ok, this little gem of an idea came to the other day and just need to iron out some rules, prizes and schematics. For now i would just like to gauge some interest and see how many of you would/might partake.
Ever wondered how long you could fight for? Well this is the event in question. What i am hoping to do is to setup a none stop fight, with the winner being the last person awake. I would setup a new corp specific for the event in question so no messing about with cans/lowsec and find a central system. The idea is to just keep fighting using whatever ship you feel like whether it be the noob ship assigned when you lose your ship or spend some isk on better ones it doesnt matter as the winner isnt determined by kills/losses its simply the last one fighting.
Regular breaks would be put in to allow for coffee and potty breaks. possibly every 4 hours.
A small entry fee maybe 5mil to generate a prize would apply. and possibly a killboard to see who did fight best?
Anyway thats the basic idea, what do you think?

I loled when i thought about the headline "The event to see who can fight the longest has lasted 6 days"
Go for it. I dont know if i will join in but im sure there are some people who would! All in all it sounds like fun.

I totally agree with constance, no breaks.
Tanks can and will always be broken, it's just a matter of how much force is put into breaking it.
Nice idea might take some sorting out tho, and the judge would have to be downing can after can of red bull and popping pro plus like smarties just to be sure he stayed awake 'til the end, in which case wouldn't the judge win? lol.
Post more as you work out the details. _

Edited by: CetusOfAsuran on 09/06/2008 11:25:15 hmmm, yes never thought about the judge lol poor me. Guess would have to use 2 maybe 3 to come on at different times. Problems to work around so far: 1) Tanking forever? ok had thought about this a little so a ship class limit will probably have to be set, although so long as they keep fighting to show they are stil awake does it really matter?
2) cost of ammo, if limited to small ships this shouldnt cost too much but a sizeable cache will be supplied. Also who says you have to fight with ammo? ramming, e-war, self-destructing its all part of it, proving you are still awake is what it is about
3) judging. This has probably been my biggest headache b4 the staying awake factor was mentioned. My aim is to setup a corp for the event so canflipping wont be required and should stop non-entrants from participating, but when someone is deemed disqualified they would be kicked from corp, but is there a waiting period or is it immediate? hmm, some people probably wouldnt want to leave a corp to partake, or be bothered to create an alt although that was the idea so standings wouldnt be a concern
The basic idea is just to have a non-stop fight for as long as possible until people either get fed-up or no-one is left. Breaks i think will be required, start the event just after D/t then have first brk for 15mins only at 12eve-time followed obviously by an hour break at D/t the following day etc etc

Actually because of the number of wrecks i expect i was thinking of "employing" someone to come and "clean up" for the event - salvage all wrecks loot etc just so it doesnt get too messy.
Anyhow does anyone know alot about killboards? do you have to manually upload the kill to it or does it work through the eve-api feature or summat? another twist was suggested to me in-game that sounded pretty good to employ but again very difficult to judge.

hmmm thats not a bad idea, although not ev1 has the use of this feature. I think really it would just have to go down to honesty.
Anyone got any info on killboards? where can i find the info?

Are you trying to create the longest fight or a contest of stamina? |

arent they the same thing in a round about way? I suppose really yes it is a bit of an endurance/stamina thing. To get people to fight until they can fight no more is a test of stamina/will to succeed, and in the process creating what will probably of been the longest fight to of taken place.

If you can find a way to do this, it will be the very definition of epic. Go for it! |

Great idea.
Set it up for the fun aspect more than the prize involved and it shouldn't get too complicated to sort out.
I'd be up fot putting an alt into the corp and think a lot could be the same, main's will be thin on the ground as people reluctant to leave corps but this should make for more killing as generally be smaller ship's involved though be great to see a hulk in there somewhere !!
Perhaps if a succsess it could be set up as a constant fighting corp, stay in one system and people could come and go as they please having a blast ?

yer i wasnt really expecting mains to join in, but it would just be for the hell of it. Lol permanant corp does sound like fun just to have it ther for logging in and blasting the hell out of each other for the hell of it.
The prize was going to be there just to try and attract more people to take part, rather than the old "whats in it for me" excuse. Got a few bits lying around which i could throw out there for random prizes eg. at hour 3 i may sy person who gets next final blow on **** wins this. may add to the fun.
Anyway keeps the suggestins flowing and im still trying to dig info out on killboards so if anyone got one or sets them up willing to help get in touch.

I assume everyone participating would be in same corp to fight so you could do it in high-sec with out the fear of a massive blob coming and ganking everyone. Join Perfect Tyranny. |

thanks for the info, was kind of hoping to put an emphasis on number of kills and hoped it worked through the api facility. Still ironing key details but have a clearer picture now. |

Originally by: z0de Can we get an update on this
Ok, heres where am at presently. A killboard can be set to use eve's api system so an award can and will be given to the person with the most kills(saying kills as points will be negligible not expecting anyone to use anything above the free rookie ship although this wont be restricted).
I.ve been trying to find a nice central system and was looking around the uedama/juunigaishi area, find it is pretty central to most areas, any other reccomendations give us a nod.
there will be no restriction on equipment/fittings/ship size. At certain random times I WILL use a much higher and more powerful ship and order my destruction anyone not attacking will be disqualified. Person to get the killshot will get a bonus.
other than that, anything goes, and will go until no-one is left.
hope to get it going soon
