I have drawn from a hat and the next planet is...Kashyyyk!
We will be playing both maps of Kashyyyk. There are two of them, so if both teams win one it will remain a neutral planet. Again, if you plan on attending, please post here that you will be present and what team you are on. This way, I can sort out the teams beforehand to avoid confusion during the actual battle. Last weeks battle worked out perfectly, partially because of the attendance of players and the avoidance of team confusion.
I'm pretty sure that Buckler will host again, but it never hurts to have a backup host. So, if anybody is interested in being a secondary host in the case of Buckler's absence, please post here. Be aware that you must be able to host Direct Connection games, not GameRanger.
The date, time, IP address, etc. should all be figured out here in the next week or so and, more likely than not, the battle will be this upcoming weekend at the same time as the previous wars. I hope that we can have another great turnout like last week (we had about 15-20 people and it felt like a legit battle :D). Thanks guys, and be on the lookout for updates.

I'm pretty sure I can join and also pretty sure I'll forget but PUT ME ON EMPIRE!
WOOKIES! Count me in. (Still Empire)
Aight, cool. Spread the word guys! Also, Buckler, if you could bring your clan again that would be great. Thanks,
~Bac
Oh, that's going to be laggy, with the water and stuff. Count me in though
I'll be there or not, depending on time
I will try my hardest to remember this one! :moo:
Just turn down ALL the video settings, that'll combat the lag.
Ill hopefully be there this time, cause the last couple times i was absent due to activities. (Empirates ftw!)
so um when will this be hosted?
ok ppplz listen up - everyone turn down graphics as much as possible and dont have anything open besides swf. This should combat the lag and make for a more enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, I am registered in a speech tournament (devilishly handsome and capable speeker that I am) that will most likely last all day saturday. So... tourney hosted sunday?
I can host anytime-- but I need to know when--let us know, Bacarra :)
I can try to get some PC players there again, not sure if I will be able to get as many, but I will spread the word when the time comes.
OK, sounds like we're going to have another good turnout! :D. This weekend will probably not be possible, because I have a crap load of projects I got to do and baseball tryouts just started and I'm trying to get a spot on the JV 8). So, we're looking at next weekend most likely, saturday being the more probable day. Probably around 6 EST. That work for everybody? If so, I can post the official details by either tomorrow or sunday. Thanks guys,
~Bac

Sure thing, the more the better.
OK guys, unofficial details as of now:
Date: Saturday, February 5th
Time: 6 EST, 5 CST, 4 MTN, 3 PST, 11 GMT (for the europeans)
Maps: Both Kashyyyk maps
IP Address: 69.246.184.48
Rules: Same as before
*the date/time above is subject to change*
Just so nobody forgets, there will be a CC buffer map 30 minutes before the alloted times above. If you can make it, please do so we can set up the teams beforehand so as to avoid confusion during the actual match.
Just so the CC buffer doesn't end early on accident, I'm going to set up rules for it. So...
1) You may fight each other.
2) No CPs during the buffer, so that the reinforcement count won't go down fast.
3) In the event of an accidental capture of a CP, all fighting is to cease until that CP is captured back by it's rightful owner.
4) Once everybody is present, either me or Buckler will tell one team to capture all the CPs so as to end the buffer. During this time, there should be no fighting whatsoever. Neither team should impede the other from capturing their CP and if you do you will be given a warning. If you ignore the warning, and continue fighting, you will be booted from the server. No excuses or exceptions.
I just want to lay down these ground rules so that the actual match doesn't start early because some guy captured all the CPs. I will not be as harsh about these rules this week, but the ensuing weeks I will start to crack down. I just want to make the buffer and the match enjoyable for everyone.
On that note, I hope that a bunch of people can make it. Spread the word and tell people about this site. We can always use more players!
Also, Buckler, if you could bring your clan again that would be great. We really enjoyed the extra boost in players and competition.
Thanks all,
~Bac
Hey Bacarra,
I need to add an additional rule--any swearing or cursing should be at a minimum, preferably none at all. Our PC based clan is very strict in this regard and we won't have as many players as we do if we allow it.
thanks :)
YES! i totally agree! make it the same as earlier, one warning then ur out. NO :censored:
My bad, I left that out :slap:. Yeah, that rule is totally legit. That should be enforced to. Everybody will be given a warning beforehand on the buffer, then one if they actually break it, and then next time booted. We should be lenient at first, but as this tourney continues and people become more aquatinted with the rules, then we will crack down harder. Thanks for adding that Buckler.

i hope it the time stays 6 est that would be midnight for central europe.
wife and kid would be asleep by then.

Welcome! We're glad to have ya man. You'll probably be on the rebels.

On.
A side note, I may not be here tonight so you might have to lead it Buckler. That ok? Sorry for the short notice but something came up. I'll try to make it if I can. Thanks,
~Bac
omg no swearing? this is just another PLA server now...... :td:
It is perfectly reasonable to be asked not to swear, as you are a guest on someone else's server.
Great idea, swearing just shows the imaturity of the players in the server. Repect is always a good thing. Anyways, good luck all!

The rule for SWBFgamers and MPCgamers before that was no swearing. It also holds for sanctioned tournaments.
The tournament is starting, we need some MACs!
Empire took the docks in a hard fight.
Rebs capped out the Docks, through air superiority!
Kahyyyk stays neutral. Good game all.
gg second battle was realy fast :P
of course i missed it again =/ :o

OK, so should we do a tie-breaker map or just leave it as is?
I think a tie breaker map should do it. Maybe instead of replaying the map, just play a 2 round CC match. Just a suggestion
Sorry I missed this one and the Duckhunt. Didn't plan on missing this but @#$* happens.
i have been waiting for this forever and then wife and kid are not asleep at midnight and i can't play.
mmmpff now i will not miss the next one
I'm getting optimistic about this tourney, it just gets better every week!

That was my idea to, but just one match of CC instead of two. Anybody have anything to add? If not, we can schedule the tiebreaker for this weekend along with the new set of battles.
On a side note, I'm very happy with the turnout in the last couple of battles. Keep it up guys!
~Bac
Sorry Bac, i forgot to quote your post back there. :P But ya, the past battles have been GREAT! Much more fun than before. They seem more...challenging. The opponents are harder to defeat. Long live the empire!
i say we just give all the planets to the rebels and call it a win. :cheer:

That's true...it's a disadvantage to the rebels every time...I think we should just leave it at a draw for now and come back to it later.
Week 7 to be posted sometime in the next couple days...don't worry, we aren't giving up ;).
~Bac
In a couple of days its saturday :P
