The wording in the event announcement is very inclusive. It says [i[all[/i] clones terminated count toward the total, so I would assume yes. It includes public contracts, FW, and PC matches, so I would naturally assume the Academy counts as well.

Yes, your quote is accurate. However, the next line states that friendly fire deaths do not count towards the total. This is interesting, seeing as how there is no friendly fire in public contracts, only in FW and PC. So, if the second rule is in fact relevant, perhaps the first is worded Ina rather misleading fashion. CCP may be trying to simply specify that only terminated clones are counted, so reviving a downed clone and then killing them again will only count as one death towards the total. Mentioning friendly fire either means FW and PC are included, or it is completely irrelevant and confusing. By the same token, if the first rule is either poorly worded of misleading.

Mentioning friendly fire either means FW and PC are included, or it is completely irrelevant and confusing. By the same token, if the first rule is either poorly worded of misleading. Earlier in Frame's post he mentions that every clone terminated in New Eden will count towards the total, which could even read as including Eve pilot deaths. No matter what, it is definitely rather contradictory. It could mean things like, crashing an LAV, getting squashed by your dropship... Or even hitting the "suicide" option... All very do-able in public matches. So the big question becomes, does the Academy count as a public contract?
It is definitely still a question, yes, but the line "Shooting your friends in the back is junk data." still sounds like game modes with friendly fire are being counted. Either way, CCP certainly should count every game mode they possibly can if they want us to hit 5 million.
