Start, Duration and Finish
The EMC
frame starts every Sunday at 21:00 Central European Time, which
equals 20.00 UK Local time , which equals 3:00 PM Eastern Time in
the US. Exceptions to this will be posted ahead of time.
Arenas
The EMC will be held in the
appropriate Special Event arenas.
Scoring
At the end of the frame,
aircraft losses per type will be tallied. Heavy losses may impact
on the availability of that aircraft type in subsequent frames
within the same EMC.
Crashes, bails, explosions and collisions
will result in the loss of an aircraft.
Destroyed targets will be tallied at the end
of the frame, and may result in the frontline being moved for the
next frame within the same EMC. Closed airfields may result in
partial or total loss of launching capabilities for that airfield
in subsequent frames within the same EMC.
Field Capture
Airfields can not be
captured directly during a frame. Instead, if all relevant targets
have been taken out, the CMs will disable the field, fully or
partially, or give the field to the enemy for full or partial
operations during the next frame. Specific details on the
requirements for field capture will be given in the Intelligence
briefings for each upcoming frame.
Lives
The number of lives is
dependent on the type of campaign. Currently, each pilot has 1
life to use per hour. The deathcount is reset for all (regardless
whether you died or not) at the top of the hour (T+60). You cannot
"save" your unspent lives. Crashing, ditching,
exploding, bailing, colliding and disconnecting with a damaged
aircraft will result in the loss of this life.
HOST settings
Icon settings are
abridged from Main Arena settings:
dots at 10
000 yards - d100
-
friendly names at 3000
yards - d30
-
enemy plane types at
2000 yards - d20
-
range counters at 900 yards - d9
Killshooter is generally OFF, meaning that
bullets hit enemy and friendly alike. Abuse of this is not
tolerated and will result in the offender being removed from
flight. Protected Structures is generally on, making it impossible
to damage friendly targets.
Sideswitching
For obvious reasons
sideswitching is frowned upon. For this reason, sideswitching will
only be possible once per 60 minutes per pilot. This means that
you can enter the arena, realize that you are in the wrong country
and switch countries. It will not be possible to enter the arena,
switch to the opposing country and spy for a few minutes and then
switch countries again.
CM Presence
A CM - the guy with
the blue voice - will be present to start the frame and to answer
any questions, and to end the frame. A CM is always present during
the actual frame.
The CM will do side-balancing if the numbers
are too far off for the event to be fun.
The CM's ruling is final. The frame can be a
hectic period of time, and emotions may run high. The CM will
always strive to make as impartial and fair decisions as possible,
to the best of his ability. Please respect this. If you have
opinions on how the frame was run, please contact the CM after the
event, preferrably via e-mail. The CM will most likely not have
time to get into discussions during the actual frame.
