You could call it "Festivus".

Be careful in Pulsar systems, you might get Pod Flu.

Big smile Thrilling to behold! Think of the viewership CCP could generate by live broadcasting a mining fleet, or a freighter race. Must...align...faster!

  • Fastest attack on a 10/10 plex or incursion site - Could be legit, given certain restrictions
  • Fastest delivery of courier packages, both regular and jump freighter - 100% based on trained skills, who can light a cyno faster
  • Fastest salvage of a field of wrecks - 100% based on trained skills
  • Fastest probing down of a group of anomalies - Could be legit, mostly trained skills but some player technique involved
  • Fastest gathering of resources to produce certain items, or who can build the most in a given amount of time - 98% trained skill based
  • Fastest mining of a belt - 100% trained skill based


PvP tournaments work because although a large part of PvP is trained skills, most of it comes down to player skill. Skill at fitting, skill at creating an effective fleet composition, skill at FC, skill at manual piloting.
Most of the things that you posted do not involve and player skill, only trained skills and effectively boil down to "More SP wins"

hahaha oh god, that made me laugh in real life, we should get one of those japanese football commentators "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL" everytime something exciting happens, chuck him in with MBIII. that'd be fun to watch.

on a serious note, no.

Everything you just listed is boring as ****, and that's not because i pvp, it's because i've done all of them, They're not something a large viewer base will ever watch, unless you get the japanese guy.
They're also terribly uncompetative.

Dude if you don't put the sarcasm tag at the end he will think you're being serious.

Oh dear God I hope you aren't being serious. Shocked

While a great idea it would really be a waste of money because if he had to wait until something exciting happened before he could say it..... Well I don't remember the last time something happened when I was hauling a freighter that could be considered "exciting".

You lack imagination. Try miner bowling. Using 100mwd tengu/loki, who can displace the most miners and send a miner tge furthest in one bump? Miner bowling!

There is nothing I would rather watch LESS, not nothing I would rather watch.

I mined for primary income for the first 8 months of my EVE career. I sometimes still mine. It is not something that is fun. It is, at best, 'relaxing'. That does not make for good television, basically.

How about a competition to see who can get abused the most in local after ganking someone? I think it would be good for giggles Twisted

Regardless whether the OP is trolling or serious, I'd like to see a tourney that:

1) doesn't cost upwards of $300 to participate.

2) accounts for major holiday disruption in a primary subscriber locale.

What, afraid you can't make that Kessel run in 12 parsecs?

Seriously though, I thought all activities in Eve were, by definition, PvP?

How can you accomplish #2? Brits are a primary subscriber locale, but they have a bank holiday every week! Lol

As for 1, you need some method of preventing everyone from joining. Plexes are actually a smart idea. Some groups will buy plex with isk, but far more will say screw it, pool resources and buy the plex outright. CCP makes money and could seed the olex back to the market, reducing plex prices. Or they could just use the cash to help cover their end of the tourney such as commentators, setup, reinforced node for the tourney, etc. Just because ownage is putting up the prize money doesn't mean.they are paying all expenses. Both groups have to invest some money in the hopes of drawing in new customers. (ownage is hoping more viewers from eve start watching other events, increasing their viewer pool, and ccp is hoping other gamers who watch become interested in eve.)

What? No ship spinning tourney idea?

I am disappoint.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

No .01 ISKing competition either? Or is that too much hardcore pvp for you?
