OOC:  Dagda has 65 enclaves and 10 Omni factories.  Should the Clans be conducting trials with this much at stake.  Should it not be a few enclaves or 1 factory at a time?  Using this model I could attack Shadow which has the entire production of Clan Mandrill(IIRC) and if I won pretty much destroy them.

No. With the force heading in, he can't claim the entire World.  He can go after the factory and several enclaves.

Due to the need to get sheets out this combat has been resolved. Feel free to role play it though.

OOC: was safcon granted or was it a bloody slugfest?
And yeah, it is for the whole 10 Factories and 8 Enclaves. It is a chunk of Dagda, but only of the Burrocks. Even so, Clan practices could allow for just one Cluster do defend this or even more, although that price here would be very important, so no Clan would go that route, but 1 Galaxy would be fitting, think of Tokasha, where 2 Galaxies clashed. However, I fear there will be more units involved.. limiting the fights to a few, but masses of troops at that, I guess. For normal trials, yes, I could see Clans going for 1 Enclave at a time. But this is Blood Spirits vs Burrocks. :/

OOC:  I think we all need a write up on what we can trial for.  As in how much at a time and what force should be committed.  10 GF factories seems like a lot to get for one trial.  If that is where we are going Clan Snow Raven will never grant Safcon and will commit every force in space and on world to its defense.

I was under the impression it was 1 Cluster for 1 Enclave/Omni-GF as a way to limit massive land grabs, but still allow for Galaxy-sized clashes? I'm italicizing in-character text so players will know the difference.

 

"saKhan Darius Cage," the woman on the screen says with an amused look. "Your petition for Safcon is denied. I would also like to take this moment to mock your hypocrisy in declaring your Spirits the 'one true clan' when you do not dare come here without help from the Fire Mandrills. Apparently the 'one true clan' must hide behind what, by definition, they do not accept as a real clan."

"I would like to mock you, but I have found that I cannot bid the level of intelligence necessary without carrying out a lobotomy on one of my warriors to lower them to your level - and you do not deserve that level of effort."

"Be assured of a warm welcome on Dagda."

I was thinking about it last night and I was thinking that a 1 cluster to 1 enclave/GF is perfect and for ship to ship trials a 1-1 rule would also suffice. So if the Foxes wanted three Hellion vessels, the initial hellion bid should have been three ships with the option to add a single "cluster" to each as a defensive cap. The Foxes could then match accordingly. Make a small change for designated Capitals, but otherwise it would allow for large and small trials.
