Chapter 326

Chapter 326. The era is now the mini-event era.

Anyway, those who cross the line like that get beaten up mercilessly…

We’ve established a flexible operating system that doesn’t hold onto those who leave or block those who come.

‘This is it.’

With Avalon and Barracuda combined, nearly a thousand users have crowded in like open sect followers, living together.

Because of this, in the gallery and chat rooms, I ended up with a bizarre nickname like “Open Big Boss” (?)… but whatever.

From the beginning, giving weird nicknames to people like me with armbands in the gallery wasn’t a new thing.

In severe cases, some would get a full 15-day block the moment they were seen.

Being called the “Open Ark”… no, the “Big Boss” was still considered top-tier.

Title: Why do armbands have so many nicknames?

There are dozens of nicknames just for calling one guy, making it super annoying to search.

How the hell do “One-Man Army” and “Open Ark” refer to the same person, you idiots?

-[3rd place is talking, that guy always had a lot of nicknames]

-˪[It’s not just 3rd place, all armbands are like that. Some have nicknames like humanist, bully, and all sorts of stuff attached.] (Author)

-[LOL]

-[But why were you trying to search anyway?]

-˪[Just because their bickering was getting on my nerves?] (Author)

-˪[???]

-˪[Damn, it was just a troll.]

…Anyway, things like that happened.

But let’s get back to the main topic. Seriously, only in the first week did incidents and accidents keep popping off.

After a week, things stabilized faster than expected.

Well, there are several reasons for that…

The most important one is that most of the users gathered here don’t have the “power” to cause trouble.

Besides, I’m really serious about managing and supervising, and there are users who act as points of contact for the four mega-clans, so they’re also keeping an eye out.

Fundamentally, the reason users can’t go wild saying, “This is now Chester City territory!” is because they simply don’t have the strength to do so.

…Even if they did, would they really try to stage a coup against me, who can mobilize fleets from two bases now?

Hmm…

Title: By the way, why isn’t there a rebellion in Avalon and Barracuda?

With this many people, isn’t it enough to give it a shot?

LOLOLOL

Comments:

-[Armband guy, this dude’s inciting rebellion.]

-[Rebellion (immediately followed by a fun chat with a fleet of 70,000 ships, including 525 battleships)]

-[Coup (two Krakens chew up the base like snacks)]

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[They went there because they don’t have fleets, so where would they get the power to rebel? LOLOLOLOL]

-[Even if superhumans wanted to go wild, the fleet would just bombard the base from a distance, and that’s it. LOLOLOL]

Title: The fact that the guys inciting rebellion in Avalon and Barracuda are total scumbags.txt

Even if users tried to take out the patrol fleet and Icarus’ main force while their fleet power was intact,

What’s coming next is a 50,000-strong mercenary fleet and 25,000 ships per base from the Main Combat Fleet. LOLOLOLOL

Damn, to take this down, you’d need 1,000 people per base, not 500.

Comments:

-[There’s something wrong with this post.]

-˪[Huh?] (Author)

-˪[Last time during the Walpurgis invasion, Icarus alone deployed nearly 1,000 mercenary groups.]

-˪[For some reason, they were deployed in waves and got stuck, but the number of mercenary groups that came out was close to 100,000 ships.]

-˪[Damn LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-˪[Wasn’t it 80,000 or 90,000? Not 100,000?]

-˪[Anyway, rounding up, it’s 100,000. Bye.]

-˪[Not easy, huh?]

As you can see from the gallery reactions, it was pretty much an impossible story.

“Actually, that’s why we only accepted up to 500 people per base, right?”

“Exactly, Jessica.”

If we increase it any further, we’d have to dump a ton of mercenaries into the mix, and who wants to shoulder that kind of risk?

Besides, if we buy that many mercenaries, the resource consumption rate would be absolutely insane…

So, it’s best to avoid that kind of situation if possible.

Of course, no doubt about it.

==========

Anyway, while dealing with all that, I was living my days as the peaceful Hoka… no, as the village chief, open ark owner, ranker, and armband-wearer.

Then, with a strangely cheerful melody, a new message popped up in front of me and other users.

And what was that message, you ask?

“Oh.”

“What’s up?”

“It’s time for a new event.”

That’s right.

The message contained an event update, like a sweet rain after a long drought for users who had been stuck in a “no-update” period.

—————————————–

<General Notice>

<<<New Event Announcement>>>

<A new mini-event notice for Commanders!>

<Starting now, the mini-event 'Clash of the Squads' will be updated!>

<The event details are as follows.>

<'Clash of the Squads'>

<Each Commander will use a small fleet to engage in battles on a separate event map!>

<The event map will spawn two Commanders and one NPC fleet, with each fleet set as hostile to the others.>

<The maximum fleet points are limited to 200, and only Cruiser Battleships or lower are allowed.>

<Also, note that 'Resource Mining Ships' cannot be deployed on this event map.>

<A total of 5 battles will take place, and points will be awarded based on kills and assists.>

<Points earned from battles can be used in the event-exclusive shop below.>

<'Squad Shop'>

<During the event period, a special shop using points will be open.>

<Even after the event ends with 5 wins, the shop will remain open for an additional week, so Commanders can take their time.>

<Event-Exclusive Map>

<Community features, including the gallery, will be available as usual.>

<<<Important Notes>>>

<During the event period, PVP will be restricted in all areas except the event map.>

<<<If ships participating in the event are sunk, they will not be repaired!>>>

<Unused points will be deleted after the shop closes.>

<Only one Superhuman can be used per round in this event map, and the used Superhuman cannot be used in the next round.>

And upon seeing that event message…

For a mini-event, it feels surprisingly packed with content…

“Commander, what’s written in the event message is…”

“Yeah, it basically blocks users from fighting each other for a while.”

“That should significantly reduce our supervision burden.”

“Exactly.”

Seeing the PVP ban clearly stated in the notes, Jessica and I decided to applaud the admins for their excellent choice.
