Will there be any guides on? In case some players attempt to disturb the event?

It's a developer-run event, do we need guides in addition?

I'll be there if I can. My schedule is not wholly my own these days.

There's no need, Whistler; I'll be there.

Also, here are the rules:

1. Your team will be autoassigned when you fly into the field. You will be magically-docked and launched from your side's "jail."

2. If you cross into the other side's cube of space, you can be "tagged" (by being shot) which will result in your being docked with the enemy "jail" (a trident).

3. You may pick up the flag on your side, but if you leave your area, it will auto-drop. It will also auto-drop if an enemy shoots you.

4. You score points by picking up the enemy flag, and getting back to your side with it, without being tagged.

5. You can get your teammates out of jail by docking with the enemy capship without being tagged. They will also be let out in the event of a capture.

6. If all the members of one team are in jail, the other team gets a point, and all "inmates" are released.

When the players are returning to their side from a jailbreak, isn't it possible for the defenders to re-tag them almost instantly? That was a bug from the last game I played, not sure if it was fixed yet...

You're invulnerable for 12 seconds on launch now.

Do we get flags again? : D

Does the flag disappear now when a player scores a point with it?
May 15, 2010 Death Fluffy link
Oy! Its 23:00!
May 15, 2010 Death Fluffy link
Its 23:04!

Edit: To defray the inevitable accusation of spamming the thread, I'll edit this post. :P

I played through two rounds, or most of two rounds it broke near the end of the second game. Both games were a lot of fun. Everything worked well for the most part, the only issue-apart from known bugs, was that towards the end, Nahin and Surbius were both showing green to me.

Great job tonight guys, and to everyone who participated, great flying!

Oh, and for future reference, 'hhh' or 'asdfwe' or 'hlp plz' means I haz our flag and I've got a Roda on my tail!
