Edited by: Majuan Shuo on 20/06/2011 02:13:26 tour+na+ment
noun /ˈtərnəmənt/ /ˈto͝or-/ tournaments, plural
(in a sport or game) A series of contests between a number of competitors, who compete for an overall prize
"who compete for an overall prize"
"compete"
Why even bother hosting this "tournament" if such unsportsmanlike behavior is tolerated and rewarded?
Scouting the enemy? That is fine, indeed I encourage it.
But making the experience everything but enjoyable for us? CCP shouldn't bother calling it a tournament until their are clear tournament level regulations - and there isn't a single good tournament I know of that tolerates this kind of buzzkill.

You seem to think you're entitled to a "~gewd fight~" at the end of the day.
However, this is EVE. You are entitled to nothing in this game. And that includes the Alliance Tournament. Lykouleon > CYNO ME CLOSER SO THAT I CAN HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD |

"compete"
The mere existence of your favorite game is not powerful enough to alter the definition of a word.

Making the assumption that everyone reading this knows what your gnashing your teeth over is your first mistake. --Vel

Do not derail. Also - the counterpoint to your own statement would be that you believe a collective understanding of a topic is a perquisite to being relevant. Essentially going against logic and 2000+ years of philosophy.
You can disagree as I am sure some will but no derailing please.

Not supported. You can't make rules about throwing fights. People will just make it less obvious.
If CCP wants to 'punish' Hydra/Outbreak they should hold a lottery (1 ticket per account) awarding 1000 (500 each) of the Alliance tournament IX prize hulls (or 1-run bpcs). That would also be within the rules and would discourage this sort of behavior in the future.
(I'm not saying they should do this, the whole thing was lame/stupid but not that big a deal imo. But YMMV.)

Throwing fights isn't uncommon and is completely allowed.
Welcome to EVE, get over it.

I never said the topic wasn't relevant, however being as this was posted in the assembly hall and not general discussion, I assumed, perhaps mistakenly, they were looking for support of the topic at hand. Most people, at least those who aren't sheep, like to have some understanding of what they're supporting before they tick the little "Yes" box.

Completely allowed in what other sporting event, exactly? Boxing? It's usually considered highly illegal. And for good reasons.
Oh, and it's disgusting to witness, and a let-down to everyone who showed up to watch.
Supported. +1 --

Does this look like boxing to you? The Alliance Tournament is more for the alliances then it is for the spectators. All spying, backstabing, looting, trickery, bribery, and conspiring is completely allowed, just as it is within EVE. It's a minor miracle griefing via intentional pod killing is prohibited.
Just what part of EVE led you to believe an EVE tournament would include sportsmanship and rules of conduct? An alliance can just as easily, and legally, field 10 tech 1 frigates fitted with only smartbombs as they can decide to shoot themselves and/or self-destruct for all of the complete lack of difference that it makes.
Welcome to EVE, get over it.

"compete" Metagaming is a valid mechanic and therefore hydra competed beautifully.
But that's obviously a meta-level too high for some. I guess the same crowd would also support bans for jita scammers, then griefers...
Also, since it's illegal to fix matches in RL sports, they can't possibly be arranged, right? ________________________ CCP: Where fixing bugs is a luxury, not an obligation. |
