OUTCAST EVENT, all outcasts please do read

[maximus995]

* you see a nicely decorated room and a young man sitting behind his desk in a fine looking uniform*

Hola people of the maltese nation

Some of you know me, most of you dont. for the ones that dont know me, im Maximus De Castilla. in case you dont know yet, im an outcast. My familly has been growing cardamine for as long as the history books can trace back. but when i look at the Maltese nation now, my outcast heart just bleeds. the IMG and the CR rising in the tau systems, the gallics turning up near our homesystem, the sairs raiding our beloved omicron alpha and last but not least the increased protection from houses against cardamine smuggling. However we are a strong nation, a powerfull nation, a righteous nation, we can smite down these enemies as if they were flies, toghetter my brothers and sisters we can achieve anything, TOGHETTER we are the strongest nation sirius has seen and will ever see. Toghetter.... there is my latest point of concern, rumours have reached my villa on malta that the bonds between us regular independent outcasts and our guardians, our leaders, our shepherds, none other than the 101ST are fragile and could be best described as disastrous. I ask of you my brethern how can we prevail over our enemies if there is internal struggle?

im sure that as a bright people we can solve this in a civil way, ive worked out a way, with the support of the leader of the outcasts: senor Dennis Jameson, i have found a way. One of my Workers will now brief you on the details.

Dont dissapoint me my fellow outcasts, For Malta, For The Maltese Nation, For the orange dream...

*Maximus gets up and walks out the room, a skinny man with glasses runs into the room, takes place, and reads nervously:*

here follows the updated list of rules and points that require attention:
--numbers next to a rule will be explained at the bottom--

- No battleships allowed
- only 1 destroyer allowed per group
- Only 2 gunboats allowed per group
- Each group must have 1 member of the 101st and 1 independent outcast
- The 101st will be leading the group (1)

-Battleships will count for 5 points, destroyers 4, gunboats 3, fighters/bombers 2, Transports and miners 1
- guncamshots (screenshots) must be made

(1): After consulting various people, 101st, randoms, indie's, angels, orcs n trolls and such i cant help it but to point out the roleplay factor have put the 101st in position of leading, HOWEVER this doesnt means he has to give orders, he can also just give guidelines.
(2) Squads cant go without corporals, corporals cant go without a squad if ya get my drift

How to hand in your screenshots:
- 2 screenshots will be handed in per kill: one while he's alive (make sure he's selected so IFF is visible n all that), one when he's killed
- only 1 member per group posts
- groupsmembers will be mentioned below the screenshot like this: name, shipclass
- you also mention the system you shot him in

Yes it has changed to person cause there is a possibility you will have to change groups due to the lack of indies/101st. IF the 1st place would be shared(lets say they kept in the same group during the whole event or just accidently have the same number of points) by 3 (random number) the money will be divided among them equally

I hope this settles all of your questions outcasts, i know it is quiet alot to take in but life just aint simple.

(im aware this is the same list as in post 12, i just wrote it here so people only have to read post 1 to know everything)

Spread the news outcasts!!

A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever

Update - allies of the outcast can NOT enter this competition.

Q:Why does the 101st member be in charge?
Q:Are freighters allowed
Q:Why does the 101st member have to be in charge again?
I smell bias.

- let me get out of RP for this one for a sec -

1: cause , wether you like it or not is your problem, the 101st has been granted official jurisdiction. if you dont like it by all means lad, go complain to the admins, go complain to the inventors of the game/mod, do whatever you want about it but dont complain here if ya will. im just stating the current affairs and im trying to build up on it, dont hate the player, hate the game aye?

2: yes transports are allowed

3: the 101st are in charge cause, again like it or not, they ARE the official leaders of the outcasts, and what else should leaders do but leading. this event is especially made to get over the hard feeligns from upset indies like you and the 101st. if its any comfort for you sir: they had to do alot of RP to get into the 101st. why not try to get into the 101st yourself?

i hope those three answers please ya *sun*

1. Is it allowed to shoot our targets everywhere in Sirius, though the systems we travel usually ain`t OC ZOI. (Concerning to Rheinland or Bretonia)?

2.Do Transports bring any points?

*the skinny man with the glasses appears again*

My master Maximus De Castillo is pleased by your intrests and has asked me to respond to any questions you might have, thank you for beeing constructive senores and senoritas

Q:Are freighters allowed

yes they are

1. Is it allowed to shoot our targets everywhere in Sirius, though the systems we travel usually ain`t OC ZOI. (Concerning to Rheinland or Bretonia)?

2.Do Transports bring any points?

1: there are some terrains where kills wont be accepted, due to our diplomatic relations:

• System(s) - Reason
  
• Nomad jurisdiction systems - as senor jameson said, we dont wanna disturb the spirits more than is absolutely neccesary
  
• Phantom systems - we prefer not to give them a reason for disliking us or anything like that
  
• Wilde-wilde Guard system - allies of the spirits, same reason as the nomads
  
• Bretonia systems - we do NOT want to break the peace pact (keep in mind that magellan, tau 31 and newcastle are allowed to kill in)
  
• Rheinland - for the moment this is allowed untill further notice, i will consult with Senor Jameson about this
  

2: Transports are easy to kill, therefore they are only worth 0.5 HOWEVER if you can prove the transport is carrying Artifacts they will count for 1.5 as it would blow a strike against the corsair nation.

My master has asked me to thank you yet again for the constructive questions and the feedback, if you have more questions please do ask.

For Malta, For The Maltese nation, For the orange dream

[[-=XTF=-]Aslan]

Sounds like a fantastic idea,for the 101st to regain some standing with the Indies and boost credit/controle for them selves whilst significantly raising thier profile and curing inactivity issues.

One thing bugs me though and that is that the successful strike teams must be broken into small cells under 101st command leaving them without their normal commanders and interupting the smooth running of operations.

Also how can they concentrate on the task in hand if they must constantly look after the 101st member insuring his/her survival in order to gain the points that they have worked so hard for ,as well as having to organise every thing through 101st as to when they are available etc, surely it would be better that the teams are left to run thier own missions and just produce screans in the normal way of a bounty hunt with perhaps an observer from 101st if there is a need for such.

To be honest it kinda sounds a bit like having a loyal party member of the Government in thier midst for politcle reasons, who must be obeyed but kept safe and out of the line of fire ,you know just like in the world war.

Hola Senor Aslan

First of all thank you for praising my idea and for the possitive and objectif (dont know if thats the right english word for it) feedback. it is much apreciated

One thing bugs me though and that is that the successful strike teams must be broken into small cells under 101st command leaving them without their normal commanders and interupting the smooth running of operations.

I'm perfectly aware the XTF make fine strike groups themselfs without a 101st "leading" them. ive met many before and i know what theyre capable off however what im trying to prevent with the small strike forces is a swarm of sabres, falcatas, tridentes, and so on... were outcasts, we dont need big groups to take down enemies, we want our enemies to fear us even when they meet just a single one of us

Also how can they concentrate on the task in hand if they must constantly look after the 101st member insuring his/her survival in order to gain the points that they have worked so hard for ,as well as having to organise every thing through 101st as to when they are available etc, surely it would be better that the teams are left to run thier own missions and just produce screans in the normal way of a bounty hunt with perhaps an observer from 101st if there is a need for such.

the points they have gained still count, but lets say they kill another one after his destrucion THAT point wouldnt count anymore. besides they still can move on to the next system. and i cant cut out the 101st, its somekind of bonding event between 101st and the rest of us outcasts. leaving them out would defeat the purpose of this whole event. on a side note: the independents must be kept safe as well

I hope i have answered your points sufficiently and i again thank you for the [XTF]'s opinion on this as they represent a significant part of outcast population.

May the spirits be with you and may the orange dream soon be realized

yours sincerly,

Maximus De Castillo

Minor note first Aslan spoke only for himself not the whole of XTF in his message a small detail but one I thought I'd address since you seemed under the impression that it was, thought I'd clear the air there before I spoke myself.
I'll also point out that I myself am only speaking for myself not on behalf of the XTF, this little event has not been bought up to the rest of the XTF in talks yet so what I say here is only myself I am speaking for.

• Each group must have 1 101ST member
  
• Each group must have atleast 1 independent outcast
  
• The 101st MUST be the leader of the group, giving the order to kill, and there must be prove of him being in control/leading
  

I can agree with having one member of the 101st to verify information and even improve relations with others. Good idea can't fault it.
Having at least 1 independant aswell is of course the flip side of this deal and once again I cannot fault it.

The 101st MUST... yup this is where I disagree, this does not help relations at all and insted does the complete opposite. Already others have questioned this rule for varying reasons.
My reason is simple and I'm going to appologize before hand because I'm going to be blunt.
This rule is there to show off the 101st power within the Outcasts nothing more, in my eyes it is nothing more than an ego rub. It may seem rude what I said there but it is also what I see whenever someone tells me that they are my boss when I do not actually work for them.
I would be more than happy to work with and possibly even for them however this would be of my own free will not one forced upon this proud and very stubborn Outcast.

May of been with the best intention at heart so I'd ask you to recosider as it WILL push people away, myself being one of them.
