HALLOWEEN FLEET EVENT!

Event overview:
Ten days ago, a Vulcan science vessel resupplied at Drazona station, before embarking on what was supposed to be, a six month, deep-space survey mission. Approximately seven days ago, the Vulcans lost contact with their vessel and had been unable to locate it, until receiving word from an El-Aurian freighter, that they'd passed by a distressed Vulcan ship, adrift in the Eta Eridani sector block.

While the freighter was unable to render aid, they transmitted their scans of the vessel to the Vulcans. The scans disturbingly revealed 140 unstable life signs, as well as a substantial amount of Trellium-D in the cargo hold; a substance known to destroy the higher brain functions of Vulcans. At this time it is suspected, that the dangerous cargo was intentionally and surreptitiously transferred to the Vulcan ship, by person(s) unknown.

Starfleet is ordering you to assemble an elite rescue squad consisting of yourself and one other Starfleet officer from Stonewall fleet. You will be deployed to the last known coordinates of the Vulcan vessel on a mission to board the ship, assess whether or not the crew can be rescued, and take whatever measures are possible to treat the crew and contain the exposure.

Pack an environmental suit, flashlight and battle gear, Captain. If the crew suffered long-term exposure to the compound, their behavior could be aggressive and unpredictable.

What:
Players will form teams of two, and will be guided by an event host (Fleet Captain), through a Foundry mission as described above. The mission will have various timed objectives. Teams will be ranked on their speed, survival and number objectives completed. The highest ranking teams will have access to the highest valued prizes.

Who:
The event is open to all Federation and KDF members of Stonewall Fleet, Deep Space Stonewall or the House of Nagh'Red.

When:
October 31st, 2012 (Wednesday) 3:00 PM PST to 12:00 AM PST
November 3rd, 2012 (Saturday) 10:00 AM PST to 10:00 PM PST

Final Team Standings, as per below! Congratulations to all teams who participated in the event!![Click HERE for SUPER-Enlarged version]

Attention, Captain!

The High Command has new orders for you! You will proceed at once to the Eta Eridani sector block for assignment. Exact coordinates will be transmitted to you on a coded frequency when you arrive.

Our intelligence network has uncovered the position of a Vulcan science vessel adrift, in a system wrought with violent nebulae and plasma storms. They appear to be in some sort of distress. Our sources tell us that there is a substantial amount of Trellium-D in the vessel's cargo hold... a substance we know to destroy the higher brain functions of Vulcans, and possibly other species as well.

You will board the Vulcan ship and retrieve the Trellium for weapons research study by the high command! This is a child's task, unworthy of a warrior of your... influence. Unfortunately, for you, your reputation for ruthlessness has preceded you, and some influential people in the high command think that you are the right warrior to deal with this particular handful of pacifist Vulcan scientists!

We have heard that the Federation has dispatched a rescue team of their own... be sure to greet them... appropriately! Fail this mission, and I will personally carve out your heart and feed it to my Targ!

Q'pla!


What:
All members of the House of Nagh'Red are now also invited to this event. Be sure to form teams of two, with another fleet-mate of KDF allegiance.

Remember:
You may only participate in the event once. You may choose to participate with either your Federation or KDF toon, but you may not participate with both characters, as the event prizes are awarded out of the same prize pool, regardless of faction.

Lol, I made this an all-day event, specifically with you in mind, Jimmy. We'll fit you and any other Australians in somewhere, even if I have to modify the times for you :)

Sounds like fun! :D

Gonna be fun. LOVE the trailer

The trailer is epic!!! :woohoo:

Looking forward to this event!

Wow, looks amazing! Can't wait.

Who made the trailer?

Well... CBS and Cryptic may disagree with me on this... but I put it together ;)

I was going to say whoever did the trailer really has some FANTASTIC video editing/creation talents! That vid is freaking AWESOME!! :woohoo:

I'm in it to WIN, who needs a partner?

Wow! That looks like it will be fun, and very scary. :dry:

Epic trailer too.

Just a bump as its getting nearer to time.
Also looking for a partner to team up with...message me

EVENT UPDATE!

Stonewall fleet members of the House of Nagh'Red (KDF) are now welcome to participate in this event! See the second post on page one of this thread for details of the KDF faction's involvement in this incident!

Also, please note the change to the award ceremony day and time.

Two questions Voleron:

1. Do you want us to start a separate Fleet Event to allow kdfers to RSVP from the House with our kdf toons?

2. What was decided regarding external promotion? Do you want us to advertise this publicly or keep it to fleeties?

Cheers,
Araa/John

Araa,

Thanks for reminding me about the event listing on the KDF side. I will list the event there shortly!

The event prizes have been donated from members of the Stonewall community, to be put back into the community. Essentially what this means is that while prizes are exclusive to fleet members who hold a minimum rank of 'member' in any of the Stonewall fleets, I wouldn't be completely opposed to taking members from other fleets through our 'haunted house', if they're wanting to see what it's all about.

As it stands right now, I have one team from another fleet that would like to participate in the event. I'm allowing them to do so, with the understanding that they're running the event for fun, and that they won't qualify for prizes. I wouldn't be opposed to allowing more teams from outside of the fleets, but Stonewall community members receive first priority :)

Awesome.. I'll interpret that as "Sure, mention it and send any interested non-fleeties to me until I say stop!".

Does it require much extra effort on your part to add them? We could post in the forums (e.g., with a recruiting message), but I'll let you guys take care of that if you see fit.

In any case, is there a public link to your poster that we can refer them to? I assume they won't be able to easily access this thread directly... if not I'll work out something.

Actually, a patented Araa Super Brilliant Idea (AraasBI), how about you just put the information in the 'caption' section of the youtube video! That way they get the full video treatment AND explicit details from you on how to follow up... Lemme know if this works.

On the recruitment angle, we could even use it to formally extend an invitation to the House of Mattachine. Just sayin'.

P.S. I'd still list the prizes, even if the text is intended for non-fleeties. Helps to show what fleetie benefits look like. :-)

Araa,

I've re-posted this thread in the Public Lounge section of the forums. It's accessible by guests to the site. The link is:

http://fleet.stonewallgaming.net/forums/public-lounge/50108-halloween-fleet-event-public-thread#50109

Something to consider is that the event takes between 12 - 25 minutes to run (our testing results), depending on the skill level of the group. It's not just a mission that you can pick up off the list... it needs to be hosted by an event host.

As it stands, on Halloween (the first event day), at certain times, I'll be the only one available to host this event. Go easy on the referrals, because I'm not sure how many groups I'll be able to handle on my own, or with our limited resources, bearing in mind that Stonewall Fleet members will be given priority over those who aren't members.

Hope this addresses everything! :)

The Wednesday sitting of the Halloween Fleet event has begun! Message:

Voleron@Akrilon or Traull@Joogoo

If you're unable to participate today, we're running it again on Saturday. See the first post in this thread for event details!
