Clan [EA] vs ?

A bunch of us here at Electronic Arts have let this game suck several years of our lives away wOOt 2

, so we figure its time we tested our mettle against the rest of the world.

Dueling

We formally challenge any other well organized clan (if there are any) to a full-out battle for bragging rights Very Happy

. Also, as an incentive (and because we are uber-confident Laughing

), if your clan can beat us, I will personally send each member of your team a copy of an EA game of their choice (of the selection of games that EA is selling at that point only please Smile

Note that we are still in the process of finishing up an internal match, so this will not start for a month or so - time for you to practice up. We are mostly looking to see if there is interest.

We warn any challengers that we are quite skilled at the game and have excellent teamwork and communication, so intermediate or advanced players who have good communication with each other only please. Game settings will be:

Number of players: Equal team sizes up to eight each depending on available challengers.

Huge, sparse universe
jrc4 gens
Slower tech
Accelerated BBS
No random events (no mystery traders)
No starting public player scores (scores will be set to go public at turn 100)
No galaxy clumping
Distant start (see below)
No race limitations

Cheats worthy of having your auto-host upload priviledges revoked for the game:
Fleet-split before battle
Hex editing sliders (no inf minerals/pop)
Abusing battle token maximums
Pop stealing
Minefield walkthroughs (chaff sweep is okay)
I'm undecided on the fleet dodge...comments?
(Did I miss any obvious ones?)

PS: Chaff isn't cheating. I will happily do my best to shut down any argument against that statement.

Turn generation will be:
Turn 1-40: Mon through Fri, 3am (pst)
Turn 41-70: Mon, Wed, Fri, 3am (pst)
Turn 71+: Tue, Fri, 3am (pst)
Holidays will not alter the schedule - get your teammates to play for you if you cannot.

If a team needs more time for a valid reason, these schedules can be changed.

Winning condition: Inhabit three enemy homeworlds at the end of each of three contiguous rounds. (Or make the other team cry uncle... Hit over head

) Note that this allows you to lose a world as a waypoint zero order but take it back as a waypoint one order and still keep the clock going.

The universe will be set up such that it will be a top vs bottom scenario -- each team will move their homeworlds and secondary worlds to their space. There will be a 300 ly no-mans-land zone horizontally across the middle of the universe for starting planets (so you won't start closer than 300 lys to the enemy, however you may cross it as soon as the game starts).

A neutral party (Ron?) will move the homeworlds/secondaries so the homeworld identities are hidden. If no one can be found that both sides can agree on, I will move them and the names of all the homeworlds and secondary worlds will be public to both teams. If anyone has any questions about how this works, I will happily give the details. Yes, it's possible for the other team to start without knowing your homeworlds (although I'm sure they won't stay hidden long... Smile

If I've missed any details, they'll be filled in closer to the start date.

PS: A special challenge to any Stars! players from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Acclaim, Take-two, Radical, Relic, Konami, or any other game companies out there...bring it! Boxing
