YES!

All you vets had better show up, this is gonna awesome, considering how well the previous event was.

Now if only we could manage to get one of those campaign things going on in the future...

Re: Nations in Conflict First Strike Event

Campaigns? How would that work?? Surely it would need to have set teams, then you need to have all the players turn up over a set period, plus you need to record the results somehow for which team won most battles etc.

Actually all of that would be pretty simple to do.

All interested in playing sign up. Each player is allocated a number, those numbers are then drawn from a hat to decide the teams (this ensures it is a fair process).

Events would run for one week playing across one or two maps. Dates publicised well in advance and server admins can choose to run only campaign maps for that week or run their usual rotation. It would be much easier if it was run on one server that just ran the campaign maps though. A Dev can then check through the stat logs for that week and post results.

Could do with a little more planning and preperation, but that would be a basic way of running a small campaign style 'war' over a period of say a few months.

Seems like a good idea to me. I say we start it in the week after the event. Get it going while the numbers and the drive are still there. And you have an early sign up from me!

Woah woah woah Sweet Child of Mine!!

Takes longer than that to properly sort it all out. I got a lot on my plate between now and then and I'm the 'Dev' with the least amount of work to do...ish. Even if I start working it all out and coming up with something that the whole community agrees with and is happy with it probably wouldn't be able to get off the ground until at least early February to give everyone ample time to sign up and advertise it properly to meet the widest audience possible. I'll start a new thread for it so as not to derail this one any further to get an idea of how many people would be interested.
