Having read that reddit thread(?) I really feel sorry for BNI, those dudes just have no loving clue what they're teaming up with. They're pretty much teaming up with the dregs of reddit  E: Hahahahaha DHD told the shitlord to gently caress off. Given Durrhurrdurr's own antics, this is pretty rich. orange juche fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Mar 8, 2014 |

I'm serious. We should hire BNI to deploy to JU- to provide content up north, give them docking rights, and let Theta squad get rich stocking the market for them. Also can we murder test some more because holy poo poo those people need to stop existing.

No boundaries wins, PL is out! I just had the thought that the only thing that could make Goonfleet's tournament history any funnier would be if Groon (and Rote) won this one. That would just be the most amazing thing. (Also I have no idea how PL didn't bring out some AT ships for that match.) edit: very amusing, somebody in TRI now owns telefishopolis and used the character for their tournament team. Was surprising to notice that name. Klyith fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Mar 8, 2014 |

Now now, TEST and Goons have a lot in common what with our fundamental out-of-game identities which means we're culturally far closer to them than we are to anyone else in EVE something something something and that's why we're never going to reset them. Oh wait I forgot it's not 2010 anymore, ignore all that.

Tournament ships have some weird fits, PL were running dual-buffer-tanked Ishtars and a Gila with 3 Omnis in the mids.

I suppose when you can't warp out, you have to commit to combat in a set boundary amount of space, and given the diminishing returns of DPS mods/tank mods, I can SEE why someone would dual tank and provide really interesting fits for ships.

No pair of Cynabal's losing a droneless half dead Armageddon? An entire team (not the multiboxer guy) apply a grand total of about 0 damage for the entire fight?

This seems weirdly fitting, then: http://www.stain-removal-101.com/ashes-stain-removal.html posted:The stains caused by ash can be quite dark, and spread easily if they are rubbed. Therefore, one of the most important things to remember about removing an ash stain is to rub as little as possible, because that will just spread the stain further.

That would just be the most amazing thing. PL hasn't been able to practice effectively. They've spent a while running from Hydra spies (just like everyone else in the NEO at the moment), and eventually moved into a WH. Unfortunately, Hydra managed to infiltrate that as well. On Friday night, Hydra rapecaged the staging POS, and then built a cock-and-balls out of bubbles outside of the POS. Anchored cans are spurting out of the tip of the cock, and each can is named with a different URL -- each one leading to a Youtube of PL practicing a various comp. (Except for one, that was a little "hello" message from Hydra.) Oh, and #rekt spelled out in mobile depots. I'll see if I can post some pics.

Thurin posted:Tournament ships have some weird fits, PL were running dual-buffer-tanked Ishtars and a Gila with 3 Omnis in the mids. Honestly I think that PL would've been better off with dual damps on their ishtars and using inquisitors for their logi frigs, rather than going with the shield based setup. It just provides a lot more utility in terms of what you can do with them, and ishtars are pretty much going to die once they get caught anyway. The dual tank didn't really give them anything in that match.

Double elimination helps, but there were definitely sections of the draw that were pretty weak. One reason the second half of last Sunday was such a joke was that there were good teams in the losers bracket right away.

A while back, I saw some Hydra Reloaded fleet in local, and said something to the effect of "Hydra still exists?" The very first reply was something about winning the Alliance Tournament. I figured it was just a joke reply, but apparently they're quite a bit more serious about it than I thought.

The very first reply was something about winning the Alliance Tournament. I figured it was just a joke reply, but apparently they're quite a bit more serious about it than I thought. Hydra Reloaded is a joke alliance created by Genos Occidere for the sole purpose of competing in alliance tournaments. While they roam around some, these days 99% of what they do is preparing for the next tournament. They have no relation to the old Hydra alliance. For non-AT tournaments (NEO, SCL) they generally use the name Warlords of the Deep.

I went to Faction Warfare space in my Caracal and found someone in an atron running medium sites. I followed him back and forth between the two medium sites in the system, and all he did was complain in local how it's his site and he should get out. A tengu came to kill me, and so did he along with the tengu. I killed him and the Tengu buggered off. He could've just, you know, went to a small site that I couldn't get inside.

It actually locks out non-alliance members without the password. This means if you ever bring another team in to practice against, you have to give them the password. If they subsequently are able to either leave someone in system or hand that password to soemone else before you change it, they've got a spy in system. The password doesn't prevent logging in (IIRC), it just prevents undocking and jumping in. Even if the password does prevent logging in, Duality doesn't need to reboot every night so it can take several weeks to get someone logged off.

Klyith posted:NEO prize is straight cash money, $25k divided among the top three teams 12/8/5. So actually a lot less than than the AT ships when you consider that all 50 ships would have a theoretical value of like $50k in PLEX. Don't they also get a share of the PLEX prize pool that the teams had to buy-in with? I've heard from the rumour mill that it's quite a substantial amount of plex. Our fleet ran into Oodell Oaell 6 account multi boxing bomber last night. That guy is insanely good he was finding us in like 30 seconds and picking off our tiny little frigate fleet.
