I don't have much frigate skill, but I certainly have a good salvager. I'll be dere!
Too cool. It's gonna be a blast...pardon the pun.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Please can I have look over your proposed fit/offer suggestions this time, Marlona? RvB alone have been getting in   practice at melting cap ships in frigs. FRAPs shows it takes seconds, not minutes when fail-tanked Blink

I know you mentioned you will announce the location the day of the event. I was wondering if you have an idea how many hours before the event you will say it? I also was wondering if someone wanted to donate prizes how soon or late can we do it? Last question is do you have an idea how many alliances have commuted to participating? Specifically number of echo that plan to attend.

The video of the last event, battle report and other players who were there gave nothing but great reviews. I do not plan to miss this one. Twisted

I will announce the location as soon as I can the day of the event.

I am accepting prize donation now and unless it is ISK, it has to be contracted to me from Jita 4-4. I will stop accepting prizes on the 19th.

I am unsure right now. There was about 200 in local for the last event and my Moros loss mail had over 150 people on it so I am being optimistic that there will be even more. So just don't let the number in local scare you away. Blink

If you are in a NPC corp then you will not suffer from the ill doings of someone else in the NPC corp. So in short, no.

Just updated the prizes and there will be more to come leading up to the event! We have already passed the previous event in total prize value. Shocked

Also do not forget about the Quafe Zero prize! Remember, you have to be on the Moros kill mail with any frigate class ship and have the closest guess to the amount of damage I take from the station sentries without going over. Also it is only your first unedited guess via a post in this thread. So lets start seeing some numbers people. Idea

I scanned through the thread quickly so pardon me if this has already been answered, but;

How do you plan on actually moving your Moros into an Incursion'd system, when they are cyno jammed? Hopefully find a WH?

There's no use crying after every mistake, you just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake.

A couple people have been asking if they can donate some of the already existing prizes. At first I was hesitant because I wanted new prizes in addition to the ones I was donating. After the massive list of prizes so far and more to come I will let the other prizes be up for donation grabs if anyone wants to cover them. Just mail/convo me to sort it out.

As far as how I will get my Moros in a system that has an ongoing Incursion it really is nothing to worry about. This event has CCP's backing and support which I am grateful for. So please don't be discouraged in attending because you think it will be impossible to do. The previous FOATR event was amazing and I have yet to hear any complaints about it at all.

Updated prize list wiht more prizes!

The event is less than a week away capsuleers. Time is running out on guessing damage taken from sentries and also the new prize; guessing the number of players on the Moros kill mail. Be sure to read the rules on how to qualify for each prize.

Good luck and hope to see you all there.
