Last night's FFA was a really awesome event Tuskers. Thanks for brining so many young players (that are not in gunless tankey frigates) to low security space!

Thank you Tuskers! That was one of the fastest, craziest, most fun four hours I've ever had in any game, let alone EVE. Shame I had no time to watch Local for the events, I was busy getting used to a crowded overview, being drunk in charge of a spaceship, and trying to avoid warping to sentry guns. I did manage to follow the Mumble crowd down to the sun at the end.

As a 4 and a half month old account I found it a great way to try out fits and tactics that I otherwise would have spent months learning in depressing 1 vs 1 fight losses and pods. I think I've learnt a lot. We'll see once my hangover clears, maybe I'll just have nightmares about top belt chaos for ever. If the aim was to boost noobs along the frigate PVP path then you've succeeded. I'm at least 2% less noobish than before

Thanks to everyone who joined in, thanks to everyone who had time for noob questions and o7 to the party in Mumble.

Kudos to the 99.9% of people who followed the no podding "rule". I think it got people back into the fights quicker and helped cause the huge brawls.

Time to start saving another 100 million for the next one. Hopefully next time I'll get more/better kills!

Again, Tuskers, o7

All those explosions in space and the love in local made me a happy spaceship captain. Also, Wave, tirelessly handing out ships at top station, deserves an honorable mention!

Oh, You Roll

The event was awesome though, it was well organised, and a hell of a lot of fun. Can't wait for the next one!

I was so excited when I logged in today and saw the message about the crazy FFFA. I immediately started planning so I could get my ships out there. You can only imagine my disappointment when I read the forum further and it dawned on me that this all happened... yesterday.

Just Frig It.

Awesome night, big thanks to I Legionnaire and the Tuskers for making it all happen.

In terms of feed back for future events, I think limiting ships to tech 1 only for the duration might be an idea, as this would help keep fights competitive between newer and older players.

I'm still waiting for more of the killmails to be posted on the RvB Ganked Killboard - Dotlan says there were about 1800 kills due to the event, with the vast majority of them presumably being frigate kills. However, the RvB killboard only has 984 kills posted there.

So please, double check that you've posted ALL your killmails & lossmails there. Password is "tuskersffa".

This was cool. It's good to know that my rail incursus is still easily the best frigate. The blobbers on mumble disappointed me somewhat, as did the no-fun linkfags.

As a representative of the louder guys on Mumble, I am pretty sure we had a bloody good time - whether we blobbed or not is all in the eyes of the beholder. Regardless of that, really enjoyed myself last night.

Short of folks posting their own, or giving me a 3 day timer'd kill log api + id each, its going to take a while to get them all. :(

The new EPIC feed whatsit that evekill are fawning over, doesnt play with EDK setups otherwise they would be all there right now ;)

PS: Ive removed the kb pass, I have a roam tonight that also uses the board and my pilots get confused really easily ;)

No worries. After work tomorrow I'll have a look at the kb and figure out who to give prizes to. Any chance of getting raw stats of the campaign? Will make my work easier.

I had an absolute blast at the event. Stayed the whole time which I didn't think I would since I only had time/isk to put together two ships.

I can't imagine how many free ships I was given and subsequently lost but I am really grateful for the opportunity. I've only played for two months but this was definitely the best experience I've had so far, even if being in Test got me a bit of flak.

If anything I've got a better idea of what area of play I really enjoy. Time to rethink my place in the 'verse.

Many thanks to Suleiman for organizing this event, I basically threw ships and ISK at him and asked him to make something happen. I think all who participated can agree with me when I say that he did a fantastic job.

Apparently I can't delete the post I just made where I showed my ignorance by not realising I'd already missed this event! So I'll just edit it instead.
