The news of war spreads wide and far.
A man bearing the seal of a Yeshan ambassador enters the tavern in a desperate try to find what he is looking for.
He announces his presence, and informs the visiting guests that he is looking for mercenaries to fight for the Yeshan republic.
The tavern goes silent for a second and then goes back to drinking.
The ambassador looks stressfull, for an entire day he have been going around hireing mercenaries, and none have joined his cause yet.
He knows if he returns empty handed he would be punished, so he asks again, this time he make sure to tell guests of the large payment.
A man replies from the end of the tavern: "Warring for resources is a dirty business, don't come around here mister, none of us will join you!"
"Are you scared old man?" a prominent figure replies, she is clad in Barony clothing, but bearing no seal of any Barons.
The tavern goes silent as they know who is speaking.
The woman looks around, and then walks over to the ambassador.
"The pay is good you say?" he nods and tells her the exact amount of payment.
She smiles and replies: "Triple the payment, but we will not be part of your armada, we will do things our way and more precise than any of your officers can do themselves. Those are our terms."
The ambassador looks angry and replies in harsh language: "who do you think you are!"
before the ambassador can continue his insult a man shouts: "That is the Thralls mister!"
The ambassador goes silent, has his luck run out? is this what is has come to? Hireing lowlife scum to the Yeshan armada?
He looks at the woman again, she doesn't look like a beggar or a lowlife. She looks like the daughter of a rich baron.
He coughs and then says: "Your reputation goes far and wide, the thralls are well known to the west of here."
The woman replies: "If by reputation you mean our professionalism, then yes. But killing Anglean raiders is something we are keen to at this point."
The ambassador nods and pulls out a contract.
"Triple the pay, and your valued tactical opinion." he says.
The woman looks at it and laughs: "Lets set sail for the Yeshan empire, I will talk with your officers, and not sign anything before I know the risk."
The man gives the woman a time and place for departure, then leaves to try the next taverns.

Rumors spread that the Thralls have joined the Yeshan army. Notoriously known for their work in the baronies as prominent business, shady work, transporting missions, fighting and underworld contacts. It is no surprise that the Thralls would fight for the Yeshan empire, as the pay highly outranks the need for helping the poor anglean republic.

-Team or Clan name entering: Glowwater Thralls
-Faction: Yeshan empire
-Squadron name: Glowwater Thralls
We fill 2 boats and would need someone to play with us.

I just realized, if you can shoot me your Steam ID I'll add you to the Aerodrome Event group. We'll do setup from that when it comes time. If a mod could amend my original post and add -Steam ID, that would be awesome. Thanks.

This looks like a great event.  Makes me wish I could rejoin competitive play.

We'd like to participate, but lack another ship to actually do so. Hence we're interested in an alliance.

So you have 2 ships or just 1? Skrim needs a 3rd too.

Alright sounds good Skrim.

Wundsalz, just add your Steam ID and I'll add you to the Event group. Also be sure and list which faction you wish to fly for. Unless you don't care. If you don't then we'll assign you one after the others have submitted their choices.

There's been some support from the Gents for this event, but many of our players are abit overworked and tired due to the sheer amount  of practices and tourneys. honestly, i'm not sure on the attendence we can give, but i know my boat's got full crew and matti will hopefully be there with some crew, though we may need some mercs.

This just 1 ship Caylin?

Even 1 ship right now will be helpful. Actually may have to revise the split faction rule for groups that have 1 team and then part of another.

We'll most likely discuss it tonight, so expect answers then.

Alright, as an update!

Thats 2 merc boats from Cake?
Title: Re: Support Your Local Aerodrome Signups
Post by: James T. Kirk on February 04, 2014, 02:05:45 pm
2 mercs and 3 primary, yes.
Title: Re: Support Your Local Aerodrome Signups
Post by: Squidslinger Gilder on February 04, 2014, 06:46:16 pm
That works. Likely need them to merc for Anglean faction. We'll just need 3 more boats to get a solid 3 teams for each faction then. Well 5 if we don't bring a merc boat to fill SIR and the Cake mercs. Right now small teams with 1 -2 ships would be helpful to fill out the rest of the spots.
Title: Re: Support Your Local Aerodrome Signups
Post by: redria on February 05, 2014, 03:01:11 pm
Gilder, will you accept individual mercs, or are you looking for individual merc ships? Would you create a pool of interested individuals and let us build a couple ships out of that?

I am working towards making an organized way of doing that, but seeing as it's a little late in the ball game for these sign-ups, I was curious if you have anything in place.
Title: Re: Support Your Local Aerodrome Signups
Post by: Wundsalz on February 05, 2014, 04:45:22 pm
I'd like to sign up the Crimson Rhino Ryders (an alliance between CsM, SIR and Rydr).
We prefer to part of the the Anglean faction.

SIR will not contribute ships to any other Alliances during the event.
Title: Re: Support Your Local Aerodrome Signups
Post by: Squidslinger Gilder on February 06, 2014, 12:59:54 am
Wonder why I had SIR down for Yesha...alright well that works perfectly if you guys fly Anglean.

So currently we have 2 teams on Yesha and 2 for Anglea. Plus 2 extra merc boats from Cake. Redria yeah if we get about 4 more merc boats we can balance the event at 6 teams. Even if we don't get 4 we'll see about trying to fill any remaining.

Right now it is whoever can bring in a ship with crew.

IRIS Signing up with a merc ship

-Team or Clan name entering:Inquistion of the Rainbow Illuminating Sky Fleet (IRIS)
-Faction: ??? Highest paid
-Squadron name (Optional): Inquistors Revenge
-Steam ID: You already got me
Title: Re: Support Your Local Aerodrome Signups
Post by: Squidslinger Gilder on February 07, 2014, 09:22:00 pm
Well if we get 1 more team or 3 ships we can merge IRIS with the Cake merc boats and get that last match filled. If not, we'll work something out. We at least have 2 solid groups. Could extend match time to 1hr for each or keep the 30 min timer but do the final match as top scorers from each faction face off.

I'd like to find some way of getting the merc boats in but other than a rotation setup we'd need another team.

Several of us in Overwatch would love to fill a ship and participate, but none of us can solidly say we will be available :(
I don't know that I can enter us even for one ship.

All teams if you can give some input in the Aerodrome Steam group. Want to make a decision about the Merc boats. You should see the post as an announcement in Steam.
