Just thinking, if people wanted to leave the proto-tank stompage behind, we could just spam the academy with new characters and pew pew each other to the death.
If we can get enough people interested in this idea, I would possibly start helping again.
To anyone saying "Nooo, the new players will be..." There are no new players in there, it's half empty and they'll learn more playing against other people in freebie gear, than running slowly to an objective, hacking it and waiting 10 minutes for the game to end anyway...

These events are usually for new players so I assume so.

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.

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.

I don't see any language in his statement which leaves out Academy. Academy is pubs - there is no friendly fire - it's not specifically ruled out.
A good idea would then be to create new characters to kill/die in massive numbers in these Academy battles. I know for sure what I'll be doing once I get my 6 wins.
Please buff my Magsex. It doesn't hit hard enough...

Have you or anyone else considered setting up a simple Red Vs Blue war? Have 2 corps made, fill them full of everyone you can in the academy, hell even invite new players and then sync up and against each other?

But if suicide counts, all of us could get those starter fits and suicide until we hit the 5mil?
Always report to tomorrow what you can do today, because you might not have to do it anymore tomorrow.

In the meantime, you get around 3 academy matches each character before being thrown to the wolves (aka General Pubs).

I was thinking more along the lines of just a chat group. People can join and leave as they please, with large enough groups of people all deciding when to sync into the battles. Random solo teams with everyone ignoring the objective and choosing some spot in the middle of the map to go all WW1 at each other, just climb over and run screaming and shooting into the enemy fire. |
