Special thanks to all the participants. This is the last regular season day for The Mercantile War. While signups were very light this week, hopefully it'll be the deciding factor for some teams on their entrance into the finals. The final two matches of that day that are not filled will still be played but we'll be running match 4 as a House of Hardcastle Minepoon Spectacular.
Minepoon Spectacular will be limited to light mount gun ships. So Pyra, Mobulas, Squid, and Junkers. All ships must carry mines and harpoons. No other mounts allowed.
The final will be a player's choice match where I want you all to decide what you want to do before it starts. If you want another Minepoon you can. As with special battles like this, normal merc rules won't matter. Play with friends/etc. But I will need you to signup for them so we have some order going in.
Signups for Merc boat spots will take place in this thread and will be first come first serve. So if you want to fly in another match. As long as it isn't with fellow clanmates as per the rules, add your ship in!
Reminder to all teams. The event starts at 1pm PDT/4pm EDT/8pm UTC. Please be in GOIO ahead of time and ready to join matches. The event staff will not be messaging you to round you up. You will be given names of people to join on in this thread. However, staff will not be unreachable. We will be available on the Aerodrome mumble server as well as being online in game and utilizing the global chat in GOIO.
Aerodrome mumble details will be sent via PMs to all the CEOs who registered.
Streaming will be taking place @
www.twitch.tv/bullyboysRefs for this weekend should be:

So, to long time vets and to new comers, welcome back to the Aerodrome!

Matches will start going up around 30 minutes prior event. The refs will be updated if need be. Passwords will be sent out along with the mumble in messages via the forums here. Due to the limitations on ref staff, not all of the matches may be ready from the start. I will try to start and hold lobbies so technically I myself will be able to be joined onto if I am holding a match open for you.
Those of you who stated you'd be willing to Merc on your signups. Please select now the matches you want to merc in. You can select more than one. Heck you could select all of them. There will be no limits on the number of matches you can play. In fact it would be a great help if you could fill as we do have some rather vacant matches.
Keep in mind, these matches will be under Cargo Carrier rules. So in some ways, consider this an opportunity to practice the ruleset in preparation for following weeks.
