I want carpet bombings on Gallente Prime and Villore.

Add EVE side betting.

This one is more complicated and must include one of the tournaments, but we've got a few people in the community I know might be able to pull this off.

I think if we could allow the Eve side guys to bet on the outcomes for matchs it could really peak interest and draw some big publicity to Dust and even New Eden as a whole. (Think superbowl or FIFA World Cup with people shooting each other).

This would also have to be kept clearly separate from the charity option if that shows interest as well.

*DISCLAIMER* all betting would be with ISK.

NO AUR, MERC CODES, OR ANY REAL CURRENCY would be allow to be used to make bets.

We have continued to be there for our ground teams and have on multiple occasions fought off pirates and war targets in space above the planet successfully while still providing OB to forces on the ground. While it continues to be a great rush for us we have some problems with what the tournament organizer is doing. We waited until we were out of the tournament to discuss this because we did not want to raise issues while we were in the tournament.

We will no longer be taking part in tournaments where the tournament operator is more interested in media splash and in his boredom continues demand battles in warzones of HIS choosing and then blows operational security by broadcasting to all of EVE where the battles will take place. We will not be taking part or risking our fleets or ground forces because some dude risking nothing and running a tournament gets bored and wants an "audience" for his amusement.

Also anyone who uses the DUST OB channel... we will be watching and waiting to kill ships above tournament areas and Infantry on the ground, I would recommend not using it unless you like getting "blapped" .

DUST2EVE channel is a great place to get your DUST & EVE related questions answered and find targets!

While the systems for the tourney have been announced to allow pilots interested in participating in the events to plan for the occasion, separate faction channels have been created to help increase operational security. Specific planet and district information are being kept to those channels. Pilots should still be cautious when discussing fleet movements though.

Also, since the channel and relationship between the Capsuleers and Dusters has matured I have not been announcing general contracts publicly and expect Dusters to reach out to Capsuleers themselves to arrange for secure orbital support. The Dust OB channel serves as a mixer to facilitate that interaction. Unfortunately, right now there is no way for a Duster to guarantee that he is talking to a pilot of the right faction and that is one the reasons the faction specific channels have been created and are moderated.

I find in unfortunate that you would chose to lash out at the Dust and Eve Online community due to your frustrations over your loss in the tourney. I also find it surprising that you would publicly announce your desire to attack members aligned with HBC and ROFL alliance who will be participating in the finals. The tournament was established to spur interest in Eve for Dust and the over 4 Billion ISK in the tourney betting pool shows that there is a definite interest.

It is up to each pilot to weigh the risks of whether or not to engage in the OB events and to always remember that these engagements take place in low security space. Join the Dust OB channel today and ask questions about how OBs work and talk to Dusters to see how things work on their end. Numerous business relationships have been established through the Dust OB channel and the next one could be yours.
