Mister Hunt Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 230	Posted - 2012.10.24 15:29:00 - [1] - Quote The "official" rules Rules Here is a link to the violation Official CCP Post The problem comes in where they state that it is the first 16 teams. Then they make another post about them being full on the NA spots, including the reserve slots, and them needing more EU teams. Tritan Industries had already sent in their entry, now they aren't on the list because CCP changed the rules after the fact? edit Basically I am asking what is the rule? What is in the sticky and on the actual website? Or a post that is buried back on page 3?

No where in there does it say ANYTHING about regions. They changed the rules after the fact. You sound a little butthurt you didn't get in.. So what if I am? I know for a FACT that our app was sent in before the call for more EU teams was placed. Why is this hard for you to understand? Several teams (the post in question mentioned several on standby) were removed from contention in clear violation of the stated rules. This undermines the credibility of CCP for running a fair tournament, and with a $10,000 tournament on Eve getting ready to happen, their credibility matters immensely.

Honestly you are only on the forums QQing about it in the hopes of CCP amending their decision, but wouldn't that be going against their rules also, and wouldn't that in turn allow for any corps that get removed because of it to also QQ about getting dropkicked out because of this. Get over it and try and enjoy the game. This does not say anything about CCP's credibility just about your poor ability to receive bad news. I'm sorry you and your corp didn't get in, try again for the next tournament. I am not asking them to amend their rules. I am asking that they go by the official rules and look at the timestamps on the submitted emails. First 16 get in. If Tritan or STB weren't first 16, fine by me. But them going back later and making a non-sticky that gets booted off first page because it can't be bumped calling for people to resubmit their apps because they decided to change the rules is pretty stupid. And $10,000 tournament coming up SHOULD make them worry a lot about how they look.

Don't be that guy. I'd say its completely fair to be requesting an explanation as well as to be upset, people have put a lot of time and thought into preparing for this tournament. Honestly it has less to do with which side of the fence I'm on as my military background that tells me that's the way it is and get over it. Not trying to be rude on here just stating why he is on the forums, everyone knows he's just trying to get CCP to change their mind by building support on these forums. If CCP does change their mind and mix everything up from what it is that will say more about CCP than if they just tell him and his corp to get over it and try next time. They are the devs and it's their decision to make, so let THEM make it. I'm curious as to how your military background has anything to do with this, just as mine does not either. As far as to why I'm on the forums, you are right. I want the decision changed. I will say this though, I won't be in the tourny regardless of their decision. I have to work on the weekends, so already knew that I wouldn't be participating. I care because there is a $10,000 Eve tournament coming up and would hate to see them swoop in at last minute and feel they could change the rules at last minute there too and still have any sort of credibility left.

As far as being professional, that is all a matter of perspective, as you can look at your original reply and see where you weren't exactly very professional either. Being unprofessional would be me coming on here threatening, cursing, or something of the sort. I have done nothing but speak in complete sentences with proper spelling even. You came into my post using internet terminology commonly referred to as "leet speak". And for future reference, I have attempted to contact them via email and Twitter as well. The company has refused to respond in any way. This only serves to fuel the speculation that something is amiss. Were they just mad at STB? Did Tritan just fail to send in their application in time? Who knows? Why? Because CCP is not being open and honest with their player base.

Please don't fuel the fire and let's keep this directed at CCP. Thanks. Understood. I need to head off to bed anyway, have a long night at work ahead of me.
