HMW: The Campaign for Cybertron
A new way to fight the Heavy Metal War
Special Event: The Battle of the Legends!
15 years and going strong!
Well, here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for...
I can make gin disappear. What’s your superpower?Happy Birthday Heavy Metal War!!Welcome HMWarriors, to another huge battle here on Seibertron.com!
Zombi Cheerleader here again and it's time to tell you what the hell is going on...
For fifteen years HMW has raged across Cybertron (and its host, Seibertron.com)
This war has had its ups and downs, it’s highs and its lows, its champions and its losers, and has had a whole load of programmers come and go along the way, but it is still raging on and our profits are still rolling in.
Here at WarPorn Industries, we have gone to great lengths over much of this time to bring you entertainment and adventure wherever we can. This began back when organised the first ever alt hunt, and now our partnership with Sustain and her Amalgamated Pretence has led all us the way to fighting a Campaign across Cybertron, where we have fought sharkticons, battled Darth Vader, captured enemy commanders and scavenged for new weapons.
Unfortunately though, this campaign has not been going so well for the Autobots, with the Decepticons now controlling half of Cybertron.
Wait, this is NOT good! WarPorn are in the war profiteering industry, it’s bad for us if the Autobots are actually defeated!
So to balance things, here is the deal:
We are going to WAR.
None of this hunting nonsense.
No targets to achieve or stats for you to have to track.
Just an all out out battle in selected missions.
The rules of this war are so simple, even a Sharkticon could understand them...The War Starts TODAY! 6PM (GMT+1) and runs for a week.
See?- All levels count.
- ONLY missions ending with the number FIVE or ZERO will count.
- These missions must have at least 3 warriors from BOTH factions to count towards the war (tag teams wont be counted).
- The winning team is the one that wins the most 5 or 0 missions.
- There will be awards and prizes for various things throughout, including highest kills, sportsmanship, and a special 'Senators award' for those encouraging forum participation, decided by the Senate once we are done. Keep watching the forum for details.
- (To qualify for the awards/prizes, you must post at least once in this thread so we know you are active on the forums.)
There is, as always, a twist however... We intercepted this transmission into Iacon from a *ahem* unknown source this morning.Autobots, listen up. We need to balance the books here.
This is your chance to win a massive victory. The con’s heavily outnumber you and are better organised, but you have one thing in your favour - Cybertron above all else desires peace, therefore she will directly aid you. She has left 5 shards of the Matrix out there for you to find, each one will give your faction an advantage as the defenders of Cybertron, so fight to defend your home and she will lead you to them....
To begin with we give you this, the first of the 5, the shard of Courage.
This will lead you to the other shards, and grant you your first advantage: If a legal (5 or 0) mission does not have enough Decepticons in it, but does have the 3 required Autobots present, that mission (if a victory) will still count for the bots.
The Decepticons will gain no such advantage.
This advantage may not last long, so make the best of it whilst you can or just hope you can find the next one quickly...
This war will be organised by a team of commanders including my boss, Psychout, and our fellow Senate members; Burn, Wingz and Sustain, and Redimus, who is here on work experience
I'll be bringing you updates as the tourney rolls on, but until then, I'll leave you in the capable hands of Sustain...
Goodnight!!!
