In-Game Events and Gatherings

The system is

Tendhyes


Hi guys, once again it's approaching the time for me to spread some Christmas cheer.

Greetings all,

On Dec 14th, 2016, I will host the fifth annual Christmas giveaway event in a system to be announced at a later date.

the first event was in 2012 and we have held the event each year since then.

Each year, the people who help or donate, or even just come and enjoy the fun makes it a truly special time in New Eden when it seems that disputes and hostilities are set aside for a single evening in favor of fun, laughter and of course "Gift Giving".
For those who were here last year, I Will be flying around New Eden (between now and the time of the event) in my beautifully skinned sleigh provided by the group who attended last year's event, and I might just jettison a can with something valuable inside it, a little teaser for you all.



The planned events for this year are:
(in no particular order)

1. The Annual battle (details to be released later)

2. The "Ship Scramble" where pilots will be given "some" warning to be ready and one of my helpers will leave (or jettison) a fully fit ship out in space generally within sight of the station (but not warp to range) and pilots will scramble to be the first one into the ship to claim it. this event will be repeated throughout the evening based on the number of people who show up in the system and the number of fitted ships we have that evening.

3. A "Can Hunt" where some pilots can put their scanning skills to good use to locate a can (its really going to be a ship named "can"... shhhhh) in space that will contain a prize.

4. Cansplosion!!!!! I'll left you folks guess about this one *wink*. Hint: you don't blow up the cans (due to some issues with suspect timers last year, we may come up with something else to replace cansplosion this year)

5. Frigate races for a prize... (self explanatory I hope)

Giveaways in station, giveaways in local, conga lines, EvE trivia and more are all awaiting this year's attendees.

Each year, my main and his corp have provided items for this event, and each year the event has been made more than what it would have been by those of you who have donated to the cause, so, if anyone would like to donate items, ships, or even iskies toward the event, please feel free to send or contract them to me.

As was the rule last year, please make sure that the item is in .5 or higher security systems (not high sec islands please) and the folks who have offered to haul them to the event site for me will do so.
as always, I have no intention of keeping items or isks for myself and should the case arise where there are extra things, they will carry over to the following year's event.

That is all for now.

o/ everyone and Fly safe.

PS.
If the forum Mods could un-stick last year's post and stick this one?, it would be great

SIgnup is open, send an in-game mail to me with your toon's name, race and Clone state (ie Alpha, or Omega)

20 Alphas will be selected as 5x Pilots from each race, each pilot will be given a pre-fit frigate from their race.
The battles will be in the duel format, single elimination with the winner of each battle advancing to the next round.

20 Omegas will be selected as 5x Pilots from each race, each Pilot will be given a pre-fit "Venture" with the fit being representative of their race.
The battles will be in the duel format, single elimination with the winner of each battle advancing to the next round.

"IN NO CASE IS THE SHIP'S FIT TO BE MODIFIED"

AFTER EACH BATTLE, THE WINNING PILOT WILL NEED TO GIVE THEIR SHIP TO THE JUDGE WHO WILL BE ON THE SIDELINES.
The judge will board the ship to look at it's fit and will then eject from the ship so that the pilot can re-enter the ship. the Alpha battle will be the first one to take place, then the omega battle will happen.

Prizes are as follows

1st place:
Alphas: 1x Plex, 1 pirate faction rookie ship

Omegas:
The choice of an Astrahus, or a plex
Choice of one "Pirate Faction Rookie Ship"
And the choice of either an Omen, Oracle, or Abaddon "Imperial Armaments" Skin.

2nd Place:
Alphas: One Plex

Omegas:
A plex, and the choice of one "Pirate Faction Rookie Ship"
