EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

By that same reasoning we should start including all killmails from Sisi since those are kills aren't they.

Nobody bothered to talk with Hydra / Outbreak about the situation and just jumped the gun by taking in AT9.
Even though no rules were broken at AT9 it was quickly assumed they would break the rules now. Because we all know that everything that happens on Sisi means exactly the same on Tranquility.

If any official would have taken the time to talk with the Hydra / Outbreak CEO's they might have come to a whole other conclusion, Yet they chose not to. Which image they portrayed with that is up to the eye every beholder.
It's an utter sign of weakness that a lot of blue posts got removed. The question rises as why they are removed in the first place.
Yet again a matter of how people wish to look at it.
And this whole situation from A to Z has become a cesspool of vagueness.

The whole cloak and dagger routine doesn't work anymore, but as soon as all cloaks get dropped and daggers put on the table it seems that one side trumps dagger with a hammer.
This isn't the kind of dialogue which got promised after the T20 and after that the Jita riots debacle.

So what is so hard at communicating openly and actually saying sorry if you messed up somewhere.
That goes for all parties involved.

Hydrabreak never broke any rules last year , this year CCP AT representatives chose not to communicate because they are big babbys and then tried coming off all smug, which lead to them getting gagged by people upstairs

Banning both Hydra and Outbreak but only banning PL's B-team is laughable. Why not ban all PL teams, or allow one of hydra/outbreak? Oh wait that would be consistency/fairness and not obvious favouritism, childish grudges and buttmad

This indeed.


You didn't see the latest PL Python inject hacking in past AT's evidence yet, did you? All is cool as long as it stays hidden, I guess.

Exactly.

This ruling is as much of a farce as the hydra/outbreak finale. They were given the go ahead to share tactics and spar against one another - which in and of itself doesn't prove they are working as a single unit and attempting to fix matches. Obviously there's concern that that is what they're up to, which is why I think everyone would support the idea of only one of them being allowed to enter, or merging as one team. Removing them both, after they were explicitly told they were allowed to do what they did, is pathetic. Especially when there are other teams where there are similar concerns (like leadership jumping about between different alliances, both of which are entering as separate entities...) that have been allowed to enter a single team.

Monkeysphere hasn't logged on to EVE in two years and he's still catching suckers - hook, line, sinker - with his Failheap posting.

Hilarious

I agree a single team would be fine but they won't let it happen.

I have a lot of respect for Hydra and Outbreak for there solo and small gang warfare and they are among some of the greatest PvP'ers in the game.

However you fudged up last year, it did ruin it for me personally.

I can not see it happening.

Its also all made up and you're making yourself look like a fool in pubic for believing it but hey, if thats your thing more power to you.

No I'm saying that the PL part is made up.

Try spending 3 to 4 years fighting for the guy who outed CCP for being crooked, and see what kind of microscope you get to live under, then, use every legal game mechanic to stretch the games combat to its absolute limits, including AOE dding a cap ship to death, so that for 2 years straight all CCP does is adjust the game to deal with our particular play style.

At one point they were so disgruntled at us that it took 4 months to get the prize and nearly a year to get our monument put up, and you can bet your ass that if there was the slightest hint of cheating they'd have burned the entire alliance at the stake.

Its funny because we knew they were mad at us so we walked on eggshells for 3 years or more, and when put in the same situation Hyrdra thumbed their nose at CCP and got the reaction we went out of our way to avoid all these years.

this will be the best AT ever
