Assembly Hall

*From memory*
C-Eve had an anniversary race type thing where GMs made a race course with large T2 bubbles and various obstacles (think belts). Players would then enter the track for duels or as teams .. once scrambled by bubbles there were no rules other than whatever limits were announced regarding mods and such.

Was a grainy video once upon a time, but I'll be damned if I can find it ..

That was made from what they had on hand, if done with Dev support the sky is the limit when it comes to how elaborate it can be made, also allows it to be made into a semi permanent feature.

Straight up duelling or arena type fighting akin to the CCP Giftshop For Nullbears Tournament is lame beyond comprehension and would be abused/broken/exploited after a week when CCP's ADHD kicks in again. Besides, we can flip cans or make arranged fights whenever and where ever we want (Ex: RvB is basically just a massive ongoing pre-arranged fight(club) complete with rules and regulations).

Not so much gladiatorial arenas as feeding pits/areas for the slaver hounds

No to Arena.


Yes to turning Alliance Tournament into a season and not just a lottery draw.

Honestly, this is a somewhat acceptable idea, with an extremely lazy OP....

To iterate, taking over a C1 Wormhole, and locking it down, during actual gameplay would be an easy way to prepare matches... Your 'asteroid' that you badly need CCP to make for you could indeed just be a can sitting in the middle of a safespot... or hell, just put a ship with a big fancy title in the middle... (put a nag in there, make it look like a central tower xD)

Your idea isn't lacking in any regards, except for the fact that you're too scared or lazy (maybe both) to do it yourself... It's not really that hard to advertise, all you'd have to do is drop cans in every .5-.7 you could find, and you'd get some attention... Advertise on Blink or something, and you're golden...

The actual battles would have to be something more complex than "5v5 T1 frigs"... there's no style in that, that's lame lame lame... maybe if there was a different stipulation added for each match, you'd be able to find some interesting middle ground between lameness and overkill...

Building on your money circulation system, just add a gambling corp, donate to the corp with a message on who you're betting on, and then you have income, (this would obviously have to be somewhat monitored, or matches would get rigged like no other)

You have a good idea, but you lack the mind and effort to actually see it put into action... I wouldn't be surprised to see someone come in here and steal your idea, only to make billions and billions of isk >.>

Laziness is killing you here, because you have 100% of what you need.

Great stuff +1111 from me.
