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.

You got me on board.
Idea: 12v12 torni for the richest of corps. 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 exbanded 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. |

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. As for the tournament I think we should it in two tiers. This will be the equivalent of the "major" and "minor" leagues. Your "indie" corps and your "top" corps. Pay outs/prizes vary depending on which "league" they are in. This also gives visibility to up and comers and gives the big guys a place to butt heads outside of normal PC. I'd like to clarify these are CORP VS CORP matches. No ringers allowed. Though we should totally do an "all-star" game.
I don't have much time to talk today, but.
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. |

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. |

I'd like to add this is a most importantly a machinima experiment but am trying to add some fun elements we can take part in. Even if I just get enough backing/funding to do film just a couple matches that's fine by me.  |

Dig it. 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. |

You could always set something up between planet fight club corps and do it that way, they can bring in the necessary people themselves and it's not a serious fight so you can set up exactly what you want to do.
that way you wouldn't need to worry about getting a plot of land |

I was considering this as option for the "test runs" as I only really need a few matches to try to figure some stuff out / get a "pilot" to the community within a reasonable turn around.
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? |
