Vogt

Thanks everyone. It's with great pride that I leave you, both allies and enemies. My years within the Machine organization will be remembered forever, thanks to you.

I'm all ok with how things are going on so far Neoteny. If you need help, I can provide you some.

For those interested for the files, please send me an email adress. I'll try to send you whatever I can.

Tonight was the last official Hovercraft Battle, and Zion won. Thanks to everyone who put efforts into it. Dedication across all organizations showed me how devoted you all are. What started as a vague idea ended up being a very good produ...

I would then suggest Zion versus Merovingians, on Recursion, at 5 PM MCT, or 6 if it can accomodate someone better.

I'd like to inform you that the last possible window of opportunity for a ranked battle would be tomorrow, Tuesday the 9th. I've recently announced my upcoming retirement to the Syntax Machinists. If anyone is interested in discussing abou...

Neoteny wrote: Will this program be at all impacted by certain changes in the air? Looks like it. I am ready to host one (or two if things go well) last battle. Any suggestions?

EPN won. Only one person showed on each side. Congratulations to Steelle for reaching the rank of Faithful.

This is a reminder for today's battle.

I know that for some, time can be a problem. We did have battles at various hours of the day and even during weekends, and there's not a single timeframe that will accomodate everybody. The evening time period looked to accomodate a good s...

Hello again. As the new year begins, it's time for me to question, yet again, if it's worth continuing overseeing hovercraft battles. Participation is at an all-time low, and just the fact that I'm questionning myself again about it in the...

Zion won, in a 4 vs 2 battle against Merovingians. No one showed on the Machine side. I doubt that such opportunity will show up again. Participation is going down.

Am I right in saying that there are still no machines interested in this battle?

NeoExcidious wrote: Ok. So what time will it be then? I guess it will be at 6.

I am sorry to inform you of this, but the battle scheduled for Sunday will have to be resheduled Monday, at the same time. I hope this won't cause any problem. I would also suggest to start earlier, since it's sure that this battle will ta...

Omega0 wrote: If I were to participate, would I have to use my Recursion ship, or could I use any of my three ships? Yes, you can select your ship.

NeoExcidious wrote: Vogt, given your replies at this battle and your posts previous to it, i figure the next battle will be the cross-server one and it will be the last one of 2008. So when will that be? I'm guessing before X-mas? No rush,...

Zion wins. Congratulations for NeoExcidious for reaching the rank of Lieutenant, to Omega02 for reaching the rank of Operative and to Neoteny for reaching the rank of Captain.

Yes, it is for 6 PM MCT. And we'll need a contestant, either Machines or Merovingians. Machines didn't have a battle in a while there, so if they can make it, it would be better.

Zion has mentionned their interest for tomorrow's battle on Recursion. Are the Machines or Merovingians interested in participating?

Yes. I'm actually thinking of having a cross-server, no rank restriction battle. That will probably be for the last battle of the year.

NeoExcidious wrote: guessing battle wasn't held. is vector going to have another chance or will it be the next server in line? Probably not. We couldn't have a battle either Monday or Tuesday, so Vector will have to wait. Next battle will...

Change of plans, it could occur on Tuesday. If it can result in having a battle actually held, then I'm all in.

I'd say Vector next Monday. Machines vs Zion, at 6 PM.

Bayamos is right. In the Recursion battle, no one from the Machine side mentionned their interest to participate in the battle. The battle was then cancelled, and no rank points are awarded. For yesterday's battle, someone on the Zion side...

Syntax. Indeed, no Zion nor EPN. I remind you that Cypherites and EPN captains have no limits in joining the battles for their associated organization anymore, and in consequence will not have battles scheduled only for them anymore, unles...

Machines won by default. 2 out of the 3 last battles scheduled actually did not happen.

Starting from now, conflictual actions will be resolved by an Energy roll, like before, but the difference is that the winner will decide if he or she acts first or last. This is mostly applicable when ramming a ship that is repairing, mul...

I do like the proposition. I did think about it a long time ago, but changing rules that have been used since a long time can be complex. This solution would definitely be extremely advantageous for ramming strategies with a good combinati...

Zion won.

Yes, it's ok for me.

An anomaly was found. Cross Financial Logistics was involved in the transfer of 1 billion $ to a company named The Klyden Venture Group.

Amazing.

Thanks.

Protecting the System is our duty. Defending humans in the pods is essential to our operations. But it's not everyday that thanks to the courage and efficiency of our men, we saved a life. Those interested in seeing what operatives were wo...

EPN knew that Cypherites stole the data on the rendez-vous point. We were expecting resistance, and thus, had to provide adequate forces.

They were not initially planned. They were finally at the battle area so they had to be taken into account.

EPN/Zion won. It's obvious that this was a difficult battle. Many things were learned from it. We'll try to adapt the system if such critical battle comes again. Congratulations to -Neoteny and Fenshire for getting the rank of Lieutenant -...

No instructions were given in regards to Cypherites. Operatives had to use any means necessary to make sure this operation would succeed.
