Kapitaen Krieger Kreuzer Events

So the convoy should maybe just sit at the site of the battle?

I don't know what I can do about making the time even clearer

I know. You see, problem with GMT is that it keeps changing due to DST. One part of the year London is on GMT and other part of the year London is on GMT +1. When I hear that event is on 9 pm GMT I think of it being London time. But its not always like that and thats where I fail. Its hard to know what person means. Instead of announcing that event is at 7 GMT, say that event is held at 7 pm London time. That way its easier to do the maths because the gaps between timezones do not change. My timezone is +2 hours London time. Easier to calculate when you put it that way.

Well the easiest thing is to actually CLICK on the event clock that he posted isn't it?.. maybe the letters were not big enough :$

Third shipping event - Sunday, June 1st 2008 - 6 PM GMT.
[color=#FFFF00](NOT London time. Use this clock)


Roles:
1. Transports: The transports convoy leaves Yokohama Shipyard* (New Tokyo) en route to the Alster Shipyard (Hamburg) carrying Hull Panels (70%) and Optronics (30%). The convoy will take the following route: New Tokyo / Honshu / Sigma-13 / Frankfurt / New Berlin / Hamburg.
* The two goods aren't sold in the Shipyard. Ship Hull Panels may be acquired at Freeport 6 (Tau-29) or Yanagi (Sigma-13); Optronics may be acquired at Planet Honshu (Honshu). For the sake of the story, the transports may buy these items elsewhere and then rendezvous at the Yokohama Shipyard.

2. Escorts (RM-RFP/KNF-KSP): Kusarian escorts take the convoy as far as the border of Frankfurt (Fulda border station), where it is transfered to the Rheinland authorities.
* Last time the KNF ended up participating in the fight in Rheinland because there wasn't an event in Kusari. If the same happens again, they will be allowed to participate in Rheinland again.

3. Pirates/Terrorists: Local pirates/terrorists from each House try to disrupt and prevent the convoy from reaching Alster.


Rules of engagement:
1. The "cruise" rule does not apply for this event;

2. Ships may not dock during the event. Any ship that docks is considered and/or disabled and may no longer fulfill its purpose in the event;

3. Transports cannot be directly engaged until 30% of the escort force is destroyed. If this quota isn't met and the pirates are down to three ships, then they may attack the transports directly regardless of the escort numbers. Once the convoy is disrupted, <strike>the transports are to move in impulse speed so the escorts can keep up (to promote a timer for the event)</strike> the transports are to stick with the escorts. Transports in Kusari may break away and flee (break away and engage cruise) if the fight there takes more than ten minutes, so the players in Rheinland won't have to wait too much.

4. A maximum of 25% of the transports may be destroyed on the Kusari side of the event. The remaining transports must be allowed to escape so there can be an event on the Rheinland side;

5. If at a given point the escorts have the upperhand (as in only three pirates left), the pirates may attack the transports directly even if the necessary number of escorts haven't been destroyed.

6. When directly engaged the transports may break away and make a run for it.

Again I've changed the rules from the first and second events. Transports are now to stick around. Participants, please comment on them.

VERY IMPORTANT: If there are any problems during the event concerning people "breaking rules" of any sort, please, contact me directly through PMs and I will sort it out myself. Remember this is supposed to be an RP event. Can't have it being disrupted by ooRP discussion. So please, don't.

Anyone who hasn't participated in the first and second events and wishes to join, please register here.

I'll try to be there for this one.

I'll be there in the "guardian" transport. Maybe one of the events can start from Bretonia, then we can get a gaggle of Gateway ships involved.

Gateway has politely declined my invitation to participate in these events, guardian. You're welcome to participate as independent.

OMG

An RFP officer. I am amazed. Although admittedly you'll see a pair/trio of "Polize" tomorrow an hour before the event. Let's hope we can tankity-tank zapp... I have my doubts...



If I get killed in the pre-event, I'll be there as my Bundschuh (basically flopping sides). If I don't, I'll probably still be on as my Bundschuh, or possibly my [RM] if I have the time to get her set up.
