This is the OOC thread for the upcoming GR invasion of Ord Mirit. Civil discussion is, as always, encouraged, and funny gifs are welcome, but please be respectful to each other. Arranging duels, clarifications, etc. can all be done here, but keep any disputes to PM.

Below you will find spoilered the terms of the invasion, and the map for Objective B.

I would also like to thank [member="Tanek Santii"] for volunteering to keep track of people's movements and locations like he did on Telti.

Spoiler: Terms

1. 5 Allies each Faction

2. 2 chars allowed per writer. (Characters must identify the One Sith or the Republic as their "main" faction for their character, being active in the faction as of the cut off date of June 23 within the last 30 days and Padawans/Acolytes active in the last 14 days are free to participate.)

3. Objectives determine victory - PvP focused, NPC add to story but don't determine victory. Only defenses that have been in place through RP up to June 23 or in verifiable Canon will be allowed. Transfer of objectives is allowed only if objective has been lost or you have been defeated. 3 non-spammed posts must be made to show transfer of moving from one point to another

4. Two week time limit starting from July 19 through August 3rd, 2015 -- Opposing Faction Leaders must decide on the outcome. If no outcome can be decided within 48 hours of one side proposing victory, an unaffiliated RPJ will be assigned to us by the SWRP Staff Team.

5. No second chancing the first RPJ's decision. We accept it and move on.

6. Both Faction Owners agree to preemptively inform all members of the opposing factions that all problems that occur within the invasion that cannot be solved by PM must be routed through the opposing Faction Admins in an effort to handle the issue at the lowest level possible.

7. We ask that for any NPC use that any characters who use them write down their exact numbers to begin with and post it clearly in each and every post.

8. NPC limits based on rank.
Padawans/Acolytes — 100 Npcs only
Knights — 200 Npcs
Lords/Masters — 300 Npcs.

NFU's number of npcs should be dictated by experience and rank. However, their numbers are not to exceed 300 NPC's (agreement can be had between FA's on a case by case basis). For those who use NPC's, you must use them from your initial post. Failure to do so, either in some form of pre-deployment or immediate use, and your usage of NPC's will be forfeited for the extent of the invasion.

There is also no swapping of NPCs between chars.

9. NPC infantry may be traded for vehicles:
50 for an AT-AT scale walker
20 for heavy artillery
20 for a main battle tank
20 for a tank sized walker
10 for other vehicles
If in doubt ask!


10. 24hr cut off before a PC character may move on if their opponent does not reply or if they are not engaged. (Unless conversation with the opposing writer has been agreed to wait more.) Last invasion, we had a lot of issues with the mention button. We would suggest pming your opponent each time you post against one another, in order to collaborate. However, if no response is given, please communicate with the FL's, with your pvp partner in the pm, so everyone is aware of the conditions and the movement forward.


OBJECTIVES:

A. Naval Battle of Ord Mirit: Above Ord Mirit the One Sith and Galactic Republic fleets meet. 5,000 meter limit for each side.
B. Secure Fuel/Supply Depot: The Galactic Republic must seize control of the Supply Depot and OS must successfully defend Supply Deopt through PVP only to determine victory.
C. The Battle of Ord Mirit: Ground Battle. NPC military forces meet on the ground to fight over the planet of Ord Mirit (i.e., think fleeting but on the ground). 5,000 troop max limit on both sides.

Spoiler: Map for Objective B

​

OS allies:

1. [member="Anja Aj'Rou"]
2. [member="Keira Ticon"]
3. [member="Perla Pirjo"]
4. [member="Disciple"]

GR allies:

1. 
   [member="Solan Charr"]
   
2. 
   [member="Alva Calvarona"]
   
3. 
   [member="Andras Garon"]
   
4. 
   [member="Setzi Lunelle"]
   
5. 
   
   

Allies (and members) of the One Sith can also sign up here.

I have three major concerns.

First: The map for Objective B has no legend, can we get descriptions of those numbered locations?

Second: There is no terrain description yet available for Objective C. I would like to have one made available as soon as possible so our forces can be properly detailed. This sort of thing would reflect the real world intelligence gathering we would have done if we weren't so IC lazy.

It doesn't have to be a map, though a detailed description within the next day is a necessity for fair planning.

I can make a hex map based on that for everyone to use.

Third: Are there going to be any stipulations for PC FU's engaging NPC forces? I've heard it's been an issue in the past, with PC FU's more or less powering through NPC's forces.
It would be nice to have something in the invasion agreement that either better enforces responsibility for both sides in that area, or bars such engagements (meaning strict P v P + NPC v NPC only).

Cheers and beers folks, we'll see you on the battlefield!

Also [member="Ali Hadrix"] is referring to Open Source Intelligence.

Yeah, that stuff. *Said the Intelligence Operative dismissively over a cigarette and a cup of caf*

First: The map for Objective B has no legend, can we get descriptions of those numbered locations?

• Nor did the map for Telti, far as I can recall.
  I have no issue with leaving the internal decoration up to the writers involved; the map is mostly there to keep the PvPers at B segregated enough for "isolated" duels, and that's about it.

Second: There is no terrain description yet available for Objective C. I would like to have one made available as soon as possible so our forces can be properly detailed. This sort of thing would reflect the real world intelligence gathering we would have done if we weren't so IC lazy. It doesn't have to be a map, though a detailed description within the next day is a necessity.
I can make a hex map based on that for everyone to use.

• Generally, RP backup is required to support claims to intelligence. If you have threads where such was conducted, I see no issue leaving the terrain of C up to you (since the wookiee doesn't have much to say on the subject).
• If not, the GR will have to go in blind, in that aspect.

Third: Are there going to be any stipulations for PC FU's engaging NPC forces? I've heard it's been an issue in the past, with PC FU's more or less powering through NPC's forces. It would be nice to have something in the invasion agreement that either better enforces responsibility for both sides in that area, or bars such engagements (meaning strict P v P + NPC v NPC only).

• Any stipulations made are already included in the terms.
  Objective C is dedicated to ground battle, as stated in said terms; to my understanding, it is to be primarily NPC vs. NPC. In case something akin to what you described above does happen, we can deal with if it does.

I hope this addresses your concerns sufficiently.

I can't add you to the GR ally listing until your role has been confirmed by a GR FA.

My apologies, had I been running our side of things there, I can assure you, you would have been provided with one. If I ever have the chance to rectify that, I'll do so.
I would feel more comfortable if such details were hashed out ahead of time. It means less communication having to take place during the battle, slowing down posting rates and leaving writers confused with no central description to refer to.

• If not, the GR will have to go in blind, in that aspect.

Of course, though this is your territory we're talking about, and it's your right to determine the battlefield upon which we fight.
Only if you are sure you're comfortable, I can establish some RP detailing the territory for both our forces. I only need to know OOC if there is anything you want included (i.e. fortifications, bases, etc).

• Any stipulations made are already included in the terms.
  Objective C is dedicated to ground battle, as stated in said terms; to my understanding, it is to be primarily NPC vs. NPC. In case something akin to what you described above does happen, we can deal with if it does.

That's plenty good enough for me, thank you. If there does happen to be too much bleed-through, I'll ensure they're handled between the involved parties if possible.

I can't add you to the GR ally listing until your role has been confirmed by a GR FA.

I'm actually running GR forces for the Objective C, if that's good enough for you. If not, I'll get Gir to send you word?

Thank you Vrag, for answering my concerns.

Cheers and beers, and I look forward to meeting your forces!

Hello All,

Sorry this list wasn't posted on here faster! Here is the GR ally list.

GR Allies:
1. Solan Charr
2. Alva Calvarona
3. Andras Garon
4. Weiss
5. SC-4486

I'm sorry if I responded a bit slowly to anyone attempting to sign up through this OOC thread, but we were getting a few sign-ups via PM and the GR threads.

I'll not be participating in this invasion (first GR invasion missed in all my time on the site!!) as a writer due to an LOA/Slow posting but I hope everyone has a great time! We tried to do something a little different with it by setting up a fleeting, ground force battle/NPC, and PVP objective set-up and would love feedback when it is all said and done.

Lets keep this Invasion as drama free as the last GR/OS invasion and all have a great time!

It means less communication having to take place during the battle, slowing down posting rates and leaving writers confused with no central description to refer to.

• I don't think confusion should be a big issue on B, seeing as it'll be just PvP; my preference here is to leave it up to individual duelists to decide what their environment is like.

Of course, though this is your territory we're talking about, and it's your right to determine the battlefield upon which we fight. Only if you are sure you're comfortable, I can establish some RP detailing the territory for both our forces. I only need to know OOC if there is anything you want included (i.e. fortifications, bases, etc).

• As established, this is our territory, so it'll be the OS hashing out the territory of C once the invasion happens.

The last remark was directed at Draco, not yourself.


[member="Kian Karr"]

I'll update the first post with the current ally listing, thank you.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Unrelated to the current discussion at hand.

Anyone wanna have a go at me at Objective B?

 

[Vrag]

ATTENTION​

​

As per discussion between GR and OS FAs, please be advised that the following clause has been added to the terms of the upcoming invasion.​

11. Nothing larger than a starfighter can enter atmosphere once Objective A has been 'completed'. They may engage other starfighters that move down from the fleeting objective. They may also engage any gunships and other flight vehicles that were over the field from the start of invasion in Objective C. They may not orbitally bombard the planet or otherwise direct firepower at ground troops. IF, AND ONLY IF, ENGAGED BY GROUNDFORCES, CAN STARFIGHTERS TARGET SAID GROUNDFORCES.

Alright, I'm on B. Who's going to come and play with me?

That rhyme was unintentional. Honest. Also, I am an entirely reasonable, pleasant opponent, FYI.
