Rule / setup for Fed War event

Would be fun if u could change the DP time of one empire. So there is one c3 and the person who has it has to come out of dp much sooner, and whoever has it at the end wins lol

Thanks for holding the event Mara. For me it was a complete waste of money, but was fun. The c3 bagging is the best part of the game, a few things I would suggest would be:
- I agree with the VM thing and fed registering before hand.
- The empire should come out at times fair for everyone (opposite sides of the world etc)
- Some decent rewards, or clarify the rewards before hand so we know how much resources it`s worth wasting on the event.
- might be an interesting thing to hold on the dm server if that bug with rt could be fixed.

Meh still, we used atrifacts wasted cash that 30k c3`s aint gona make back haha

*looks at DkCivic, eats a bite of sandwich

erm Pans, the vmers didnt get c3`s and I`m sure everyone will be plundering the c3`s taken from lucas and the rewards lol, most already have

12hour(s) ago erm..who cares if someone keeps a one land c3...what can it do anyway?

it can make me money O.o xD

*shrugs* if thats what you lot believe. my only belief is that it should be held on slow as well :P

Having more than 2 or 3 U larges on a turn based server that`s actually worth keeping is very rare and wouldn`t affect most folks. With multi c3 empires you generally know that they already have a fairly big advantage over most players (unless they have really crabby c3s), which is why they typically dominate the top rankings and can afford all those nice spammy capitol ships. =P

Also, you run into the problem where if your empire has like 5 U larges, then any c3s you win will be on top of all of those instead of being protected at the very bottom. For a terran its not so much an issue since they get the most colony slots but a guard or a miner might experience a few difficulties. So unless the c3 was sufficiently large enough to justify plundering 1 or 2 u larges to make room for more colony slots, the logical choice would simply to plunder the c3 instead of keep it.

But again, on normal, empires with more than 2 or 3 U larges with like 8 or 9k land or more is quite rare. Maybe 5% of the player base tops. And almost no one takes the trouble to dig for gordos. A 6 month paid could *maybe* get you 1 or 2 offers of like 10 or 15 gordos, where as on RT you`d get a lot more offers with more gordos offered.

not just single planets, im talking U class. there are empires based around u class planets alone, and it could give them an even larger advantage over their peers..altho i won`t be complaining if it was done on slow ;)

planet count isnt a good way to measure land size total...

Mara can do anything rag =p Aside from all that stuff that we want him to do that he can`t...
And I kind of like that idea, little bigger if it`s a little guy whos getting the c3 =)

I think it should be 30k if they already have over 126 or so planets, but if they don`t have a c3 it should be slightly bigger like 40k. Give the little guy a boost. ;)

About who would benefit from keeping a lucas c3, the only real people to benefit from a 1 or 2 land c3 would be a. miners. All other people would probably plunder it first chance they get once the event is over. I mean given how events are historically few and far in between in GC, you`d have to hold onto a c3 for quite a while, and even then it`s risky since your team might not even win the next time around.

But I would think that a lucas c3 would each have their own special ID tag that`s trackable. I mean isn`t that what numbers like E.2134 and C2.9551are for? Also, does Mara actually have the power to look at our planets? o.0

yes i can look at your planets and ID`s , but hte idea of this event is i can just donate a small 20 minute or so of my time setting it up , and a hour or 2 after the event ensuring everything was legal , who won , who cheated and so on ( small amount of effort / Max amount of fun )
