If it's indoor artifical surface, I'm in. I don't have the kit (i.e. boots) for outdoor grass.

I'll take pictures. I'm not playing myself, I only have a vague understanding of the rules.

I would like to point out that the devs have an unfair advantage as they can reduce the actions taking place on the field to a rule-based sequence and then simply run a batch file in an infinite loop.

CCP Karkur should knit one of her delightful hats to be given away to the last-standing EVE capsuleer [non-dev].

I second that. One knitted hat for the Capsuleer player of the game.

I may have a car so two important questions, is there parking and will there be beer/mead flowing at the match?

There will most definitely be parking. The beer, however, may need to stay outside since a lot of these arenas don't allow alcohol. I'm still working on the arena, but will post updates as soon as we have nailed stuff down.

We may need to have this on Tuesday that week. That would be March 17th(St Patrick's Day) from 8pm to 10pm. Any objections to that? Will anyone miss out due to not arriving before then?

Also, what are your thoughts regarding the size of the field, and number of players? Some seem to think that a full size game will require too much running, and a high fitness level. Personally I think with unlimited subs, and good formation based positioning, it won't be too bad.

Can I recommend the following team name:

"Bull and Vitleysa"

Vitleysa is Icelandic in case anyone was wondering.


Cheers

Streaming it may be hard since it will most likely take place on the Thursday, March 19th, and will be pretty far from the actual venue. We will look into it, though. We will at the very least record it, and show the highlights. This only happens, however, if we can validate the idea with interest through this thread Big smile


The smaller the field and less players per side ... the more fitness required. I get much more tired playing 6 v 6 indoor then I do playing a full 11 v 11 game on a full size field. I think if we do a full game with plenty of subs it's a good compromise and there shouldn't be too much issue.

And of course our group of people have never played together before are going to be a tight disciplined formation... (actually if we're all soccer (football lol) players than it shouldn't be too hard to hold a basic formation, just don't expect any offsides traps or anything).

Yes! We have a believer! I completely agree, and I think 11v11 will look more presentable. This will be in the news and stuff.

As to the team's coordination, perhaps we need someone to step forward as captain, and start an in-game chat channel. How about it, progodlegend? Rally the troops?

Myself and one other attending FF will be interested. Will post this Friday night with a definite Yes.

Awesome idea!

Sounds legit. I prepared in-game channel and maillist called "join the troops" for us. Also a player sign-up thread to organize the team. This does not make me captain or coach! Just trying to help on the organization here.

I'll try my best to moderate them. If a CSM wants to get a hand on that - great!

This is awesome! We were planning on getting some blank shirts for the players team, but if someone wants to take charge there and print out something awesome, feel free to! Just have them on the lighter side, and also please let us know :)

As to referees, we'll be having 1 referee, and two linesmen.
