SPACEWARS

========================================================
Spacewars is an automated event that starts once each
week, on Sunday at 6:00PM (MUD time). At the start of the
event, an announcement will be made, and players who wish
to participate will have a time period of ten minutes to
join using the Spacewar Join command. Players may also
leave spacewars at any time using the Spacewar Leave
command. After joining, a player is told which ship to
enter, and can double check using the Spacewar Shiplist
command.

After the ten minute time period is over, if fewer than
eight players have joined, the event will be canceled.
If eight or more players have joined, one of the four
following spacewar modes will be selected at random:

Free-For-All: All of the participants hop in their
designated ships and shoot each other out of the sky.
The last pilot remaining is the winner, and receives a
prize of 25 million zeni.

Teams: Players are divided into teams, with pilots of
odd numbered ships fighting against pilots of ships with
even numbers. Survivors from the winning team will each
receive a prize of 5 million zeni.

Teams With a Time Limit: This mode is exactly the same
as Teams, but with a time limit of twenty minutes.
Once again, survivors from the winning team will each
receive a prize of 5 million zeni.

Gauntlet: In this mode, all players unite against the
powerful Battlenova itself, which possesses upgrades
that no player ship can hope to purchase. Due to the
increased difficulty of this mode, players may bring
private ships in as reinforcement. If the players
manage to destroy the Battlenova, double gains will be
activated for an entire hour.

WARNING: Though dying in a spaceship does not cause a
loss of powerlevel, your corpse is vaporized in the blast.
This means that anything in your inventory will be lost
permanently. Equipped items and items inside of equipped
containers will not be lost.
