greetings and salutations everybody sorry it has been so long since SAGE VII until now but this whole covid thing and some IRL stuff kept me from hosting it sooner. once again sponsored by BIG industries , Arkadian smugglers plus the avatars realdad realdad realdad ,scott angryape scott, and kira red star-rigger. coming in september 27th at 16:00 MA time the largest swunt i have seen in game will be hitting fire crystal once again but this time smuggler mechs and oratan spawns at firebase are 100% happening. there will be some small changes from previous SAGE events so here is the itinerary broken down into time frames. 16:00 BIG industries will be gathereing people from caly @ boreas with normandie and if needed varyag, RT @ club neverdie with PF IV and NI @ crystal peak with PF XI and warping you to arkadia 16:30 AUTHORIZED team leaders will distribute 5 ped of ammo and a free herman ark-0 at fire crystal in the underground to everyone who attends. 16:45-18:45 healing will be provided by AUTHORIZED team leaders and everybody swunts the wambana (my favorite part) 18:30 AUTHORIZED team leaders will then gather up to 3k of sweat from each player at a premium rate of 2.5/k 18:45 finally for the hunting portion we will follow ned who will be spawning smuggler mobs oratans and maybe more (we got some unique first time in game mobs last time.) now to answer a few questions i know i will be getting asked 1. please do not just show up and make a team i will not give u anything and neither will the BIG representative. 2. no there is no warps back to rocktropia and calypso offered this time i want you to stay in the underground and keep boosting the AUD payouts however kira is considering a return trip to NI so that is a definite maybe lol. 3.yes there will be some official assistance in getting down to the planet but if at all possible please arrange for this on your own. 4. yes i know some people will exploit this event just to get free gear and/or free warps then not participate and while this is disappointing and not what i am trying to do just because some people are jerks does not mean i shouldn't be who i am and pay for a massive super fun party 5. if you have been identified as exploiting a previous event or are on my personal ignore list or banned from BIG events you are not welcome at SAGE VIII either.
well folks the killing has just about ended at main UG teleporter. we had about 250 at the swunt a dozen or so that just helped in space and 50ish that only showed up to kill stuff. we had confusion about warps we had some issues handing out the guns the sweat buying was a big challenge and the hunting portion was barely saved from disaster but at every turn there was experienced friendly leadership confronting and overcoming all obstacles. 75% of what happened today was out of my control and that was due to my structure and preparation being overwhelmed by the insanely huge attendance. in short thank you so much to everyone else that stepped up and made this the success it was. tiger managed to get everyone down from the station without a single complaint something i could never seem to achieve. ruben invented a additional layer of protection for the sweat buying that ensured no one was left out. T79x was the hero i didn't even hire that got the assault on the underground up and running after i failed. tiger disi yoshii and kira knocked the transportation out of the park under difficult and confusing circumstances. this was a mess that barely held together and only thanks to these kind and generous people but i learned alot and with my team we will make the next one even bigger better and smoother running. ty so much to my sponsors BIG industries, yoshii, kira, realdad, angryape and the no longer existent ned. apologies to JBK and ty for being understanding. cant wait for SAGE IX but i have too because this is expensive lol.
