Thanks a lot Marlona, just recieved my 1000 Rifters Big smile

The event itself was awesome, I liked the point multiplier idea as it gave the event a greater variety (although I only got in on one ship that counted) overheated all my high slots just as the Moros went down and it paid off. Will definitely be attending any future events.

Now what to do with 1000 rifters? I wonder if thats enough to take down a Titan...?

Only one way to find out! Cool

So far it looks like 196 Ships killed (8.86B ISK) destroyed in related kills. Twisted

It has been at least 48 hours to post and API verify the kill mails. I am now beginning the process of figuring out who scored the highest in points. Please bear with me as this will indeed eat up my entire night. Ugh

EDIT: I will update in this post the results of the process:

Night 1: After figuring out how to get eve-kill to do what I want and only display kill mails that were relevant to the event; there were 44 API verified kills during the event in Vlillirier between the times of 18:30 and 19:40 GMT. I also compiled the data from my Moros kill mail and went through and did some detective work to fix the parts that showed players killing me in a capsule and unknown. I did this by doing research into related kills to find out what ship should have been displayed.

After purging all players not in a frigate (noob ships don't count fyi) or destroyer hull from my kill mail or had zero damage; there is 114 players. Down from 153 players on my Moros kill mail.

Congratulations to the winners! I will contract the prizes after I get off work tomorrow. Well past my bed time to do it now and I would run the risk of contracting stuff to the wrong person. lol

I'm curious how you calculated the points. I didn't expect to win anything but I was on 14 kills (plus your dreadnought) and did 6,166 damage. That's 86,324 points (or 92,490 points if the dreadnought km counts, which it appears to (as captain bevier was only on that mail, for instance.))

Edit: Oh, it was the ambiguous wording of the rules. 'If you are on any kill mail with a frigate or destroyer class hull counts as a 1x point multiplier.' should have read: 'For each killmail you are on where the victim is in a frigate/destroyer class hull you will receive an additional 1x point multiplier.'

Oh well, guess I have to be content with getting the first 4 killmails of the event and the highest ISK non-dreadnought killmail of the event.

What makes me giggle is the fact that there was no Rifters on the winning list lol. But the Bombers that just sat back from 100km got all the cool stuff lol.

If the flashies had been sensible and brought sniping corms similar to my set-up those bombers wouldn't have lasted long. But yes, if you know you're not going to get shot at then bombers was definitely the way to go if your objective was to win prizes.

I don't see you on any kill mails. Straight

EDIT: I am guessing you are referring to AkJon Ferguson. I can break it down for you.

There shows 16 kill mails that you were on between 18:30 and 19:40.
1 is actually not API verified, so now it is down to 15 kill mails.
5 are noob ships, which don't count so now it is down to 10 kill mails.
4 are capsules, which don't count so now it is down to 6 kill mails.

You did 6,166 damage with your Cormorant and had no penalties from corp or alliance mates. So 6,166 x 6 = 36,996 total points.

There was surprisingly few people taking out potential competition. I will try and post any statistics I find interesting when I get home tonight. There was two players who were doing very well in the point area only to be disqualified because they were on someone's kill mail using a cruiser/bc after they lost their frigate/destroyer.

As far as people trying to meta-game the point system by farming their alts in noob ships at a safe spot; capsules, shuttles and noob ships did not count as a point multiplier. I should have specifically stated this in the rules, but in being overwhelmed by this being my fist event, I forgot. For that I apologize. I will include those exceptions for the next time.

Can I get a Porking from Star Wars voice over "Almost There" award? I Got to within 4k of my targeting range before I was popped. Bering Flashy Red was not so good for me there. I Tried to get back in a rookie ship only to get popped again. Did not get a chance to come back again as the Dread was dead. Was very funny. I Giggle my little bum off

So you did change the rules retroactively? That's bullshit and shady, but not surprising. Just because you're dishonest, don't assume the rest of us are. All my kills were legit flashies on grid with the dreadnought.

See, this is exactly why CCP shouldn't facilitate these events. When one of these turns out to be a scam, or the rules get changed because the organizer doesn't like who the winner was under the criteria he chose, he just changes the rules. CCP shouldn't facilitate scamming.

I think it's ironic that I get banned for 3 months and posts deleted for calling shenanigans on this guy and then he pulls this weaselly stunt. It sucks to be right all the time.

I never said you were dishonest. Just know that if if I did count the capsules and noob ships you still would not have won anything due to me having to do the same for everyone else. I already said that I was sure I excluded capsules, shuttles and noob ships in the rules, but I forgot. My decision in the winners is final. The only thing I can say is I will make sure that for the next time I will make sure the rules are easier to follow and cover all the exceptions.

This was my first event ever. Cut me some slack for running an event that cost me over 3 billion personally and cost you a T1 destroyer. Straight

Surprising to whom? I told you this would devolve into a flashy vs non-flashy contest. I'm just surprised so many pirates are scrubs who showed up in short-range frigates/destroyers. Two squads of flashy sniper cormorants could have sent all the carebears packing.

You strongly implied it with the 'meta-gamers killing alts at safespots' line. I didn't see any evidence of anyone trying to meta your event.

Slack cut.
