I assume that in my case it should say 1 pilot (even though I seriously doubt I make it past the first fight).
That's a pretty big assumption.. Did you actually clear it with LeMonde beforehand that the rules didn't apply to you ?
No offense but you're wasting a tournament slot a real alliance should be using IMHO.

Meh nice going CCP... Let's call all non-competing alliances for chickens because they can't be arsed to spend billions of isk on T2 implants
EDIT: I'm well aware of T2 implants not being the sole decider on these matches, however I do find CCPs words in the news post - well badly chosen.
I don't see that actual sentence in the news post, so either you're paraphrasing or it got edited. Anyways I think it's mostly my words being quoted, not CCP's + the part that isn't me comes from an Interstellar Correspondent (Volunteer), not CCP.
BTW The reason they're chicken is not that they wouldn't spend the billions on ships and implants, but that they didn't simply take part ghetto style.

Love the format and lets hope this is a lot of fun for all involved!
Surprised that ASCN, ERA, CDC or SE wont be there.

As far as I can tell, Chribba signed up for the tournament when it was still supposed to be held among 128 alliances. Just like last year, he signed up knowing full well he wouldn't last very long. (Either that or he thought it was about whoever mined the most veld in 10 minutes ).
IMHO he deserves a CNR just for being the good sport that he is and signing up regardless.
And you can't really say he's wasting a tournament slot a real alliance could be using, only 28 of the 128 slots were filled up to yesterday.

Even if it was 128 he'd still be wasting a tournament slot, it would ofc be much less relevant, but the fact is it did make it to 32 yesterday, and i'm sure one more real team would've signed up if it could've.
Chribba is filthy rich, i'm sure a CNR doesn't matter in the least to him.
My point however is that he signed up 1 person out of 5 when the rules were perfectly clear on one only being able to compete by fielding 5 pilots. It's a joke entry, harmless fun etc, but it requires an exception to the rules, which apparently he didn't acquire beforehand..

Technically, I fully agree with you on the CNR part. Tbh, I don't really care, it's all good fun.
My point was more about the waste of a slot. He signed up, Lemonde accepted him, so if anyone is wasting a slot it's not Chribba, it's whoever decided to let him play as a one man team. Still, I don't see it as a wasted slot, rather as something that adds a touch of humour to the tournament.

Nobody decided to let him play as a one man team.
He just misunderstood and assumed he was allowed to without clearing it with LeMonde
That's my understanding of the situation anyway.

While it is quite amusing having Chribba in the tournament, the only problem I see is that it makes the pool he's in that much easier. Why should the teams in his group have one easy fight while the rest have to slug it out through all three?

Linky-winky for you (check the last paragraph)
Nothing you said btw; definitely a character made for the purpose (Professor Kiyudas Tsalmaki, Lecturer in Emergent Warfare Analysis at the State War Academy), and while CCP as a whole prolly doesn't have much to do with what is being written in the news, they should definitely have some sort of guide-lines for their news-writers.
I know that such statements can be defended as being pure RP, however by saying that the issue regarding implants etc. have been discussed through various mediums (which we all know that those discussions weren't RP), whomever wrote the news post ruined any chance of using RP as an excuse for what he wrote.
And to actually edit the post would make CCP look even worse than they already do... ______________________

What a load of DOGS DANGLYS, to say im ****ed off is an understatement, id of loved to of taken part in this but yet again aliances only and i might add it will be the big wigs within them that participate no doubt...directors and such like just like the last.
Lack of contestants?????
How about letting people like us that arnt in an aliance, sure i havent got the isk for full set of implants and uber ships like most of these but they need them to be any gd.

Wow looks like this tournament just took a few steps up in the seriousness since the last. Therefor I will withdraw and leave place to another alliance (you know who you are) so that no bracket gets and easier path.
Sorry to all those who could have the chance to smack my ass, I was looking forward to it as well. Good luck and good fighting!
And bring me back some Polaris Veldspar!

Maybe LeMonde should look at adding 32 Corporation teams and at least have 64 participating teams.
I imagine that there are a lot of good corps out there who could field 5 good members to participate.

Im sry for my outburst if it offends other eve players but hey ccp, just reward aliances and the big wigs with decent content yet again.
Even if i did get my corp to feild a gang, i honestly doubt it that we would get to the semifinals etc because we would simply use non uber faction ships with t2 fittings...no aliance to back us up with some wedge.
Im proper foaming at the mouth about this, its disgusting.............i look at this as opertunity to have an even fight in eve which is sooooo rare nowadays, with i imagine no ewar and fight to death.
Sure ive lost a few 1 v 1s in my 3 years of eve but let me tell ya i can honestly count them on 1 hand (shiptype the same ), a decent opertunity to show skill and to kill people with actual risk, so many stababonds, stab ravens, instas, ewar *****s etc that people like me need this.
Thks yet again. Oh btw i have 300mill in my wallet so i can buy a couple of bs and fit them out for tourny so that alone probably rules me out. Without Reason corp website

Sorry but, you change the limit from 128 (!) to 32 ONE day before signups end? Also you said Alliances can signup until to 23.06.2006 18.00 (!) wich is in 1.5 hours.
Sorry but Im very disapointed with this and Im sure Im not the only one.
You also said, everyone who singed up is well prepaired and is ready to fight, etc Guess what, some Alliances Selling their spots for isk to pilots who paying enough.
very, very bad move from CCP.

I'm a bit dissapointed as well. According to LeMonde's post, VC has a reserved spot in the tourney. We weren't able to sign up today because of yesterdays change.

You're in it now, in our group. Yarr!
Edit, read your post a bit better. So you've got a spot, but haven't officially entered the tournament?

Um, why did you wait so long then? To me, reserved means you have priviledged opening but it is up to you if you want to take it. Also, if they take you, someone has to be bumped. I've been in another other kinds of tournaments to know it won't work unless it is 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 members. They'd have to try for 64 but the numbers probably just aren't there.

I was just telling my mining friend that she should join Chribba's alliance to participate in the tournament. We had a really great Osprey setup planned.

3rd Front Alliance Lotka Volterra GoonSwarm NORAD
Someone has some interesting humour picking that grouping (even tho a certain alliance was kindly switched in , maybe it was pre-ordained), which ever computer randomly picked the groupings needs to undergo irony training.
- Yes, this is not a NORAD comment, just my own, just find it funny is all.
Good luck to all contestants, and Chribba, you rock !!

We have slacker in our corp name, yet we somehow managed to sign up on time. There's absolutely no room for griping about not being able to compete. There was plenty of time to decide whether to participate and to further choose your team.

Trying to accomodate for more alliances, here is what we can do:
If we find eight more alliances that are willing to compete, we can add one alliance to each bracket, thus having five-team brackets instead of four. However, to do this, we require more alliances.
Right now the following alliances have expressed interest in competing, but not able to since with the current format, the tournament is full.
IRON The Rock D-L Morsus Mihi
If we can get four more alliances to show interest, we might just be able to go ahead with this. If you have an alliance and wish to compete, send a mail with your alliance name and list of competing pilots to [email protected].
The alliances listed above must also do this to confirm their participation.

When are people who arnt part of aliances going to get chance to compete in a decent event with great prizes, oh no wait...........never.
Hoorah for content for aliances.

Edited by: Tescos on 24/06/2006 10:22:40 RE:Alliances that were bummed by the early signup closure
Surely given the new nature of the tournament, it wouldnt hurt to just add one alliance to each group table? Still only letting the top 2 teams pass through to the knockout stage.
This would give room for another handful of alliances to signup who missed the deadline and also would negate the need to go from 32 alliances to 64 to keep things square.
EDIT: Responded to wrong damn topic and just read LeMondes suggestion above..... just what I was thinking ^^
