BATTLE FOR FRIENDSHIP AND EXP: ARBALEST LINE BATTLE (ALL CAPS)

[MURDERTRON]

The magnanimous TEAM 1 has attacked despicable TEAM 2 in the field, in what is to be a truly glorious battle.  Both teams are armed with plate armors, arbalests, steel bolts and smoke bombs.

In order to gain entry to this truly amazing battle, you meet a few requirements:
1.  Have 15 strength and show your stats in the application.  In order to wear all the armor and use an arbalest, you need 15 strength.  If you don't wear the armor or use the weapons, you will be literally taking experience out of the mouths of all of our children's' mouths.
2.  You must be willing to follow the rules. The rules I have made are in place in order to make sure the battle finishes in a decent amount of time.
3.  You must apply to both sides.  This is important, because we want to have a good time and play with different groups of people which we don't normally get to during "normal" Strategus.
4.  In your application, please put "I have read the rules and I want to take part in this battle.  I am agreeing to get kicked if I fail to follow the rules at anytime and risk being banned from future events."  There will be admins present and ready to enforce the rules.

THE RULES:
1.  Bring a full load out every life.  There is exactly enough gear for everyone to carry a full set of armor, an arbalest, two stacks of steel bolts and a smoke bomb.  Maximize the exp that everyone gets by bringing a full set of gear every life.  There is no need to recycle gear.  I doubt anyone will survive past firing 25 bolts.
2.  No fighting before the forward spawns are set up and no attacking the forward spawns.  The forward spawns are essential so we may finish the battle in a decent amount of time.  Everyone should set their spawn to their team's forward spawn in order to not draw out the battle.
3.  You must line up, and do it tightly before firing.  When players in the line die, you must file to one side and keep it tight before taking your next shot.  Follow this diagram below roughly.  This means no "ramboing."
4.  Leave your ego at the door.  Most of us aren't speced for crossbows.  A few of the participants will be.  It doesn't matter.  We're all here to get good exp and have fun.
5.  No idling or AFKing.  Be active the whole time.

  You don't know how lucky I am. there was a EU battle like this. ( http://c-rpg.net/?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=5063 )  I killed 15 and 0 dead, even though I have only 1 crossbow point.

[ShiftKnife]

I'm in, this sounds like loads of fun.

Gimmick =/= theme.

Please stop wasting troops and money on these lame gimmicks and start putting together fun themes instead.

For example: 200 shiny troops vs. 1000 peasants, or fencers vs. brawlers, or one nation vs. another, etc.

If I wanted line battles I'd play M&M.

Thats what i have been telling him.  Would be much more willing to give troops to support actual theme battles.

[MURDERTRON]

I don't give a shit about themes.  I'm not here to roleplay.  Did you notice my name is MURDERTRON in a medieval game?

[BaleOhay]

I personally think this one might be fun.  So I will join in.

However, as a whole we can always stop the flow of troops till we got a battle we all voted on.

[Lemon]

YES!

[Sir_Mahtin]

Bout time we brought Napoleonic wars into crpg.

this part sucks, was going to sign up before reading that

As long as everyone agrees to not take flags, don't destroy enemy forward spawn/set your spawn at enemy forward spawn etc this doesn't seem necessary

This means any one with some x-box WPF is going to be firing at a line of people standing still (easy headshot every shot)
But I guess you have done this so you actually get through the 2k tickets

Was looking forward to trying to avoid shots and somehow hit someone

taking experience out of the mouths of all of our children's' mouths.

>the mouths of all our children's mouths

What kind of Geigeresque aliens have we spawned?

[Lemon]

YES!

Apparently that is worth 2 infamy. Thanks Frisians.

[MURDERTRON]

sign up peeps

You're the leader of a pirate clan where everyone has a pirate name =P

But in all seriousness I do enjoy the fact that there have been a couple strat battles that are more focused on fun than conquest.
