Alright Rivals, your turn to select your matches for this weekend. I'll be leaving the Dunes contract in the list because it could still be filled with Mercs if someone really was hoping on Dunes. Although I didn't expect there to be much interest in it for this gametype. However, if it doesn't get selected, we may use it as a Merc mock cargo carrier battle just to see it in action. That or we'll do a fun match of some kind.
There will be weekly prizes so be sure to keep track of your teammate names in case you win. However for this signup, all I need is your company name and CEO. Early Reg folks just need to enter their match selection. Example from the early registration thread:
Company: Zukasauce Inc
Mission Statement: "To spread Zuka's love through all the world via his sauce."
Base of Operations: Starostrog, Guild
Logo (Optional): <Artistic Zuka Sultry Grin image>
CEO: Zuka
Steam ID, In game Name: Zuka2016, Zukamania
Now because this is the official signup week. I need you to add one more bit of vital information...your match choice.
So reply with:
Contract Requested: <Insert map name here>
Then also if you could state if you are willing to mercenary for other matches, that would help a lot too. Basically means your official match counts but the others will be bonus battles to help fill matches. So "Willing to Merc: Yes/No"
Alright, thats it. Again, there is no long term commitment with this event. Take contracts as often or as seldom as you like. Twitch streaming info will be posted later along with a public mumble server for event use.
Remember, all point payouts are split between ships on your team.
Week One Rival Contracts:
Contract 1: Favors For Shinies!
Map: Northern Fjords
Cargo: Luxury Goods
Payout: 300
Word has it there is a shipment of luxury goods passing through the Fjords. Bunch of rich pompous Barons want to splurge on shinies while their people starve.
Well thats fine by us. Lets intercept that shipment and take that contract for ourselves! Never can tell when a favor from a Baron might come in handy.
Contract 2: Heroic Publicity
Map: Dunes
Cargo: Medical Supplies
Payout: 300
Independent states in the central nations are a mess right now. Word has it a contract for medical supplies has been issued for Nalm and Slyka. Showing up as heroes to those poor folk sure would do wonders for company publicity.
Lets hit that shipment and give our rivals a good thumb to the eye.
Contract 3: Channel Rat Monopoly
Map: Water Hazard
Cargo: Building Supplies
Payout: 300
So a bunch of peace loving channel rats got their homes redecorated with bullets during the war. Chaladon isn't helping so a contract has been issued for building supplies. Now this doesn't sound super lucrative but this was a major trade route before the war. If we set up shop there, we might have a strong monopoly on the area for awhile.
Lets hit that shipment and secure that channel for ourselves!
Contract 4: Scratch The Tiger's Back
Map: Canyon Ambush
Cargo: Metal Ore
Payout: 300
As much as Yeshan heroes tout reforms. There is no denying the fact the remainder of their fleets are important to police the north. Especially those blasted Arashi.
Now a contract has been issued to run raw materials which will be used to rebuild the fleets that were lost. Having a bunch of Yeshan Generals in our debt is a tantalizing idea for our company. Lets hit that shipment and secure a protection deal while at it.
Contract 5: Operation Icehead
Map: Fight Over Firnfeld
Cargo: Food Stuffs
Payout: 300
Angleans...weird folk cooped up in all that ice and surrounded by fantastic technology of the old world. Now I'm not fond of running up there, but there is a contract that was intercepted. Seems the iceheads partied too hard on the close of the war and are now facing food shortages.
Granted it wouldn't be a bad thing to rid the world of their kind. However, you all know these people don't go down without a fight. Last thing we need is them launching massive raids on our shipments elsewhere. Intercepting this contract would help prevent that. Who knows, we may even be able to work out a deal from this.
Sure would be nice to not have to fear every Anglean flag we see.
