Greetings everyone,

The War has started! Dark Jedi, Imperial Soldiers, Rebels, all join the battlefield for an epic confrontation over 13 systems. Indeed the Outer Rim War 3 has commenced and the very first event was a great weekend for gaming. Over 60 people showed up from almost every club eligible to join. You already know who came out victorious, congratulations to us for coming out first, and our faction for obtaining a planet. Here are some statistics…

Statistics:

• 60+ players

• 28 DB players

• 9 GE players

• 11 RS players

• 2 VE players

• 4 ELS players

• 6 NR5F players

• ~200 matches overall

I am pleased with the DB turnout, and confident we can take on the next event and win more systems for our faction. If you're still not sure about the rules about ORW, a wiki can be found here: http://wiki.rebelsquadrons.org/Outer_Rim_War_III and you may want to use the ORW bot a bit more in the channel. Doing !rules will display a short summary of the system we enforce. Furthermore, doing !moderators will show who you can go to for any kind of question you may have about the event. !factions will show each faction and the clubs assigned to it. And of course, please use the bot for every and all gaming, simply by doing !signup "game" 1v1 / 2v2 / 3v3 / 4v4. It's simple and fast, and better for us moderators to keep an eye out for what's going on.

Well that's about it, join #outerrim Saturday 9 AM EST / 2 PM GMT and prepare for some top-class gaming!
