Faction (also indies of course): [color=#FF9900]ICMG
Shiptype 1: Transport, Atlas (IMG)
Shiptype 2 (if you change ships during the event): Gunboat, Hydra (IMG Gaurd), for escort.

<strike>I am unsure which ICMG will be about Sunday. Is it okay if whomever I persuade to join-in, signs up post hoc?</strike>

EDIT: Why the hell am I talking like the queen?... Can we sign up after the event on Sunday?

also, my escort:

Okay, it seems there will be quite some people and I am curious what will happen. =)

It would be nice, if more players that told me they'd come would actually register, so I get a better overview of how strong the different parties are.

Looking formward to seeing you tomorrow. =)

Okay, a few more hours to go, and it's time to write down some more "rules of conduct".

1. The Spirit of the Event:

This is event wants to create good fun and action.
It is not an OORP competition that must be won by one side. So...

Don't take things too seriously
Don't break FL-rules
Don't stretch FL-rules in order to gain advantages
But just play fair, play nice and have a good time

No side can "win" this event. The course of the IMG-Rheinland conflict is already mapped and only minor changes and additions will be made to that. So... you can really relax in this one, as no bases will be lost, no territories swapped, no FR5s will follow, no on can lose anything for real, whatever the outcome may be.

That's the perfect basis for avoiding OORP-QQ, frustration and hate =)

2. Fairness and Numbers

It's impossible for me to balance the numbers. So it is the responsibility of the faction leaders to make sure that their team doesn't unbalance the fighting too much.

In the event, likely the following parties will make an appearance:

IMG, ICMG, CR
their "allies" in the O7 conflict: RHA, RF, SCRA
against: RM, RFP, DHC

You see: 6 factions against 3.

Consequently it is essential for the event that:

IMG allies balance their fighting capacities with Rheinland forces (which would in reality be very powerful and numerous there)
No side is steamrolled by a huge gank (remember: it's not about winning)

It would be best if you had a transport character ready so that you can jump on that one if you see in the player list that it's not balanced at the moment. So you can still participate in the event, be a target for some until, until the numbers allow for the introduction of your fighting equipment.

3. Don't bring characters that should not be there

I realize that O7 is a playground for many factions, but not all can come.

This is an Rheinland-IMG Omega 7 political event.

There is no room for Liberty strike forces, Corsair fleets, Wilde attacks, Nomad incursions, Pirate groups popping up, AI-Cruisers, Order peeking in, Merc factions coming in force, etc... (no insult intended in the examples, I just named some random things that I do not think would enrich the event scenario)

If you think your group of players should make an appearance, you still have some time to contact me.

4. Gentlemen's agreement addition:

In case of RM being steamrolled (which is against the aim of the event and would spoil it), you cannot report RM for bringing in a second wave of reinforcements. Let's just not make that happen.

If the numbers are heavily unbalanced, some factions might retreat for OORP reasons. Let them. Then just fly away, dock in another system, and join later when the numbers are better (or hop on a transport!). It's covered in the new rules, so that you can come back to the fight. Of course it's not in the spirit of the event to have one side place a "scout" at the bases and say things like: "I saw you dock, you cannot...". It's against the spirit of the event and thus you cannot do that. Remember: it's not about winning.

[color=#FF9900]2h 30 min to the event.

Use "Server Time" ( here, in 1st line ) to calculate the start. GMT and daylight saving hours in Europe just get people confused.

And because I was asked and had a discussion about it:

No Mercs, please.

Reason: Mercs blur the political scenario, that is clear cut as "IMG+allies" vs "Rheinland". If you add Mercs, it's all about the question: "Who shoots whom" and "Who is on whose side". Sorry. I know many would love to harvest on the many targets present there.

You are very welcome to bring a character that belongs to one of the two sides. Nothing in between. Sorry.
