I picked such a good time to join this game! Either that or Ccp have been reading my posts and thinking it would be awesome to make me grin even more!

Like, the instant you make "having enough friends" not a valid win condition, the game becomes who can get the most expensive toys and old pilots, which means that PL literally wins forever.

"But chicken wing, blah blah blah blue donut friends with everyone dirty blobbers "

Yeah it's actually very Cool and Good that making friends and cooperation is the path to success.

I just posted in the wrong EVE thread I think. Which one will help me get back into the game after 2+ years and I've forgotten everything?

quote:

Each team must submit seven complete team setups to Nashh Kadavr no later than one week before the start of their match. Setups must be submitted before 23:59 on the Sunday before your match-up. These team setups must consist of the following:

Five legal ships which will be flown by the team members during a match.
Each of the seven team setups must be legal according to the rest of these tournament rules including but not limited to keeping each setup’s combined point values to 45 points or below.
No individual ship type may be used in more than one team setup submitted by a team. Each of the seven setups must use a completely different set of ship types as the other team setups.

Once a team has won a match with a particular team setup; that setup will no longer be eligible for use later in that series.

After the EVE_NT referee has obtained the setups from both teams for the current series and has ensured that they are compliant with the setup construction rules, then they will be posted on the Collides website at http://www.eve-nt-collides.uk/team-profiles/

Teams will then be given until the end of the Friday to chose two setups from the opposing side to be banned from that series. These will then be posted publicly on the #EVE_NT Collides website as soon as possible. Bans need to be sent to Nashh Kadavr, by EVE- Mail, on the Friday before the fight by 23:59pm EVE-time.

Team setup pools are not fixed for the whole season. Teams can choose to bring the same seven setups to each series if they wish or are free to switch up setups for each individual series.

In 30 min the EVE NT Collides finals are taking place between We Form Volta & Tuskers on http://www.twitch.tv/eve_nt_tv/

Under the rules for the tournament, their comps are posted publicly here: http://www.eve-nt.uk/team-profiles/

First, congrats to Tuskers, you guys are awesome.

I love the Worlds Collide format, although it's also super high stress for the team. Because you can't reuse any one hull for more than one format, it means you really need two things:

* A team of players that are extremely crosstrained and capable of flying many ships and many roles, which is hard to get without a bit of account-sharing.
* A really good tactical theorycrafter.

Something like the recent Amarr Championships, where you had standard-ish AT rules for the lower brackets but Collides rules for the finals, is really good IMO.

I missed those (I was taking an eve break at the time). I really like that idea in the abstract; I'd go nuts trying to practice with it. Especially given how bad PL is at fitting ships

Two, put up or shut up, because I'm tired of hearing serious allegations with no supporting evidence. If you accuse someone, have something to back it up.

I know this is low grade r/eve trolling, but I'm gonna bite. Here's some examples of criticizing GSF leadership, all of which are true criticisms, and all of which have been said without reprisal in the last month or less:

* "I think the directorate was dumb for de-modding deadtear, he may be an rear end in a top hat but he's not a jerk"
* "I think Flanders is being retarded with the Malediction fit, the extra speed isn't necessary, here's a better fit"
* "I think Mittens goes clubbing too often and poo poo falls apart when he's gone, he should either delegate more or club less"
* "I think Asher has poor fashion sense, Serpentis jackets are much better looking"

Notice that all of these items involve naming a specific thing that someone did wrong; some of the good examples even include the reasoning for why it was wrong, or a proposal of what should have been done instead.

Compare with "unspecified members of the directorate did some spooky unspecified mean things that I'm unhappy with, so I'm leaving." This neither specifies an action that was performed, nor explains why an action was harmful, nor does it propose an alternative. It just raises innuendo, encourages people to assume the worst, muddying the water with no opening for improvement or restitution.

In other words, it's not criticism -- it's low-class attention whoring, with a hint of baseless innuendo and muckraking to boot. And that's r/eve's favorite flavor of pigslop.

really this whole clutching pearls thing over the blacklist is dumb because, uh, while i had nothing against angelique now that she's hauling for phorde of loving course we're going to add her known characters to the list of known horde hauling alts, which is the only list here that actually matters instead of the blacklist

i don't think anyone had bothered to do that but now that i've thought of it i'm going to make sure it's done. i mean, they're now hostile logistics, blowing the poo poo out of them is a very important part of the game now so, uh, why on earth would anyone think we would then keep that info secret

i know there are going to be dj level dumdums who think it's some sort of retaliation and ~so mad~, but i think even xolve would realize that was dumb

In a non-clusterfuck portion of the war question, what's going on with the Russians? Seems like xDeathx was all gung ho to slap Drone Walkers around and, as far as I can tell, there was a brief couple days of mass entosising which was never followed up on and gently caress all since then.

Edit:
Drone Walkers were flying around defending Fade last night which is what sparked the interest.
