[RN] What is Sunday Strike?

Day 2,698, 09:07 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by The Royal Navy


You’ve joined the Royal Navy - the UK’s biggest and best MU. Congratulations! A wise choice. Extra rum for you.

But now you’re here, you may be wondering what all the cryptic Sunday Strike messages that pop up on the MU feed (usually on a Sunday, funnily enough) are about. Well this guide is here to demystify it.





So What’s This “Sunday Strike” business then?

It’s simple enough. Every Sunday afternoon all members of the Royal Navy are encouraged to fight and record their damage. This information is then collected, run through the patented RN Damage-o-meter and spat out the other end in a form that lets regiments brag and take the … ahem … out of other regiments. It really is as simple as that.

However, this is the Royal Navy, so we don’t expect sailors to use up their hard-earned rum rations on the competition. We pay you for it, in the form of Strike Kits that contain more than enough weapons and energy to kick some ass. And we give you prizes for fighting afterwards too.



How Does It Work?

1. Sunday strike takes place every Sunday between 3pm and 8pm (UK time).

2. To take part, open the party chat feed and request a Strike kit. The Commander in charge of the strike will send you:
- 20 q7 weapons
- 200 q5 food (i.e. 2000 energy)

3. Fight like a battle-hardened rum-fuelled psycho! It doesn’t matter where you fight, but obviously we’d prefer you to complete your DO and the country’s MoD orders.

4. Fight some more for good measure.

5. Make sure that you keep your eye on the amount of damage you’re doing. You need it later. If you fight in more than one battle, record your damage for each one and total it up.

6. Go to the MU feed. Someone (usually Neil Lewis) will have posted a link to the Sunday Strike damage sheet

7. Go to the sheet and fill in the following simple details:
- Your eRep name
- Your division
- Your regiment number
- Your damage

So, that could be VoodooMike71, Div 1, Reg 2, 50000000

If you need to know your Regiment, click Community > My Military Unit > See all


That’s it, you’re done! You can now kick back, perhaps grab a rum (rum is a fairly constant theme in the Royal Navy) and bask in the glow of knowing that you’ve served the Navy and your country well.



Later that evening, when the strike is finished, a new link will go up on the MU feed to a Sunday Strike article in this paper, which will show all the results including - crucially - how each regiment did against the rest. This is your cue to add a comment to the article telling everyone else what losers they are.

Oh, if if you did well, you’ll automatically receive a prize:

Top 3 fighters in each division get:
1st - 1000 q5 food OR 25 q7 tanks
2nd - 750 q5 food OR 15 q7 tanks
3rd - 500 q5 food OR 10 q7 tanks

Plus!
Any division 1 or 2 player that scores more than division 3 or 4 counterparts gets some cash!

Plus!
If the Royal Navy as a whole does more than 500,000,000 damage, all participants get 50cc per 500 million damage (so if RN does 1 billion damage we all get 100cc etc).



Not bad, huh? All this for starting a fight using someone else’s weapons and energy. What’s not to like?

So, starting this Sunday, get your sorry arse over to the RN chatroom, claim your Strike Kit and get involved. The honour of your MU depends on it!

*the example I used of 50 million damage isn't real. Sometimes I do less damage than that 😉
