Unknown Smurf Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Anyone should be able to volunteer their district as tribute! :( EDIT: That is to say Kaskus definitely wants in now there is a forum pip prize :awesome: Edited January 25, 2014 by Unknown Smurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) [Moderator Post]: Lux Bonteri was buckaroo13. He is now banned from Cyber Nations: Standard Edition and Cyber Nations: Tournament Edition. Please do not discuss this individual any further. admin and the Moderation team will offer the winner(s)* of this community organized event a $30 donation and a forum pip for a limited time (exact length of time has not yet been determined). Anyone caught abusing the game rules and Terms of Service while participating will be dealt with harshly, as any rule violations normally would be. We look forward to everyone running this and making it interesting. You might want to come up with some snazzy banners or something. *limit of two winners per the original stipulations in the OP: The games will continue until there is only one nation standing (two if the nations belong to the same home alliance). If more than 2 nations remain and the nations are incapable of attacking each other due to NS restrictions, the games will continue until no more wars can be declared (either by dropping NS or gaining NS). This will be a very important strategic aspect in terms of which nations are submitted. This is the only scenario in which multiple winners may occur. Clarification: What about XP? Apologies if I missed the answer to that question. Edited January 25, 2014 by Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Director Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 You get a 0 for being in a neutral alliance and having 0 casualties. You break my heart :( Though I was hoping to get rated by buck. No chance of that now I guess. On the plus side, guess who's back: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/120235-name-change-request/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubaQuerida Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 As of right now the greatest hurdle will be how to bring nations into NS range of one another, especially after a few rounds of unbalanced war. This will no doubt have to take place months after the main war has settled down and nations have had a chance to rebuild and restock. The options would be: a selldown by the stronger nation to get into range (decomming nukes, planes, navy etc.) more extreme would include infra/land sale. a buyup by the smaller nation to get into range (infra purchase or similar) In extreme cases a coordinated and planned strike team might be assembled to bring the stalled nations into range if there is deliberate inaction (similar to the 'prodding' in the actual movie/book) Preset war ranges as suggested by Steve Buscemi or minimum/maximum limits (similar to the age ranges in the movie). No tech-seller sized nations and no CubaQ's. As for XP, since these nations are only involved in the same alliance for the express purpose of warring one another, I don't know that the traditional rules of intra-alliance spying and farming really apply. Spying DEFCON/ThreatCon is a critical part of shifting GA odds and must be allowed. A detail I did determine is that the tribute can be given member titles to reflect their home district within the Tribute alliance, eliminating the need for reliance on outside tracking (which we will still definitely do).

Unknown Smurf Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Let tech seller nations fight tech seller nations imo. Just have a standard like 1,999.99 infra to start tier, then 3,999.99 infra tier etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Santa Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I love this idea, I'd love to be tribute for MCXA... rate my nation, perhaps? :D http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=542759 :popcorn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have a standard like 1,999.99 infra to start tier, then 3,999.99 infra tier etc etc. Based on the prize put forth by admin, I'd assume we would want to keep the prize in a mid-upper tier range. While we could have other ranges, that should be the primary one. 50-100k, somewhere in there maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Smurf Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Maybe just have a side prize for small nations? Hell I'll put up full slots of $ aid for the victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I am 10k ns and larger than half the nations in the game, we're going to need a lowbie tier as well, maybe one low tier, one middle/upper tier nation from each?

Sephiroth Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 The other day my one friend kept saying he was catching up on Hunger Games and it was good, but not the movie. I asked if he meant Hungry Games, which another friend later pointed was an actual thing from Sesame Street with the Cookie Monster. I came up with hungry games independently and didn't know it was a real thing, but who's ready for a nuke up the you know where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubaQuerida Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 It will certainly be NS-based, and we'll have to see how things shake out once the post-war rebuilding has gotten everyone back to a stable NS level. Because tech sellers have the distinct advantage of being able to sell their entire nation down to 0 NS, there will be a minimum tech level of 1,000 for any entrant. Miniumum warchest requirements may also be set for the lower tier nations, so that they may buy up into range if needed. Azaghul brings up a very good point, if you are fighting 1v1 it's fairly easy to remain out of anarchy and we could see some very long battles with no victor. It's not necessarily a bad thing but I may have to change stance on the allowed purchase of infra, so that once it's gone, it's gone and your soldier count will suffer. The actual hunger games fighters were stripped of everything so it's a decent parallel. lol @ the cookie monster btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to have the same-alliance nations be able to help each other if possible, so I'm not sure if it will have to be entirely separate games or one big mess with categories inside it. We're far from ironing out all the kinks, but making great progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBRaiders Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I like the idea of starting ns ranges and no rebuying infra. An alternate way to get knocked out could be if your NS range is too low for you to declare or have anyone declare on you after your last war expires, but with the loss of infra it should become easier to anarchy if they can't rebuy infra.

CubaQuerida Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah I'm thinking that's the way to go. Some form of disqualification if you are too low or out of range (would encourage higher NS tributes). It's a little biased towards the larger nation though, so maybe make the death condition anarchy or ZI (iirc ZI is very difficult without nukes/air). Just brainstorming out loud...

Or maybe on the same line your thinking having minimum infra to enter at 4k and if you hit 1 or 2 k infra your out or anarchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ZI is nearly impossible, but under 100 is quite do-able with enough hits. I think that will be the secondary defeat condition. This will encourage higher infra nations to participate.

Arsenal 10 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 If this happens, I would be keen to join in. I'm 89k NS (or there about depending on what I am doing) which seems to be the prime range. I am sure I could get someone else from the RIA to join in as well. My only issue would be that I would not want to change my AA as it's seniority is important to me. Anyway around that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clash Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Every alliance in the top 20 will submit two nations as tribute.* Those two nations will change their AA to "Tribute" and set themselves into Peace Mode. Two nations enter - one nation leaves! /obligatory mad max reference Sounds like fun though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
