Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.28 18:51:00 - [1] - Quote Hey guys I wanted to let you know that the CCP guys have reached out to me and are offering some prizes for a "Dust OB" orbital bombardment event. The deal is I think CCP has given enough support here for me to expand this to include even more aspects of the Dust community. The first part that is a certainty is a recording contest for the best raw footage of orbital strikes durning a live corp match. Prizes will be awarded for the best video Eve side and then the best Dust side. Here is where you come in. I'm going to post other options that can be added onto the Orbital Event. You can vote for as many ideas as you like (please only vote for one tournament type aka Corp or Open Teams) and I'll gauge support and work to add them to the event. With your help we're going to turn heads with this thing and make a big splash in New Eden!!!

This will include brackets and will be based off of Corporations entering the tournament. The specifics will be have to fleshed out if this option proves popular.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.28 18:51:00 - [3] - Quote CHARITY DRIVE! Add some streamers in and make proceeds go to Child's Play. Again details will have to be finalized if this proves a popular choice. People still get prizes with this option we'll just also be reaching out to help a good cause. Remember it would be the gaming community that comes to watch the event that would be donating. We provide the entertainment with our gameplay and the viewers would donate.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.28 18:51:00 - [4] - Quote OPEN Beta tournament based on picked TEAMS instead of Corporations. Meet and greet your fellow mercs, make a team, and compete! OPEN TO ALL CORPS OF ALL SIZES. Would include brackets etc. like the Corp option. If this proves popular it will take some lead time to set up how teams will be picked etc.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.28 18:51:00 - [5] - Quote Add EVE side betting. This one is more complicated and must include one of the tournaments, but we've got a few people in the community I know might be able to pull this off. I think if we could allow the Eve side guys to bet on the outcomes for matchs it could really peak interest and draw some big publicity to Dust and even New Eden as a whole. (Think superbowl or FIFA World Cup with people shooting each other). This would also have to be kept clearly separate from the charity option if that shows interest as well. DISCLAIMER all betting would be with ISK. NO AUR, MERC CODES, OR ANY REAL CURRENCY would be allow to be used to make bets.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.28 18:52:00 - [6] - Quote Add DUST side betting. See the above option. Pulling this off would be VERY hard and complicated, but if enough people are interested I think we should try to make it happen. DISCLAIMER all betting would be with ISK. NO AUR, MERC CODES, OR ANY REAL CURRENCY would be allow to be used to make bets.

Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.28 19:02:00 - [9] - Quote I also want you guys to come up with ideas and I'll add some of them to the list to be voted on.

I want to give enough lead time and also work with some corps on who will be publicizing it. I've been talking with ROFL since they had interest in running a tournament.

What's with all this "chairy" talk I hear about all the time on here? I gave at the office. And at Christmas. I don't need to be subjected to that bell ringing in my video games too. Just throwing it out there. Remember it would be the gaming community that comes to watch the event that would be donating. We provide the entertainment with our gameplay and the views would donate.

If this proves popular it will take some lead time to set up how teams will be picked etc. This would be interesting if we did It draft style. Have 16 or so captains pick 10 man teams (10 so you have alts if someone cant make it) I really like this idea If we end up with the open teams option.

This could definitely be an issue and something that would have to be worked out. It may as simple as saying "this is one of the rules of competing". It will be something that needs to be addressed if we end up with the Open Team option.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.28 23:43:00 - [15] - Quote Icy Tiger wrote: Death Race Tournament: 2 Corps arranged by Kain and Other, would pick up the first 14 players, have the winners taken into next brackets, and so on until finals. Race would have each car team allotted 1 gunner and 1 driver (gunner can also step out and rep LAV if needed). Missle turrets are not allowed, railgun and blaster up to advanced tier one only. Dropship support allowed, 1 ship for each team. Icy this would be a pain to pull off, but I think it could be fun. +1

Prizes for the best video of Dust mercs doing a conga-line around one of the maps. With a super bonus prize for anyone who manages to make a successful conga line with 8 dropships. This made me laugh because it reminded me of the time we did the conga line in the MQ before a tourney match. So far it looks like a Corp based tourney is showing the most interest.

I've also put in a request to have this thread stickied.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.29 14:40:00 - [18] - Quote I agree. There were some folks laying the ground work for it for another tournament idea. I'll reach out to them and see if we can get it done for this event. The interest in the betting stuff is a little low at the moment though.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.29 22:30:00 - [19] - Quote I will be finalizing the elements of the event soon and closing votes. If you have any last suggestion or ideas before I move to the next phase get them posted.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2013.01.30 16:05:00 - [20] - Quote Alright guys. I appreciate everyone's input on this. I'm closing voting now and will move to the next phase. We will be having a Corp based tournament that will start February 9th. Start getting your guys organized and I'll be posting details in a new thread.
