PILOTS!

Post your name, team, rank, zoid, and modifications! No need to mention your transport, they will not be available.

Starting positions A-D will be rolled for in place of rolling for order after information has been received.

If you need time for zoid/mod purchasing, just let me know.

Cheltsea Grey, Rank C Pilot of the Silver Gryphons, piloting Redux the Kaiser Wolf equipped with Heavy Gatling Cannons modified with Cryoban Shells, the Kinetic Strike Missile, Lunge Thrusters, and the Lightseeker.

Caleb Byrne, still ranked D of the GBU. Piloting a rented Shadow Fox with the Dual Sniper Rifles, Heavy Gatling Cannons, Dual Mini Rail Guns, and Heat Sinks. Other stuff is - well guess the Gustav flew the coop.

KEY

• Total map area: 2km by 2km
• 500 meter markers indicated by the black grid
• Yellow roads: Large roads, all zoids can easily move through these
• White roads/spaces between buildings: Smaller roads, medium-sized zoids can only move down them in one direction, smaller zoids may have less of a problem
• Open areas: If it's grey or open, there's nothing there, it's flat, you are not restricted to travelling by marked roads.
• Blue buildings: height 10m
• Green buildings: height 20m
• Orange buildings: height 30m
• Red buildings: height 40m

Here's how this is going to work, as this is a blind battle: you will have 72 hours from my posts to PM me your move. Once I have everyone's moves, I will write and post the judgment. There will be no maps posted in judgments from here on out - they will be PM'd to individual pilots to account for what you can or cannot see based on the sensors your zoids have. Everyone knows everyone else's starting points, which is why the first map is posted in the thread.

Additional Notes:
To make sure we're all on the same page, here are the ranges and limitations of all the sensor types at play:
Infrared Sensors: Heat tracking, 700m range (even if your zoid's bio does not specify). Readings will appear as an indiscriminate blip. Can track heat signatures through buildings.
Lightseeker: Range limited by line of sight, cannot see through buildings.
Advanced Compound Sensor Unit: Does not provide a highly accurate reading due to the density of the buildings, but will provide a more accurate reading in closer quarters. Edges will be distinct. Range is large enough to cover the entire field.
Multisensor: Grants a crystal-clear reading of everything within a 200 meter radius.

The weather is currently a little cloudy, with some dark rainclouds on the horizon. It is still light out but dusk is approaching just a step behind those clouds.

Feel free to ask me logistical questions at any point, over PM or IM as you please. If you have questions about judgments, I ask you send those via PM.

tl;dr

Ready?

FIGHT!

There’s a lot of movement this round… and none of it that can be seen by more than a single zoid.

Individual judgments and new maps have been PM’d to each pilot.

You may contact me over PM or IM with questions.

Continue – please send me your next move within 72 hours or let me know before then if you need an extension.

(As always, thank you for your patience.)

The battle continues to go quietly as the pilots work their way deeper into the city – it’s hard to say who is setting up an ambush and who is walking into one with most pilots still blind to the other competitors.

Towards the end of the round, a single shot rings out in the north. Even then, only one pilot knows for sure if it’s the first hit of the match or the first miss.

Individual judgments and new maps have been PM’d to each pilot.

You may contact me over PM or IM with questions.

Continue – please send me your next move within 72 hours or let me know before then if you need an extension.

The battle continues. There’s a slight, barely audible thud to the north – too soft to be a bullet.

Other than that, all is quiet. Another round of maneuvering or ambushes waiting to happen… who knows!

Thanks for your patience, pilots.

I haven't forgotten y'all, promise -- Venus is out of town and has been granted an extension.

Hey guys. I'm really sorry about all the delays in this. I'm going to go ahead and null this battle since it's clear I have failed to keep up with it. My apologies. You can each take 5k and an IOU for the trouble.
