Theme: Chaos


Theme Modifier
For this Flashpoint, the following Rules from Major Factions are altered and will apply for the month February and the last two weeks of January:

1. Major Factions must have maintained activity for 0 days as a Minor Faction before being eligible for Major status.

2. Major Factions must maintain 3 or more unique, individual, active characters to remain active. Each character must be written by a different person.

3. Any Minor Faction or group of Minor Factions may launch a Rebellion, so long as they have been Minor Factions for at least 0 days.

VICTORY DECLARATION
Invasions

2. Both factions must have a minimum of 3 members per side. If either faction cannot meet this requirement within 72 hours of the beginning of the invasion, that faction forfeits.

The Flashpoint begins 1200 EST 1FEB2020.

Would Minor Factions be able to launch more than a single rebellion at a time?

Would Rebellions still need to be announced during this event?

 

[Tefka]

Would Minor Factions be able to launch more than a single rebellion at a time?

1. The Rebellion rules say they cannot, and the Flashpoint rules don't alter that, so no.

Would Rebellions still need to be announced during this event?

2. Rebellion rules require that they be announced, and Flashpoint rules do not alter that, so yes.

I see two separate date frames, so am a bit confused. Should we expect minor factions to start jumping up today? Being it is last two weeks. Or Feb first

 

[Tefka]

The minor factions can begin applying for Major in February and the last two weeks of January 2020.

 

[Zaiden Dean]

So a related question, yet more out of curiosity, than necessity:

Do you have a limit planned for how many factions there are going to be on the map? Or legitimately chaos is the goal?

Tefka

 

[Tefka]

The only limit is there is no limit.

 

[Zaiden Dean]

Some people just wanna watch the map burn...

 

[Ilias Nytrau]

Zaiden Dean Nothing new there.

 

[Captain Jordan]

The minor factions can begin applying for Major in February and the last two weeks of January 2020.

The rest of the Flashpoint rules won't apply until Feb 1, then? Just the lowered Major Faction requirements in this thread?

That is definitively correct

Tefka this is like, suuuuper late, but I was reading over the Faction War | Flashpoints | section and came across an interesting tidbit of information:

• Hexes invaded further than five hexes away from a Major Faction's borders will not increase a Major Faction's Influence Cloud. Hexes gained in this manner will be given in accordance to the path of least of resistance to the targeted hex from the closest point of the attacking Major Faction's influence cloud.

I am having a hard time understanding that last bit of information. Is this to say that an Invasion five or less hexes away is granted hexes via least resistance, and then no more after five? The wording is a bit confusing to me as the first sentence highlights what cannot be done, but the second sentence references "hexes gained this way" which seems contradictory to me.

The first time I read it, it sounded like you would gain hexes for invasions more than 5 hexes away via a path of least resistance, but contradictorily it wouldn't increase your influence cloud.

Maybe I am the only one that can get confused over this, but it would be appreciated if it read something more like this:

• Hexes invaded further than five hexes away from a Major faction's borders will not increase a Major Faction's Influence Cloud. Hexes successfully invaded up to five hexes away from a Major Faction's borders will be given in accordance to the path of least resistance to the targeted hex from the closest point of the attacking Major Faction's influence cloud.

Thank you for reading, regardless!

What's hard to understand? If you invade a hex five or less hexes away it's added to your cloud in a line which forms the path of least resistance.

I wasn't here to say I love this. I am now.

I love this. It lets new ideas more easily get tested for viability. I hope you run this every so often.
