um... yes... one ship... along with escorts... but it was more the size I was reffering to. We have fairly large prisons... a thousand square kilometres easy.

Lol. If I remember what Zi has told me correctly, the fourth planet is one of two desert planets and is used solely for tournaments and other combat events using mechs and is also sometimes used as a weapons test ground. Not a very good place for anyone to live.

Just moving these lists to the last page.
Battle Modes
0982 - this battle mode means you can only fight with a stipulated number of Zoids, and there are no restrictions on weapons and arsenals. This is the most common battle type.
0983 - basically the same as 0982
0988 - "An old fashioned shoot out limited to long range weapons." Six shots a piece, the only way to win this battle is to take out the opposing team with the six shots you have, or to draw them into close-rage combat.
0973 - Battle mode that limits the battle to Zoids/Mechs that are not airborne, often taking place in confined areas (such as an abandoned city).
0992 - A one-on-one match with no restrictions whatsoever on weapons and arsenals.
6690 - Shooting Challenge, used in arcade games. Allowed mid-battle entries into the fight.
0999 - Backdraft's battle mode. there are no rules; there are no rules whatsoever. All you have to do is win.
0990 - The Z.B.C.'s/M.B.C.'s equivalent to 0999, but with some rules for safety, etc..
1001 - The Royal Cup. Held only once every 4 years and is open to all Class A teams. The first to earn 5 wins, locate, and make to the hidden goal is the winner and is promoted to Class S.

Only 7 feet? Protoss are like 8-9, and psychic... At least, 8-9 is my best guess from the games, they may actually be larger than that, since they take up twice as many spaces as a Terran in a dropship...

Makes sense, we all have to make guesses, for example, since they take up twice as many spaces as a Marine, they could be up to 14 feet tall!!! But I don't think they're quite that large... So 8-9 seems like a more reasonable estimate... Then again... 14+ may be accurate for all I know... I hope not though, I've been RPing my biggest one at just on 10 feet tall...

Acutally, they are about 5-9 feet at the lowest-highest. the space taken is their armour. were you to think you can actually see one when you go to enter the campaigns... besides, dragoons are smaller than ultralisks but both take 4 space.

The mech transports move the mechs into the battle arena. You are correct in assuming that no weapons on it are used (except in Battle Mode 0999 (which we won't be using this Tournament)). The transport is where your mech can retreat for a weapons or armor change (if you have a modular hard point system for either like Zi has for both) and field repairs. It also acts as the command center for the match. The transports sensors, usually, can see the whole battlefield while the less powerful ones on the mechs can't see as far. Also, if you are fighting in Battle Mode 0982 (limited number of mechs allowed in play at a time for each team), a damaged mech must return to inside the transport before a freash one can be launched or deployed. Usually, a team gets to the match zone inside the transport, plan out some tactics, and then launch.
I think that covers everything.

Say, are we allowed to sabotage each other? You know, that sort of underhanded play where you cripple your opponents mechs or even their pilots before a match.
Would I be able to, say, slip a narcotic into <pilot>'s drink before a match to degrade their performance in actual battle? Or does it make the whole thing too complex?
Either if it is or not, if you're thinking of slipping Dratheria's people a 'mickey', I'm guessing(If Drath's people are space marines like I think they are from the Techmarine one) then it'd be rather pointless as they are stuffed full of various things(extra organs mostly) that essentially render them immune to poisons/toxins(especially orally ingested ones).

Not really. My guys aren't good enough at biological warfare for that. It'd probably be more like nanites or something else that's permanently crippling. The psionics are the thing I'm worried about, as too much potential to handwave a conventional assault.
I think permenant would be out(simply because it doesn't seem like(except for the no-holds bar match class) that the goal is to injure the pilots)

Hmm, not sure on what FC's Ferengi guys wouldn't do for the right price. But, from what I understand, PZ's population are expecting exciting matches that get the blood pumping. So, I think the whole idea would be for you to put on the best show you can. For example, give one of Zi's Zoids a missile long enough, and she'll have the Zoid in question actually walk on it (I got a pic of that around here somewhere). While their is the monatary prize for winning a match, put on a good enough show and you'll win the fans (which, technically, last a lot longer than the money).

Lortas smiled, "This is true but see we are all trained in the Library Sanitorium as part of our initial training. So even if psychically we can be decieved we can still see through the falsehoods to find the truth. We are in a sense detectives and everyone of us are great minds. So as you can see even with falsehoods we will always inevitably find the truth. Sherlock Holmes once said, 'When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'"

What would be required of a battle judge?
Basically, the Battle Judge droid is RP'ed as being launched from the Judge Satellite in a Judge Capsule and thenlanding. Once landed, the B.J. holds the red arm and says, "The Red Team is the X Team," then it holds up the blue arm and says, "and the Blue Team is Team Y." Then the arms are crossed and it says, "Fight!" Then the match begins. While the match is taking place, the B.J. keeps an eye out for any illegal moves or tactics and to keep people not involved in the match (you can't enter the battle arena while a match is under way, mainly for your own safety) out of the battle zone. At the end of the match, the B.J. holds up the colored arm that goes with the winning team and annouces the color and name of the winning team. Then the Judge Capsule closes and launches back up to the waiting Judge Satellite.
Understand?
One last thing, what are the specifics on illegal tactics/moves for each type of match?
SeaQuest

One last thing, what are the specifics on illegal tactics/moves for each type of match?
In the matches we will be using, illegal counts as targeting the cockpit, transport, or other non-safe spot (like the power plant). Also, in the set number of mech matches, illegal would be sending in more than the stipulated number. In B.M. 0973 matches, (like the current match), illegal would be using airborne mechs. The General Rules of good sportsmanship still apply.
I also found this info:
Battle Judges watch the official battles and determine the battle mode, if teams are breaking the rules or not, and whether a request from a team, like for the battle to be moved to another day or for the battle to be cancelled, should be granted due to circumstances. They also make sure that no one who is not allowed in the battlefield is there.
Battle Modes
0982 - this battle mode means you can only fight with a stipulated number of Zoids, and there are no restrictions on weapons and arsenals. This is the most common battle type.
0983 - basically the same as 0982
0988 - "An old fashioned shoot out limited to long range weapons." Six shots a piece, the only way to win this battle is to take out the opposing team with the six shots you have, or to draw them into close-rage combat.
0973 - Battle mode that limits the battle to Zoids that are not airborne, often taking place in confined areas (such as an abandoned city).
0992 - A one-on-one match with no restrictions whatsoever on weapons and arsenals.
6690 - Shooting Challenge, used in arcade games. Allowed mid-battle entries into the fight.
0999 - Backdraft's battle mode. there are no rules; there are no rules whatsoever. All you have to do is win.
0990 - The ZBC's equivalent to 0999, but with some rules for safety etc.
1001 - The Royal Cup. Held only once every 4 years and is open to all Class A teams. The first to earn 5 wins, locate, and make to the hidden goal is the winner and is promoted to Class S.
Oh, I almost forgot, if one of your mechs leaves the Battle Zone for any reason, it may not re-enter combat.

Anyone remember which page I posted the latest updated version of the Team list?
I'd be willing to serve as a judge, thought having competitors still in the running serving as judges may cause problems down the road.
Also, if a mech violates the rules is the team out or just that mech?

Hmm, it depends if the pilot of the mech broke the rule with or without the knowledge/aid/support of the rest of the team. If it was with, the whole team goes. If it was without, just the pilot.

EDIT: Also, just out of curiosity, how dense\heavy is this armor you're cooking up for your mechs buddy?
which is why we need multiple matches at the same time.

Mech Limit (# of mechs allowed in-play at a time): 3
Any takers for this one? We need two teams and one person to RP the Battle Judge.
OOC: Combat will be in the brown area on the map.
Sign me up.
Is the match limited to the brown section, or the entire map?
Also is that orange section in the brown section contour(and if so, how high is it?)
Lastly, what is the scale?

Oh, I almost forgot, aiming a weapon at the B.J. in order to force a decision is also against the rules.

OOC Before I post I must say that this 'premonition' is not so. It is called the Zero System. Example: However, one more factor put the Wing Zero above everything else: the cockpit's "Zero System," which allowed the pilot's mind to interface directly with the Gundam's combat computer. Although the exact nature of the Zero System's operation is unclear, it appeared to operate by "sampling" the pilot's thoughts and, combining them with current combat data, presented the pilot with various alternate outcomes. Thus, depending on the pilot's mood, the Zero System could tell him/her how to achieve total victory... or decisive defeat. Nevertheless, the mental stresses the Zero System would place on the pilot would be too great for any ordinary human to handle, and even the five mad scientists saw the dangerous turn their work was taking. See it is in this stage that the Wing Zero increases it's capabilites by 50% making it a more eefective mobile suit unit and the same can be said for the Gundam Griepe which uses the PX System. Example: Aside from the modular design, the G-UNITs also feature another new innovative feature: the PX system. The PX system takes advantage of the increased adrenaline a pilot feels during combat and also increases the performance of the mobile suit. However, the PX system has a time limit which if passed has serious consequences for both the pilot and the suit.
Now before you say something you should check it out. You obviously don't know much about Gundam so we cool. And the Power Sword is a metallic blade with Plasma-like energy flowing around it. And I wouldn't doubt your mechs could be slightly faster. And well see I was gunna do that with the hunt and seek thing but a common strategy is attack and retreat. And with cloaking tech these guys will be hard to find. Also your mechs were prolly made for speed but so were the Gundams which to clarify they were also built for maneuverability. They are hard to beat close-range I'd say our units are prolly pretty evenly matched yours may be a little faster.

09-12-2005, 15:15
Ok so yeah but see the difference between us is that my suits could already match yours in their normal mode but in their enhanced mode (ie PX System and Zero System) they might surpass yours. Emphasis on the might see now it rests on the pilots ability to fly the suit. Plus machines have a lot of trouble predicting humans where as it is simple to predict a machine.
Hakurabi
09-12-2005, 22:08
That's an assumption. Until you do something genuinely unpredictable, they're both going to be predicted easily. In a low-character combat RP, we're going to need to be really creative. Could you make an IC battle judge ruling? I'm finding it hard to think of a reason why we should disperse ICly. OOCly I can understand it's to improve the RP, but ICly there's no reason to stop.

Dang! That's 6,000 units (1 unit=1 milliliter) and is worth quite a pretty penny (I think that's how that saying is supposed to be used).
