RATTLE signups are live for the RAT Battle Competition taking place this Saturday, Aug 5th, at 12:00 up until Sunday Aug 6th, ending at 12:00

https://mafiareturns.com/war/rattle.php

As of this moment we are not capping things, but our goal is 14ish players per round, we may limit the amount of signups per round depending on circumstances.

I will be turning back on the sale until the start of the event just in case it benefits any contestants on the fence.

Good luck, good hunting, and have a blast!

RATTLE aka RAT Battle is a new Marksmanship Skill Olympics that allows participants to compete against each other for money.

The 24 time frame is broken down into 48 separate half hour events.  There is a buy-in to compete for that half hour event, winner take all for that round.  (Tie goes to whomever has the most recent wack at the end of the event)

The rounds will sway from very small buy-ins like 100k, all the way to an infrequent but very big-dick-buy-ins in the double digit millions.

For example, lets say round 20:00 to 20:30 has a 500k buy in, and 12 people sign up, that means the winner walks away with 6 million PLUS your original buy-in.  

The rounds are exactly like normal RATs with the additional qualifier of having previously signed up with the buy-in for that time slot.  

By the very nature of the RNG picking half the eligible pool to shoot, it will never have a perfect distribution of wack pools in such a small sample of data.  You may get in 8 pools while your neighbor gets in 9.  So please understand that flipping a coin 30 times won't mean exactly 15 heads and 15 tails.  This is 33% education on proper form to maximize chances, 33% discipline on physical rhythm, and 33% luck that the RNG smiles upon you.  (Sacrifices can be made to curry favor by toasting a drink, blowing smoke, or otherwise a hand gesture of acknowledgement towards the North Star)

 

(PS - If you are new to RATs, please ask your Crewleader/Uppers/HSL for more info on tips/tricks and how to quickly build your gun with RATs.  Hands down this is one of my favorite features of the game, outside of Vday events.)

Currently Polaris is at a declination of a bit over 89 degrees, which means that no one south of 1 degree south latitude can see Polaris. That's almost all of the Southern hemisphere, let alone the South Pole.
