Transport from King_Shaun

Kelksta with some random ones in there - not sure what happened there.

King_Shaun, Noob, Conkeror, Neisino were the first "team" to come in. 1.25 hours between clearing fleet and colo fleet. Unfortunately, no SWS arrived

It sounds like Team Alpha has had some personnel shortfalls, and continues to have trouble gathering their four players together (one of them is on vacation or something, and the free-agent they recruited ended up going to the aforementioned team).

Far from perfection thus far - but that's why this is just an exercise Practice makes perfect.

[FrieZ]

Are we allowed to try again?

[conkeror]

Agreed on the far from perfection.

But yeah, I also would like another practice shot, can we ? I think its a great exercice to get to know teamates and learn to work with each other. And since there is rumors of wars in the air, i'd like to see us land attacks at 30 secs intervals as a routine job.

[digital]

I'll speak with clause and see if he doesn't mind organising another one.

[Warliter]

In line with this sort of organisation, this was based on a single target attack from 4 players. I believe it would be best to attempt to do this again to work on your timing / coordination.

@clause/admins
for a second level attempt I believe the coordination should be across 2 isles, i.e. hit them simultaneously. This would be a better test as the way we are set up you may be given mltiple targets and potentially in RL battle be coordinating with nmore than one team.

I would be quite willing to think up some scenarios for practice along these lines. I would also be quite interested in having an alliance wide one where co-ordination between KOM/Morkin or Luxor/KOM or even Corleth/Morkin/KOM.

Please let me know your thoughts on this

[Clausewitz]

Warliter, you nicely summed up some of my ambitions for future rounds.

I will point out that Shen noted this would run through (or until?) Friday, so the other two teams still have a chance to take a crack at it if they can get 4 members on the same sheet of music.

But in regards to future scenarios, it can definitely be expanded to include multiple targets, coordination between the various Morkin alliances, and/or competition between the various Morkin alliances.

I know a few folks from outside KoM were interested in participating, and that's the intent - give those who are weary of simply building and waiting for a war to challenge themselves, compete with others, and test their capabilities. Like I said before, practice makes perfect

[digital]

Maybe the current wargames should be cancelled and there should be an inter alliance attempt, say members from Morkin/Luxor/KoM (possibly Corleth if they are willing to come out of their bunkers). Would be a great way to boost inter alliance chat.

Or we could have a battle royale between the 3 (or 4) alliances with each alliance acting on its own with the aim to beat the other alliances.

[inyati]

This is a really great iniciative. I'll be exalting some people here ;D

[eproxy]

I'm tempted to write up an article for members that details the best way time fleets to perfection. Then again I was going to do a couple of other things too and I never got around to them. I'll see...

[conkeror]

Back in SOL, we created an excel spreadsheet to do these kinds of attacks with multiple people. I am not the creator of it so i will check with him if hes cool with me sharing it here. I'll let you know.

I think its a great idea. I was talking to Clause about hosting official Olympic War Games with all Morkin alliances but I was unsure as to how to coordinate this because I'm not that experienced.

Moment of truth: The E|SMXPhoenix war was the only meaningful war I've been on, on IK.

Anyway, if you are planning on organizing something and need help setting up members/coordinates/whatever, send me a message.

[kelksta]

Hey! Loved the idea btw! Good fun, I am a tad confused though because I swear I sent a sws?? Have you got the transport reports Clausewitz?? Just wondering what the hell I did! lol, I was a tad tired! Thanks!

[AeroS]

There is a clock in the top left corner of this forum that counts off the seconds. It should read the same to every one so if you post your attack duration in seconds and what the clock read when you sent your fleet, every one should be able to run their attacks off that counter.

Each team start a new thread in the warfare forum that is named for the island you are attacking. Have the most distant attacker send first and post his attack duration and the forum clock time, then all others can run their attacks off that post.
