EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

I understand you concern about standings not allowing all players to take part. Unfortunately, this is a Lore-lead event. As such, the standing restrictions are essential.


Why Good Amarr Standings are Essential
This is due to player who take part in this event are directly affecting who will be come the next leader of the Faction. As such, Players with bad standing represent their loyalty to forces which are openly against the Empire. (aka Terrorist!) These forces have no place in this process.

The argument for "No standings" is the same argument that it's okay for a non-American citizen who is a part of ISIS can come visit and vote in a Presidential Election. :)

I've reviewed records from the First Amarrian Championships (2013). Players at that time were required to be of Amarr origin. The fact that a player only is required to have good standings with Amarr is quite permissive.


If you have Bad Amarr Standings
I doubt that they're going to use standings as of now. So if you want to take part in this event but don't have good Amarr Standings, you do have some time to work on this. The grind shouldn't be that bad as we've been told "Good" standings (Though I recommend getting to 1.0, with out skill boosting just to be safe!)

If this was my situation here's what I be doing:

1. Time to come visit Amarr space and Mission run to get your standings up.
2. If you choose to do The Sisters of Eve's Epic Arc, You choose a faction in the last combat mission to work with. There is a good bump in standings with the faction you pick. So go Amarr.
3. Look at your social skills & Consider if you need to pick up a few levels.
Eve-Uni has a great document that covers all of the skills.

So, run one storyline mission and you will have positive standings to Amarr.

The Dust community requests you try to include them as many are in the works now to secure skarkon it is heavily involved in Emperean Age, is in Molden Heath and has 5 districts (for the 5 heirs) on one planet.

It has been 2 years since lore was incorporated the "Rouge Wedding" done to that community is overall forgiven but not including them yet again is a concern to many as it would alienate about 10 percent of a loyal population within the game.

I am so keen to see this. Hopefully the Khanid are included in the trials - but if not I will be cheering for another heir :D

If Khanid are included I am TOTALLY in xD

regardless CCP, good move :D

There are five heirs; one for each royal house. The houses are Sarum, Kor-Azor, Kador, Tash-Murkon, and Adishapur, in no particular order. The Heirs are Merimeth Sarum, Ariticio Kor-Azor, Uriam Kador, Catiz Tash-Murkon, and Yonis Adishapur, respectively.

Max will have no horse in this race unless he tries to crash the party.

I have a feeling there's been a bit of a misunderstanding here. The statement is about you nominating additional people to be considered for the throne in the contest (I've changed the wording in the OP to make it clearer). You will be able to choose which heir you wish to offer your services to (though of course being selected by them is another matter entirely).

Unmodified.

I too would like to know more about this event. Additionally, will this be a team tournament? Or 1v1's?

Do you have to have high standing? or a low 0.01 count ?

Is the Malice or Vangel permitted? It is kind of a special case but they would dominate any kind of 1v1 tournament due to the unique bonuses.
