Greetings!

An Ex-Tusker, I Legionnaire was in the process of quitting the game due to RL reasons and had donated ~13B worth of ISK & ships to use to encourage new players to try out PvP. We spent a considerable amount of this ISK on the first Frigate FFA, which by all accounts was a roaring success, as well as the second. Out of that 13B, we have 7B left. We will be spending it all on Round 3!

The rules for the event remain the same as Round #2, but we will be mixing things up with more "mini-events" occurring throughout the event. The location of the the frigate FFA is Jovainnon

The event will take place on Saturday, 4th May from 18:00 to 24:00 Evetime. Feel free to engage anything that lands on grid with you, including your alliance mates, blues & corpmates - they are ALL fair game. I would appreciate if you would not shoot the Tusker Defence fleet which will be patrolling the event to ensure that the rules are followed.

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. Neither the list of prizes or their associated requirements to achieving them will be told until after the end when the winners are announced, in order to prevent people trying to game the contest rather than simply slaughtering everything they find (or not....). Note that the best prizes will only be available for young characters (for this purpose, these are defined as characters who are less than 1 year old). Prizes will be contracted in Jita to the winners within a week of the event ending.

Any donations to the prize pool are most welcome - please contract them to me (Suleiman Shouaa) & send me an short evemail so I know why I'm getting random items.

There are a few restrictions in place to ensure everyone has a good time, namely.....

  • No link alts allowed - any detected will be found & destroyed, with their main being exempt from receiving any prizes.
  • Intentionally teaming up with someone else is not allowed - FFA stands for Free For All!
  • No podding of other participants
  • ONLY Tech 1 Frigate hulls are allowed until 21:00, after which time any Frigate or Destroyer hull is allowed.
  • You are allowed to warp off, but you can't warp to safe spots or stargates, hence you need to carry a disruptor or scrambler to prevent the enemy from escaping!
  • No cloaks are permitted.
  • Reshipping is allowed and encouraged! We will have an assortment of fitted ships available for people, including both Destroyers & Frigates. No sign up is required.
  • ECM is disallowed, both in the form of the drones or modules. Other Ewar such as Sensor Dampeners are allowed.

If you wish to bring your own ships to the event, I suggest making use of Black Frog Hauling.

We will be giving out our Mumble server details just before the event kicks off if you want to chat with us whilst we (and you!) are dying gloriously.

See you there!

Event Killboard is here, you must post ALL your kills & losses there in order to be eligible for a prize. The Ingame channel has been setup - "Tusker Frigate FFA #3". Please join for the latest news.

Disclaimers:
1. Any and all rules are subject to change and will be noted in a changelog as a reply to this post.
2. If I feel you are violating the spirit of the event (namely many, many tiny explosions), you may become ineligible to receiving any prizes.
