THE SITUATION
Natural Selection II is Diamond II, 89 wins, 100 members, best chain 100,000. Their roster is almost entirely Level 100 endgame players. This is not a war we can win, and we're not pretending otherwise.
What we can do is extract maximum value from a bad matchup — which is exactly what a termed loss is for. The faction shell earns the ranked loss cache at Diamond tier. We earn the respect. Everybody eats.
WHAT COUNTS
Everything that moves us toward 6,000 respect counts equally:
⚔️
Direct war hits on NS members — the obvious one. Hit whoever you can beat.
🤝
Assists on group attacks — join every group link you see in chat. Just as valuable as a solo kill.
🔗
Chain hits on outside targets — keeping the chain alive multiplies respect from war hits. This is real work, not a consolation prize.
If it costs you energy and it helps us hit 6k, it counts.
THE PLAN
- Use your energy. The threshold is 400E. That's roughly one xanax cycle. Pop your xan, use your energy on the war effort, and you're in.
- War hits when you can get them. If you can crack an NS member, hit them. If there's a group attack link in chat, join immediately — assists count the same as kills.
- Chain hits fill the gaps. If NS members are all hospitalized or you can't crack anyone, hit outside targets to keep the chain alive. Chain multipliers make everyone's war hits worth more. This is not a lesser contribution.
- Don't overthink target selection. These guys are strong. Hit whoever you can beat. If you bounce, move on. No shame in outside targets — we need 6k collective, not individual heroics.
- Pile into group attacks. When someone starts a fight against a tough NS member, join. The distraction mechanic halves their defense per additional attacker. Even low-stat members make a difference.
- Don't mug. Leave or hospitalize only. Mugging carries a negative respect modifier and we need every point.
REMINDER: Do not mug during war. Leave or hospitalize. Mugging = negative respect modifier = directly hurting the team's ability to hit 6k.
PAYOUT
EQUAL SPLIT
Use 400+ energy toward the war effort → get your equal share of the pool.
War hits, assists, and chain hits all qualify. No leaderboard, no performance weighting. Show up, do the work, get paid.
Members who don't hit the 400 energy threshold don't receive a payout. Members who use zero energy don't receive a payout. That's it.
TL;DR
Hit stuff. Keep the chain alive. Use your energy. Get paid.
