BattleCity League action continues tonight (Thursday 10pm EST) and RedRocket still leads the BCL after jumping into first place 2 weeks ago! Will he be able to hang-on and win the Grand Prize of $25 BCD? The standings are very tight, so be online tonight to take part in the action and find out! Do you think RedRocket can win the BCL? Let us know what you think in the BCL Forums .

Don't forget, anybody can take part in the BCL! All you have to do is show-up at 10pm EST and be ready to play! Even if your team lasts 27 seconds, you will win a new tank for the week! You will also have your name entered into a draw to win that tank (or anything else you want) permanently from the BC Store!

How can you HELP the BCL be even more fun? SIMPLE! Remind everyone you see when the next game is so more people show up! A simple reminder can go a long way.

We want everyone from the community to get involved! Some people might not know there is even a BCL taking place because they don't check the BC news everyday...! They really should check the site everyday because we like to give away great prizes...

It's safe to say the BattleCity League has come back to life with a vengeance! After a few seasons that were fun, but plagued with short-handed battles or forfeits, Nightwish decided to try something a little different... INSANE CARNAGE BATTLE BCL! Two weeks ago 20 players engaged in a 5 city war and last week 24 players took part in a 6 city battle ! With refs and other players online, 10pm EST Thursday has seen server population jump over 30!

HELP MAKE THESE BATTLES EVEN BIGGER! Tell everyone when the next game is so more and more players show up! Make sure everyone know that all players who show up can take part and EVERYONE who shows up will receive a cool new tank for the next week! There will of course also be the grand end of season prizes that participants can win!!! 

I'd love to see a 10 city war with over 40 players on the server! SPREAD THE WORD! THURSDAY 10pm EST BE ONLINE!!! 

Last week Zhantrim, Bartise, Surge and DoubleB83 were the members of the last team standing! Everyone on their team earned 3 points in the BCL standings (2 orbs + win)! You don't need to be the last team standing to earn points though! The team of Anox, RedRocket, JetLi and 1illest also all earned 3 points because their city got three orbs before being orbed by zhantrim!

RedRocket, who went into the night with 2 points, finished the evening with a total of 5, launching him up the standings to #1 overall ! DoubleB83 and JetLi are right behind him with a total of 4 points each!

Will RedRocket be able to hold onto the #1 spot and win the Grand Prize of $25 to spend at the BC Store?! Find out this Thursday at 10pm EST as the battle continues...!

This Thursdays BattleCity League was the most exciting event we've seen on BattleCity for a long time! 28 people were online for the game which is incredible! Everyone who showed up, whether they were picked for a team or not, received a free custom tank for the next week!

Organizing events like this are no easy task so we couldn't be happier to see how many of you took the time to show up and participate. I know logging onto the server and seeing everyone there put a smile on my face! Nightwish is already actively discussing ways to make things run even smoother next week, so we definitely hope to see you all again on Thursday October 11th!

This Thursday the battle ended up having 5 teams! That makes for one very huge war! Here is the Orb Log:

Bishkek (Knights, Tankinator, Bastard, Prince) Orbs Mango (RedRocket, Testament, Billiam, eVil)
Jakarta (rise against, Jizohn, latinolucio, HotShot) Orbs Skopje (zhantrim, Ayana, meanbitch, Lakender)
Kuala Lumpur (Merloch, darkluigi, DoubleB83, Jetli) Orbs Jakarta (rise against, Jizohn, latinolucio, HotShot)
Bishkek (Prince, Knights, Tankinator, Bastard) Orbs Kuala Lumpur (Anox, morsmorde, Ocery, Jetli)

The big winners for the night were Knights, Tankinator, Bastard and Prince who picked up 3 points and moved into a tie for first place overall! The championship could still easily go to anyone though since with 6 teams participating, the winning team could possibly get 6 points in a single night if they orb everyone and win!

RedRocket, Testament, New B and Gunman are still close behind with 2 points each! Latinolucio, rise against, HotShot, Jizohn, Merloch, darkluigi, DoubleB83 and Jetli also picked up 1 point this week!

Help us make the league even more fun! Tell everyone you see when the next game is so we can get even more people online for the next game! Remember, there are great prizes to be won and all you have to do is show up!

Thanks again to everyone who participated this week! Lets work together to make it even better next week!

The BattleCity League got off to a bit of a rocky start last Thursday when a time zone mix-up led to the games starting at 12pm EST instead of 10pm EST! We've since gotten Nightwish to fix his watch and have forgiven him since we know he stays up until 4am his time to make this season possible! We <3 u Nighty!

Once things got going, two captains were selected and two teams made! Testament was able to get the orb for his team to move himself, his mayor New B, and teamate Gunman to the top of the standings! The full standings can be seen here.

The next BCL game is this coming Thursday at 10pm EST. Don't miss it! Remember, the players on the winning team will get a custom tank for 1 week and there will also be great end of season prizes!

At the end of the season, the top 3 players with the most points will win:

1st: $25 BCD
2nd: $15 BCD
3rd: $15 BCD

That's enough BattleCity Dollars to get a custom tank from the BattleCity Store!

We encourage everyone to take part. Don't worry if you think you have no chance of finishing in the Top 3, you could still win a prize just by showing up and playing!

At the end of the season, the names of all players who have played in at least 2 games will be put in a hat! We will then randomly select two names from the hat and both of these players will also win $15 BCD!!!

See you all Thursday!
