In-Game Events and Gatherings

New Eden,


Theomachy is the Greek term for battle of the gods. As capsuleers we are immortals that struggle for power and worth.

Repercussus will be hosting a tournament appropriately named “Theomachy” on CCP’s Singularity Server in an arena that will have celestials and several beacons that may have traps or treasures. Theomachy will consist of up to 400 capsuleers duking it out for 4 hours, utilizing the resources at hand to make allies and destroy enemies. Your objective, is to be the last capsuleer alive.


Theomachy will commence 1900 Eve Time, August 9th 2014


All Participants are to be docked in PVH8-0 at 1900 Eve time August 9th. Participants are to have dropped roles on Singularity by no later than 1900 Eve time August 5th. This is to ensure members can join the hosting corporation of “Ludus Gallicus.”

Traps range from troll fitted ships, Overseer ships blowing your ship up, and NPCs shooting your ship. Otherwise, a celestial or beacon will have beneficial items you will need to ensure an edge over the competition. Beneficial items include but are not limited to.

• Upgraded ships
• Powerful modules
• Scripted events that will hold rewards ranging from max boosting bonus, logistics support for a single engagement and more.

The basic rules are simple.

• There is no podding within the first 5 minutes of the event since all participants will need to find and board ships.
• The Overseers are not authorized to Pod anyone however participants are encouraged.
• If you are podded then you are out of the tournament. Any attempt to rejoin will result in immediate CCP removal.
• Stargates are off limits! Anyone caught on the gates will result in immediate CCP removal.
• Structures are not a viable target; however, mobile tractor units are the exception.
• Also be warned there is a designated scanning team in system that will be scanning anyone who may create a mid-safe within system who may try to avoid combat. Upon recognition you will be removed by CCP.

In the event of a disconnection or Singularity going down. The participants will have 5 minutes to log back in and join the fight. Once the 5 minutes are up, a snap shot of participants in local will be taken. Any additional participants afterwards will be removed.



What are the prizes available? As of right now sponsorships from corporations, alliances, and CCP has allowed Repercussus to ensure a minimal 100 Billion ISK prize pool. Due to these great donations and sponsorships the following prizes will be awarded. These prizes are determined by the final 3 participants alive who will fight to the death to be named champion.

• Third place (The Honorable Mention) will receive 9 PLEX and a Barghest
• Second Place(Almost there) will receive 16 PLEX and a Barghest
• First place (The Champion) will receive 24 PLEX and a Barghest

Furthermore, there will be additional ways to gain prizes. Examples are destroying a designated ship that with high value loot in its cargo, obtain most kills throughout the tournament, etc.

I wish I could join in on the fun, but Repercussus members aren't allowed to enter. That just means more loot for the rest of you!

I cant wait to see all the fun

I don't think anyone will be disappointed, we've had so much fun in house that we had to open it up to the community! =)

1. CCP Leeloo and CCP Falcon are the reps from CCP that are supporting this event, CCP Leeloo is on vacation till the 30th, I do not know if Falcon is on vacation. Tomorrow I expect a response from CCP confirming the event, since it is currently very late in Iceland.
5. Ludus Gallicus is a corporation made on sisi for the purpose of the players to participate. Due to game mechanics, having all the players in the same corporation makes certain aspects of the event run more smoothly and more options for the players.
6. The limited api key is to prove you have a valid and active account on tranquility, since we have a limited number of slots, we can’t have inactive accounts taking up slots used for active players.
7. The amount of resources needed for this event such as fitted ships, posses would make this event astronomical in isk cost that would make it impossible to do on Tranquility. To give you an idea, the players will have over 4,000 fitted ships and various loot containers strewn around the arena.

Question 2, 3 and 4 will be answered by Troyd23 shortly.

We've asked our supporters to add legitimacy to this thread when it is convenient for them or if desired on their end. This thread is a few hours old, and its a bit unrealistic to have them immediately post in support and since they are not organizers, they are not obligated to market the event. They don't want to deal with the headache that is marketing and rightfully so as it is our job as organizers. We just get permission to use their logos as part of our marketing material and advertise the support they have given as part of the marketing campaign.

Since this is all being done through the test server - we can't scam you for any real tranquility gain. So even if they weren't sponsoring this event. We would still be running this event: but at a lower level of sophistication and smaller prizes. So this is a no risk -> everything to gain deal for participants.

The fact we are offering tranquility gains, for a test server event - means our corporation has everything to lose by not following up on the promise of prizes.

We could have the prize stash verified by Chribba (unless invoking his name summons his presence as is the norm) - which shouldn't be too hard and something i'll work to coordinate - but by the time that rolls around this event may already be full as we have 20/400 registrants thus far and calling bullshit/holding off your personal registration will have been in vain ;P

Thank you for the thoughtful questions :)

tldr;

- Supporters will confirm if they feel like it ~ and have been encouraged to do so.
- Chribba verification will be pursued, but it may be too late to register by then :P

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones to see this right after it was posted. Signed up, looking forward to it! I bet the slots get filled fast.

I've asked Mangala to share it with the Ganked mailing list and I'll reach out to Greygal too for Redemption Road. I'm sure we wouldn't mind it if you did the same for Spectre - I would have asked but I've never flown with Spectre before

Thanks Falcon!

Alive - if you have anything specific you want me to add when I send this to Spectre, evemail me the details.

Wow! Almost 1 million m3 in ship prizes, all packaged.
There are going to be some very happy capsuleers at the end of this.
