[IBS] Imperial Blood Serpents

[Ozzy81]

Fellow Imperial noblemen/women,

we managed to liberate Mobius platform. Imperial society influence went from 35% yesterday to 44% today while that revolutionary scumbags dropped from 36% to 32%. We may have won the Mobius plaform, but the war still rages on. Keep up the good work!

The Emperor needs to know of our devotion now more than ever with recent attempts against his life ( by a pathetic band of fools I might add).

Hail the Emperor,

Earl Ozzy

Congrats! I am in Sifjar though I will relocate my Freage to this system today. With an Eagle.

Sorry to say but congratulations are misplaced: Revolutionary Sifjar Free were beaten by bugs in the software and not by the efforts of a group of misguided commanders. Here's the history over the last month or so:

Dates on the x-axis are given as MMDD-N, where N is the observation point where the status table changed. Note that there are two points on some days (0407 and 0409); this is not supposed to happen. Also note that there were no updates on 0411.
As you can see, RSF were inexplicably on the rise for several days, taking influence from Imperial Society, who gallantly gave ground (space?).
Sadly, negotiations were unsuccessful and Civil war broke out on 0407 with the second stats update, with IS on 33.0% and RSF on 44.3%. Unusually(?), there were 13 Conflict Zones. By 0409-1, IS was down to 26.8% (-6.2%) while RSF had gained 50.2% influence (+5.9%), both having gained/lost in excess of the 5% thought to be required for Civil War to end and consequential transfer of property rights. This did not happen.
0409-2 saw an influx of commanders supporting IS and their influence on events is visible in the graph.
On 0412-1 IS's influence rose from 38.0% to 44.2% (+6.2%) while RSF's fell to 32.8% (-6.2%). Result: Civil War ends and Mobius Platform is handed to IS. If the same rules applied, this should not have happened.
Moreover, Civil War immediately broke out again between the same two parties. This should not have happened: there is supposed to be a 3-day cooling off period.
These bugs are reported on the main forums.
The IBS talks volubly on the 'honour' of the emperor and the empire.
In this case the honourable action is self-evident: IBS should withdraw and let nature take its proper course during the current Civil War.

Thanks for the heads up, Walter! But where did you get that data from?

My log book.

Well, you got me impressed, here!

I just checked and the conflict zones are gone. Imperial Society is currently at 51%, Revolutionary Sifjar Free at 14%, and at the moment they're no longer at war.

Mobius Platform is now in the hands of the Imperial Society

Mobius Platform is now in the hands of the Imperial Society

Only thanks to a systemic bug.
Still haven't heard if the Imperial Bully Boys are going to do the honourable thing and leave things to nature.

All is fair in love and war!
