  1. Article 6 of the Megacorporate Sports Competition Arc Halfway Through The 2466 BMMSC: The Best Bits So Far The Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition has reached its halfway point, and will now be breaking for holiday celebrations. Here are the best parts so far! Biesellite Triathlon - Defending winner NanoTrasen Corporation beaten by Private Military Contracting Group’s Mahkrik K’Bagniir. On Friday, Mahkrik K’Bagniir cemented himself as a champion in the Biesellite Triathlon event, winning the race for the Private Military Contracting Group and propelling the megacorporation towards their first #1 position, unseating the 2-time defending winner NanoTrasen Corporation. The Biesellite Triathlon is one of the most popular sports of the Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition, encapsulating some of the planet’s most daring hobbies: mountain biking and rock climbing in the planet’s vast mountainscapes, and shooting. This victory for the Private Military Contracting Group was hard-earned for the newcomer megacorporation. ‘We trained extremely hard to win this one; the company is very, very happy – the Kazarrhaldiye Operations Group more so, this I am sure. So well earned for Mahkrik K’Bagniir, all my commendations to them and the coaches,’ said Farashuu Nyamweya to the press on behalf of the Private Military Contracting Group. Figure Skating – Zeng-Hu Pharmaceutical (Mélanie Roquevert)’s shocking Figure Skating jump. On Sunday, the former Idris Incorporated winner of the 2458’s figure skating event, Mélanie Roquevert, won her second 1st place position – this time for Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals – and became the first athlete to perform a hextuple salchow jump during a competition. With under 10 seconds left on the clock and 34.63 points behind Zavodskoi Interstellar’s Adam Honeywell, the Belle Côtan figure skater built up enough momentum to perform a combination of two quadruple flips leading into a powerful hextuple salchow jump, together scoring a 35.28 points and the crowd’s applause for a total of 203.62 points. In a Chirper post before the skating event, Mélanie Roquevert revealed a new pair of cybernetic-integrated ice skates intended for use at the event: After the event, Mélanie Roquevert had this to say, 'With Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, the limits can be pushed and can be broken. I'm excited to see other skaters work up to performing similar hextuple jumps as I have - they are possible now.' Exhibition: Basketball – Flagsdale Hornets play a friendly basketball game against Ports-Ville Petrels. Today, to mark the end of the first half of the Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition, a friendly basketball game was played between the Flagsdale Hornets and Portage Petrels for BMMSC Premium Ticket holders. The vaurca-favourite basketball team is well-known throughout Mendell City and consistently plays well in local competitions; likewise, the Portage Petrels are the #1 local basketball team in Ports-Ville. Having won three back-to-back games, the Portage Petrels confidently went into the friendly match, however a brief injury scare tested the team’s resolve. This did not stop the Portage Petrels leading with 10 points up until the final 3 minutes of the game, where the Flagsdale Hornets stole a win that had fans on the edge of their seats.
  2. Article 5 of the Megacorporate Sports Competition Arc 2466 BMMSC Opening Ceremony: Highlights The 2466 Winter Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition opened in a glamorous Ports-Ville Stadium on Thursday’s evening, hailing the beginning of the sporting event that will last 17 days across 6 sport venues in and around Ports-Ville. At the ceremony, an hour of festivities were followed by a series of speeches from the President of the Megacorporate Athletics Association, the Mayor of Ports-Ville, and the President of the Republic of Biesel. The megacorporate sports teams also made their first assembled appearance at the opening ceremony, completing a parade around the stadium’s track. Each megacorporation’s spokesperson for the Multi-Sports Competition delivered statements to sports fans watching. Here are the highlights of the opening ceremony! Highlight: Ake Torvald declares the beginning of the competition. Highlight: TCAF’s Foreign Legion close festivities with national anthem. Highlight: Ashton singer-songwriter Robin Sutton performs crowd-favourite Time Is Nothing But Honest. Highlight: Highlights from megacorporate sports team statements.

  3. Article 4 of the Megacorporate Sports Competition Arc 2466 BMMSC Opening Ceremony: Ports-Ville’s Streets Turn Orange and Green Excitement has been brewing this past week as the 2466 Winter Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competitions approaches and, with the opening ceremony this evening, the boiling point has been reached. While other cities across Biesel prepare for the Christmas bustle, Eos’ sports fever has taken hold of Ports-Ville’s streets, now roaring with sports fans in the colours of their team who are eager to catch the games and the festivities that will mark the competition’s opening. With Hephaestus Industries’ mass purchase of brownfield in and surrounding Ports-Ville a few years ago to reinvigorate the city’s industry and affordable housing, seas of orange and green are often all that can be seen flowing through the market street. Though no issues have been recorded so far, the Ports-Ville Police Department have issued a statement asking eager sports fans to remain civil and avoid crowding the streets. Hephaestus Industries have yet to post a similarly cautioning message. The opening ceremony will begin at 18:30 Tau Ceti Standard, expected to until 20:45, and can be watched from all major streaming and media outlets. The opening ceremony is being covered by Tau Ceti Times and day-after highlights will be available tomorrow.

  4. Article 3 of the Megacorporate Sports Competition Arc Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition to Welcome President at Opening Ceremony It has been one month since President Åke Torvald first entered office in mid-October, turning a page in the Republic of Biesel’s history. A champion for Biesel’s strong culture, it comes as no surprise for the president to announce on Chirper that he will be speaking at the 2466 Winter Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition’s opening ceremony. 'Excited to speak at the Biesel Megacorporate [Multi-]Sports Competition opening ceremony. I’m happy to share in Eos’ pride for their sporting culture.' - President Åke Torvald on Chirper. This does not come without issues, with the BIS and BSSB's Government Security division diverting extra resources to ensure the safety of the Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition. Zavodskoi Interstellar, who have already won the contract to handle the competition’s on-site security earlier this year, have agreed to work closely with both government agencies for the sporting event. 'Large events in and around Biesel have always posed issues,' said Thulile Esterhuysen, a spokesperson for Zavodskoi Interstellar's security division in Tau Ceti, who also shared, 'We don't expect any interruptions to the competition, absolutely not.'

  5. Article 2 of the Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition Arc Orion Express Athletes Confident Ahead of Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition Confidence is high among Orion Express’ sports team in the lead up to the Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition. Winter swimmer Injila al-Rahbani spoke to the Tau Ceti Times between her busy training schedule this month, telling her grounded story of how she began participating in megacorporate sports with Orion Express. In the light-hearted interview, al-Rahbani expressed confidence shared among other Orion Express athletes. Founded in 2464 to support the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate’s logistics demands, Orion Express is new to Eos' megacorporate sports scene. The megacorporation has proved eager to impress Biesel's sports world, regularly participating in both competitive and friendly sports events with both megacorporate and regional teams. Investments have paid off, with last year seeing a stunning third-place position in the Megacorporate Super League playing soccer, following the shocking transfer of Hephaestus Industries’ star striker Julien Bonn at a surprisingly low negotiated offer.

  8. I don't see harm in a single slot BC trainee role if one was to make it in. I think anymore and the Bridge/command comms could get even more crowded than they sometimes are. 3 BCs already makes it a bit tricky to access certain elements of the role you may have readied up for (only one person can pilot at a time, the others just watch pmuch). BCs making mistakes can genuinely be quite destructive at times (flying into meteors with no shields, as an example) and they aren't protected by the label of 'Intern' or 'Trainee' that actual learner assistant roles are given. This makes handling it ICly difficult/unfair on the player if they are new and OOCly, on the moderation side, can make it tricky to tell whether someone's just new to the role or is just playing recklessly.
  9. Agreed with the proposed changes as an AT player of some time now. ATs have been given a lot of rather engineer-exclusive toys lately, its only fair to give a little back to engineers. I would additionally suggest making the shields equipment access-restricted to engineers only. Shields are a power sink, makes sense an engineer manages that. If anything, this is a gain on an ATs end too, because it means rocky maneuvers with no engineer/shields will result in breaches for an AT to fix. Edit: Maybe lock telecomms equipment too. This one has the capacity to impact rounds a lot more as if comms go down for whatever reason, an AT can't get them up. Telecomms is another ancient series of mechanics, but if modernised it would be a big thing for engineers to have as their own thing.
  10. This is being denied by us loremasters after a discussion with Matt on the maintainer end for a couple of reasons: 1) An entire language for arguably niche uses isn't wanted. 2) The timing of this canonisation app is pretty rough and coincides with the loremasters starting a languages overhaul project. Any language additions are likely to be made redundant or not be in-line with where we want languages to be, so we're not accepting changes to languages rn. It's possible synthlore may draw from this canonisation app if they wish for something similar as part of the language overhaul, if you're okay with that. Otherwise, you can reapply with the same proposal post-language overhaul. Questions can go to me.

  14. I think the gameplay and mechanics should primarily serve the lore and what's on the wiki, but there's some exceptions where you may want to tweak the lore to fit a new mechanic. Even then, the lore gets changed to accomodate these mechanical changes, so ultimately the gameplay still serves the lore. If lore needs to be changed for a cool new mechanic to be added – usually a large mechanic from a dev-ran project, like something on the scale of the BS Drive that's being worked on – then that can be done as long as the lore consequences aren't sweeping. Likewise, fun mechanics (as we saw with the Leviathan and crew armoury) can be removed if they are tonally dissonant with the setting we're in. I skimmed through the Discord discussion that was had and it seemed to cover things on a smaller scale. When it comes to balancing ingame mechanics, then that's probably where lore doesn't play as large of a factor. The game is still a game and fun is the goal, if a true representation of a mechanic was completely unfun to play with/against, then it should be toned down in-game. There's a lot of stuff in-lore that also just won't be mechanically added, but they make for good ingame conversations – see: most of the Entertainment lore, the majority isn't reflected in-game mechanically, but gets reflected in-game through character conversations. I hope that answers the question, it was a pretty broad one.
  15. Louise's XO has been great in the rounds i've played command characters alongside them. She's great at roleplaying both during the quieter rounds and some of the more hectic rounds for Command. She's not hesitant to make decisions that further the story of a round, which is always good - we're hot off a vampire round that segued into a mutiny, where Louise's XO had a pretty large presence furthering the overall story in a number of directions. she did great under the pressure of that round too, which was pretty tricky for command. +1
