Tlsc Event Game 3 - Attackers And Defenders

[Mistress Crystal]

I'm very happy for the people that played TERMINATOR WARS! it was a lot of fun. :D MVB said that he'd host the replay, so as soon as that goes up, we'll let you know. It was a good fight. Back and forth for a while... MVB/Morph/me ended up having to steal relics and cripple people in order to win. Good stuff, thank you to Morph/MVB/Quesela/Iyanden/Quietus all for playing. You guys were troopers.


Anyhow... On to business...


ATTACKERS AND DEFENDERS!

Whee!

Date: Wed. November 10th 7pm CST
Map: Bloodshed Alley
Teams: 3vs3 on a volunteer basis
Objectives: Annihilate
Unit rules: None. Anything and everything is fair game (minus bug abuses, of course... SC/plasma nades = no-no(that is, if patch isn't out by the 10th))

Here's how it works.

[edit]***NEW RULE!!*** No building by the attacker past "no-man's land" (the critical location line)


Team 8 = Defenders
Team 1 = Attackers

Team 8 will have 10 minutes to set up the best defense that they can manage. The game will have standard requisitition rule sets. No quick-start, no fast resources. The critical locations will be off-limits to both teams, that middle strip in the map will be no-man's land... in order to keep the requisition even on both sides. Both sides will have 2 slagg deposits, both sides will have 11 strat. points, and 2 relics.

After the 10 minutes is up, the other team will have 1 hour to destroy all 3 bases.

I'll have a timer with me to time both count downs, and you can trust me. :)

Teams will work on a volunteer basis... I want to be an attacker... so there's only 2 more attacker slots left. Whoever decides to be on my team, all the other 3 are defenders.

Team 8 will -not- be allowed to cross the critical location line, the defenders are by no means allowed to attack past that line at any given point. Defeats the whole purpose. If we, the attackers, do not break you within an hour, we will delete bases and concede victory. That's how it'll have to be done.

This will be a murder fest, I can't wait.

Again, if anyone has a problem with the rules, suggestions for things that should be banned, suggestions for anything regarding this game... post it up. If anyone has another event they'd like to see, suggest it. I have events for a long while planned, but that doesn't mean I won't postpone them to keep the populace pleased.

For every event from now come please come in smurf guise. Was a good idea from MVB to keep the intrigue up, and to keep competition down. So... smurf names will be requried from now on. You can keep the same, or make new ones, it's up to you... but new ones are preferred.

Also, MVB... plug your new little game.

Mistress.

PS - Password will be posted in the private forums.

PPS - Check out the TERMINATOR WARS replay. :D Good shit

PPPS - I hate this new forum. It just refused to let me post this thread because I "used too many smileys". The hell was wrong with the other one?

Y hello thar!

How about instead of whining you might just say "Thank you" to the people who went to the expense and effort to set these boards up before the old ones just ceased to exist.

With any forum, especially one that has to be set up from scratch, Stealth will have to tweak and set up usage parameters i.e 10 character minimum, no avatars, too many smileys etc.

Would a little patience be too much to ask?

[Mistress Crystal]

Sure, sure. But what was wrong with the other ones that the same expense and time couldn't fix? Why the change?

[DrunkenUno]

We didn't own the other one, it was owned by a member who hasn't appeared in 6 months, which means at any time he could stop paying for it and we would be without a website.

[Bentusi]

what drunk said.

I like the idea though. 1 Extra rule: No Deepstrike/teleportation behind enemy lines.

Make them come in the front door :)

[Mistress Crystal]

Ahhh, I see. Well now that I know there's a good reason for it, Stealth/Angel and anyone else that's paid for the new forum and has been working on it have a full apology for my out of line comment, and I'll remove it from my post. Forgive me. :)

Mistress.

And in response to 'Tusi... Deepstriking I don't think would be much of a problem. Between the 3 players and that there's just a gigantic, united bottle neck... and having about 2 units from each player that can catch infiltrated units it shouldn't be -that- difficult to stop the infiltration. HOWEVER! It's a possibility I'm willing to strike Deepstriking if two more players will support Bentusi's arguement. :)

[Weavern]

WHY! thats just ludcrious :D the attacker should have all the benefits :) Defenders should have to rely on approperiate means to stop deep strikes. Btw crystal i hate your timing! you always plan these things the same day i have a midterm >_< why never monday or friday...

[Mistress Crystal]

If you can get 4 other people to support monday or friday i'd be glad to reschedule. :)

[laserflip]

you gotta let me in on some of this - i dont really care what team I'm on TBO...tell me what u got left. sounds decent

[Magus]

I'll be there, just remind me... put out mass PM's the day of or day before.

[laserflip]

so, can i be on either team? id rather be on defenders bc i can sit back and chillz0rz, but either one is good. hit me up.

[Magus]

Laser, teams will be assigned when you arrive... Crystal gets to reserve a team since she is hosting it.


And one possible rule: No building by the attacker past the demarcation line. Though this does slightly harm Eldar supply lines, It also removes the possiblity of warping in a battery of D-Cannon...

[Mistress Crystal]

Ahhh! Excellent point, MAgus... duly noted. I'm glad you thoguht of that, because I sure didn't. (obviously)

And no, teams are volunteer :) Laser is more than welcome to be defender if he wants to be. These events are for fun! Only have rules to remain event specific and/or to keep things fair and balanced between teams.

NEW RULE!! - No building by the attacker past "no-man's land" (the critical location line)

[Morpheus]

I can't make it on 10th, so I'm all for friday, but not monday.

And I just have one question about the rules : it doesn't seem to be any different from a standard game. Defending is much easier than assault, you're reinforcing closer to the battle. I can't come up with anything special right now, that would apply to RTS.

[Bentusi]

why no D-cannon?

It's a perfectly feasable idea if we're allowing DS.. It's not like you guys wont have artillery to bash them to peices

[Mistress Crystal]

D-cannons are fine. we're talking about attackers d-cannoning the defenders in.

and there's 2 for friday. if you can get 3 more, i'll reschedule it. :)

[MVB]

Artillery might actually have a use in this game. This should be fun ... I can't decide which team to be on; defenders sounds interesting.

NEW MINI-EVENT

For my own purposes, I'll be using a smurf name during every one of Mistress's games.

This smurf name will be a scientific name of a family, genus, or species of animal that I have worked with in the past. The BEST identification and description of the animal or animals referred to by the name and posted in these forums afterwards will be rewarded with either a small piece of TLSC merchandise of choice (everything from simple t-shirt to buttons or magnets or bumper stickers) OR a custom member title on these boards.

This will go hand in hand with any of Mistress's games that I am able to attend.

The winner will NOT be the fastest respondent; it will be the most clear, concise and comprehensive ID. RAWR for education.

[Quietus]

So can I make a guess to your name during the Terminator Wars game? Only two people I didn't know that game, and one of them was Stomatopod.

Stomatopod:

An order of Crustacea distantly related to crabs shrimp and lobsters. Major invertebrate predators on coral reefs, sea grass beds and sand and rubble flats.

The stomatopod group consists of over 400 described species. They have some of the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom featuring stereo vision with only one eye, wide range of motion, 16 different visual pigments, and the ability to see infrared, ultra violet, and polarized light.

http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/aquarius/labeledpod.jpg

Differences in the raptorial appendages lead to different behaviors. Some of these are called Spearers, which are used to impale soft bodied prey with sharp barbs. The strike is similar to the one used by Praying Mantis, but much quicker, taking only 2 milliseconds to extend (which lead to the nickname Mantis Shrimp).

Other groups use something called a Smasher, consisting of an inflated "heel" on their raptorial appendage. This allows them to smash open the shells of other animals and feed on the insides. If the Smasher were the size of a human, its punch would wield the force of a small caliber gun, but even at their small size they pack enough force to be called "thumb busters".

dude, quietus...what the hell was that all about?! lolz

I was just replying to his contest. I remember seeing a player named that, so I thought it might be him. ;)

[MVB]

Yup; stomatopod was me. Not bad, although you acquired the caliber gun post from a slightly flawes source; there is a 12" species of the smasher variety which actually DOES pack the power of a .22 calibre bullet, and has been known to break double-paned safety glass in tests.

Not bad, not bad. Let's see if anyone else submits a desription.

[MVB]

Plagiarism is unasseptable

[benny90125]

i will play i wanna be a defender plz if theres any spaces i just requested to join and hopefully will

[eXoRciSt]

eh, ill defend

[Mistress Crystal]

Sure thing, guys. :D Check new thread.

[Quietus]

Euphyllia:

http://saltaquarium.about.com/library/graphics/cynthiafrogspawn_227.JPG

Common names: Anchor coral, hammer coral, grape coral, frogspawn coral (I find that they are all used pretty frequently, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough).

Maximum Size: Can't find a definate answer on the sizes... anywhere from a few centimeters for some species, to a possible size of a few meters for other species, given years to grow.

Food type: Heterotropic (feeding off plankton, shrimp, brine and such and/or absorbing nutrients from the surrounding water), and autotropic (sunlight)? Im guessing a mix of both, since I've read that you have to "feed" your euphyllia coral in your aquarium.

Located in the Indo-Pacific.

Faces problems due to humans regularly trading both live and dead specimens.

Can use tentacles to reach out and sting surrounding organisms, such as other coral, or prey. Extends polyps to absorb light.

Reproduces asexually.

[MVB]

So far Quietus is winning. Quietus, check out the other thread on her contest in this forum for updated mini-contest rules, since you probably missed those I'll let ya make another edit.

Going to give a few days for others to catch up.
