I think it's great that you guys are willing to be hired out as merc's. I mean even though you guys facilitate this site you should beable to have fun with it too, and it's like SARSadmin said you won't be doing any strategizing so why not join the battles. _________________

Where's the Blue Moon Village? I see only 4 people are in it (not including SARS). Is it a secret forum? _________________

It has no real purpose at all. The group existed from the start, mostly for people who used to be members of "Shangri-la" in the suikosource forums (mostly artists, admins, and suikoldfarts) and have no interest in participating in the nation system. But for now it has no real meaning. |

Do the adminstrators have any stat bonuses like double defense power or offense? |

Well, they certainly make up the strongest mercenaries thus far, so it's possible they could have either of those bonuses... or both. It'll be interesting to see which nation is the first to hire them.
Speaking of which, is there a limit for how many mercenaries a nation can hire per battle? It's a good idea, but I would hate to see nations ultimately forsaking their own units and mainly using mercenaries to do their fighting. Perhaps something like one or two mercenaries per battle? _________________

I don't think many nations will hire mercenaries at first. Aside from SARSadmin and Synchysi the mercenaries are too weak thus far. When nations begin to fall is when mercenaries will start to be hired a lot.
I also would like to see who first hires the admins. It would be kinda wierd to go facing them. _________________

No stat bonuses for admins or anything, that'd be sort of fuck ed up and totalitarian. I don't intend to put a CAP on how many mercs a nation can hire. I think nation leaders would be pretty conscious about using more of their own folks in battle anyways because they are free. Mercs cost money, and the only time you really need them is when you don't have enough units. |

here's an intersting question:
What if two nations want to hire the same mercenary for the same Phase?
Will the two nation Leaders try to outbid the other? It seems that lots of people would like to hire you SARS. if one leader PMs you and says that (s)he is willing to donate 3000 soldiers for Phase 3, but another PMs you and says that (s)he will donate 3000 soldiers as well, which would you pick, the former or latter?
Another question: You said that someone could hire you. Does that mean anyone, not a nation leader? _________________ Guardian of Greenhill & Devoted Protector of Oulan

Actually, 1/20th of SARS' soldiers are more than around 500 so they can't hire him with just 300.
I doubt anybody can just hire a merc, it's most probably only nation leaders. |

Yeah, only nation leaders would be able to hire mercs.
As far as which nation a merc would be hired by, that is totally up to the merc in question. Some people may choose one or the other, or tell one or both of the clients to up their prices. Some mercs might prefer to be hired by a certain nation over others. Who knows. |

Okay so if you wished to become a mercenary all you need to do is to go to the Usergroups, find mercenary and click join group. If you did do that would you then automatically leave your current nation and become a part of the mercenary group or would it need to be agreed with your nation leader? _________________

I'm guesing that you would probably need to agree with your nation leader, because it seems that in most nations the leader has given out soldiers to other members to increase the overall nation strength. The nation leader would probably want these back if you wanted to leave. |

As I said in the first post--
SARSadmin wrote: |
If you are already a member of a nation, there is no point in joining that usergroup, as you obviously can not be hired. Your nation leader might even punish you for trying to sell yourself to another nation!

So you obviously can not become a mercenary if you already belong to a nation. |
