Bley

2014-06-20T00:52:29Z

Hal-9001:

'''Bley''' is a fan-slang term for a color of LEGO brand construction bricks released around 2002, when the LEGO company changed the formula for their gray bricks. The result was a more bluish gray, hence ''bley = blue + grey''. This [[event]] is known as the "[[Gray Shift]]" in the internal [[Kanon]] of the [[BrikVerse]].

The official name for the new color is "Stone grey" (with modifiers "Light", "Medium", and "Dark" -- there's no plain "stone grey"), but "bley" gets the point across much more quickly.

Battle Levels

2014-06-03T19:34:23Z

Hal-9001: Missed an editing artifact; sorry.

'''Battle Level''' refers to the intensity of a [[BrikWars]] battle, ranging from skirmishes to apocalyptic crusades. The category a battle fits into isn't just to do with points values, but what kind of units are used and objectives, so take what you see below as a rough guide. Links provided are just a sample of battles; many more exist buried within the tens of thousands of posts on the BrikWars forums, Brickshelf, MOCpages, personal websites, NELUG, and more dark corners of the internet, or have been lost or gone un-reported.

== Skirmish ==

A '''Skirmish''' is a small battle often focused in small areas such as bars or streets, while small they can be extremely entertaining, allowing players to utilize close combat weapons and random objects like beer mugs with brutal LOL-efficiency. Skirmishes rarely feature vehicles of any kind.

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOPk8X8kghs Last Man Standing]

== Confrontation ==

A '''Confrontation''' occurs when two to three platoons of soldiers face each other in combat over some obscure possibly pizza or siege based objective, hilarity will almost always occur. Confrontations feature the fun high-explosive weapons and vehicles of higher levels but will stay easy to manage like skirmishes.

== Clash ==

A '''Clash''' is relatively common among war-gaming clubs and friends playing together in an thoroughly organised way. Features of this kind of battle are multiple groups playing some kind of extended scenario such as assassinating enemy leaders or escaping with the gold. Clashes require lots of prior organisation but once the game momentum gets going it tends to work out. They feature good use of vehicles of various sizes from squads of bikes to tanks, Dragons & mecha.

== Onslaught ==

The '''Onslaught''' is a rare breed of battle, mainly because it can become easier to jump to epic level games. This kind of battle is known by its large armies utilizing all kinds of war machines.

== Epic ==

An '''Epic''' can feature the larger varieties of weapons, or can simply be of a grander scale.

[http://www.brikwars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1373 Death War]

== Armageddon ==

An '''Armageddon''' is an extremely large battle that encompasses the ultimate weapons in brik warfare, [[Super/Hyper Weapons|Super Weapons and Hyper Weapons]]. To this day no Hyper Weapons have been built. Armageddons rarely ever happen (possibly 1-2 in BrikWars' 15 year history). Unfortunately, many battles have been lost to the dreaded 404 and Hosting Fees; as such, no battle report still exists of such battles.

== Other ==

There are also a plethora of battles which have defied standard ranking by not following what most battles are, they may involve races or role-playing. They occur because BrikWars is a great platform for modification to any kind of turn based strategy game.

Bley Shift

2014-06-03T19:11:48Z

Hal-9001:

One morning in the [[BR 2,002]], [[minifigs]] woke up to find the world... changed. Everything that had been a pure gray was corrupted with a tinge of [[Nega]] color, as if someone had diluted the gray with blue. Everyone found this new color highly unpleasant, and massive riots broke out as various scapegoats ([[NegaBloks]], [[peaches]], etc) were accused of sabotage. It was eventually determined that the change was brought about by a massive influx of [[Nega energy]] during the [[Poop Invasion]], as the Nega forces' stolen ley-line [[portals]] were overloaded and transformed into chaotic bley-lines instead.

Among other skills, I'm very experienced in using [[Wikipedia:LaTeX|LaTeX]] to make technical documents. I'm not pleased with the 2005 PDF as it stands, so I'm working on making a better one (I've made one already, but I know more about LaTeX now than I did then, so I'm going to remake it in the near future).

Stuff I've made:

* [http://www.mediafire.com/view/nok690r2mpe7ecf/BrikWars_2005.pdf BrikWars 2005 PDF] (made with LaTeX -- to be remade)
* [http://www.mediafire.com/download/6cdw7apqq71u8yd/BrikWars_GIMP_Template.xcf BrikWars Stat Card GIMP Template] (being remade with better fonts, also with b/w version)
* [http://www.mediafire.com/view/s2933z12q2n3kct/Vehicle_Datasheet.odg BrikWars Vehicle Datasheet Template] (ODG format, made with [[Wikipedia:LibreOffice|LibreOffice]], also available in [http://www.mediafire.com/view/dab0n6ihb5anrm6/Vehicle_Datasheet_Blank.pdf PDF] and [http://www.mediafire.com/view/amddir4cntq6ida/Vehicle_Datasheet.doc DOC] formats -- to be remade with better fonts, same as the GIMP template).
