EVE General Discussion

o7 on posting, clarifying, and owning up to a vaguery/mistake. And for organizing and hosting the event at all. I've organized MMO competitions before, and it's tough to foresee every possible situation that might come up. It's an MMO world after all-- many individuals doing complex interactions, within the hardline micro-restrictions of the game's mechanics. It's hard to foresee every possible issue that might arise.

Too bad about the misunderstanding in this case, but o7 for the time and work of hosting the event. It can be kind of a thankless job.

I am the DeathRace organizer for The Tuskers.

This week I have personally given away over 10b in ISK and Prizes to our winners and award recipients.

I have addressed Finger Puppet on my blog, in chat and in private emails.

HIs wreck was 9k from the Finish Line.

He deserves all the credit in the world for being one of the first to enter the final system and for staying alive as long as he did. For this action I decided to award him an "Honorable Mention" on the prize post. As I informed him previously, we were even planning on putting something together for him in appreciation of his efforts. That is, before he started going public.

I made the call. As I did with each and every one of the prizes awarded. The rest of my Corp m8s back me up.

As was stated many, many times. The decision of the judges is FINAL. There really cannot be another way.
( And before anyone claims that we cannot change our mind, let me point out that several prizes were changed once additional information became available to us in the first 24hrs. Such as KB stats for example.)


Out of 283 racers, 18 got a prize. Out of the remaining 265 that didn't win a prize, only one is...

Well, you get the idea.

Here is the video for all to judge.

Holy mother of god.

Finger Puppet, you whinged endlessly - repeating your "I died and won" mantra every minute or so for over forty minutes before my alt checked out of Fleet.

Simply shouting the loudest will not get you what you want. Not in FleetComms, and not here. Doesn't mater whether you did, or did not - you're simply not going to get what you want. This is a dry hole - Give it up and go waste your time more profitably doing something less obnoxious.

Only you are of the opinion there were two finish lines. This is why you are wrong.

I cam very close to making the sa,me mistake with the cans . . . but one WAS clearly labelled Finish Line.

Well flown but not won.

and I had fun, win lose or pod

Gee, I sure guess I had you gun toting philanthropists all wrong.

Righto, lets set one thing straight.

Finger Puppet did NOT meet the Winner requirements - Not only that, but ever since the race only just ended, he has been whining and threatening that he should be the winner, and when I say whining, he was non-stop from the moment the race finished, up until this point on the forums apparently.

On the other hand, The Tusker Deathrace was an unorganized mess with no real danger, crap planning such as "Go to this station and buy this book.... oh wait somebodies bought them all, didn't think of that.... guess you don't need the book anymore LOLOLOL", and the WORST thing was people ignoring the rules with the FC's response being "Oh well", which is dreadful considering that people actually got ahead in the race by ignoring the rules (FC said to go to the eve gate and fight at a planet for a bit - Smart people just stayed at the gate out of the systems, didn't fight, and just waited for the next destination)

But Finger Puppet, even if he did in fact win, has been a whining little ***** about it non-stop, and really needs to get over it and grow some balls.
