Originally by: darius m(NOTSO)clever I find it kind of ironic that CO2 is complaining about metagaming after what they did in the tournament. ;)
if you are refering to me then i find it kind of funny that nowhere do i mention im against metagameing. i couldnt care less about that , i couldnt care less about alliances fielding several teams. what i do care about is the 2 teams in final match in a tournement dont fight it out, iv even stated in posts that im not against teams agreeing on a result in group stages to make sure both go on, as thats a part of haveing friends and several teams.
so its kind of funny you should make such a comment, maybe learn to read thru the actuall posts before commenting on them.

Originally by: Fuamnach Why is anyone defending these cowardly frauds who in the end refused us a full fight against the toughest teams EVE had to offer this year: each other.
This is Eve where being a jerk for the sake of being a jerk is celebrated. Not that I think that makes it any better, nor am I any less annoyed about a sham final and several sham matches earlier on, but I wasn't exactly shocked when it happened. -- Frog blast the vent core! |

Ok, you're lazy/don't care enough to bother/have the attention span of a gnat. Is there some reason you feel compelled to share these wonderful qualities with us? -- Frog blast the vent core! |

Originally by: Roosterton Metagaming is a part of EVE. I enjoyed it just as much as the actual shooting. What makes what I enjoy any less valid than what you enjoy? Who are you to say that the alliance tourney is only supposed to be about physical PVP?
From the official Alliance Tournament IX website, emphasis added by me:
Alliance Tournament IX
The EVE Online Alliance Tournament is the ultimate battlefield in which the top pilots in EVE Online fight for the glory and honour of their alliance. 64 Alliances compete over 4 weekends of intense, explosive action.
That sounds like PvP to me. Politics is not fighting. Buying/throwing a game is not fighting. Blowing ships up is fighting.
Lol, uh, "fight for the glory and honour of their alliance."
No glory and honor in that last fight.
Hydra has had to apologize and admit they feel ****ty about it.
SO, by the terms of the alliance intention, they failed - they have lost all their glory and honor in one single act and have had to spend countless time trying to repair it.
So, no, they lost the Tournament on principle and philosophical grounds laid out by the Tournament, even if they are within the laid out rules.
If you missed it, here's where they try and explain everything and look like sad children trying to make it up and trying to tell 30,000 people "it's EVE" - ya, WE KNOW IT'S EVE, but you can't keep saying that over and over like it means something special - it doesn't change anything, it doesn't change people's reactions - stop trying to pretend this is a special little world - it's not. As CCP said "EVE is Real", not special, not unique, not different. You did a political screw-up, you're dealing with the consequences, that's EVE. The EVE Community is EVE.
