I would bet they did it on purpose, either to troll the alliance tournament as a whole or to bank in on the bets for RvB against CODE. That would be a LOT of ISK made in a few short seconds, certainly enough to keep them going for the next year in terms of SRP and such.

Or maybe the FC wasn't there and they decided nobody else could FC the tourny and quit the field, only time will tell

the beting thing would work IF there were odds on the bets that they were gonna win
considering no one expected them to win, hell, no one expected to probably even get a ship kill

All right, which one of you juiceheads told code that pvp was involved in AT? They were supposed to find out *after* the match started. It was gonna be funny.

Instead of the no-content waste of time code always is.

There is a mittani story forthcoming on this but long story short, we ganked a freighter with another alliance's tournament fleet in it. We withdrew after having seen it; anything otherwise would compromise the integrity of the tournament.

So that means you will forfeit the second match against Co2, too?

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

CODE is too honorable to carry on after seeing another alliance's AT comps... yeah that's likely. It's not at all the fact that RvB would have humiliated them in a fight. No sirrreee

like talos and catalyst setup would win

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

[TL;DR: [ 2014.07.09 01:20:36 ] loyalanon > we havent even had 12 people x up for alliance team

Clockwork Pineapple were the reason code were even in the alliance tournament, since we floated them the isk and plex to get started. However they just didn't have the people wanting to even participate. Their FC Loyalan0n wanted to legit have people participate and have a serious run, but their own membership couldn't give a ****. With a month until the start of the tournament they had done no practices, didn't have a team and didn't even have a single comp set up. We tried to get them to have a few members tag along to our practices against rote, but they just said **** it and kept shooting freighters.

To be quite honest and quite serious, I'm very disappointed with CODE.'s no-show. Last year I signed up for the tourney and fielded a team in 3 matches despite knowing that I only had 6 characters in alliance.

I'm kinda dissapointed actually, we could have used an easy match to shake off the rust. Now we have to face real opposition cold.

Yeah. Even a troll comp I could have respected. Bailing just confirms that Code are scammers, not pilots.

So these "Elite PvP" guys couldn't even muster 12 fighters?
ridiculous!
With that even the tiniest rest of reputation was uterly crushed
Those catalyst ban wouldn't have been plausible anyway, since those would be banned for sure.

Sooo, any bets on this match have to be called of since CODE. manipulated the fight.
I suggest some punishment like 30 - day charakter bans. CODE knew of their inability and let CCP and the tournament down.
This shows not only massive incompentence but complete disrepect for the Tournament and its regular fighters.

CODE. nobody could have hit them better then themself!

I was expecting CODE to field an all-rookie ship fleet, myself.

Too bad they bailed, but then again I was surprised they entered at all, tbh.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

thats a bit too harsh. you ban people for doing something wrong, not for doing nothing.

how about ccp just rename their whole alliance from CODE to JOKE ? that would suit them well :)

That was hardly a withdrawal.

It was more of an oh-****-what-have-we-done-lets-get-out-of-here!
