Attention Mercenaries of New Eden!

Today, the Empress Jamyl announced that on May 31st any first-generation cloned soldier who has not joined her will be considered an enemy of the Empire and issued a decree that any who hunt them down after that date will be rewarded.

In her statement, the empress said, GÇ£My Empire has extended open arms to any who have been inflicted with the terrible curse that is the first generation implants. We understand that they cause great pain, confusion, and suffering on a level that few can know. I empathize with their plight more than any can know. Many have already come to my side and are receiving the help they require. Yet I know there are hundreds, if not thousands, more who remain unsaved. Some remain apart from us out of fear. But do not allow fear to control you. Come to us and you shall find succor.GÇ¥

This is your chance to win favor from the Amarr empress and be well compensated for it. Read on for more information regarding the Templar Manhunt event.

What it is:
The Templar Manhunt event is the very first of its kind. This event will run for 3 days GÇô May 31st, June 1st and June 2nd, which puts you in a role of either a Templar or a Templar Hunter.

How it works:
If you want to become a Templar for these three days, simply post in this thread the following words: GÇ£I wish to hunt, or become the huntedGÇ¥ before downtime on May 30th (we will select 200 people at random). In order to qualify you must have at least one free character slot free on your account. If you are qualified, on May 31st, after the downtime, you will receive unique, Anniversary Edition Templar-geared character, and be ready to jump into Instant battles!

What do you get from the hunt:
Those that choose to hunt down the Templars will receive [2.500.000 ISK] in bounties if they successfully kill (not kill assist) the Templar character 3 times. Kills on Templars by other Templars do not count. The Templars themselves need to play at least 20 public matches (other types of matches do not count) over the course of 3 days and earn total of 20.000 skill points in order to qualify for [300 Amarr Advanced A/1 Dropsuits] of all specializations (Assault, Sentinel and Logistics).

Can I get a mug shot?
