Nday guide dispatch


JELLYFISH ELITE FIGHTING FORCE N-DAY FIELD GUIDE

“We will fight ‘em until hell freezes over, then we will fIght ‘em on the ice!”

1)First things first, take the time to familiarize yourself with the basics of N-day. Luckily Testlandia already has created a solid overview of these basic things that I will link below and is also available in the "news" tab to your left (on desktop). Additionally starting in Nday 10 going forward here are some changes

page=dispatch/id=874170

page=dispatch/id=1996195

  1. Player should organize their own nations in groups of specialty. (Military Specialists & Intel Specialist =create nukes, Strategic Specialists = create shields, Economic Specialist* = Hoard production for mass assault/defense) *Players with small nation count should make nukes or shields with economic specialist

  2. Player should make sure that they have their 1 and only 1 WA nation either as a military or strategic specialist (preferably anyway, if a player is WA locked and can't change their WA then it is what it is)

  3. Orders will be given to discord and faction page in xx(last 2 digits of time) such as xx15, xx30 or xx35. xx denoting whichever hour it is for you and the numbers denoting the rest of the launch time. Friendly reminder if you're in a time zone that does not meet on the hour with most of the world (IE New Delhi would be xx30 when most of the rest of the world is xx00) then conversion is up to you to remember.

  4. When logging off to sleep convert all production to Shields and donate to the shield bank

  5. List of color codes and instructions are as follows-

    • Code White - Only Build Shields & don’t engage in combat

    • Code Green - Build Shields or Nukes & Attack requested targets

    • Code Red - Abandon the faction

    • Code Black - We dead

2)Now that you are familiar with the basics, we can begin breaking down the factions' designated strategy. We will mostly communicate on codes, both within the faction discord and on the faction page for those without a discord. Please note if you are following the latter to check it often. Things can change in an instant.

3)

-Military Specialist & Intel Specialist-The bread and butter of the offense. Military specialists spend much less production on nukes and should also focus on building them. Intel while doesn't have the same production benefits are relatively useless in the missile swarm strategy the faction employs so need to be included somewhere. Feel free to move them into your strategic specialist should you feel you're running low.

-Strategic Specialist-The Military Specialist counterpart, these nations specialize in producing shields and should spend their production doing just that. Additionally, they should be using all available shields to intercept incoming nuked

*Try to make sure your 1 WA nation is either a Military or Strategic Specialist if you can. If you are WA locked, then it is what it is

-Economic Specialist(Optional*)-Economic Specialists create production very quickly and also have a much higher production cap allowing for them to become an excellent reserve nation in an event where we need a large amount of nukes or shields in a short amount of time. If reserving these nations within the faction, leave them be unless otherwise told.

However, if these nations reach max production capacity, go ahead and convert it all into shields unless specified otherwise

*These nations can also move into Military or Strategic Specialist groupings if you are either running low on available nations or don't have many nations to begin with.

-Non-faction reserved nations(Optional)-These types of nations should be reserved for people with a large amount of puppets. Essentially if you have too many nations to manage at once you can keep a 2nd set of nations away from the conflict (albeit also not creating production) in case of an emergency. Not recommended for players with less than 50 nations at minimum

Players may organize how they choose however we recommend everyone use NS++ it truly makes everything easier. As such the link to NS++ in the chrome store is linked Linkhere

(or ask a high command member for ANALs script if you have a larger puppet army)

4)Now that our nations are organized, here are our 4 different codes

For the first ONE hour of the event all nations should prioritize the building of shields. The Mega factions should be focused on each other like last year so it should give us about an hour to just build up a solid base of shields for the rest of the event. It probably won't make it to then but every bit will help ease the pressure

Standard code for what is hopefully all of N-Day. However realistically not..

While under Green each player is responsible (while online and active) for converting their production into nukes and shields in their designated nations first and foremost

Near the top of each hour (or until enough nukes are amassed to destroy the designated enemy faction in one go) High Command will relay a target faction to the discord and faction screen. This is when Military Specialists should go ahead and target nations of the enemy faction and prepare to fire. DO NOT FIRE NUKES UNLESS IT IS AT THE TARGET FACTION (duh) and DO NOT FIRE BEFORE THE FIRE ORDER. The goal is to wipe out a faction in a single go to prevent a counter-attack. Constant barrages turn into a battle of attrition and will only weaken us long term.

While this is happening Strategic Specialists should be on high alert for any incoming nukes as the enemy faction is likely to retaliate.

Times will be posted like this

High command will give the order to target and fire as the times happen, sometimes this means the faction page will be behind due to the chaos of warfare (Sorry!). So best practice is to pay attention to when the rest of the faction is targeting and firing en masse

Let’s hope we never use this code.

However in the event our faction becomes the target of a faction we have no hope of competing with here is the game plan.

If High Command issues a code red, all players should retreat from the faction immediately. This is to preserve as much score as possible. Additionally if a player leaves during code Green it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED he/she/they pull all their nations out of the faction in case of code red. However this is not mandatory if said player is unable.

We will wait out the enemy barrage and High Command will eventually communicate a time to return. In the meantime I am sure we will be laughing and having fun in the discord. Feel free to join us :)

We died. Sorry! If you wish to participate further feel free to join a different faction. Give ‘em hell!

Our discord may remain active depending on if we would rather celebrate or sleep lol

5)Finally when logging off for the night, convert all production possible to shields and donate to the faction wide shield bank. Thank you!

Nukes awayyyy!

Well the Anime mafia look to have taken charge this year. You guys have about 10 mins to make 2nd. Good luck!

The F1 season has kicked off, with the Bahrain event running a day earlier than customary to accomodate Ramadan.

Until we get racing it is hard make good predictions, but the consensus view from the off-season is that Red Bull will start well ahead again.

Free pratice 1 is a particularly un-representative session in Bahrain, due to the temperature variation from the night-time race conditions. For what it is worth Ricciardio recorded the top time in the session, followed by the two McLaren drivers.

EDIT: FP2 was strange. It is possible Red Bull are playing mind games, but here's how the session finished.
1. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - 1:30.374
2. George Russell (Mercedes) +0.206
3. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) +0.286
4. Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) +0.395
5. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) +0.410
6. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) +0.477
7. Nico Hulkenberg (Haas) +0.510
8. Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) +0.517
9. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) +0.739
10. Sergio Perez (Red Bull) +0.741

We have one more practice session tomorrow, then qualifying will give us a much better idea of where we stand.

EDIT 2:
Well normal service has been resumed, and the flying dutchman is back in front.
1. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
2. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
3. George Russell (Mercedes)
4. Carlos Sainz (Ferrari)
5. Sergio Perez (Red Bull)
6. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)
7. Lando Norris (McLaren)
8. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)
9. Lewis Hamilton
10. Nico Hulkenberg (Haas)
11. Yuki Tsunoda (RB)
12. Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)
13. Alex Albon (Williams)
14. Daniel Ricciardo (RB)
15. Kevin Magnussen (Haas)
16. Valtteri Bottas (Sauber)
17. Zhou Guanyu (Sauber)
18. Logan Sargeant (Williams)
19. Esteban Ocon (Alpine)
20. Pierre Gasly (Alpine)

A great drive from Hulkenberg, a bad day for Alpine. Sainz has been strong here, so may well be challnging for a podium slot tomorrow.

February targert achieved - Almonaster Nuevo is now the largest economy in Canada, although SLAM-ER could still stage a come-back.

I missed the race :( , but here are the results.
1 Verstappen (Red Bull) 25+1
2 Perez (Red Bull) 18
3 Sainz (Ferrari) 15
4 Leclerc (Ferrari) 12
5 Russell (Mercedes) 10
6 Norris (McLaren) 8
7 Hamilton (Mercedes) 6
8 Piastri (McLaren) 4
9 Alonso (Aston Martin) 2
10 Stroll (Aston Martin) 1
11 Guanyu (Sauber)
12 Magnussen (Haas)
13 Ricciardo (RB)
14 Tsunoda (RB)
15 Albon (Williams)
16 Hulkenberg (Haas)
17 Ocon (Alpine)
18 Gasly (Alpine)
19 Bottas (Sauber)
20 Sargeant (Williams)

The Red Ensign just looks so crisp! Look at it in all its wonder! It's why Stormaen's 'real life' flag would be a Red Ensign.

Meh, I get what you're saying but I'm not a huge fan. In this case it's also far too similar to Manitoba.

Well, tomorrow's Saudi GP looks like another episode of "Challenge Max". Here's how they will line up:
1. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) - 1:27.427
2. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
3. Sergio Perez (Red Bull)
4. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)
5. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)
6. Lando Norris (McLaren)
7. George Russell (Mercedes)
8. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
9. Yuki Tsunoda (RB)
10. Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)

Carlos Sainz will miss the race, due to appendicitis. He is reportedly through surgery and doing well. Oliver Bearman is filling in, and managed to make p11 after only having 1 session to learn the car. Yuki Tsunoda also did well to get into the top 10. Alpine's woes continue - they qualified 17th and 18th.

Update from Forest

Zerphen has been elected as our new Forest Keeper!

Hello Canada!

Our Culture and Events Minister, The Realizer has started an official Forest Trivia competition! Residents of Forest, and embassy regions are allowed to participate. Here is the RMB post: page=rmb/postid=55326521

Make sure to read the rules :)

.

Forest Trivia Rules

.
.
.

.


Trivia Rules

The questions will be released every Saturday

These questions will be in the style of the popular quiz show, Only Connect

I shall post the dispatch with the questions in on the RMB

From that point onwards everyone, residents of forest or embassy regions, has One Week to answer the questions

Answers Must be submitted by Telegram

Only Telegram submissions will be accepted. Any answers posted on the RMB will be suppressed.

ABSOLUTELY NO GOOGLING OF ANSWERS IS ALLOWED if you are suspected of googling, a point will be deducted. Repeat offenders will have more severe sanctions

ABSOLUTELY NO USAGE OF AI IS ALLOWED if you are suspected of using AI, a point will be deducted. Repeat offenders will have more severe sanctions


Results

After the week has concluded, I shall release the answers to the previous week's questions in the same dispatch.

There will also be explanations as to how you could have reached the answers, in case anyone is interested

Alongside this, there shall be a two leaderboards compiled. One weekly leaderboard and one overall leaderboard.


Prizes!

The person(s) who get the most correct answers each week will share the "prize pot" equally which shall be equal to 20.00 DV

At the end of each month, the person at the top of the overall leaderboard shall receive a legendary!

The person who is at the top of the overall leaderboard at the end of the term, shall receive a grand prize of 5 legendaries!


Helpful Tips

If you don't know the answer, just have a guess! There's no harm in having an educated guess, you might just be right!

Watch out for a word question! If the clues seem so random that you just can't find a connection, it could be that it's a word question! The words themselves could be the connection!

If you aren't sure about the answer to the question, when you're submitting them, try to explain your thinking to me! If your thinking is correct but you don't quite get the answer, you'll get half of a point. They all count in the long run!

Take your time! There's no rush... You have a week to answer the questions so you have plenty of time to think and trivialise!

And most importantly...

Have fun!
