Annihilation

ANNIHILATION

A Major Faction may “annihilate” a planet or location represented on the SWRP Chaos Galactic Map. This involves one Major Faction's members fighting to destroy a planet or map location. New Major Factions may not launch Annihilation threads for the first 30 days after their application is approved, nor may a planet or hex that Major Faction controls be the target of an Annihilation during this time.

  • Label your faction's name, the hex or planet, and the opposing faction (if there is one) in the topic title.
  • A Major Faction may only start one Annihilation every 4 calendar months.
  • A Major Faction must give 7 days notice of their intention to Annihilate a planet.
  • Superweapons may be used without Admin approval in this thread. Superweapons used in successful Annihilation threads do not need to be destroyed and may be used in subsequent Annihilation threads.
  • Custom planets require the permission of the custom planet's creator to be targets of Annihilation threads.
  • Stampeding is not allowed.

    Stampeding is when several members of a Major Faction post repetitively without waiting for a proper response from the opposition.
    Stalling is also prohibited. Stalling is where any opposition deliberately seeks to under perform in order to shift the lion share of the work on the Annihilator. Annihilations can be intense, but they are also ultimately a collaborative experience. Treat them as such.
    There is a moratorium on Invasion and Annihilation threads between the 1st of December and the 8th of January. Invasions and Annihilations must be submitted for judging prior to December 1st, and may not begin before the 8th of January.


REQUESTING AID

1. Any number of factions and/or people may join this thread.




VICTORY DECLARATION

1. The thread must have a minimum total of 400 posts between all factions.

2. The attacking faction must have a minimum of 10 faction members supporting their side. If this faction cannot meet this requirement within 72 hours of the beginning of the Annihilation, that faction forfeits and the Annihilation is void.

3. Annihilations will run for a maximum of three weeks. If all factions involved in the annihilation wish to extend it they may reach out to the overseeing Administrator to request an extension to a month. This extension must be requested before the Annihilation starts and the annihilation's running time must be made clear in the opening post of the OOC thread.

4. At any time, Faction Owners may request an Administrator to review an Annihilation for the purpose of forcing an early concession due to inactivity from any offending or defending Factions so long as all other Victory Conditions are met. If the claim is found valid, the Administrator may initiate an early Judgement deliberation with the presiding Roleplay Judges. If this method of Victory Declaration is found unsubstantiated, it may be provided to the presiding Roleplay Judges’ for consideration in their Judgement upon the natural conclusion of the Annihilation.


Once an Annihilation nears its completion, contact any Administrator(s) and they will inform the Role-play Judges. If neither faction concedes, the Roleplay Judges will decide the victor.




ANNIHILATION VICTORY

1. The victorious Major Faction may choose a single planet or location to destroy, and that planet or location will be removed from the SWRP Galactic Map.

2. The Influence Cloud in the targeted hex and every hex adjacent to it is removed.
