In-Game Events and Gatherings

Due to the feedback, we're not going to offer Logistics to the fight system. Instead, we'll announce it a bit more ahead of time so people have more time to move their own stuff there. We will still provide free ships however.

I think the policing went quite well - only a few people actually shot at us and most seemed to realise what we were doing.



Your corpmates were definitely in a fleet, hence your entire corp/alliance were valid targets for our policing force. If you want to complain about this, complain about your corpmates that brought Basilisks + Tier3s to top belt, as well as running around in frigate gangs.

Also, I am laughing at the suggestions that I did this for a blapfest. I got 62 kills during the entire event and seeing as I was there for the entire 6 hours, that works out to a kill every 6 minutes. Hardly a blapfest with the number of potential targets running around. Not to mention that the vast majority of those kills were SP-DR and FIGL, both of which were flying around in gangs as I mentioned before.



There's pretty much nothing that we can do to stop people forming fleets unless if we had everyone in one big fleet so it was even.

As for running them in a wormhole, sorry but no. The Logistics would be much, much harder for getting ships in. Not to mention how much more difficult reshipping would be. Also, shoving 250+ pilots into a single wormhole with all of them in Frigates / Destroyers with a few haulers in them is a very tempting target that can't massively defend themselves...

Null sec is still being considered, but I haven't found a null sec system that is

A) Very small, so everything is in d-scan range (makes it easy to get fights as well as spot boosting alts)
B) Is very close to low/high sec.
C) Entrance is not camped
D) Has no major entities living in that system

Also, bombs + bubbles make null sec very dodgy to hold frigate FFAs in.

I am thinking that the KB has all the kills its gonna get, even evekill only has 250 or so more than the event KB does.

Take your time, we're in no particular hurry.

I get it bro...great books.

After considering the cost of prizes and how much money we have left for future events from the original sum that Legionnaire gave us, I've decided not to hand out prizes as otherwise we wouldn't be able to afford the 3rd FFA. Apologies for how long it took to reach this decision, but I would rather have a proper 3rd FFA rather than prizes + half a FFA.

EDIT: I've just received an donation from someone who wishes to remain anoymous in order to fund prizes. They will be contracted out within the next 24 hours.

What about a list of the lucky capsuleers that got the prizes? Some fame would not do them any harm.

Great job with the prizes. They're an integral part of any such event and you obviously put some thought and effort into them. That you were willing to forego prizes entirely might indicate a more worthy recipient of the "Lacks honour, must find it" prize, though.

If refraining from giving me my noobships will allow you to hold the next event, then please, by all means, do so.

As for the rest of your rant, my word means something in this game, if yours doesn't, that's up to you. Let me refresh your memory: "A multitude of prizes will once again be available, ranging from Tech 1 Frigates to Faction Battleships, as well as a few oddballs thrown in there for good measure. " People showed up because the Tuskers is a respected corp in this game. If you want to tarnish that legacy by making excuses and welching on pledges you've made when people would have been glad to step up with logistics help or donations (Sindel is practically begging to find worthy causes to donate to and Somer is ridiculously philanthropic fwiu) if you had only asked (not that any reasonable person would consider a 4.333B ISK budget for a frigate FFA (including prizes) insufficient,) that's on you.

This was a great event and even if problems were bound to appear given the complexity, big number of people attending/logistic issues, Suleiman and his crew handled things very well and i am sure they deserve every bit of gratitude from the players that participated and had lots of fun there. Even CCP would have had a hard time organizing and handling such an event better.
In the end it was a crazy event(good kind of crazy) where we all managed to have fun and enjoy piloting/shooting internet spaceships() and it would have been the same even without prizes, although for sure they add a fine touch to the overall picture. So props to Suleiman and the Tuskers for their hard work and see you at the next FFA.

PS: even with the occasional logistic trouble, the idea of offering freighter transport for player ships is great and should not be discarded easily;how else would i have brough in system all my 40 ships without your help? worst acceptable case scenario would be that you Tuskers, as event organizers speak to the people at Red/Blue/whatever color Frog and get them to give some attention to the people attending the event, so we can get ships in system in a timely manner without too much trouble/responsability on the side of the Tuskers(so no more people mad at you for Red Frog people fuckups) - i and probably many more players would not mind paying for ships being moved to the staging system;

PPS: now expecting my prizes like a child waits for Santa's gifts
