Okinawa Events with GMG vs Hogosha

[pipboy]

-These events have real and actual consequences to the development of this system so win/loss will be recorded. Yes that means one or more of the projects can be stalled or completed for 4.86. Attendance would be mandatory for a system at stake.

-Numbers: I am speaking for GMG| (they can still object to this on this thread) when I say that numbers don't really matter to us, the event still goes through. What I mean by this is, I am not interested in spending an hour shuffling players around until we have equal forces. These events have real consequences, showing up to the battle is one of the major tactics to winning that battle. If a side loses cause they are outnumbered than a win is still recorded to the otherside. If a side decides to cancel the event cause of no shows and the little remaining doesn't want to come and take their whooping than they forfeit and a win is recorded for the other side.

Love this idea, and I totally agree. All is fair in love and war after all. I've always been of the opinion that if one faction only has a few players they probably shouldn't be fighting a war with one that has two dozen. Trying to balance numbers is fine in a fun fight, but in a fight where something is at stake both sides should throw in everything they have. That said I think our two factions are fairly close in numbers. At least close enough that it works.

OK, just checked your member list. Maybe we're not close but that's no big deal to me if you don't care.

-Allies: GMG has two allies directly involved with two of it's projects; Kishiro and the Isehara Terraforming Platform as well as DSE and the Sigma 19 Gate Construction Site. Fujisawa Mining Facility is secured by GMG alone but GMG always has the ever present BD lurking nearby. Hogosha, on the otherhand, doesn't have any allies that are directly involved (I could be wrong). This all can be discussed. My opinion is to allow Hogosha to bring in FA and Corsair allies to support them and we really don't mind going against capships that are spiced in there (we miss seeing them Corsairs). GMG could defend their locations with BD help (another source of caps perhaps, I don't mind what each side brings, it still happens) and the Player faction directly involved with the respective operation, that being either DSE or Kishiro.

-Ships/Equip: Bring anything, both sides are fighting for results and I'm curious about what strategies are going to be applied here. Really as for I see it if your faction allows it bring it; all ship classes and weapons allowed (within RP guidelines). I've seen it before, if a missileboat comes in it ends up being the first one put down, keep that in mind if you want to show up for some fun. Using unfair loadouts to look for solo flyers and little groups is one thing but in an event this only causes that player to gain the attention of all the enemies nearby which means every Nuke, Energy shot, Missile and Torp is headed your way. In my experience these "noticeables" only last seconds anyways.

There is an old saying (I forget by who), that says one should never risk his entire fortune unless he is bringing his entire army. Something like that...

Once again, I like the sound of this as well.

-Locations: This is an offensive on Hogosha (and maybe allies) part and a defensive on GMG (and maybe allies) part. This means GMG will have the advantage of home turf, base, NPCs etc.. Both sides should keep this in mind. Hogosha will need the force to compensate and, as mentioned above, GMG| will have to understand this significant detail before I hear any complaints about being outnumbered (not that I hear any). The Locations are Isehara Terraforming Platform, Sigma 19 Gate Construction Site and Fujisawa Mining Facility.

Sounds great to me, lets get it on! Well lets hammer out all the details, and then get it on... ;)
