"The Cogs" Ruleset

[RearAdmiralZill]

Crew and Substitutes
Each team has to have a complete roster of eight members. Two captains and six crew, spread across two ships. Failure to provide a full crew roster on the day of an event is ground for an automatic loss and a compromise match.

Its already there.

no alcoholic liquids are allowed, except moonshine

Currently we are unable to enforce any ship or weapon-related mandates... And so a team is permitted to switch their builds and roles right up until the last second of the lobby's countdown timer. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN PERIL. If a ship is incorrectly fitted due to last second switching, the match WILL NOT be restarted. You have been warned.

so it will be ok if the team will confuse their enemy by taking one build and changing it to another at the last seconds?

[Linen]

Looks like. Can't see that it can be interpreted any differently.

Although it's risky and I'm pretty sure some will see it as a dirty move. 

[AquaMac]

That happened to us on both sides with the Pastafariens, and so I brought that up in after game interview. They have no plans on initiating a ban on changing weapon load outs at last second, unless it is abused.

[AquaMac]

Your example Zitruskiller would be abusive, and unsportsman conduct to do so intentionality I would think. it is different if you are trying to match the other load out.

Does the captain HAVE to absolutely be in the captain spot? My style of playing is interesting and I prefer to fly as an engineer...

That role's actually called pilot, captain is an entirely different thing. If you want to play as an engineer captain in The Cogs, go for it. Hell, you can run without a pilot if you really want to.

AH, haha I've always just called it captain, sorry. Thank you for clarifying though! A friend told me I wasn't allowed to do that.

Your friend is derp.

If i clearly understood, we (polaris) in week 7, will play  against the winner in the muse-squadron match. If muse will win, can they fight against the challenger cog team, or they are always at the upcomers cog?

[Swallox]

Theoretically, Muse can go all the way to the Champion spot. The only difference between the Muse team and the other teams is that Muse are allowed to play with AI crew members, 'cause they sort of made the game. (and they sometimes have trouble finding crew since they're, y'know, making the game.)

[Clara Skyborn]

Also, we made the AI. If you make them, you can play with them on your team. So, you guys could like, bring your kids or something.

oh I'll let my 8 year old daughter have a go on a gun if we can't find a sub next time 

P.S. - when making the AI...  naming one of them Phoebe was bound to confuse people

[Coldcurse]

what if both teams dont play?
