CharCharOdell Shining Flame Amarr Empire 838	Posted - 2013.09.17 19:52:00 - [1] - Quote I'd be more in favor of team sign ups. So we have teams of 6 tankers face off until the winning team is crowned. Then the winning team faces off against eachother 3 v 3. Then we have the championship rounds 1 v 1. Tank A vs tank B, B v C, C v A. Then from the 3 championship battles, whoever had the best KDR averaged out across those 3 gets the title: Best Tank Killer In New Eden. I will call this the Honey Badger Tournament.... or we could just call the top 6-man team the best tankers if people prefer that.....it'd also be a lot easier to do, logistically....in fact, I like that idea more but if people like my first idea we can do that.

Make it blasters please All weapons allowed, but remember the Rail tank has to get out of the range of the blaster tank, which is harder said than done as we'll start at a 50 m range and a there are ways to deal with the Blaster's shorter ranges (Speed) No BC that favors tank builds and SP vs tactics. Battle starts in red line once the first man leaves the MCC.

Also, I want to get a very specific group of tankers together. Please reply here if you want a spot on team Mango. Here is who I want: VOID BOB GRODD COVERT PSYCHOTIC

I'd think Grodd, Clay and Psychotic would be hard to contact Nah, Grodd and I play together ever day. I know Grease pretty well and him and Psychotic are boys, so that isn't too hard, but finding Covert is a challenge..... COVERT! COVERT! COVERT!
CharCharOdell Shining Flame Amarr Empire 859	Posted - 2013.09.18 17:38:00 - [8] - Quote Killar-12 wrote: Char how do you feel about a draft? It would be fairer... No because it goes against finding THE best tanker in the semifinals and championship 1 v 1 rounds. Naturally, similarly skilled tankers will end up in the same team, so when one team is crowned winner, the top 6 will likely already be there to compete with eachother. Fairness =/= handicap. I want the best team possible so when we go for the championship rounds, we have the opportunity to get the best fights against the most vicious tankers.
CharCharOdell Shining Flame Amarr Empire 859	Posted - 2013.09.18 17:43:00 - [9] - Quote I'd like to put this forth as another team: Mary, Attorney, Rage, Lurch, Maple, and....idk who else...if they're all down. That'd be a team worthy of taking on mine, for sure. Really sad that there aren't enough good tankers to get 4 teams of 6 that would have GOOD FIGHTS. The reason drafting people into teams would be hard is because and getting everyone into a chat at once is impossible.
CharCharOdell Shining Flame Amarr Empire 875	Posted - 2013.09.19 00:47:00 - [10] - Quote Team Mango Charlotte Void Echo (confirmed) Bob (confirmed) Grodd (confirmed) Covert Clay (confirmed) Psychotic Shooter (confirmed) My team is set. We could have third party bets for this too, just to make it interesting...

Trust me you can still pull a team together, Maple, Siedello, and others are available... There are at least 6 other good tankers around.
CharCharOdell Shining Flame Amarr Empire 880	Posted - 2013.09.19 04:24:00 - [12] - Quote ^How would you propose we have 24 tankers face off in a tourney without 2 tankers having redline rail duels? Blasters only? Not fair to shields. No redline sniping? Nobody can know where there own redline is. And I chose a team to do this: 2 brawlers 1 brawler-killer 1 sniper 2 generalists to fill any holes that might appear It is what any smart person would do.
CharCharOdell Shining Flame Amarr Empire 893	Posted - 2013.09.19 13:25:00 - [13] - Quote Perhaps a modified version of skirmish would be proper. Each team gets six tanks and two dismounts. The dismounts must wear a militia heavy suit (unmodded) with a scrambler pistol. The goal of the game is to play skirmish, however, only the dismounts can hack. ^How is this? It discourages using a team of all rails, because using a blaster or missile tank to transport infantry gives more security, if it gets attacked by another brawler at close range- where it cannot hide out of the redline. It is also more efficvient to have 2 transport tanks, rather than one, because only one point can be hacked at a time by one grunt, so hacking 2 with 2 different tanks is better. Rails are still usable, but more of an over watch than anything, and missile will play a part as specialized transport killers.

CharCharOdell Shining Flame Amarr Empire 893	Posted - 2013.09.19 15:53:00 - [15] - Quote I'm just brainstorming BC we have a while to plan this. We don't even have enough players, yet. Another possibility is to have several competitions: Best shield rail Best shield blaster Best shield missile Best armor rail Best armor blaster Best armor missile Best armor tanker (any turret) Best shield tanker (any turret) Best all around (any build) Best tank team (must field 2 rail, 2 blaster, 2 missile---best average KDR combined through team wins) Tankers will sign up for up for one specific build duel and team (optional). This makes the tourney shorter. The reason doing this tourney now is a bad idea is that the disparity between armor and shields in 1 v 1 duels puts shield tankers at a disadvantage. If we so it now, armor tankers have a better chance of winning and that is not fair. Other possibilities: Best shield tanker Best armor tanker Best team

Charlotte doesn't want to run into Bob in an early round, or have to rail snipe versus Void, etc. I gave credit where it was due and called it a wise decision, but it would be very unwise of those of us who want a real tourney to support his thinking. After more thought, I am leaning towards pairs being the biggest unit, and only if we can't come up with a workable way to do solo matches. Bob and I are the best generalist tankers there are and I'm confident in that. We win by fighting our enemies with the weapons we don't have. Bob and I have tied every time we duel- every time since chrome. Our styles are almost exactly the same and that's why he's my favorite person to fight (no good counter to him) I'm still on the fence about how to do the teams though. Not sure if everyone should get the chance to be on a team with one cup, or multiple cups. Perhaps an all-star cup with a 40 million buy in and a secondary cup with no buy in to desperate the new tankers from the vets. Or if only people who win the specific tank build duels should get to compete.

They're all pretty good, from what I've seen during the LOI V EON war.

I so proud to be of the Pink Fluffy Lineage :) My tank fits are still very similar to what I used in Chrome (shield tanks)
