Our PFC district is rarely not under attack, we're quite popular. And then it would deprive our US side of a good practice ground.

(I miss corp battles.)

You could just attack another district during an appropriately set EU timer. GAC, Nyan San, WTF, SI, they all have one. Furthermore if you know another corp on PFC that has an EU division you could get in touch with them and change your timer for the fight to accomodate your players.

The more complicated we make it, the greater chance it doesn't succeed.

If u have a district, u only use clones on that planet

If u have a district, you should have your own players to play, with exceptions

If u have a district, you need to be active.... 1-2 matches/week or more

Honestly that's it. We get 24 corps to do this fight club will be nonstop fun

Already 10 or so that are doing great.

Ill admit I was skeptical when IE moved there but I have been thoroughly pleased with their activity

.....using as intended. +1 IE

Some people consider alliance members "your own players," others feel that only those with the corp tag are considered "your own players." The only reason I'm asking is for Independents. If they can only participate in PFC--without getting "in trouble"--is for them to have to field 16, then that's something they should know.

Look it up on google under videos...man challenge

Random people from a public channel are not "your own players". Doesn't get much simpler than that.

Hahahaha done and done. Sadly I've seen much, much worse.

Fine when I get home I will aswell but not at work lmao I hear 2 girls 1 cup is as sexy as it gets

every single person starts off as a random; it doesn't matter if they're in an alliance or not. i could have great relationships with guys in the ICN channel--played a ton of pub matches with them--but simply because we don't share an extra tag under our corp name somehow diminishes that relationship?

however, if Top Men or EoN gets a new recruit in one of the alliance corps, he/she can participate in PFC simply because they joined a corp in an alliance.

How does that make sense?

Yes this, for most part (kobrah u sick puppy) this remains a productive conversation. There is obviously a lot of input regarding 'who' is to participate in matches. We have agreed alliance is acceptable, which leaves the independents at a potential numbers disadvantage. This independent chat has been suggested, but I still see this as an unlikely solution in and of itself.

I am personally impartial on the topic as IDGAF who plays against us. At the same time this is an important issue as there are mixed feelings from various people on the subject,

The mere fact that fight club matches mean nothihg about winning or losing, but about just playing pc matches and getting experience, goes a long way in addressing the personnel question.

I agree if u aren't using your own people you really aren't helping your teamwork/chemistry/ preparation for moving into the rest of molden heath.

At the same time, numbers can be an issue at any moment, for anyone

Alliances have other corpss to choose fron, independents have nothing in this regard

Any other ideas that could resolve this?

This discussion has come about because an indie corp has attacked the NEWM district and has asked for help from other indie corps in the ICN channel. The initial corp does not have a district on fight club and will be attacking via clone pack. The dilemma is that SE7N is part of the ICN and does own a PFC district. Which may make us violate this rule if we offer assistance to the Indie corp. SE7N and NEWM have some history and that may be why this discussion is happening. Not sure...

If you can drink an entire chocolate milkshake while watching that video, you are a real man.

Well, we've been attacked on PFC by 11/16 ringers. So... par for the course.

Indies need love too...

So, you're saying EoN players (or anyone else) are allowed to fully violate PFC rules? As long as the clones don't originate from PFC? And that a resident corp's members can not only break PFC rules, but that resident won't be putting their own district at risk?

Well we certainly didn't show them any in that PFC match

And not to mention 4 of them were in 187...

Good! lessons learned the hard way are some of the best lessons learned! 187 has gone independent you know. An organized team should be able to defeat a ragtag group of Independents any day. I discouraged SE7N mercs to participate but in the end it was up to them. Hope you all had fun.

Now back on topic.

The problem with saying "we don't care where the attacks originate, or who rings in them" just means that anyone can attack PFC districts with ringers. They just have to use a dummy corp, with one guy to bring all the people from such and such other corp in. It's basically you saying Murder Cakes behavior is okay on PFC.
