Welcome to the 2022 Christmas Chaos Extravagasm!

Things work a bit differently this time of year. The round will be much more hands on (from the admin side) than usual, there will be "quests", events, raids, random things that might not make a whole lot of sense but were TOTALLY on purpose, unusual modifiers, gambling, and plenty more.

While chaos is fun (for me at least) it wouldn't be fair to not explain at least some of the changes, so here ya go:

Bonuses

Daily rewards

Money reward
Random chance to give 3x, 6x, 12x, or 0 ticks of income. Rolling a 0x also wipes out any gold (g) on hand.

Multiplier Chance
3x 38.5%
6x 30.8%
12x 23.1%
0x 7.7%

Probe reward
3 Probe attempts + Instant recall of all WLs and troops

Land reward
2% of top land in the universe + tick * 20 soldiers

Sector bonuses

Sectors 3-7 give bonuses while you're in the sector. Everyone gets one free switch, after that you can only switch sectors after changing you kingdom state.

Sector 3: +15% attack
Sector 4: +10% defense
Sector 5: +10% income
Sector 6: +10% research efficiency and + 10% probe production
Sector 7: + 10% probe production

Speaking of kingdom states...

Kingdom state bonus

In addition to unlocking a sector switch, changing your states gives you 5 ticks of income and scientists * 2 points allocated to your warp drive research.

War
  • Defensive losses vary depending on size difference between the attacker and defender.
    • 5% - The defender has less than half the land of the attacker
    • 6-8% - The defender has more than half the land of the attacker. Max shields = 6%, no shields = 8%

This only applies in war. Outside of war, defensive losses are always 5%

Planet types

Events

Event #1 - Gotta catch em all!

We're kicking off with the return Pokemon! You have 48 hours to catch (successfully attack) as many unique Pokémon as you can. Once you believe you have caught all 20 ( or are just done) DM @Lomo in discord or send a message to Benevolent God in 1:2. I will issue rewards after verification.

Event #2 - Team rocket blowin up

Seems like the team rocket gang are pissed that you took all their pokeman! Time to fight! Everyone will be split into 3 sectors and there will be a raid boss in each. Race to kill your sector's raid boss and message Benevolent God 1:2 or DM Lomo in discord as soon as your target is dead. Prizes will be based on the time stamp of the message, so don't assume you're done as soon as your target is dead.

Targets will spawn on Tuesday, December 20th at 9:00am NKT.

Prizes are:

  • Catch all 20: 300,000g, 3,000 probes
  • Catch 15-19: 300,000g, 2,000 probes
  • Catch 10-14: 100,000g, 1,000 probes
Event #3 - The purge
Event #4 - ZxBiohazardZx

In the reletive peace a young warlord by the name of ZxBiohazardZx has emerged as the first to try and fill the power vacuum using his philosophy of a the best offense is a good defense, and the best defense is more defense.

The universe must work together to take him out before he grows too strong. Participants will be rewarded with 3,000 Dragoons and 10,000 points to each research for each grab they make.

Christmas giveaway

Merry Christmas to all! Time for some gifts! Rather than be all judgy like Santa looking back and deciding if you've been naughty or nice, I'll let you decide if you want to be naughty or nice in the now (and somewhat future).

You can choose to be nice and pick two:

  • 5mil cash
  • 20k probes
  • 500k research points
  • 1,000 land

OR

You can choose to be naughty and pick one gift for a player of your choosing:

  • Cut their probes in half (limited to one use total)
  • Block all rewards for a day
  • delete their missiles
Boxing Day Bounty Bash

Even though Christmas has come and gone, lets keep the spirit of giving and sharing going! Today, we'll make sure everyone gets to share in the joy of getting attacked. I'll split everyone into two teams and each kingdom will have a bounty based on their NW rank within their sector.

The game ends after 24 hours or once one team has broken all opponents 3x and notified me - which ever comes first. Whoever has the most points when the game ends wins.

  • Points will be allocated based on the bounty board below.
  • Sector ranks will be taken before the event starts and will not change. I will provide a list of the opponents and their point value to each team
  • Each kingdom can only be broken three times
  • Failed attacks are worth 2 points
  • 1 point for each aggressive PA used against the opposing sector (this includes sabos, kidnaps, arsons)

Any additional hit after 3 successful breaks is negative 5 points

Failed probe attempts must have sent at least 4x the target's land to count
