Round 13:Information

Various tidbits

From: http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=182678 By: Kal I am delighted to be able to let you know a few of the changes we will be seeing in round 13. The changes are varied, but nothing to radical or scary -Upgraded planets can create, join and leave buddy packs before the shuffle. -The galaxy-system will now no longer create more galaxies, but keep filling up those we have . -The PA Mail system has been rewritten - both planets and alliances can now send messages to planets and alliances. When alliances send messages, no coords or planet-names are revealed, only the name of the alliance. -Messaging your entire alliance is now done from the new messages page under Alliances, by PR-officers, BCs and HCs. Doing that will message anyone accepted into the alliance, even the recruits. -When updating status / kicking an alliance member, the updater can now add a message to the planet being updated. (From the alliance, no coords revealed ofc.) -GCs must now supply an explanation for a started exile, and the exilee is sent a message about the started exile with the explanation. -The old members page has now been split up into 2 pages, Members and Applicants. -The process of accepting / rejecting new members has been redesigned for better communication etc. -The Members page now lists more data for all members, and the members can be sorted -Pre-paid credits are added when a planet is activated rather than with regular script running. -Scans are now deleted after 24 hours -Various Code Optimisations More information will come in the next few weeks

Hi Jared,I remember vieniwg David's video when he first published it last year and was impressed then. I'm even more impressed now. A large number of his quotes are from President Benson. I especially like the one where he reminds us that political, social and economic upheaval are some of the signs that the Lord's return is very nigh. That's why I found it even more impressive. The economic turmoil is getting worse but we are to be not troubled, but to rejoice. We are the ones that must be prepared and to prepare others to usher in his return.

Nour قال:I think this applies to males more than femelas. Females get the details by nature.. that’s how their brains work – most of the time- which leads to prolonged detailed catastrophes -sometimes! Anyway, should we list u as a masculine writer then?

Havoc Period

Thanks for noticing Ryan. I found your site shlroty after I launched wikiRFM. For those of you who haven't found Ascension Helicopters, I'd recommend looking at the PowerPoint presentations and the CFII lesson plans that Ryan has published.

Stage 2 - CTF Havoc

CTF = Capture The Flag
This round PAteam have created a brand new havoc for everyone
With the use of the new Special Roids implemented this round, there are now CTF roids.
Each galaxy has there own flag and it is held by a certain player in the galaxy, to steal the flag you must attack the player with pods and there is a chance you'll steal it.
The galaxy with the most points at the end of the round is the winner.

Points are:
5 points for having your galaxy flag in your galaxy
1 point for having any other galaxy's flag in your galaxy

Here is the post made by Kloopy in the PA Forum.

From: http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?p=2894539 By: Kloopy Capture the Flag F.A.Q. How does the points system work? At any point in time, your galaxy CTF points are calculated as follows: 1 point for any flags in your gal. 5 points if your gal contains your OWN flag asteroid. What happens when my flag is stolen? You lose points when flags are stolen from your galaxy. There are no points for just holding these flag asteroids. Surely galaxies should get score for holding the asteroids to avoid a rush at the end? You may well find stocking up on Flag Roids during CTF is a good tactic. You don't know for sure how much competition there will be at the end of the round. And if everyone rushes your galaxy for your flags in the last day, the more you have the more chance you've got of having some left over. Why are there no planet, normal galaxy or alliance rankings? As stated above, this game is all about the flag roids your galaxy is able to grab! The score ranking of planets, galaxies and alliances matters not one bit for CTF, therefore they are not displayed. How do I capture a Flag Roid? You capture flag roids just like normal asteroids. When you roid a planet that has a flag, one specific roid of theirs will be the flag. Thus, if you gain the full 25% cap, there is a 25% chance that one of the capped roids will be the flag. What if there are multiple attackers landing on the same tick? If the attackers have a combined total of 25% cap, then there is a 25% chance the flag is capped. If this is the case, it is given to one of the attacking fleets based on a percentage chance equivalent to the number of asteroids that fleet capped. So if one fleet caps 100 roids and another caps 200, the second fleet has twice as much chance of getting the flag. What if two galaxies have the same number of flags? If more than 1 galaxy has the same number of CTF points, their rank is determined by the total score of all the galaxies planets. How do I see where my galaxy's Flag Roid is? If you go to the Universe page, and click on to "Misc", you will see a list of all the Flag Roids. You can find where your galaxy's flag is by checking the coordinates next to it. Can I track the history of my galaxy's Flag Roid? Yes, by clicking on your roid in the Universe Misc page, you get to see the entire history of the flag. You can see who owned it and for how long. Can Flag Roids be destroyed by Covert Operations? No, it is not possible to destroy the Flag Roids. If it was possible, we would end up with them all destroyed and the game would not work. What happens if my galmate who owns a Flag Roid exiles? If a planet owns Flag Roids and is exiled (either self-exile or GC exile) the flags follow them into their new galaxy. Is it possible to move a flag from one planet to another within my galaxy? No, this is not allowed. If a planet had incomings or an attack was planned on the planet, then it wouldn't be fair to the attackers if the flag was moved. Can I re-create/re-join alliances for Capture the Flag? Yes, alliances work as they did during the main round. However, there is no bonus for alliances holding many flags at all. And by joining an alliance, you cut out a number of possible attack targets who may have flags at some point. CTF is all about galaxies, not alliances. Why are my fleets launching at odd times? Why is my value higher than my score? The load on the server is very high during combat. Because of this the ticker runs very slowly. It is currently taking about 10 minutes to complete an entire tick. Whilst the ticker is running, scores can be displayed incorrectly and the ETA you expect and the ETA shown on fleets may not match. Be assured though, that when the tick finished after 10 minutes, all the data is correct. Do I have to be my galaxy's flag carrier in order to steal a flag? No, anyone can capture Flag Roids. And you can theoretically own all of them at once, if you were lucky enough to capture and hold them all.
