  • Tesla Coil - 3500 WP

  • Mine Curtain - 1500 WP



Damage:

  • Tesla Coil - 20,000 - 25,000 damage per round

  • Mine Curtain - Fort attackers lose 10% of their current HP before meeting the regular fort cannons.



Special:


  • BIGASS CANNON - Big Cannon needs to be reloaded with gold.

  • Tesla Coil - Tesla cannon damage scales according to #defenders.

  • Mine Curtain -NA



FAQ:

1. Does it mean we have to reload the BAC each time after it fires? No

2. How much is each reload for the BAC? 50K

3. Does the damage of TC scale up when the no. of defenders increase or down? Increase

4. When do we have to reload the BAC? Auto

5. Would the Tesla damage of 20-25k be with 1 or X defenders? Undecided

6. Tesla/Big replace basic cannons, right and mine curtain complements the basic cannons? Correct

8. Any reload required on Tesla? No

9. Are the cannons limited to tier S? No

10. Will the new fort design appear this weekend as well? Yes but not in the clan hall page only in combat

11. If yes on 5, when and how would you like our clan tags? Soon, PNG format with transparency


Additional points:


  • If you build a new super weapon, you don't get a refund for the old one.


  • The special weapon attributes won't be working yet so the big cannon doesn't have limited ammo and the damage of the tesla coil doesn't scale according to # defenders yet.



More disucssion here. Please note that this summary covers only till post #86.

Fong Pei is serious business

Posted by Walker |




While Sios citizens may have already seen the Baton of Justice in action, it appears that somes Sios criminals are hardly cowed by its awesomeness.

Chief Inspector Fong has thus published a poster showing the fatality of the Baton. Be warned, the strike of the Baton is merciless. Fong Pei is serious! Ouch!

You have been warned!

After numerous days of shadowing the Sios Chief Inspector, we now have an exclusive! The legendary Baton of Justice unleashing its wrath upon obstructors of justice. Tremble in your boot cheaters! And ouch that hurts!

3 lanes for fort attack

Posted by Walker |


After centuries of war by the various clans, the Sios Government has decided to set some rules of engagement that will be followed by all the clans. This is to ensure minimum collateral damage to the civilian population.


  • 3 lanes to attack the fort, each lane having a level range


    • Front

    • Side

    • Rear


  • Defenders are automatically assigned to their highest lane for their level.

  • Superweapons take 30 secs to reposition by CMs.

  • Mines cover all lanes and don't need to be repositioned.

  • Defenders get a 25% damage reduction but cannot attack. Defender xp may get boosted



Rumours has it that various CMs are threatening to go on strike as they are now in charge of moving the uber heavy bad ass cannons. Question of the day: How many CMs does it take to move a supercannon?

Influx of immigrants to Sios

Posted by Walker |

The Sios Government has released statistics that Sios is becoming ever more crowded. Currently, there are 60,000 active airship captains jostling for airspace. While no license is required to operate an airship, the Government is worried that the new Sios Citizens may not be acquainted with the airway code and culture of Sios.

Therefore, to ease the social integration of these new citizens, the Government has appointed a taskforce to compile important FAQs. Please do your part as a Sios Citizen and assist the taskforce.

Fong Pei Files X-2

Posted by Walker |



After taking up office on the 1st day, Inspector Fong is not taking any slack and is hot on the heels of a new case! The suspect is GChow, a lvl 97 explorer, who comes under investigation for illegal scripting, due to 6 consecutive fort attacks in 3 seconds!

More updates and discussion here.

Updates:




President of Sios, Pain Sama has just appointed Fong Pei as Chief Inspector and given him authority to police the game:

Since the forums are a big part of BS, starting today, we will be giving the S.P.D. (Sios Police Department) the authority to police the forums as well as well as the game.

Extending the jurisdiction of the S.P.D. will allow it to deal with cases such as false accusations against innocent players by multis who used other multis to frame them.

Overstepping "the line" (personal attacks, false accusations, whining too much) in the forums may result in swift police action.

Inspector Fong Pei will be promoted to Chief Inspector and will be in charge of all S.P.D. operations. Police ships will also be refitted with the new "Baton of Justice" upgrade (among other upgrades).


It does seems like a pretty tough job for just one man! Many good citizens have rushed forward to apply for a position. Some hopeful citizens also hoped that there will be a policewoman to assist Fong Pei <3

Market intervention by Sios Central Bank

Posted by Walker |



There have been underground rumours that the Sios Government will do market intervention. It is widely believed that the target will be the resource auctions. Meanwhile, Sios citizens rejoice over the expected dip in resource prices. More discussion here.

Is Fong Pei really back??

Posted by Walker |



Check your attack screen carefully, for you never know if the policeman of Sios is on the prowl again. It seems that rumours of Fong Pei sightings have been confirmed. And once again, Fong Pei ravaages everything in his path especially with his Fong Chaduns. Click on his profile to keep tab on his latest location. More discussion here.

Battle Stations makes MyPaper's headlines

Posted by Walker |



Original article from my paper <<我报>> Singapore's first free chinese newspaper,

The following is the Chinese to English translation.

Page 1:


3 university students founded a gaming software company that did not take off, and nearly collapsed. Fortunately, the social networking site, Facebook, provided a lifeline at the most critical moment.

The company, Tyler Projects, started anew and designed the massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) “Battle Stations” and launched it on Facebook. The revenue generated saved the company and enabled them to continue their dreams.

Battle Stations is a type of social game, and is the first Facebook MMOG launched by Singapore developers. It is currently the most popular Singapore Facebook MMOG.

Battle Stations generated a monthly revenue of US $30, 000.

Figures show that Battle Stations has 15, 000 daily active users (DAU). In other words, Battle Stations has an earning potential of US $2/mth/DAU.

According to experts, social gaming have an earning potential of up to US $1.20/mth/DAU.

Having higher earning potential than other social games, Battle Stations' popularity is apparent.

If the 55,000 monthly active users is used as an indicator, Battle Stations can earn US$0.58 from each player on average.

According to one of the company's partners, Leonard Lin (27 years old), some social games and web applications can only earn US $0.01 from each active user.

What criteria is needed for a social game to become popular and profitable? Will social gaming development be a potential source of revenue for game developers in Singapore? Today's “Headline News” will take you through the world of social gaming.

Page 2 (Section on Tyler Projects only):

Local video game start-up companies find it hard to attract investors. Because of this, Tyler Projects had to find more sources of revenue.

Leonard Lin recalled the situation 2 years ago, “We were full of ambition, and wanted to create a “Final Fantasy” like computer game. When the game was finished, there were over 3 million unique downloads for the trial version. But only 1500 copies of the full version were sold.”

After analysing and going through gamer's feedback, Leonard and his partners realised that the games they create need to have earning potential, such as through advertising revenue and sale of virtual goods. “We couldn't spent one year designing a product that can't earn revenue.”

60% of Battle Stations' revenue comes from virtual goods, 20% comes from in game cost per action advertising (eg inviting players to fill up surveys, buying discounted items, etc), remaining 20% come from conventional advertising.

Ultimately, a social game needs to increase its player base in order to be profitable. “The game needs to be easy to pick up, yet must have enough depth and scope, as well as many small gaming sections, in order not to lose the gamer,” said Leonard.

“Some very popular social games and applications are over simplistic, causing their popularity to be transient, leaving little chance for earning revenue.”

The game must also limit the the expenditure of the player. Usually, virtual goods sold by fighting genre games give an advantage to the player. If the purchase of such virtual goods is not limited, players with greater spending power will quickly gain invincibility in the game, and lose the desire to play further. Gamers who are unable to afford the virtual goods may feel injustice and thus quit the game.

Tyler Projects will chose a two prong approach to further develop its business. Besides building public opinion by rolling out social games that have depth and scope, simple social games will also be rolled out to attract more users, in order to attract investors to invest in the company. The company, in collaboration with Scrawl Studios, plans to rolled out a beta version of “5 Kingdoms” at the end of October.

A new world

Posted by Walker |


Fed up with the ravages of war and plundering of war that has plagued Sios?

The Sios research council has recently come into contact with a parallel dimension. After an intense battle, our esteemed leader TY has negotiated peace with the leaders in the parallel dimension. Henceforth, our dimension will be known as Sios-FB, while the other will be known as Sios-FR.

Sios-FR seems much more peaceful than Sios-FB, and seems like a paradise for retirement. For those who wish to apply for a visa to Sios-FR, please refer to http://www.new.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=18063885304&topic=17181 for application details.

Technology breakthrough!

Posted by Walker |

Big ass cannon


Telsa Coil upgrade



The Sios Technology Center has broken new ground in the development of new arsenal of mass destruction. While the stats of these new weapons and parts have yet to be released, they are expected to be released very soon.

Super fortress



The foretold arms race has also spurred the development of super forts and fort super weapons by individual clans. It is believed that clans with more war experience will be able to produce more powerful fort upgrades due to greater testing during wars.

In other news, worry about rammers turning the tide of clan wars and preying on helpless airships have yet again sparked off another discussion on the woes of non rammers. Underground rumours has it that the Sios Council may soon implement Electronic Airway Pricing (EAP) similar to Singapore's Electronic Road Pricing (ERP). But it remains to be seen if this move will appease non rammers and penalise rammers sufficiently.

Ping Pie crisis?

Posted by Walker |

Rumours has it that Ping clan has ran into problems in acquiring the latest weapons as the rival clans have curtailed market supplies due to its hot selling Ping Pie. It seems that the Ping clan has been unwilling to share the recipe for the sumptuous Gourmet Ping Pie that it produces.

Rival clans have tried ways and means to get hold of the secret receipe but to no avail. Fort raids, infiltration, spying, bribery, death threats have all failed to yield any clue about the secret receipe. In a show of brinksmanship, rival clans have not only boycotted Ping Pie stalls, but also forcfully forbid the armoury stalls at each port from selling any weaponary to Ping.

"The turth is, there is no secret ingredient," says Adrian, Ping CM. "The Ping Pie is tastes good as we have made an effort to use the best ingredients."

"Though the curtail of market supplies has affected us, we are inclined to believe that this childish act of trade sanctions is only transient, and that the consumer will be unable to resist our alluring Ping Pies," beamed Chloe, Ping Head Baker.

However, the sudden withdrawal of demand have lead to a bloat of Ping Pies left on the shelves. As a result, some Pingsters have decided to put the excess pies to good use instead of just throwing them away. See replay below for more details:



Ahoy! Ping Pierates!

Scandal at the Border

Posted by Walker |


It was found yesterday that Border Guards across Sios have been deserting their posts once a month to have a party night in Alanna’s Love shack located on the outskirts of the Grand Imperial City. Thus leaving their toll systems on standby and at a setting of 5 AP to cross instead of the usual 15 AP.

One of our reporters attempted to interview a toll guard while he was being *entertained* by one of mistress Alanna’s *barmaids* “The government makes a killing off that travel scam” he responded. “The AP tariff is a joke! I mean come on……. Its *supposed* to keep the smuggling down, but with the new smuggling engines there’s no point! They just get around the checkpoints and the normal captains are forced to pick up the tariffs, this is our way of getting a break while giving them one” he smiled to our reporter, who then witnessed the guard captain beating the toll man for talking to the press, when they were supposed to be on duty.



It appears this has become a unit tradition for over 3 months now, travelling to the love shack and spending some spare cash on the good beer and willing women (or men as rumours claim). On every second weekend, these not so hard working men and women take a not so well earned break in this VERY well known establishment. Lowering the tariff charges to 5 AP to give the other captains around Sios an almost free trip to the Love shack to celebrate as a working community.



Bartender of the Love Shack, Alanna Chie, has also noted an increased business trend. "Business has definitely soared during the second week of every month and though the girls are all working overtime, the extra generous tips more than make up for it."



"The guards are very discplined and well behaved. So there isn't any cause for concern. In fact, their presence keeps the thugs and ruffians away :)" said Noris, Assistant Bartender.

This trend looks set to continue as the Sios Government seems to have its hands full on lowering the crime rate. Combatting identity theft, money laundering through auctions, daylight robbery and variouss other scams seems to be the top priorities at the moment.

Lamentations of a new level-85-cannoner

Posted by Walker |

From the editor: This article is two weeks old, but nevertheless still relevant *I hope*



Oh yes, all along I had thought leveling is good news, as it would clearly mean you’re inching towards new ships, new weapons n parts… In short, new power!

And yes I know that although my ship the SinDragoon ain’t some powerful shit, it should at least be able to take out NPCs easily, NO SWEAT!!!

Alas, I was wrong…

And how wrong I was when I clicked ‘Explore’, gleefully having bought my new n shiny Blade Sail… “Time to PWN some ass!” I said…

It’s now official… I HATE THE NEMESIS REAPER!!!

Blardy hell!! My impressive arsenal of 6 Yamato Prototypes can’t take down that prick (pun intended) in 2 volleys, leaving only up to 1000hp, and having to suffer 2 retals (total damage = 15000), before finally taking it down with 1 last cannon??????

Why am I so suay??? If I had put A BIT more into gunnery, I could have taken it down in 2 volleys cleanly… If I had one Hammer of War… JUST ONE… ok waid a min, LL WHRS MY HAMMER OF WAR???

Ok it’s time for me to switch out of whining mode… and smell the roses *ahem* gunpowder…

Sigh, things are JUST gonna get tougher…


Signing off in tears,

The 1v1 scrolls

Posted by Walker |

It was juz another clan war that Captain Nicola took part in, unfortunately, her Battle Royale was out of energy and out of HP. Biting the dust once again, she dragged her feet across the the damp soil of the Corxas jungle, while waiting for the ship's solar crystals to recharge themselves under the dim light of the tropical rainforest.

All of a sudden, her foot got caught she fell flat on her face, kissing dirt. Obviously annoyed, she took out her glistening hunting knife, expecting to cut away vines that entagled her foot. As she turned her head, a glint caught her eye. Nicola used her hands to uncover the dirt, and realised that it was a small metal chest with a lock

Using a high rock, Nicola broke open the chest and saw some parchments. Upon reading them, she realised that she had stumbled upon the lost 1v1 scrolls.


So far the unwritten rules known though the land, the famed 1V1 scrolls are laid out to protect the two clans who wish to participate, the unwritten rules are read as such.

: The clans involved will inform the entire community as to their intentions of killing each other in the forum
: Any extra clan that is still active, shall honour the sanctity of the event, and simply watch and be entertained, till as time that the event is complete.:, section two. Once the battle is done, the rules of 1V1 are revoked, for the 1V1 is complete.
:Clans involved have to inform the CMs of the other clans in the tier such an event and have their acknowledgement, either via PM or forum
:Any other special arrangments pre or post 1V1 are not considered part of a 1V! and CMs should @@communicate directly to ensure no misunderstanding occours

If the surviving clan wishes to engage the bystanding clan in another 1V1 immediately after the first has been completed, clans involved must inform the masters of the bystanding clan directly; before the first war begins to take place.

War quotes*
Private “sir, the enemy tank has lost a track! Shall we continue?”
Officer “no son, we’ll take our smoke break while they repair it.”

Private “sir, the enemy fort’s gate is open!!! It appears they have broken a hinge!!”
Officer “So? We’ll wait till they fix that hinge…. Or else we’ll have to do it when we capture it, and I aign’t no darn mechanic.”

Private “I see an enemy with his back to me, I’m taking the shot”
Officer “LIKE HELL YOU ARE! GIMME THAT WEAPON, why would you think of doing that?!?!?!? I mean… it’s just not nice.”


Private “sir, the enemy is in the bathroom! Should we capture him by surprise?”
Officer “hell no! I don’t want him to crap himself! Whether he’s on the toilet or not! It’s just not nice”

Nicola realised that the scrolls could end the bickering among clans that existed eons ago. She quickly rushed back to her airship and prepared to set sail for the Sios Council Elders, for the scrolls could be the key to setting things right after so many years of chaos and strife.

The return of the scarlet witch

Posted by Walker |

It seemed like another quiet night in the Jade Archipelago. Only the occasional barking of dogs at the Jade harbour broke the still of silence.

Captain Nicola was struggling to keep awake at her sentry post. She wished that she could doze off to lala land, especially since the earlier day's battles had take their toll on her body. Her droppy eyelids began to close despite her futile efforts to stay awake. And she started dreaming.

She saw herself drifting across the beautiful night sky, with the cool wind blowing in her hair. The starlight lit up a stage from nowhere and she began to dance on the stage. Suddenly she felt black shadows creeping closer and closer to the stage. She tried to scream, but no sound came out. And then she began to fall through the darkness.

Nicola jolted awake. She saw silhouettes against the horizon, appearing larger by the second. She thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her again.. But a blinding flash of light and the unmistakable roar of a yamato cannon was convincing enough that the Ping fort was under seige! Nicola quickly blew the alarm horn as loud as she could. Airships come to life and the nightsky was brightly light with battle flames. War cries and screams filled the air as captains try to tear each other's guts out.



Suddenly, an ominous rumble was heard. No one paid any attention. But the rumble got gradually louder. Both sides stopped fighting when they realised that the noise was not coming from either side. The rumble grew louder and louder, like an growl of a rousing carnivore. A bright glint of light had now appeared and seconds later, it became visible enough for nicola to discern it as an airship shaped like a fort.

Nicola peered through her telecope and peered at the captain at the airship's steering wheel. She gasped. Captain Anne was back!

The Sios Bank opens!

Posted by Walker |


Earlier today it was announced that a new way to stop overflow of ship energy has been found, and it comes in the form of a…. bank account?

The Sios fuel commission has been harassed by President of Sios, LL, to clean up their act and stop wasting the lifeblood of their armies, known as *AP*.

Mutated bunny??! Or is it Big Buck Bunny...

Due to inactive captains, and matters of human nature, ships have been overflowing their AP’s and leaking them into the countryside, causing massive environmental problems, including the mutation of local animals and critters, which have somehow learned to fly and have been attacking wayward airships that have strayed out of city limits for a little personal *exploring*.

They Sios bank awkwardly, will not be accepting deposits directly. They will only be allowed to credit AP’s to an account through an outside donator, after the captain has bribed the donator with information.

This way of running the bank, seems only to promote gas theft, and several donators of large amounts (one being generous enough to donate 500 AP’s worth of fuel to the co-operating captains) was duped the other day, by captains who signed the offer, got their fuels, then shot the clerks and ran away laughing. The Sios police force have rounded up all the criminals and put those who had used the stolen fuel into debt.



This bank may be the turning point in stopping fuel robbery, but it is doing nothing to stop the environmental damage, many ancient turtles are starting to get upset, and becoming more violent in their protests.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Posted by ping pirates |





I found these jokes in my email. The original Sios version is here : http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=18063885304&topic=13777&start=90&hash=432ae03f0d29709a2f53bfda8d7c3f74


But maybe some answers from some famous people.


BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken
wanted CHANGE!


JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need
to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other
side of the road.



HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross
the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right
from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it
deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......


DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must
first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes
after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is
help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT'
problems before adding 'NEW' problems.


OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he
wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn
from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to
give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not
live his life like the rest of the chickens.


GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to
know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is
either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.


JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!
It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.


MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price
dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider
information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.


ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.


GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us
the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.


ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.


JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.


BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book.
Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is
much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% .......... reboot.



ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken?


BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?


ALGORE:
I invented the chicken!


COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?


DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?


AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens!


And now, the local version (for Singapore & Malaysia):


LEE KUAN YEW (Former Prime Minister Singapore):
We have installed crossing lights at all traffic junctions. All chickens
should be able to cross safely to the other side.

LEE HSIEN LOONG (Current Prime Minister Singapore):
Gantry points have been set up. All chickens wanting to cross the road
are advised to top up their cash cards first.

ABDULLAH BADAWI (Current Prime Minister Malaysia):
We have to be fair to all chickens. Some want to cross over the road, some
do not. ........ Zzzzzz .......zzzzzz ....... Now what were we talking
about? Ah yes, chickens. We will form a Royal Commission to decide
whether it is right for them to cross the road.

MAHATHIR (Former Prime Minister Malaysia):
Now even the non-bumi chickens want to cross the road? How can they
disrespect and disregard the bumi chickens? We must be allowed to cross over first. It is our right!

ANWAR (Opposition party leader Malaysia):
We have enough chickens waiting to cross over in September.

SAMY VELU (Former Minister of Works Malaysia):
After we have erected the toll booths, all chickens are free to cross the
road.

And now for the Sios Version!!!

LL : The chicken cross the road because it was a clone(multi) and didn't want to get frozen

Rawr Clan : The chicken cross the road because it was too chicken to res vs us

Tier B Clan : The chicken cross the road because it didnt want to go to Tier B

Fong Pei : The chicken cross the road so that it could go DOING DOING DOING

Jon Lai : The chicken cross the road because it cannot take flaming

Marina : I talked to the chicken to give me a script, but the chicken didn't want to, so I reported it to LL and the chicken cross the road to escape LL

Elron : What the F**K is this Chicken?

Frank : I had 75 chickens, LL asked 2 to cross the road so there is 73 on my side of the road

And now for the Special Ping version

Arzhou : We don't know if the chicken will cross the road. It could get lost while crossing the road, or it may not want to cross.

Chloe : A fat cow occupy this whole side of the road, so there is no space for the chicken hence it crossed the road

Dennis : What chicken? ***BuRP!!!!***

Lu Feng : The chicken crossed the road because there was a rooster on the other side!!!

Liam : I told the chicken to cross the road so it crossed the road

Pingster willing to run naked in crowded shopping belt

Title: Pingster willing to run naked in crowded shopping belt

In a recent clan war, the Ping fort was still left standing after battle, something which had hardly happened for a long time. Intrigued by the possibility of the clan still floating, a conversation in the chatroom went as follows:

23:50 L IF WE R STILL UP 2MR THIS TIME.. DO U FOLKS WANT A 1V1 WIF PIRATES Xd

For international citizens who are unacquainted with Singaporean slang, this particular clan member whom we shall name as J to protect his identity as a minor, seemed extremely confident that the fort will sink. So confident was he that he was willing to run along Singapore's busiest shopping belt, Orchard Road, naked, if the fort was still left standing after 24 hrs.

The Ping news team interviewed several members of the Ping leadership on their views

CM Adrian Zhou expressed extreme displeasure at such undermining of the clan spirit.

"This is outrageous! Such unbecoming behavior amounts to treason! I have a good mind to detain him under the Internal Security Act" he said.

Captain Debbie Ang was most upset at the possibility of seeing J naked.

"Oh I am so shy! Think of all the kids and ladies if he really loses the bet. It will be so awkward and embarrassing, " she blushes and covers her face.

Thankfully for the citizens of Sios, BANE clan decided that such an atrocity would be extremely damaging to the youth of Sios. They attacked the Ping fort 3 hrs to the end of countdown.

"As much as we were busy harvesting plasma rocks to strengthen our clan, we had to do the right thing to safeguard the youth of Sios," said Captain Adrian Hew of Bane.

Captain J could not be reached for comment at press time.

Interview with the creator of MS BS 2008

Posted by ping pirates |

Ping Reporter: What do you call a captain that gets 80 ore, 10 plasma rock, and 1 uber-crest of death? I am sure you all know what I am talking about here…..you don’t? Okay, for those that live underground expecting radiation fallout, I am talking about the winner of Miss Battlestations! 2008.

Ping Reporter: We have the audacious personality behind this wonderful contest, Keith Parker! Keith, welcome, brief us about this sexist contest.

Keith: Sexist?!?!? I thought the players of that poorly developed application, Pimp, were on that square? Ah well…. Okay, the contest goes like this…

Ping Reporter: Wait! Before you start jabbering on about something, resident-flamer (>.<) Jon Lai says this was his idea, is that true? Keith: Who’s Jon Lai again? Oh yea, well, he did say something about it before hand on a separate thread where I confronted LL on the idea. I had honestly never viewed that particular thread, until he started complaining. I looked and was surprised at the fact that he had mentioned something about it, but didn’t take it any further than make a comment. Amazing coincidence, actually. ;-) Ping Reporter: Okay onward with the explaining!

Keith: K, the contest consists of four rounds. The first round is simple questions that anyone who has been on here for some time should know about. Only six contestants are carried on from this round to the second round, and all ties will result in a tie breaker *short* round. The second round is just a acid filled version of the last one, with questions that range from the obscene to the out-of-date. Four ppl will make it out of here alive to come to round 3. In round three, the questions are on more of a moral and ethical basis. These will be judged by all judges on a score of 1-10. The two that are approved as the best for BS will move on to round four. This is where the community votes as a whole as to who they want as Miss BS 2008.

Ping Reporter: Well, that was quite confusing.

Ping Reporter: Who will be judging the contest besides you?

Keith: Well, we have Stephanie Nguyen, Jeremy Hing, Alanna Chie, Jonathan Parich, YauFai Chia, and of course LL is in here too. Ping Reporter: Hmmm, developer backing sounds pretty legit. Question? How are you going to stop things such as cheating, scalping, multis, etc? Keith: Well, we have LL at the helm of this ship, and I hope he can steer us in the right direction as far as this issue is concerned. We have measures in place to stop people from cheating to make a winner. Ping Reporter: Sounds a little cryptic…

Keith: Well, can’t divulge too much now can I? We might have all the deleted CHAOS members coming out of the woodworks to wreck it.

Ping Reporter: Hmmm, CHAOS? Okay…. I might be interested in joining after hearing about the prizes, what’s up for grabs again?

Keith: Well, The prizes are staged, so that everyone(every girl, sorry Jon, you can’t enter and no, not Nicky either!) who enters wins something for the picture of the Miss BS sign. I’ll run through the official listing:Winner: Custom made one-of-a-kind crest will be powerfulLadies who make it past these rounds win this:1st round: 20 ores2nd round: 60 ores3rd round: 4 plasma rocks4th round: 6 plasma rocks

Keith: Also, everyone who is entered officially into the contest gets a plasma right off the bat. People that aren’t even associated with the contest can get in on the action. Clans are encouraged to support the contest, if you can get half of your clan to join, your clan fortress gets a 5 million gold donation to it. Also, if individuals join both the Miss BS group and the fan page they receive a free 100AP. There are also more things to come for those that participate as the audience so stay tuned!

Ping Reporter: There you have it! And remember you heard it from Ping Pirates! One more question, spit or swallow?

Credits goes to Keith Parker of Ping for this wonderful article!!!

Clan Wars : Exp Boom or Lag Fest? (Preview)

Posted by ping pirates |

This is the start of a few Analysis and Reviews of the Battle Stations games on facebook, besides the usual 10 questions interviews. It wont discuss about spit or swallow, but more "real" issues facing the Battle Stations community. Like all discussions, there is no right or wrong, only a good analysis and bad analysis, hence Ping does not proclaim this is the right view, it is up to the reader to agree or disagree.

Clan Wars for some time has been an exp source for various active war players. To those who doesn't know about clan wars, the basics goes like this: Every clan has a fort, to take part in a clan war, you have to be a member of a clan. The fort strength is dependant on donations from clan members, the more donations, the stronger the fort. The fort can also be defended by members of their clan. Like ships, a fort can also be sunk, when a fort is sunk the clan is unable to attack other forts, and it will take 48 hours (except for special events) to salvage the fort which is done for free. When the fort is damaged, there is also an option to repair the fort. If a clan sucessfully sinks other clans fort, their clan gets war points. The more war points a clan has, the higher their clan is ranked against other clans. However clans can only attack other forts they are at war with, and of course their fort must be up.

However clan wars while said to be fun, also has their short comings. It has been repeatedly criticised as unfair and buggy. One such bug is the declaration of war feature, if a clan declares war, you cannot attack back unless you declare war back.

Clan Wars used to give so much exp, that the exp gains is as follow : Clan Wars ---> PvP ---> Explore --->>>>> Trading (for traders). However recently Clan Wars exp has been nerfed, and NPCs (from exploring) exp has been buffed. Some of the actions the community has taken are to petition to remove the nerfs.

Our resident Ping Reporter has spoken to different players of different clans of different nature to see how the nerf has affected them and their clans. The clans are :

HCZD : HCZD is a small clan with most of their members current at NS. It is a clan made more for members of the Hwa Chong Institution of Singapore. They seldom resurrect in clan wars due to their service to our nation.

ELITES : Elites is also a relatively small clan with some solid members with 3 Kingdoms nicknames. It is also relatively new and was made together with the Legends clan.

CREED : The former Temasek Hegemon clan, CREED was 1 of the first few clans to be made. Its history could be made into a great story, and at 1 point of time, overtook EVA to become the top clan in warpoints, and has undergone several leadership changes.

EVA : EVA was a clan founded by former Gamblers. For quite a while, they lived under the shadow of Gambler, but has since proven that without JC and his merryman, they are still a force to be reckon with.

Ping : No I didnt interview myself! Ping is the reporter clan of BS!!!

Other clans : Some who I have asked has not replied to at the point of this post.

Disclaimer : The players spoken to are not representing the views of their own clan but as a player. They were asked from different clans hence may produce different answers depending on factors such as size of clan, activeness of clan, and war strength of clan. As their views may be controversal and may not agree with their clan masters or the general community, identities will be protected and hence they will be refered to as XXX member, XXX being their clan.

The following questions were asked :

1) Why did you join your clan over other clans?
This question was asked to find out what made this clan special and stand out as per compared to other clans.

2) Clan Wars : Exp or WP?
These are the 2 main material benefits of clan wars. The question was to see what made players more attracted to clan wars.

3) Which is more important to you? Clanship, Good Fort/Ships, or having LOADS and LOADS of members?
These are probably 3 attributes that most clans strive for, recruitment, quality members, and having fun while doing so.

4) Excluding your clan for obvious reasons, which clan is the best clan and why?
This clan was made to see how a member rates qualities in other clans.

5) Recently LL nerfed the exp of clan wars. In your opinion was it a good or a bad change and why?
Obviously DUH thats what the whole post is about.

A Pirate Passes Away

Posted by ping pirates |

BREAKING NEWS!

“Imperial Authorities have discovered the location of the Pirate’s Covent Admiralty! Ping is reporting live as Imperial Warships surround the Clan Master wing of the Admiralty. The atmosphere is tense... surrender demands are being issued right now, but it seems unlikely they will be accepted.

We have not yet heard how the Empire has discovered this bay, but rumours are flying that a traitor exposed the location during promotion ceremonies. Wait... something’s happening now! Shots are flying, a bright flash has just shot through the roof of the Admiralty, it looks like the blast of a prototype cannon!

And there’s a ship! A ship has just crashed through the roof of the Admiralty, followed by another, and another! It looks like the Covent Admirals are fleeing! The Imperial Warships are firing and in pursuit, but their new stats haven’t yet been processed, and they don’t have the nav to catch up!

No, we're seeing that’s not true, one of the Covent ships has caught fire! Black smoke is belching and it’s going into a downward spiral! We’re being told it’s Kiss of the Covent! Kiss of the Covent is going down, and I think yes, yes, the Clan Master named Patrician was onboard... oh god! Kiss of the Covent has exploded... I repeat, exploded! No one could have survived that explosion! Oh, if only Patrician had invested more in craft, he might have survived to fight another day...

Pingsters are sad to annouce the departure of a great player, a well known forumer, and of course a good writer, who has departed from Battle Stations. Dimitri, you will be sorely miss by your clan and all other players who has sunk you for exp before, including the FAT COW.

Speedy

pretty much the wake up one..

SSU1

did u question his motive?

SSU2

why didn't you jus quit after getting reset? I wouldn't have the haert to try it again.

Speedy

actually take the time back to when yuri got disappeared

Speedy

LL asked me if i we both want to take a delevel (by 1 level) to restore yuri

Speedy

i basically said no, because we were interclan pvping

Speedy

then we got into some disagreement and he kept on thinking yuri is my multi

Speedy

when he discovered he wrongly put yuri out for 3 days, he decides to delevel me by 8 lvls

Speedy

i was okay with that, since at one pt I said to him, you're the law so you can do whatever u want

Speedy

so one day i just woke up with -8 lvls

Speedy

i was okay with that, since I wasn't even playing for xp heh

Speedy

and we haven't talked since

Speedy

SSU2

howdid you use your APs...while you were not clan waring?

Speedy

i explore some and fed some to others

SSU2

i see

Speedy

can't really feed at lvl 73 tho

SSU2

would you have done anything differently than you did?

Speedy

i dunno.. whatever i do wouldn't make much difference

Speedy

99% of my xp comes from forts anyways and i hardly use all my ap on sinking forts

Speedy

8 ap = 120k for me

Speedy

go figure

SSU2

wow

SSU2

go figure is right

SSU2

i meant...would you have done anything differently.... in terms of what led you to get deleveled

SSU1

yeah. we were debaiting on weither u could kill our fortress in less than 6 hits

Speedy

i'd do whatever entertains me rather than climbing the ladder

SSU3

back...

Speedy

so, what are my orders?

Speedy

haha

SSU5

we work in collective chaos

SSU5

not orders

SSU4

You'll be sinking the next fortress for us.

Speedy

yay

Speedy

sink creed with a lvl 10 ship

Speedy

:D

Speedy

so if u were admin for a day, what would u do?

SSU5

give the option of colour for ships

SSU1

i'm being pro-active. letting our smaller clansmen 'graze' on the carcass we leave of a dying fortress. ;)

SSU6

lol color for ships

SSU6

gonna make yours pink SSU5?

SSU3

i tink the game has become too complicated....

Speedy

i dun think admin has power to change ship designs

Speedy

haha

SSU5

lol

SSU1

bigger ships are the lions that take down the elephant. smaller clansmen are the vultures and scavengers that pick off the scraps. ;)

SSU5

build up a strong team

Speedy

technically for BS, you don't need a strong team

Speedy

just one giant godzilla

Speedy

is all it takes

Speedy

lol

SSU5

but that's no fun!

SSU6

i love attacking ppl with huge xp and low speed

SSU6

i mean hp*

Speedy

heh

Speedy

you luv sushi then

Speedy

46khp before he got reset

SSU6

lol

SSU3

sigh..

Speedy

2 immo 2 pistons too

SSU3

i need to go visiting..

Speedy

k.. u have fun!

SSU1

we need to conquer a city in Sios and claim it as our own 'bar'. like those other clans.

SSU5

I've always wanted my own bar

Speedy

i'd claim the resource auction

SSU6

pshh

SSU1

haha.

SSU6

as if they actually claim them

Speedy

btw, can anybody tell me why scripting is so bad?

SSU6

depends on the script

SSU4

It gives you an advantage over others.

Speedy

sounds like LL is endorsing ppl to train monkey to monitor your ship

SSU6

if its anything to make it easier for you when attacking/defending and such i think its a bit unfair for everyone

SSU4

Yeah. I got my monkey cheap...

Speedy

then spending more time on a game would make it unfair to everyone else too

SSU6

if everyone got the same script then its understandable

SSU5

monkey?

SSU5

I'm very confused

SSU4

grease monkey.

SSU6

*hires SSU5*

SSU5

Lol

SSU4

:)

Speedy

i was actually referring to the animal

Speedy

Heh

SSU4

Yeah, I know.

SSU4

But, grease monkey is cheaper than a real one.

SSU4

Just that it isn't allowed.

SSU4

Is using pets to play allowed?

Speedy

therefore its more rewarding to stare at the screen all day? heh

SSU4

(for those in the dark, grease monkey is one the favored scripting tools.)

SSU5

thank you

Speedy

Heh

SSU5

the light is now on

Speedy

i hardly use scripts, i just write them heh

SSU4

But, there are better tools than grease monkey.

SSU4

You "used to" write them. :)

Speedy

actually LL is challenging me to beat his new system

SSU6

not a good idea

SSU6

what is his new system anyways?

Speedy

his captcha thing he mentioned

SSU6

Hmm

SSU4

Ha. Good luck.

Speedy

i'd have to see how secure it is

Speedy

:D

SSU4

We can't have any members attempting to cheat.

Speedy

Im not saying i'm gonna cheat

SSU5

better no

SSU5

not

Speedy

i dunno if i'll still be around when the new system kicks in

SSU1

or you let us all feed on u when you're a lvl 20 and we're back at lvl 1 windriders.

SSU4

:):)

Speedy

Lol

SSU1

not sticking around for the fireworks to blow off.. is there something ur not telling us?

SSU4

(Checking whether I'm in a windrider yet...)

Speedy

im having a great time on my windrider

Speedy

what are you talking about?

Speedy

:D

SSU4

Yeah, probably it is pretty carefree back at in the lower levels.

SSU4

Compared to the 70s.

SSU4

I might just reset myself. :)

Speedy

its much more relaxing down here

SSU6

lol i remembered everyone hating you back then

SSU1

pump in all your gold to the SSU before u do that tho. ;)

Speedy

you should.. lvl 10 a whole different world then what I used to be in

Speedy

well do SSU1

SSU1

and i mean. sell all your stuff. and THEN reset.

SSU4

I had a whale of a time with 5" and 8" guns and some nav.

SSU6

kids this days

Speedy

*will*

Speedy

Lol

SSU4

That would be a lot of cash.

Speedy

actually its the same old 10 or so ppl hating me in the forums.. they just keep bumping the threads heh

SSU4

I have 2m without selling anything.

SSU1

oops. That was for SSU4 if he resets. :S Speedy u do what u like in our clan.. (just don't break any rules. ;))

SSU6

i want a cookie

Speedy

[Draws a cookie with one chocolate chip]

SSU6

ok

SSU6

looks like a boob

SSU4

:)

SSU1

one chip? arn't u stingy

Speedy

Wooops

SSU4

Only to you.

SSU6

sure SSU4

Speedy

chocolate is bad for your health

Speedy

just eat the cookie

Speedy

:D

SSU4

I thought it was a mid-drift.

SSU4

With a belly button.

SSU6

looks like a deformed boob to me

Speedy

heres a molded one then

Speedy

[Draws a better cookie.]

SSU6

lol

SSU6

ok...

SSU6

who want the molded cookie?

SSU1

so what's the verdict on her?

SSU6

shes ok to me

SSU4

Muh.

SSU4

We can certainly deal with her.

SSU5

seems nice?

SSU4

Yeah, it's not like she'll be pressuring us to do things we're unsure of.

SSU4

Somehow you expect (ex-) level 70s to start telling you what to do.

SSU1

yeah she made it clear to me in my early talks with her. she's pretty cool with how we run. she's not out to change our clan into a super 'hardcore' group. and vice versa

SSU5

that's cool - responsible gaming and all...

SSU1

she seems pretty cool. but yeah.

SSU1

she may bounce around to another clan eventually.. i asked about "WTF" (waking the Fallen) she's tight lipped about it as well..

SSU1

she mentioned she's still doing the 'forums' for that group.

SSU5

she's just looking for temporary lodgings then

SSU4

It would be cool to have her sink a fortress.
