To be honest I did not know for sure which subforum I shoud use to write this, but this seems to be place that most FW pilots read from time to time, so... here it is.

I'm sure most of you have already heard about the Mizhir and Aldap's project of collective solo pvp contest, if not, check here:


One Man Crew - Collective Solo PvP

The prize pool is already quite high (about 70b ISK), but I still want to donate some isk to this, and that is when I had a thought about a collective Federation Award.

It would be awesome to gather some ISK and make a donation to the One Man Crew project to found The Gallente Federation Award for the pilot flying in FW on Gallente side.

Two rules that I thought of are:

1. Pilot had to be an active Gallente FW pilot at least one day before the contest started and has been an active member for the following three months of the project.
2. The fight would have to be in a Gallente hull (obviously Twisted).

It could work two ways
A) The award will be an additional award, on top of other awards won by the pilot that made it to the final video, and if no Gallente FW pilot gets to the final, it could still be a consolation prize for the best Gallente FW pilot that took part in the contest.

B) If the pool gathered by us will be high enough, maybe Mizhir and Aldap will consider making another prize cathegory - The Gallente Federation Award, as an addition to the video.

I'm not sure about the way the money will be gathered, but I need some response if any of you is interested in donating it.
I already know, that one way or the other I will donate a PLEX or 500m ISK to the project, if any of you would be interested in participating in it this, please write here an approximate amount of ISK that you could donate to found such an award.

This could be a nice PR for the Gallente Militia and FOR THE FEDERATION! Smile

What say you?

A. Burn the flag and enslave our women (quite likable you must admit)!
B. Make a federation eagle voodoo doll and stick some pins into it while shouting "I don't like Gallente so I will make them suffer!!!"
C. Buy all the quafe and make us die of thirst, or better, buy the majority of shares and pee a little to every can!
D. Cover the Crystal Boulevard with a ****** graffity!
... wow not liking Gallente can be so much fun, I didn't even realised.

Well lucky for you, I do like Gallente. I personally, while no longer in Galmil, will be participating in this wonderful contest.

I'm giving 500m isk or a plex, i wanted to know first how much can I get, to have some idea with what can i try to convince guys from the project to add one. At the begining of the project there was something about 750m isk to found your own award, however I saw that this point of the project rules disappeard after Garmon offered 30B isk as a donation :)

Maybe I will ask right away, let's see what they say.

I have recieved a mail from Za'afiel about this suggestion. I have written to Aldap and we will discuss it before anything will be decided. So at the moment I can't say anything else other than we are aware of it.

I'm glad you like our project. We have worked hard on publicity, however there is still a long way to go. It is very hard to reach every person out there who likes solo pvp or wants to give it a try. Therefore we encourage you to share it with your alliance mates and other ingame friends.

Thanks for anwering Mizhir, I know that with current prize pool this is like talking about the savings of an 8 year old from a piggybank, but still, who knows who else might read the topic and decide to chip-in.

I'd be willing to donate 500mil if the prize winner comes from GalMil.

These is the info I got from One Man Crew guys:

Quote:
We like the idea, however since it will be limited to a selected group of players (Gal FW) it will just create an extra layer of work if we have to do the judging. So we found another solution.

People from Gal Fed will write in their submissions that they are from Gal fed. Then I will process the submission as usual. but I will also give you a link to the video. The judging will then run parallel. We will judge it like any normal video and you will judge it for the Gal Fed award. When you have found the winner of the Gal Fed award you just have to announce it to Aldap and I and we will do rest of the work.

Since it will be a parallel award, it will not be guaranteed to be among the 15 fights featured in the video. It will generate 2 potential outcomes for the Gal Fed winner: Either the video will be among the 15 featured and the person will win your prize + our entry prize (and maybe even a perk as well). The other outcome is that the winner of your prize will not be featured in the video and will just win your award. However the winner will still be announced alongside the other follow ups (we intend to give follow up prizes to people who made a big effort but didn't make it).

In order to make sure that the Gal Fed award is worth the effort we will require you to raise atleast 1 billion for the prize pool and greatly encourage you to raise more if possible. I would also recommend you that we will handle the isk and prize, for safety reasons.


So to wrap things up:
1. It will be a parallel award, given by the judges from the Gal militia (major contributors and probably some recognized Gallente FW PVP pilots)
2. It might or might not get to the final video.
3. A pilot that wants to win the award needs to tell in the application that he is from Gallente militia.
4. The rules of One Man Crew contest still apply, so the ship size has to be cruiser +.
5. We need at least 1B isk for the award to be included in the One Man Crew contest, to start picking the judges, when we will gather it, Mizhir and Aldap will give the info about the additional award in their topic and in other places.

Looks promising I think. I asked Mizhir if it is OK to send the isk to the character they created especially for this project
One Man Crew
and I'm waiting for the response. I will give you an update when I get the answer.

I would like to take part in this, and as I said in the first post I will contribute 500m isk for that. However, given my poor PVP experience I would not like to take part in the judging, cause I simply think I'm not the person to do it. If The Federation Award will become a reality I will probably invite some prominent PVP experienced Gallente pilot to take my place.

That's it for now. Expect an update soon. Spread the word.

P.S. Sorry for the wall of text, but everything has to be clear here.

Good, so we have 1b, sent the money to the character mentioned earlier, with The Federation Award, as a reason, I will ask Mizhir to confirm our contributions in this topic.
2 questions:
- will you be willing to take part as a judge?
- can you ask X Gallentius if he would be willing to take part in this as a judge? He is the first name that comes into my mind, when I think about experienced Gallente PVPers, maybe he could also mention some other names that would fit as judges, or maybe you can give some names, preferably from other corps (you know, diffrent people, diffrent corps, different points of view, more accurate decission, less fuss about the winner Blink). I admit, that I came back after a long break, and most of the people that I knew are out of FW.

btw. going offline for a week, I will go back to the topic as soon as I get back. Merry Christmas!

Shoot them all! Be polite.

500mil has been sent to One Man Crew from Za'afiel.

Anyone who wants to contribute to this can send the isk to One Man Crew with "Gal Fed" as reason and then toss a mail to Za'afiel and I.
