Nymphtown

The team assembled at Nyphtown and calculated inventories. After a short pause for team photots, Taz lead us to the beacon location.

After another short pause for more team photos and some relogs, the beacon was passed to Kate for activation. The team made it to the robot mothership without incident.


[edit]

The Beacon Run

The main bots consisted of mid-level drones. Half way boss was Drone Communicator only, there were no troopers or Warlocks.

There was one minor incident at the second level when a handful of over excited team members went off prematurely ;) This is something we need to be careful of, soc chat gets very confusing with 12ppl chatting on it. Aside from that, the bot killing phase ran smoothly. With a full team of 12 there were plenty of looters to assign to the various levels.


[edit]

Loot

Loot was average. 100% of boxes were opened and a record number of us made it to the shuttle. Only 4 or 5 out of the 12 of us did not survive.

The mission was considered to be a success.

After the mission, team members were asked to donate whatever they could afford (up to 20 PED) to Taz to go towards the next beacon.

[edit]

Beacon Funding

Since the individual loot distributions tend to range from about 2 PED up to 40 PED it seems unfair to ask everybody for 20 ped towards the next beacon regardless of how much loot they got. Therefor I have decided that at the next beacon, the beacon markup value will be taken from gross loot prior to distribution and handed to an officer (usually Taz) for the purpose of purchasing the next beacon. This will have 2 main effects:

  • Donations to next beacon will be proportionate to share of loot
  • Loot will be distributed mostly by proportion to decay, with less chance of the 50% profit rule being used.
