Hello tournament people. We're working on an idea for exhibition matches to be played in between the rounds of the best of five finals, and one idea we really like it enabling you all to strut your stuff with an "anything goes" ultimate tournament match.
It would be an exhibition match, volunteer only with no prizes except for glory and screentime, and most importantly, with absolutely no ship, module or implant rules. You'd be able to bring 12 of absolutely anything you want, from rookie ships to titans and anything in between.
The basic arena rules would apply (please please fly a capital out of the arena) but with no points involved. The match would end when one side is dead or after 15 minutes. If you both bring 12 slowcats or something super boring like that we reserve the right to do whatever we want to TiDi to make things interesting.
We'd leave it up to teams to decide what they want to bring on their own or between themselves, and we would not enforce any agreements.
So, what do you all think? Anyone interested in the ultimate comparison of epeens with for pride and glory? Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

Also a thing to note, this is meant to be a showmatch for entertainment. If it is not entertaining it defeats the purpose of having the match
Also, fly a Titan out of the arena plzzz |

It will either be SUPER IMBALANCED ( one team lel over other team ) SUPER DISHONOR ( with supers of course) SUPER BORING (12 titan v 12 titan or 12 slowcat v 12 slowcat ) IN WHICH CASE CCP WILL DO SOMETHING TO THROW THE MATCH ONE WAY WHICH MAKES VERY MAD
Good luck tho <3 ,3 ,3,3 3,3<# ,3, #<#,3 <3 We would never do something to throw the match one way or another. What we would do would effect everyone equally. |

Caps at 20x TiDi would be fun Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

It will be held on TQ just like the rest of the AT. You sign up, we teleport you to jove space in ~whatever~, and then you fight it out. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

Destoya wrote:Here's my idea for this:
Instead of having every match have identical ruleset (bring anything and everything), why not have set ship size guidelines that ramp up over the entire tournament? Instead of just playing these showmatches in the time between the Bo5 finals, spread them between the two studio weekends during as a start to the intermission (a halftime show if you will), culminating in the final day showmatches where everything is allowed.
Basically, the way it is now I dont think we will see anything particularly interesting or entertaining like 12v12 noobships or 12v12 t1 cruisers because everyone will just bring out their big guns. Adding in more matches with more specific rule guidelines both gives interested groups with smaller budgets an opportunity to compete without getting totally wrecked, as well introduces more parity so the matches are more entertaining for both the players and viewers.
I think it is perfectly feasible to have 2+ showmatches per day, even if you just do one at the start of the intermission and after the end of the scheduled broadcast, without having too big of a drain on the EVEtv resources. Just get a couple of the backup casters/community devs to cast these so the main ones can have a break.
Something like this perhaps:
July 27 [Frigate Frenzy]: Match1 - Noobships Only /// Match2 - Frigates and below only July 28 [Cruiser Calamity]: Match1 - T1 cruisers and below only /// Match2 - All Cruisers and below
August 3 [Battle Royale]: Match 1 - Battlecruisers and below /// Match2 - Battleships and below August 4 [Capital Cataclysm]: All Matches - Whatever you want (If 3 matches are able to go, maybe do first one without supercapitals)
If even more matches than this are able to go through, you have fun options like Industrials only (with TiDi) or mono-race throwback matches like 12v12 in Thoraxes or Rifters. The possibilities really are endless for this thing and it seems really really fun.
This is the kind of thing that would be great if we could fit matches into earlier days, but since we're compressing the tournament into 3 weekends we won't have any time to spare until the final day.
At most we'll be looking for 2-3 matches, all on the last Sunday. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

Every one appreciates everything that is being done
Hopefully you can put the dudes that decide to field supers against each other, would you have any control at all in terms of having team x fight team y based on what comps they bring?
Maybe there could be some sort of application process where teams could submit what setup they plan on using a few days before the finals, that way, you could screen the applications so that we'd only see the best fights possible, using your tourney experience you could pair up the teams that you expect to be the closest/fun match, otherwise there might be too many white washes
To guarantee that people bring what they tell you and show up with it, you could have some sort of plex requirement to be considered to get rid of any potential time waster
This is exactly what we are looking for input on. This is something we want to do for the community so we want the community to have input on how we do this. I like this idea a lot!
As for the number of matches. Essentially we will look at how many matches we have slots for and then look at how many teams we have volunteering to take part. If we have 4 lists of 12 people ready to take part we will do 2 matches. |

Slutty Underwear wrote:@CCP Fozzie Can you confirm if I can be in a match even of I am not part of an alliance? I Really want to see a Revenant We won't necessarily place an alliance requirement on this match in the sense of you having to be in the alliance, but the team would be an alliance team and you would simply have to convince the participating volunteer alliance to let you fly with them.
I think that best solves this issue and allows for interested individuals with deep pockets that don't belong to an alliance to take part should they want to wave their epeen a bit. |

Do you think cloaked black ops should be allowed? If so, on what grounds? What will it add/subtract from the entertainment value of the match? What potential problem do you see with allowing it?
I would like to stress that we don't want to be the guys on this that just straight up hand you the rules. By posting in this thread you are helping us create the rules for this. At this time, there are very few rules that we have thought about and that is where you guys come in. |

Thanks for that input Bloodpetal I like where this idea is heading and I feel most people are on the same page with not allowing or encouraging 12 v 12 titan match and triage carriers.
Also not out of the question is to do a PLEX pool for the teams participating and having the winner take all? Yes? No? |

It would also be a logistical nightmare to manage on our end haha But not impossible.. |

But, I only want it coz we're called Suddenly Spaceships. and we cant be sudden if we're all there already. That would just be Gradually Spaceships, or, Already Spaceships. Can't have that Someone reserve the alliance name "Already Spaceships" please! |

OK! This is super short notice, but with how the schedule is shaping up we will only have room for one exhibition match and we're going to want to keep the execution of it fairly simple because our GMs and Ref are gonna have a lot to do.
So we're looking for groups interested in fighting it out on Saturday (tomorrow) afternoon in a comedy TiDi match. We can set reverse tidi potentially as high as 3x for the whole match (how high we can take TiDi depends partly on how server intensive your ships are) and let people enjoy some awesome superspeed brawling on camera.
Not all the normal tournament rules will need to be followed but we won't be allowing cynos and we're going to limit the teams to 12 people for UI purposes. If you're interested, evemail me tonight with what kind of setup you want to bring (whatever you feel will be fun for both teams involved and fun to watch). If you have another alliance or team that you're friends with and both of you would like to be matched together, let us know. We'll pick the combo that looks like it will be the most fun, as well as a few backup teams in case people don't show, and you'll get a chance to show off your stuff at superspeed on EVETV!
Sorry that we can't fit more exhibition matches in, but if this goes well hopefully we can do it more often in the future.
So send evemails to me, CCP Fozzie, with your proposal, and we'll have some fun! Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |
