd a great time to return

As I'm out of practice I expect to die a lot!
