Give us an oportunity to bet for a team, and get a prize if we win

the way I see the prizes/broadcast portion of this working is this: All bets will be placed and finalized before teams participate with the officially sponsored third party (Right now it's looking like Bojo will be providing this service). Since the tools are not available to provide a nice and neat multicamera cast via twitch we will "premiere" an episode via twitch. After the "premiere" of this we will distribute payouts. Chances are everyone will know the outcomes of the matches before we broadcast (unless we convince everyone to keep their mouths shut for a few days) so these people are merely waiting on their payouts on the broadcast date.

I'm sure we could also put together a lottery/raffle as well if there's enough interest.

After the cast on twitch, the show will be distributed on my youtube channel for future enjoyment. =)

"good" broadcasting idea:

Get the Broadcaster in a Dropship, make him be in a blaster turret, crop image, like that i will be like being in a helicopter with a camera

Cyrius Li-Moody The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 643	Posted - 2013.08.06 09:31:00 - [1] - Quote Hi, there I have a proposition that I believe would bring more competition to PC and more fun in general to the game. I would like to set up a documented and spectated "Fight Club Show" based on a 12 v 12 format that will be edited and spiced up to be broadcast either on youtube or on twitch.tv (which would be a cast of a pre-recorded match in a format that made it feel live.) For those of you that care about my professional bg, I went to school for 2D & 3D Animation. I'm currently in between jobby jobs (that's code for unemployed), so I'm trying to merge my hobby (gaming/Dust) and my professional skills. Recommended Viewing that expresses my view of competitive play in gaming (BF3): http://youtu.be/hjoDxrAxEv4 Here's what ideas I have right now. Sorry in advance if anything is a little, I am very tired but wanted to write this all down before I forget. TEAM COMPOSITIONS \| 12 v 12 match play Squad 1 1. Squad Lead 2. Member 3. Member 4. Member 5. Member 6. Member Squad 2 7. Squad Lead 8. Member 9. Member 10. Member 11. Member 12. Member COMMANDER 13. Commander CREW 14. Cameraman (guy with capture card) 15. Pilot/Driver for cameraman 16. MAP Camera (guy with capture card) THE FINE PRINT RULES: Rules will vary patch to patch to better suit the ever changing game play mechanics. We will discuss what these are and make changes as we go. Examples: -DQ for anyone who kills a crew member -DQ if a commander leaves the MCC prematurely. -Any equipment/weapon restrictions Myself and the crew will be in a seperate COMMs channel to insure fairness and so I am free to direct/communicate with the production crew Commander roll? Da fuq? The commander slot will be for a team leader who sits in the MCC who can freely look at the tacnet to give intel and act as an alternate should anyone disconnect. Anyone who disconnects cannot re-enter the match. PRIZES & SPONSORS: How to make participating worth while using in game mechanics? I was thinking about adding "commercial/propaganda breaks" available for ISK for these match ups. Corps can pay ISK for advertising space to try to help their recruiting numbers or gain support for their team/war/whatever. What I need Land and Politics: 2 District's under the movie studio's name and another 2 Districts to a Shell Corp with insurance so I am free to direct, film, and perform the duties and logistics necessary to keep this project alive. I wish to remain neutral to all alliances and merely wish to entertain and I hope to gain the support of the community. A Dependable Crew I need a few individuals besides myself who have capture cards to properly document fights. Each team will have one camera man that is escorted around by a pilot in a dropship or LAV, and another cameraman recording the entire game's tacnet. So that's 2 camera men per team plus 1 pilot. 3 camera men besides myself needed total. 2 pilots total. After a match has been recorded, all videos will be sent to yours truly, and edited into action packed awesomeness for your eyeballs and ears. THE PROS: Fun for everyone patient enough to be involved. Cool stuff for Moody to edit. Being able to document and distribute matches we will be able to freely share strategies to encourage players to keep stepping up their game and to keep raising the bar of competition. We want to have fun but we also want good fights. Cool stuff for everyone to watch Bacon THE CONS: I need angel investors (ISK & land). I need dependable crew. Lot's of planning involved. If this is something that the community is interested in I would like to flex the powers of politics to find a way to make this happen. I will edit this as it further discussed. I would like to find a way for EVERYONE to profit from this idea. Again sorry if any of this does not make any sense. I'm pretty tired. Hope to hear some positive replies.

Example 6 corps. cash prizes for top three. entry cost, to cover prizes, attacks and crew costs. Could just make this a weekley/monthly event to broadcast and get those valuable viewers. Sure this idea can be expanded more. Right on. Let's get this conversation started. I want to bring a tourney/league that is truly something that the community puts together within the mechanics available. I feel this is the richest way we can evolve the meta until we get a "gladiator" mode or something.

With the current state of PC i think the cost of entry(100mil + attacks,prizes,crew) would be way too high for smaller corps, unless they got sponsors/investors of some sort. Think thats the road smaller corps need to go down. Bigger corps will be comfortable with the entry but they could also acquire sponsors/investors. Which could also lead to an official betting system for these matches. I'd like to state that these matches would take place on the land acquired by the machinima studio, which I would control as to cut the costs down on those entering by essentially paying the cost of setting up the attack. So my corp and my shell corp would constantly be "fighting" each other. I would verify rosters by pulling people into matches where teams could reoganize into squads/commander on the warbarge. It's an annoying process but it's the only way I can think of that I can maintain control of production. This also is a way to sort of keeps the same concept of "planet fight club" intact. As I don't actively participate in PC I'm a bit oblivious to costs, and a little wishy washy on the mechanics. If I'm getting any of this wrong. Official Betting System: I do not gamble in real life, so I'm not entirely awesome as this stuff. I'd love to hear some ideas.

Even if I just get enough backing/funding to do film just a couple matches that's fine by me.

Would love to watch battles with cut scenes that switch from first person, to external view through a tank turret to a smooth, panning aerial view with map insets. You need DS pilots with steady hands my friend. Excellent point. I know there's quite a few really good pilots out there and I trust in their abilities to fly and take direction. Glad theres interest. This could also prove to be a way to advertise "Ringers Inc" in a "commercial break."

Hell yeah. Please, spread the word. The Biggest hurdles in this are the ISK costs (like a real film maker, I am a poor New Eden Film maker, 10m bank account), which is directly tied to the land required.

If the pilot is successful within the community we can look into "renting" land to help film a larger tournament over a short amount of days. I'd prefer to be in control of districts during the filming of a full sized tournament, should it come, so I have complete control of scheduling. However, this would be considered a Soon(tm) plan if I were CCP. Afterwards, districts would be returned to their owners. Ideally this would take place on Planet Fight Club as this is the reason they're all there anyway, right?

Tracking/trucking shots will be done with LAVs. The passenger seat of the LAV allows for some of the largest viewing space. I will be experimenting with camera options and executions soon. I'll post a sort of "How to make a machinima in Dust" tutorial which will hopefully encourage others to try their hands at it to help increase the number of "camera techniques" within the game's mechanics.
