We really have no idea how many clones are typically killed from downtime on Friday to downtime on Monday, for a typical weekend. It would be good to know in order to judge how attainable this challenge is, especially for those who would buy a booster just for this event. if we have 10k daily players, thats only 100 per merc, per day. thats easily attainable. plus with 3k-4k players on at any given time(with weekend numbers pushing the player count up), the daily average is probably more than 10k, which only makes it easier and when you include the fact some of the hardcore players will top 1k terminatios by themselves...were getting the million sp ps these numbers are estimates, eveoffline is down atm I was ballparking based off of how long ambushes and skirmishes last, and amount of clones killed per minute. Lets say that you are killing about 75% of clones in an ambush or skirmish. (80-120 ambush, 225 in skirmish/dom) Lets say that an ambush in about 6 minutes and a skirmish is about 12 min (give or take? what do you think) Because each match is 'using' 32 players that means that during the lifetime of a match, each individual player is probably getting, on average, .5 kills to .75 kills per hour. Lets also say we have around 4000 players on playing each hour, but only in battle contributing to statistics about 75% of the time (3000 player hours per hour). That's a total of 216,000 minutes played over the weekend. At my above estimated kill rate, we will be pretty well below the goal. Interestingly though, I don't think clones are necessarily killed faster in ambushes than skirmishes. You can play more matches faster, but there are fewer clones lost overall in them.

Even with only 3000 active players, we all only need to hit 333.3 kills each to do this. It's totally possible. Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face.

calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 2081	Posted - 2014.03.10 15:55:00 - [51] - Quote let's say 150 clones lost on average per game, let's estimate 6 games going on at any given time, (let's be honest i doubt theirs more then this going on at any given time), each taking on average 20 minutes. that's 2700 clones per hour that's 64000 clones per day, or 194400 clones lost during this event. I think we will be a bit shy for this event. to give you my personal record I have been playing for over a year and i barely have over 50k kills i think, and that's not even clones bleed out.
