Anyway, I agree. The caps was abit of a poo-up. We were told via skype that there were battleships on your side. Which proved to be, well, bull. Next time's gonna be different.
You can't blame it all on the GRN though. There were three people involved in organising this, myself incluided. Which made it abit hard. When I was online, the other two werent, or when one of the other two were online, I wasn't. Things like that.
We either need to start organising better or call the whole thing off. Also, I was just told about a random indi battleship flying in guns blazing at the GRN. What the hell? >_>
:nono: This is all about fun and actually spending some time doing something we all like and dedicate something.Don't turn this into blood fest and trauma for life.

Yup, some random council showed up and started shooting.
Problem was that, we were told that there were battleships on your side as already stated, along with a number of bombers, 2 cruisers, and a gunboat. It just seems that our two battleships had that much more firepower...
Well...as a wise man said,we must learn from our mistakes.
And we will do this exact same thing.
Next time the event will be much more ogranised,both in RP and PvP Balanced.
Atleast I hope so.:rolleyes:
Eh. I turned up on my GRP, it was aparently due to some mis-communication? It's probably best we leave that be and concentrate on how to not balls-up so baddly next time...
It'd probably be a lot easier ( duller too for some I guess... unfortunate but eh) to leave it at fighters only for the first few, and make the events more complex and interesting?
I think it's time someone on the Council side got the faction's rear end in gear, but I also think that certain restrictions on the GRN need to be put in place. Two of our battleships are RPed as the princess and as the GRN's Grand Marshall. Any others, well, are just battleships.
I'd hate to be apart of the new Liberty, I joined Gallia originally when things were small, there was a nice community with the prospect of these battles. I've spoken with one of our battleship players and I honestly think that it's our fault for allowing pvp-oriented players fly ships with little regard for RP.
That being said. The lolwut Council battleship that opened fire originally dropped the ball. His attack caused us to call for backup, which spiralled into the balls up we experienced later.
Alright I just got back and have spoken to several people who were at the event. Here is my understanding of what happened:
The GRN forces were balanced with he understanding that the council had a BS. The BS became entangled with the GRN forces before the battle officially started and got killed. A re-balance did not take place. I also gather there was some miscommunication when it came to the balancing.
First of all I would like to offer my sincere apologies to anyone that felt slighted. I promise I will do everything in my power to keep this from happening in the future. Here are some of the immediate consequences of what happened today:
If I am not present I grant Exile the power of event organizer. If he asks you to leave or switch out, you do it. If you dont, he gets an admin. If neither of us can be present I will either find another organizer or cancel the event.
Planning will occur sooner and more detailed backup plans will be made.
If anymore shenanigans, especially engagements between people in the event zone before the event begins, occur, all parties who open fire risk losing the privilege of participating in this event.
Oh, and if your not sure I can do this last one, feel free to look at this:
Quote:[4:50:52 PM] Saint Del says: Events are up to the organiser to decide who gets in, you can logically ask anyone to butt out, and if you think they won't ask an Admin to remove them if they get involved
If you would like to comment on any of this feel free to post here or contact me privately. Now can we all try and be friendly to each other please?

I was the indie. And unless you cheats, you can't blast someone from 11k away.
I was 11k to Casablanca, waiting for other councils when after a few some talking, the GRN BS (I don't have his/her name exactly) moved to my position and spammed the trebuchets before entering the primary turrets range. Then, a cruiser came in support and that was the first death (killing a cruiser in a BS is just taking about 5 seconds), then me a few moment later.
This incident bring also a balance problem, I almost killed the GRN BS, I could success if my trebuchets would hit (shield regen just at time for first and a miss for second). The GRN BS, being heavier than Council one, is not strong enough, even with a cruiser support, to destroy a council BS.
