My EVE

Hey everyone

Due the low amount of submissions we have decided toextend the deadline with an additional month.
The new deadline is now March 27th. In addition we will allow you to submit more than 1 fight.

The reason we are doing this is that by February 26th we have received 18 submissions, which is a relatively low amount considering that the video will feature up to 15 fights. We want this project to feature some of the best fights among the Solo PvP community and therefore we need a larger pool of fights for the panel of judges to pick from.

The nature of this contest has caused many people to doubt themselves and judge their own capabilities in advance. This results in a situation where people are too “afraid” of submitting their fight as it isn’t perfect. We have received messages from a couple hundred players who wanted to give it a go, but as we had only received 18 submissions it is clear that there are many people out there who gave up. Therefore by letting everyone submit more than 1 fight, we will relieve the pressure that some people put on themselves and hopefully encourage more to submit their fights. Also, the knowledge that there have only been a few submissions can hopefully encourage you guys to give it another shot! And the extra month will give you time for it. So there is still a good chance... And remember that you can’t win if you don’t submit :-)

I hope you understand our choices. Our goal is to create an epic PvP video. So we can promote the joys Solo PvP in Eve, and maybe even lure some new players into the game.

This project is its own reward, no one particular player/game entity gains anything here, except the pilots who will feature in the final video. Drop all the fears and hesitations, and give it your best shot. This upcoming month is the last chance, there will be no further extensions. Undock a ship, and enjoy the beauty of Eve. All you've got to lose is a bit of ISK, and the possibility of rewards are endless. The fun, the glory, the emotion, even if it is disappointments, even if its a hairline difference in a structure battle, the adrenaline, the hunt, the possible victory, the contest awards, the ISK, the ships, the final video, you as the hero, the search, the deep space solitude roaming, the rush, that rare perfect fight where your fit truly shine, where all your piloting instincts strike gold, none of this can happen if you don't try. We're counting on you. There is no one else. Not "you" as in the community. You as in the individual one who reads this now.

Mizhir, Aldap and the judges.

I was so looking forward to today

Oh well, I can understand the the choice to extend the deadline.
18 submissions aren't alot, I expected way more

Good luck for anather month.

Nice, my EVE time has been cut SOOO drastically the past two months, glad i have some time to find something to submit.

This post was edited by the poster because he originally made it when his brain was impaired by the Ambien he had taken, and the next morning it looked utterly stupid.

No, the judges will not be able to participate in the contest itself.

Will submit one as well, promise!

Yep, its a rediculous price on that skillbook.

Good to hear this.

I have been reluctant to try to get some good footage due to unlinked solo engagements not looking as grand (dont have access to links *sadface*) and being a relatively low sp character.

Will submit some of the above mediocre stuff in cheap noobable fits.

Just a reminder to people, it doesnt matter if you don't have links.
Or if you're not engaging a 20man gang and laughing as you pick them off with ungodly tanking or flying, it matters that you try and have fun.
Half of the purpose of this is to foster solo pvp (and to many pvp in general) among the populace.
So go out, die/kill/fly and HAVE FUN, ask questions to people who seem to know more.

And dont be afraid to submit a fight, even if you think its subpar. The value of a gift is often not in it's intrinsic value but the meaning of it.

Just as a short head's up, I just noticed while visiting family some of the links in my last submission Eve-mail don't work. As soon as I get back home I repair the damage and resend the submission mail.

Edit:

Nevermind, in-game the links all work as intended, just the display of the sent mail in Eve Gate is ****** up for some reason. But I'm still re-uploading the Caracal-video, since it has lost it's audio during encoding for some reason.
