DUST Search - Million Clone Challenge Accepted

Kigurosaka Laaksonen wrote:

Details on March's event here.

As I'm inclined to believe, when the community works together, everyone benefits. For February's event, I encouraged everyone to run a Heavy with an HMG. That would help everyone both to get kills with a heavy weapon, and kill heavies, which would maximize everyone's reward and help people reach the max reward quickly.

The Million Clone Challenge is this weekend! If the 'clones destroyed' count for the weekend totals 1 million or more, everyone gets 1 million SP. That's almost 2 weeks of SP!

To help get to the million mark, I propose that everyone leave their nanite injectors in their merc quarters. Don't even think about bringing them onto the battlefield. The reason is simple; Kills don't count. For it to matter, you need to lose your clone.

Now some of you run fits that you're probably not keen on throwing away. To alleviate your anxiety, for the weekend of this event only, make a cheap fit! It's that simple.

To recap. This weekend is an event. During the event, if a million or more clones are destroyed, everyone gets 1 million SP. To help us all reach that goal, everyone should refrain from bringing nanite injectors into battle, and people should run cheap fits they don't mind losing.

Working together will benefit us all!

EDIT: I see some other people have already beat me to the punch or otherwise posted similar ideas to work together!

SILVERBACK 02 lays it out plain and simple.

John Demonsbane makes it seem so simple, a caveman could do it.

Sadly I have to work that weekend but while I can play my alts WILL be flying around in cheap suits flinging RE's, running into crowds with knives and and randomly shooting massdrivers all over the damn place. I think one of them has a scout BPO, that will be helpful. "The line between disorder and order lies in logistics" -Sun Tzu Forum Warrior lv.2 Amarr victor!

Also, I saw a few posts in other threads about individual players needing to get a million kills. The entire game needs to see a million clones destroyed, not just killed and picked up with a needle.

I know they have to be destroyed, but you know someone is bound to boost. Slowly, without the revives, but boosting nonetheless. Anyways, I'll try to play 15 games each day. That'll be 30, when and if I'm done. Happy hunting!
