Event cancelled for now.

I did not realize it till it was pointed out, but this event simply would cater to the rich with the whole buying a runner slot. I lost sight of one of the goals of my events I want to do and the main one is to keep it low entry for skill point and financial backing.

I am going back to the drawing board to start over and rethink how to do this type of event. Sorry for thread.

Feel free to eve-mail me any ideas or aspects you would like to see for an event.

ArrowWhat ships are allowed?
  • Any frigate except for the following: Freki, Gold Magnate, Malice, Silver Magnate, Utu, Apotheosis, Echelon, Zephyr, Ibis, Reaper, Velator, Impairor and the 12 ships banned by the Trollations.

    • ...

    [b]ArrowCan I change ships and what happens if I get disconnected?
  • All beer runners will be in MY fleet where I can monitor what ship they are flying. If their ship changes to anything other than a frigate or a banned frigate, they are disqualified.

    • ...



    So what is the point of the banned frigs again?

    Not 100% positive but shouldn't this be in the sell order forum as its a contest?

    Most likely Events and Gatherings forum which I thought I posted in. If a forum moderator is reading this, please move it there.

    It means the beer runners are not allowed to use that ship. So if you are one of the top 12 donators and you can't stand Crows; you can ban the Crow. There is 37 frigates available to fly for this event and there will be 25 after the 12 donator bans; provided they don't double up on a ban.

    Using the example of the Crow in a previous post; if the Crow is banned and a beer runner hops into a Crow during the event, they are disqualified. It is hardly contradicting.

    Hi Marlona,

    I think what SamTheTrader means is that it is ambiguous rather than contradictory. It is obvious what you intend to mean:

    that the runner can change to any frigate other than a banned frigate

    but it "If their ship changes to anything other than a frigate or a banned frigate" could be read as saying you can change to a banned frigate.

    It's a bit picky TBH but w/e.

    Sounds like it could be a fun event :)

    I changed it to: "If they change into a ship that is not allowed, they will be disqualified." That should cover it. Big smile
