Title: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2013 09 05, 17:31:02
This topic is for organizing battles and relocating your base. Enjoy. :)

Remember bases can only be relocated to adjacent zones.

Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 02 18, 08:10:07
I suggest using DeathChest, it should be on by default.

Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 02 22, 11:03:09
Thanks Wikipedia for saying it's UTC-5 when it's UTC+5. The time of the battle is 20:00 UTC.

http://time.is/UTC

Also I officially recommend using UTC in the future.
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 02 22, 14:43:51
fiah if you fail i propose a counterattack on zone 39 like 10-15 minutes or whenever you're ready after this attack
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 02 22, 21:27:04
attack zone 28  i wat too
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: AeriOwl on 2014 02 22, 21:29:29
We won zone 42 and survived the blue front counterattack.

Next weekend I wish to schedule a battle for bong's capital (currently zone 30).

If I win this then it'll be a long haul to the red front. . .
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 02 23, 15:42:58
yeah kol will probably make another base
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 02 25, 19:51:48
uh since my last capital stopped moving i want to move it to zone 40 now
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 02 25, 21:01:35
The base will be moved to Zone 40 on March 4 unless someone attacks any of The Blue Front's zones before that.
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 02 25, 21:15:47
if they attack and lose it keeps moving right
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: AeriOwl on 2014 02 26, 02:05:30
I have a battle scheduled for bong's capital this saturday or sunday?
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 02 26, 06:04:22
I can't be on in the weekend but if you can handle it yourselves you can do a battle. If you could get someone else, maybe Yqt, to spectate and ensure people play by the rules that would be very good.

Alternatively the battle could be moved to the next weekend (March 8-9). The rules say

Quote
To prevent another team from relocating its base, your team can attack any of the other team's zones. The relocation will be delayed until the battle happens, unless it would already happen after the battle. If the relocating team loses the battle, the relocation is cancelled, and they must start over.

And the base zone does have a 2 week chance to find a battle date. So if you battle that weekend, the relocation would still be delayed until the The Blue Fronts wins the battle, or cancelled if it doesn't.

fiah can we move all battles next week? they're more fun with 3 people
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: AeriOwl on 2014 02 28, 00:15:01
This is how it is going to work bla:

**** fights for zone 28 this weekend.
After that I fight for zone 35.
The week after **** fights for zone 28 again if he failed to conquer it.
I then fight for zone 30 if bong fails to conquer zone 28 again and/or if I conquer zone 35
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 02 28, 00:16:24
can fiah make another battle even though he already made a battle for the capital?

A team can choose to relocate the base zone to an adjacent zone controlled by the team. The process takes a week.

found this in the rules

Could we calm down a bit with the battles? :P How about starting with the battle for the base zone next weekend and then we'll take it from there? If you want to do it this weekend you can, but the battles should be more fun with more people. His base zone won't relocate before the attack is over anyway.
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 03 01, 16:32:36
ok fiah postponed all battles for a week, i guess that means everything is pushed back a week
Title: Re: Battle Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 03 02, 16:45:42
Ok, so should we let the battle for Zone 28 start Saturday, March 8 at 20:00 UTC like the first battle for Zone 42 last weekend?

In that case I can join either side.
Title: Re: Battleground Information
Post by: AeriOwl on 2014 03 07, 19:26:17
Battle for zone 28 at 20:00 UCT / 2pm EST
Battle for zone 30 at 20:30 UCT / 2:30pm EST

Battles are 20 minutes long.
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 03 07, 19:42:30
Does Blotz approve? It'd work fine for me as I can't be online much earlier tomorrow.

I'd like to join Blotz' side this time in the fight for his base zone, and Fiah's side in the other battle.
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: b-ong on 2014 03 07, 20:55:01
add 15 minutes between and we're good

The base will be moved to Zone 40 on March 4 unless someone attacks any of The Blue Front's zones before that.
The rules say that bases can only be moved to adjacent zones, so it will be moved to Zone 35 and not 40 if you win the battle for Zone 30.

Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 03 15, 01:32:46
Blotz please post if you agree with Fiah and possibly discuss more accurate times so we can announce the battles as early as possible.

I doubt The Blue Front will assemble that within the next hour.
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning

I, as leader of the new Revolutean Front, would like to schedule a battle for zone 26.
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 06 17, 19:15:28
I think Kip has time from June 25+.

I have time from June 21+, but on June 23 only UTC evening/night.

Post by: TheMooCows on 2014 06 20, 18:31:50
After The battle for zone 26, the MOOse front will attack zone 26. We rethought our battle plan. Whether that be fiah's or bla's front.
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 06 20, 21:08:08
Ok, I suggest we fight the first battle on Friday 27 at 22:10 UTC, and the second one at 23:10 UTC.

(There's scheduled restart at 22:00 UTC)
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: AeriOwl on 2014 06 21, 18:36:45
ok i'm rescheduling for zone 27 then
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2014 06 21, 20:01:22
I'll assume The Moose Front still wants to attack at the previously planned time, so ok. I suggest:

Battle for Zone 26: Moose Front attacks Red Front at Friday 27, 22:10 UTC

Battle for Zone 27: Revolutean Front attacks Red Front at Saturday 28, 22:10 UTC

Ok?

Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2015 07 04, 11:34:16
Kip and Ventus said they wanted more BG battles, so I'll suggest this:

Red Front from Zone 25 attacks The Blue Front in Zone 28, on Saturday 11 at 19:00 UTC?
(Scheduled restart happens at 21:00 UTC)

Post by: b-ong on 2015 07 11, 20:35:44
small bit about the battle today, the flag was changed using a block to get atop of the flag. it looked something like this
(http://i.imgur.com/mT4CkMn.png). it was impossible for them to get the fartheset wool as they have no way to place it, they would have to place it against the closer wool, and to do this they would have to be either across the obsidian part or above the flag. since they obviously arn't across from the flag, it's clear that they built that block before the battle ended. they even cleaned the flag up minutes after! using the excuse taht they wanted the flag to face a different direction! how lame. but idrc anyways as long as it doesnt happen again as people get carried away in teh heat of the battle
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Komrage on 2015 07 11, 21:20:18
komrage was launched by a projectile on top of the flag where he placed the last wool block at [17,89,734]
ventus placed the block in question, [16,88,732], seconds afterward
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2015 07 11, 21:36:13
they even cleaned the flag up minutes after! using the excuse taht they wanted the flag to face a different direction! how lame.
I didn't see what happened when the flag was replaced, probably haven't recorded it, but we'll see when I upload the vid. I'll have to take Komrage's and Ventus' word for it, and the others who were present, and if really necessary check the logs.
I was the one who cleaned up the flag a bit after the battle though, and yes that was to make it face the same way as all the other Red Front flags, which face in the direction that the clouds move, which they should if you take into account wind. I never wrote that in public though but I guess someone figured that out. That's not an excuse, it's a fact. Since people left I assumed there wasn't a dispute over the zone, but the logs can tell when which blocks were placed and broken if necessary.
Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Komrage on 2015 07 11, 21:39:47
i didn't know how that block was placed either so i investigated myself and the above description /is/ right from the logs

The block Ventus placed is accurately described by Komrage above, you can see it in the battle video around 12:50.

Title: Re: Battle and Base Planning
Post by: Bla on 2016 07 31, 08:10:41
what about special arrows
They seem a bit expensive, requiring lingering potions which requires fighting the ender dragon, so to keep the BG more economical maybe we should ban it, but I'm not sure. What do people think?
