Taking a popular community game (naming officer weapons after players) and making it an actual event... That's great.
Well done.

I'd like to ask for a of clarification though - I'm pretty sure I've understood correctly but before I attempt to clear a weekend I'd like to check if I'm right.

On each weekend, you have a chance to get lots of kills with one of these types of weapons.
The highest score of any of these weekends is what is counted for you.
The person with the highest score will have the opportunity to name that officer variant.

Is that correct?

Correct. The highest score on a single weekend wins. This does mean you can win for multiple weapons (heck, you can even win more than one weapon in a single weekend).

"...All scores are taken on a character basis, though all characters from a single account are eligible..."

Does this mean I can get 300 kills on my main, then another 300 kills on second and/or third chars on same account and have those scores tallied with my main, or do my alt scores stand alone in the count?

Second one. Each character is counted individually, but every character on an account is eligible.

You should give use a threshold for each weapon, beyond that threshold we will gain [insert number here] copies of that officer weapon, otherwise people like me would not even bother to play for the event itself. Give something to all and something special to someone. PSN: ogamega I'm not a chef, i'm just a man who likes to cook.

Your not address the point that the event is a big expensive waste of time for 90% of the comnunty as its heavily stacked towords nolifers people with lots of sparecash or just bags of isk. Taking part in the event needs to give a reward or its a pointless for pretty much everyone. And your going to cripple your mid new tear playerd as they get wtf stomped by protogear.

Yeah this is the second event in a row (along with 'win worthless low tier gear') that's of no interest to 90%+ of the playerbase. In this case there are only rewards for at most 12 players. I know Dust has a low playerbase but that's just taking the ****!

Goes to sob in a corner Welcome to the corner No more tears! Who's to say there won't be a similar event for secondary weapons? It's better this way, as it encourages a finite player base to focus on a smaller number of weapons. If/when the challenge is rewritten for secondary weapons, the same principle applies. This challenge is clever, but I don't know that its necessary. Fate has already declared that each weapon must be named after Bojo, as in "Bojo's Mighty Nova Knives", "Bojo's Mighty Forge Gun", etc etc etc. We want to make sure all the sidearms are fun and balanced before (read future hotfix) we consider doing a sidearm event like this. If it goes well and everyone has fun, we will definitely want to do one. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Yes, you only need to max one weekend out of the four, this is designed so players have four distinct periods, not a sum of the weekends. It also means a single person might win all weapon naming rights by having incredible 12 single days, though I doubt it can be done "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Most of us expect that people will indeed boost their kill counts and do their best to hide this fact. As other have pointed out, this event does seem to target the same hardcore players that would also have hundreds of millions of isk to burn through.
