The original idea of 1legmidgit.

I propose a community event. Our community has grown stagnant for the most part. There was a mini surge in servers running SpaceBuild 2 this weekend, but most of the new found space was filled with the scourge of the universe...FUSION BOMBERS. When was the last time any of you actually had a decent "war" whith a ship with multiple crew members. It has been about a month for me, and I miss it dearly.

So, here is the plan. It might require the cooperation of those who have Dedi servers, but it would be well worth it. We pick a day, lets say September 13 for now, and form two factions. We start a thread for both where people can apply for a position i.e. gunner, mechanic, navigator, ect. and from that, we also designate which server they will be stationed on. We would need a third group of people, these being the observers who are there to remove minges( and FUSION BOMBERS!) and to keep the server running smoothly, essentially admins who also calculate the victor in each server and report it to the forums. Lets say we end up with five servers, one would be the home territory of one faction and vice versa, there would be a middle ground, and from there you get the idea. The game would be divided up into rounds, not sure what time zone we should use, starting every two(maybe three?) hours, with an initial build time. THERE WILL BE NO ADVANCED DUPLICATING, that would defeat the purpose of this. Each faction would recieve more or less build time depending on which server they are stationed on. Note, this does not "need" any scripting done, just cooperation, but if we do indeed have this event and someone feels the need to do so, be my guest. After the build phase has expended, the two factions can commence combat. The primary objective could be many things i.e. Holding a planet the longest. Essentially, it would be a community wide war, without somebody building Death Star 4 and running the damn thing by himself. Maybe the winning team gets a couple pieces named after them, or even a planet.

Just a thought. Hopefully there are others who would enjoy such an event, and it would most likely bring new members to our community. It seems everyone is in hibernation mode awaiting the release of SB3. Anything I said above is subject to change, except for adv duping, and maybe the applications for positions on teams. Advanced duping really gets rid of the point, and applications would ensure no arguments over captian and what not, well, atleast most of them...
