1. ASF/CSF contest is held during the last full calendar week of each month ; both RP types run concurrently (faction & open RP) .
2. All server clans are eligible for the ASF/CSF, and are expected to participate as much as possible. Only server clan members and qualified freelancers may mount ASF or CSF licenses for the server RP. Freelancers who have logged at least 100 hours on the CF server may register for ASF/CSF licensing on the ASF/CSF forums.
3. ALL licensed ships are fair game (open to attack) anywhere in the contested systems, at any time during the event week. Licenses must remain mounted for the entire event week, or the scoring system will lose accuracy.
4. Players may dock, but not “camp”, their characters in enemy territory. There will be occasions when a player cannot return to friendly space during their online session, such as unexpected server restarts, but as a rule, players are not allowed to leave ships in enemy territory. No ship left behind enemy lines will be allowed to initiate an attack until it returns to its own faction’s space and dock there, but may defend itself en route to home systems. Players may not dock in a system declared by the opposite faction to be the chosen system to be defended in a given battle, but must attack that system from an adjacent system.
5. Raids may be carried out against any contested system, provided the invaders survive long enough to reach it (combat can occur en route to a target system, as well). Players may use any scheme they choose to create a pretext for combat, and just play it out.
6. Faction members are required to at least attempt a defense of a system invaded by the enemy, and engage irrespective of the odds against them. Defenders have the perogative to call for reinforcements prior to making a defense, and if the defenders are still outmatched in skill or numbers, they may abort the defense once they are outscored 5 kills by the attackers. Once a defense has been aborted, the defending players may not be attacked again in the same system for at least 1 hour during which time the vanquished defenders must leave the system.
7. Kills will be scored by the “AutoReferee”, the new RP stat tool. This will sort PvP kills in each contested system by faction licences, and report these stats daily. The daily results will enable factions to plan attacks and bolster defences.
8. The AutoReferee will tally the kills, and determine the winner of each system once per week; system control to be decided by a 5-kill margin over the opposing faction. The 1-week period required to capture a system allows for more coordinated actions, and for players in all time zones to make a contribution to the battle over each system. All system wins and losses will be posted together; for example, ASF may win 4 systems and CSF 3 different systems in the same week.
9. The revised political map gives each faction control of 23 systems. When one faction captures 15 of these systems (67%) , it is declared the winner of the campaign, and the map is reset. A running campaign score will be kept on the roleplay board, like a sports rivalry. (The victory margin in the last rule was adjusted, because no faction has ever won enough systems to have a clear victory to date.)

Now over a month ago Michael informed us about a CSF campaign that was supposed to occur today in Texas (or Sigma-13), 17th March. We organized our forces and worked on plans for over a month on the ASF board; we were all set to go.
I logged in about an hour ago only to see utter bullshit going on in Texas and found out that it was merely DSC vs PX fighting. I was informed that 2 PX didn't have CSF licences but that is not the problem. The problem is that this was a complete fucking organized failure, not only from the CSF side but also from our side.
First of all Dark_Raven told me that he absolutely had no clue about any ASF/CSF event going on today. Secondly, it was SHS who informed Michael about this campagin and apparently Daywalker aswell? But that's not true either (apparently). SHS doesn't even have any significant rank in CSF and to be fair I was actually quite surprised that he (maybe YOU should address this matter instead of lurking on this Portal) was actually behind a CSF event. From the beginning I was unsure where the hell that information was coming from and apparently SHS and PX were to inform Michael (?) via PM about invasion. What the fuck?
THIS is why ASF vs. CSF doesn't work. Because of bullshit rumors, butthurt people who don't want to play for A COUPLE OF HOURS nicely and merely adhere to what the majority actually wants. WE WANT ASF vs. CSF!
And ASF vs. CSF takes precedence OVER ALL YOUR BULLSHIT, SO PLAY ALONG. START ORGANIZING YOUR SHIT PROPERLY AND STOP SPREADING RUMORS. MISCOMUNICATION LEAD US TO THIS ABOSLUTE BULLSHIT OF AN "EVENT".
Now, Rhone is getting a dozen of CSF licences as I speak. @PX you are the pillar of CSF and I will take care of handing out CSF licences; but I need co-operation and I need you to start organizing something.
PM me or message me in game for the licences
Edit: Rhone is going to Alaska to hand out 15 CSF licences to |PX|Proto
I just would have played the freaking game like its supposed to be and not every time quarrel about rules and whatnot regulations you want to have to cover every eventuallity. But what i am talking. Its the server clans who decide mainly how this event is running!
