Naval Battle League 2016-2018

[SG Aero]

I need to build the supply ship, and I can do that on the weekend.

also yes those rules work, only a slight tweak. The supply ship can carry weapons, but it has to get them from the station.

Guys, I'm glad you're having fun with this game. However, roleplay is specifically prohibited in the forum rules because alliances and personal feuds, for example, have carried over into other areas of the forums and made the general place unpleasant for everyone.

If you would like to roleplay, feel free to conduct it outside of the forums, just remember that it stays outside the forums.

Also, please don't try to guide other folks yourself, that's the moderators' job-- if you see something that you think may be over the line or close to it, please just report it and leave the rest to us.

Carry on, but keep the rules in mind.

Edited May 9, 2017 by Dman979
A little more clarification and context.

[SG Aero]

Yeah this isn't role play this is just a big space battle we're having and all we're doing is talking logistics of the battle.

Wait roleplay includes making your own company for your ships?  That's what the rules say.

I understand and appreciate that but I'm not reporting my own thread for something so strictly regulated such as roleplay when some people use the word peace as shorthand for not working against each other. I'm shooting this line of thinking down before it evolves into roleplay.

No they don't. They say teams for when there's more than one person per side and players when referring to an individual.

I just read it. It states that fictions companies are forbidden.

also I don't think this qualifies as a challenge and I don't think it belongs there.

I'm still confused; Who's in what alliance? I know it's me, Shadow, and Joseph. Who else?

[Spartwo]

Yea, it'd just be good for attention. People don't often go to forum games looking for KSP.

 

@DarkOwl57 It's been half an hour, for the last time team or I swear to god I will beat you the one time required for you to be at the bottom of the table.

I understand. I think possibly we should just outlaw teaming, as it makes everything much more complicated, and may get the thread banned, which obviously no one wants.

[SG Aero]

Fair. Also we are teams not alliances. Apparently even that counts as roleplay for some dumb reason that no one understands.

Also if they ban we can just make a new thread.

[MiffedStarfish]

No, that's not how it works, the mods would ban all threads like this. Also, criticising the rules probably won't help.

[Spartwo]

Doesn't work that way, that's a one way ticket to userban. The rules on roleplay are strict so just be careful with the wording.

[SG Aero]

Ok then. Sorry. I'm very easily irritated when it comes to annoying rules. 

[MiffedStarfish]

Thoughts on banning teams? I think it would definitely improve the situation.

Fine, team!

Who's in our team? Happy?

This is actually going to be the first TDM battle in the history of Naval Battles, so, GO FOR TEAMS!!!

 

[Spartwo]

Not the first, but the first with more than 3 people.

[MiffedStarfish]

I might take a while, but no more than 4 or 5 days. The problem is, I need to a carrier from scratch.

[Spartwo]

Try hollowing out a battle cruiser.

[MiffedStarfish]

My minimalism is coming back to bite me, I don't have any. 

[Spartwo]

Try sharing with another member of your team. And if you'd rather I can get you all to pick a number between 1 and 5 for randomness.

[Frozen_Heart]

You can still make a 'company' on the spacecraft exchange technically. The language used just needs tweaking:

Company - Craft Showcase

Employees - Craft Contributers

 

[SG Aero]

You can borrow my cruddy carrier

[MiffedStarfish]

I doubt its big enough. I want to cram 2 EX-9s into it.

[Joseph Kerman]

Or you can use my tough cruiser
