Honestly, I was expecting a twitch feed featuring Gargant reading his Evemail and checking contracts. I envisioned something like...
(Fade into CCP GARGANT sitting at a computer, drinking out of a CCP mug and wiping away the last meager crumbs of pastry from his lips. Behind him is an open window with the numbers 1-32 written on the sill in a very professional manner. CCP Soundwave and CCP Sunset are in the background arguing over the proper position of Tournament Cat in the frame.)
GARGANT: Welcome to the results of the silent auction for Alliance Tournament XI. I know we're all excited to know who's in, so let's get started. (Starts up Eve.) What is this launcher thing, anyhow? It's slow, really slow, and it doesn't remember my password. What's my password?
SOUNDWAVE: N00B, no one uses the Launcher. Open Eve from the .exe file. That should work until some random time we decide it shouldn't.
GARGANT: Ok, and the first mail is from--ohh, I accidently undocked instead of opening my contracts. What fool decided that button should be moved anyhow? Back to business then...first contract is from Pandemic Legion. PL bids 495 PLEX, a piece of carbon, and 2.5 Quafe Zero. CCP Sunset, please place the Pandemic Legion origami rifter above the #1 on the windowsill.
...
GARGANT: This is where things start getting interesting. (Camera shot of 32 origami rifters on the windowsill, labelled and decorated with alliance logos.) Next contract is from CCP Alliance, they bid Falcon's broken coffeemaker, 37 blank sheets of paper in a folder labelled "Eve logs", 4 dev corpses, and 3 non-existent NEO t-shirts.
SUNSET: Everyone be sure and go vote right now on the proper ISK value of CCP Alliance's bid! We'll draw one random name to receive your choice of any rookie ship in the game!
SOUNDWAVE: CCP Alliance's successful bid knocks some random alliance I've never heard of because they were formed after 2008 out of the tournament completely. Allow me! *takes out a lighter and sets origami rifter on fire* Better luck next year, anonymous people no one has ever heard of!
GARGANT: Nice, the CAStabouts bid. I've been waiting on this one for a while now. We've had enough communications back and forth that I'm either starting to root for them against all odds or want to see them knocked out of this once and for all. CAStabouts bids 8 PLEX, 3 vexors, and the promise that Boiglio will not either be a team captain or petition anything for at least 9 months. Guys, we have a new #1! That last promise has to be worth at least 600 PLEX.
SOUNDWAVE: Word.
==========
See what happens when you leave me dead time between news? Enjoy the holiday, but consider this a +1 to having all bids revealed as quickly as possible. |

We are all out getting balloons and face paint for the Icelandic Independence day. There is a disappointing lack of extraterrestrials, though. Edward Olmops wrote: Conclusion: the standard EVE player reaction must be not too place a bid at all and leave us in a very embarrassing situation where there are not enough teams for the greatest event of the year. I will also confirm that this is not a problem we have. I won't say more than that today because I am evil. Evil comes with the referee title.
Are you actually trying to get people to hate you? This laziness after the rules change for participation.
You set a date, now post the results. This is really unprofessional |

I would fully support account bans by ccp for meta type stuff like this. |
