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 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.

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.

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."

i definitely want to participate.

moochie is the best dropship pilot in the game, he'll be able to do everything you need and more.

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

Can't find the funny ones but there's still some good ones there!

I will throw isk at this if everything else falls into place. Can't offer much else but an upvote and a bump.

Bojo's Grand Bazaar will gladly handle bets and I have contacts to some good Dropship pilots (Condor Squad) for camera if needed.

ZionTcd and Multiplexgaming.com will help out and support in any way.

Once donation prog is ready, I have isk/ Aur on stand by as well

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

Moody Heavy Industries is a supporter of local business.

Now to get Spero Escrow to handle contestant buy in's/pay outs....

Anything Spero can do, I can do better

Notice how she says "I can shoot a sparrow with a bow and arrow"
Edit: If you really do support local, get Eternal RMG to be camera-pilot. He is condor squad, it's a labor union....you best be putting that in the credits.

Union workers welcome.

we can negotiate salaries and credits!

Count me on board can be pilot, driver and can donate towards the cause I'll hit you up ing game in the morning would like to talk.

Rule the skies, Unionize

-Condor Squad

**** the unions, ill scab them and undercut them at every turn, dont let your growing business be held hostage be interchangeable parts.
