615,507 Souls on the Line. Do you have what it takes? ((T1 Cruiser melee))

Next weekend, let's say 8 days from now, I will be depositing a rather large and rather secure container in-space.

Inside will be 615, 507 'slaves' that I've no more use for. They will have enough supplies to last for a time, but not indefinitely.

Anyone who wishes to save, capture, spare, kill, uplift, blood, what-have-you, should arrive in a cruiser-class ship and fight for the honor of your prize.

Participants can mail me if they choose and location will be released 1 hour prior. Location will be lowsec, and within likely easy travel for the majority of you.

I'll consider it a matter of honor and reputation to play by the rules, of course.

'T1' cruisers.

Any ship modules you like.

Gladiators will enter the system and remove themselves to any location they like. At the designated time I will release the location of the individuals, and all gladiators will enter the field within 30km and remain within 50km of the Container for the duration, until only one pilot and ship remains intact. They will be given the password and may then do as they like with the human chattle.

One pilot per organization, as your champion should be able to represent you quite well I should hope.

Let's see who has what it takes, yes?

That's absolutely disgusting.

Playing with slaves' lives in some sort of gladatorial sport is no way to bring them to Reclamation.

You are certainly welcome to "throw your hat in the ring" if you have a particular destination in mind for them.

Or you could shut up.

What nationality are the slaves? Minmatar Republic?

Excellent initiative. A little over half a million in one go. Doesn't make three million in one go seem so unbelievabe does it? I think for my next and final act, as I am not long for this world, praise God, I will attempt to document the outright slaughter of four million. With live and irrefutable evidence.

Should quiet the naysayers, and bless so many souls with God's grace at once.

Certainly a great number are, but I can assure you most racial groups are quite well represented.

How you divvy up the survivors will entirely be up to you, should you partake of course.

A worthy challenge of skill and combat prowess. I may have to attend this event! It is a shame I cannot yet use T2 medium weaponry...

Your depravity knows no bounds, you sick *****. Even joining such a "competition" to save those in the container would validate you and your barbaric enterprise. I find it hilarious that people brand the Matari as savages, clearly that title is reserved for the likes of you.

I will be informing the U'K council, relevant authorities and your enemies; hopefully they can provide a uniquely personal response.

Often with these sorts of combat situations, it becomes more a game of survival and evasion rather than offensive prowess. Configure your ships accordingly.

That depends entirely on what sort of show we get!

I will of course be broadcasting the feed live to many, many baseliners.

Or you could select a U'K representative and prove your mettle in combat like everyone else. I'd imagine the thought of a single pilot being able to save hundreds of thousands of individuals would be something appealing to your organization. Certainly something to boast about in the U'K mess hall....


As you all might have surmized, it's quite impossible to fit 600,000 slaves into a single giant secure container, I'd need... well quite a few.

There will still be multiple containers filled on-field of course, but the bulk will be nearby and released to the winner.

In other words any foolishness and rule-breaking might land you several thousands of slaves, but the bulk will only go to the legitimate winner.

It's also looking by my calculations (for those more interested in pure profit of course), this group of slaves should fetch roughly half a billion ISK on the Khanid Kingdom market.

Just something to consider.

Nothing. But the containers are password protected, so unless they plan on blasting them then jump-bridging will only cause a disruption to the participants, not the slaves.

If you feel bringing capital ships and bridge backup to a 't1' cruiser extravaganza is warranted then that's on you and yours.

Additionally as the location will not be released until one hour prior a good number of you would have to set up several cyno fields in order to cross such a distance from your home regions.

It might additionally be... unwise to field capital ships during this, but that's just my opinion.

And just so we're clear any particularly egregious violations of my terms that I dislike will likely result in the entire stock being liquidated.

Your creativity my Lady is boundless! ~polite nod~ While I am by no stretch of the imagination a combat pilot, how could anyone resist the possibility of such a windfall at so little risk. While I am not well known perhaps the prospect of shooting me will increase participation with a very select few.

Mr. Syagrius,

Thank you of course. Don't belittle your chances, however. Sometimes being a "low priority" target in this sort of competition has an advantage all its own...
