[TRI] would like to announce NATION WAR #457 taking place Sunday, December 24 at 9:00PM CST (Monday, December 25 at 3:00 GMT). It will be located somewhere in Sedina, so remember to prepare your ships ahead of time. This is very important this week as we will do another 3-round Nation War. Last week went quite smoothly so I am looking forward to seeing how this goes again.

Basic Rules:
-Pilots will split into 3 teams (groups) according to their nation (see below for details on grey team)
-Only those who are on-time are allowed to participate (very bendable)
-There will be 3 rounds
-You may not start fighting until the host signals the start of the battle - this includes the 15ish minute period prior to the planned starting time
-At the start of each round, pilots will be told the sector for the next round. After being taken out report to next sector in a combat ready ship
-No running from the battle arena
-The last team standing wins
-Prize is only distributed to those on the winning team who survive and will be handed out after each round
-Have fun!

There will be no grey team to start, but will create one if any team does not have at least 3 pilots. Once a team has 3 pilots all pilots of that nation will be required to join that team. Also, once a team hits the group cap(8 pilots but hopefully this is fixed), then a grey team will be created.

As for the 3-round setup we have this week, any feedback on this is welcomed. I'm sure there's something we may have overlooked so if you have any ideas for how to make this run smoother feel free to toss em out.
