Hello everypony, cat-bird, horse-fish, carbon-canine, etc... Celestial Divide is introducing a new mini-game for you all. There will be prizes, such as experience and trinkets for your in-game characters, and should enough people participate, even greater prizes to be won! The game is called Armada, and is based off of the game Battleship except with a few twists. An admin, such as myself, will be coordinating the game while you, the players try and blow up the other's airship. All you'll need is access to mspaint or any program of your choice to keep track of your units and your calls on the provided 10x10jpg graph. The admin will also be keeping track to ensure everything is fair. And like in Battleship, each player with have five ships of varying sizes to arrange on the grid: Fleet Flagship: 5 Ship of the Line: 4 Corvette: 3 Frigate: 3 Gunboat: 2 Now for the twist. In Armada, a player will secretly choose one of the six griffon fleets before the start of the game (the seventh is admin only for the final), each with a unique ability. Only the admin will know who has what fleet and when they use the special ability (though some abilities will tell the opponent which fleet they are using). 1st Fleet: Once per game, player may cause an additional point of damage to enemy ship on a successful hit. 2nd Fleet: Once per game, player may 'ping' enemy map for 2 spaces in four directions “+” 3rd Fleet: Has one additional 3-point ghost ship that when struck, disappears. 4th Fleet: Once per game, player may recover one point of damage to any ship. 5th Fleet: Once per game, a successful strike allows player to see the entire struck ship. 6th Fleet: Once per game, player may fire twice. Those interested in the game, and we hope to see everyone at least try it, you can sign up here and once we have a few involved, we will begin the first game. We hope to make the games fairly quick and so we'll be playing over Mibbit so the admin can quickly communicate with both sides privately and the players can communicate directly. Also, attached is the game grid. Each player will need two copies per game, one for their ships and enemy strikes and one for their strikes against the opponent. Any other questions, concerns, please feel free to ask away!

Also, allow me to amended the way the game will be played, it will not be played on mibbit, instead only through the OOC board. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.

The game, at this point, will just affect the character of your choosing with either an awarded trinket or, if you win more often, an experience skill "point" added. Since I'm a little under the weather today and to give you all time, I plan to start with Lucent and Glide Heart on Friday. You'll be my two testers! If there is your local time that works best for the both of you, please inform me. Thank you.

Yup, of course, Selenia. The game remains open for any and all.
The first game is currently underway, all those involved. Please check the OOC board.

Since we're having it on the board, I don't see the problem in having multiple games going on at the same time, make it happen Stygg

Alrighty, Dusk and Kelp are up next. Please send me a PM with your fleet choice and a grid of your ship layouts, then we will begin.
Selenia, you'll either battle one of the losers of this current round or if someone else joins up, you'll be put against them.
