EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Mail me if you're interested.

We are looking for a sparring partner.

Join atxi_pub on Duality. We will be hanging around there.

How much ISK on TQ would you pay, and what would the reward be if you end up winning or second?

I am a sparring partner:
- bringing whole setups/doctrines (some of them you wouldn't expect)
- FCing them (with tactics you might not have thought of)
- who can fly/lead specific setups you want to train against
- who can proofread your setups and suggest improvements
- bringing some pilots but not a full team (so some of your pilots can come and bring back useful info to your main team/FC)
- available most days from 12:00 to 1:00
- will follow AT and help the team accordingly

Also:
- not participating in AT this year.
- not the slightest interest in politics or 0.0
- already sparring with another team (you can trust me 100% not to disclose any info to anyone, but keep in mind that they saw my setups too and trained against them.)
- TEST team and this team won't fight in the tourny before their 5th match, (earlier possibility), and more probably the 7th match (on average given the possible paths in the brackets).
- If both teams keep winning until they fight each other, they will end 1st and second and meet first on bracket 123 (cf. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=255379 ).


Eve mail me on TQ (NOT on duality) with serious offer or any question you might have. (Even if you are from another team than TEST).

I too can write words on forums about how great I am, and I'll be 10% cheaper than this guy.

It's not so much what you are offering or how trustworthy you are. It is more about who you are, and what your track record of success is. If you are someone we know and respect there is potential, however we probably couldn't afford you.

Nice, we are also lowsec anti-pirates, sometimes we also RP in local.

Vouching your services.

btw do you know Timothy?

From what I've seen of your setups, I think I could surprise you ;-)

Besides, it would be safer than training with Outbreak again... :p

No I'm not, but you can do a bit of research :)
You will find no direct affiliation to anyone but my current alliance -no participating this year- and the other -smaller- team I already spare with.
Which you won't meet until 4th match (and most probably later than that), and if both of you keep winning you'll end up 1st and 2nd, obviously.

It could be a problem if I were not honest. But I am (too much, some would say).

I'm helping them as friend, and would like to help someone else for money (hard to make a living out of small gang pvp).
I have no interest in losing a friend or an ISK income, so I will keep the two separate. Only thing is, both of you would train against my setups, if you replicate them, the other team will have trained against them.

Just give it a try with these setups of yours that are already public, if you think I'm not providing enough challenge we can stop at that.

Most of your team is pirate and I don't care. I know who you are: enemies I respect on TQ, providing good fights with interesting ships, some of your pilots are inspirations to us all regarding solo or small gang pvp, and your AT team is already one of the very best.

I'm not willing to post any of my setups on a public forum, especially not the original ones, and a simple variation of a classic setup is not that interesting to show you, in my opinion. You won't see any of my setups unless you sign for a first training session.
I can also proofread your setups (or at least give my thoughts on them. And since the key ships of 10 of your setups are public, you don't risk much), and give comments on logs+fraps of a fight.

I'm sending you an evemail with the name of the captain of the team I already spar with. True, he is an ally of mine on TQ, but you might know him and have some trust in his judgment nonetheless, who knows.

And by the way, are you just trolling? :-) If so it's a success, I'm genuinely puzzled!
Hydra, of all alliances, asking for a sparring partner really surprises me. But I might as well be mistaken, since you cannot spy on other teams' trainings as effectively as in the past, you might just want to win and consider anything that could help you, be it only a "new" eye on things and the opportunity to train against someone who thinks differently (and who you can trust not to reveal any of your secrets).
