Riela Tanal Repercussus RAZOR Alliance 21	Posted - 2014.07.25 03:51:00 - [1] - Quote New Eden, Theomachy is the Greek term for battle of the gods. As capsuleers we are immortals that struggle for power and worth. Repercussus will be hosting a tournament appropriately named GÇ£TheomachyGÇ¥ on CCPGÇÖs Singularity Server in an arena that will have celestials and several beacons that may have traps or treasures. Theomachy will consist of up to 400 capsuleers duking it out for 4 hours, utilizing the resources at hand to make allies and destroy enemies. Your objective, is to be the last capsuleer alive. Theomachy will commence 1900 Eve Time, August 9th 2014 All Participants are to be docked in PVH8-0 at 1900 Eve time August 9th. Participants are to have dropped roles on Singularity by no later than 1900 Eve time August 5th. This is to ensure members can join the hosting corporation of GÇ£Ludus Gallicus.GÇ¥ Traps range from troll fitted ships, Overseer ships blowing your ship up, and NPCs shooting your ship. Otherwise, a celestial or beacon will have beneficial items you will need to ensure an edge over the competition. Beneficial items include but are not limited to. Upgraded ships Powerful modules Scripted events that will hold rewards ranging from max boosting bonus, logistics support for a single engagement and more. The basic rules are simple. There is no podding within the first 5 minutes of the event since all participants will need to find and board ships. The Overseers are not authorized to Pod anyone however participants are encouraged. If you are podded then you are out of the tournament. Any attempt to rejoin will result in immediate CCP removal. Stargates are off limits! Anyone caught on the gates will result in immediate CCP removal. Structures are not a viable target; however, mobile tractor units are the exception. Also be warned there is a designated scanning team in system that will be scanning anyone who may create a mid-safe within system who may try to avoid combat. Upon recognition you will be removed by CCP. In the event of a disconnection or Singularity going down. The participants will have 5 minutes to log back in and join the fight. Once the 5 minutes are up, a snap shot of participants in local will be taken. Any additional participants afterwards will be removed. What are the prizes available? As of right now sponsorships from corporations, alliances, and CCP has allowed Repercussus to ensure a minimal 100 Billion ISK prize pool. Due to these great donations and sponsorships the following prizes will be awarded. These prizes are determined by the final 3 participants alive who will fight to the death to be named champion. Third place (The Honorable Mention) will receive 9 PLEX and a Barghest Second Place(Almost there) will receive 16 PLEX and a Barghest First place (The Champion) will receive 24 PLEX and a Barghest Furthermore, there will be additional ways to gain prizes. Examples are destroying a designated ship that with high value loot in its cargo, obtain most kills throughout the tournament, etc. Ingame Channel: Theomachy The Event Mailing List: Theomachy Any questions, comments or concerns please post in thread below and/or refer to the Theomachy website. www.theomachy.com

Jayne Fillon 391	Posted - 2014.07.25 05:49:00 - [8] - Quote Not to call bullshit on your event, but - Can we get verification from CCP that they are actually sponsoring this event? Can we get verification from SOMER blink that they are sponsoring this event? Is there a third party like Chribba that can confirm these prizes actually exist? Why is your mailing list and chat channel little more than a placeholder? Why does the corporation "Ludus Gallicus" not exist? Why does registration require an API key at all? Why is this being held on SiSi instead of TQ? Can't shoot blues if you don't have any. Long Live NPSI.

Why is your mailing list and chat channel little more than a placeholder? Why does the corporation "Ludus Gallicus" not exist? Why does registration require an API key at all? Why is this being held on SiSi instead of TQ? 1. CCP Leeloo and CCP Falcon are the reps from CCP that are supporting this event, CCP Leeloo is on vacation till the 30th, I do not know if Falcon is on vacation. Tomorrow I expect a response from CCP confirming the event, since it is currently very late in Iceland. 5. Ludus Gallicus is a corporation made on sisi for the purpose of the players to participate. Due to game mechanics, having all the players in the same corporation makes certain aspects of the event run more smoothly and more options for the players. 6. The limited api key is to prove you have a valid and active account on tranquility, since we have a limited number of slots, we canGÇÖt have inactive accounts taking up slots used for active players. 7. The amount of resources needed for this event such as fitted ships, posses would make this event astronomical in isk cost that would make it impossible to do on Tranquility. To give you an idea, the players will have over 4,000 fitted ships and various loot containers strewn around the arena. Question 2, 3 and 4 will be answered by Troyd23 shortly.

Why is this being held on SiSi instead of TQ? The CCP employees who are assisting us with the event are on vacation as of right now, and should be back soon. I can talk to our diplo who sorted things with Somer Blink and get them to confirm if it eases your mind. As to prize verification, I don't see why that should be an issue since it costs nothing to show up and have fun, but I'll see if we can't verify the prizes through Chribba or some other means for those concerned about this. The corporation being used for the event isn't one that exists on TQ. It was created on the recent Sisi mirror to help us with certain mechanics used in the event and to make things easier for us. As to why the event itself isn't on TQ, there's a few reasons. The most basic is that affording the amount of ships and equipment thrown about during the event would be troublesome for just our little group that runs these. Being on Sisi also helps with logistics of moving things, and it lowers the chance of outside interference. We understand that it's not a perfect solution, but to us the benefits outweigh any negatives we might encounter. In regards to the API key, it's mainly just a method of signing your name on a list and saying you'll show. We aren't the biggest group of people and we feel that 400 is the most we can realistically handle. We can have fun with less people than that, but more just isn't something we feel comfortable with yet. To that end we made the validated sign up list to keep the number of people attending at that limit. Hopefully that answers some questions. If you still have concerns, I'll do what I can to help you with them. Edit: Grr, Riela beat me to it.

Can we get verification from SOMER blink that they are sponsoring this event? Is there a third party like Chribba that can confirm these prizes actually exist? We've asked our supporters to add legitimacy to this thread when it is convenient for them or if desired on their end. This thread is a few hours old, and its a bit unrealistic to have them immediately post in support and since they are not organizers, they are not obligated to market the event. That is our job as organizers, we have permission to use their logos as part of our marketing material. Since this is all being done through the test server - we can't scam you for any real tranquility gain. So even if they weren't sponsoring this event. We would still be running this event: but at a lower level of sophistication and smaller prizes. So this is a no risk -> everything to gain deal for participants. The fact we are offering tranquility gains, for a test server event - means our corporation has everything to lose by not following up on the promise of prizes. We could have the prize stash verified by Chribba (unless invoking his name summons his presence as is the norm) - which shouldn't be too hard and something i'll work to coordinate - but by the time that rolls around this event may already be full as we have 20/400 registrants thus far. tldr; - Supporters will confirm if they feel like it - Chribba verification will be pursued, but it may be too late to register by then :P
Jayne Fillon 391	Posted - 2014.07.25 06:46:00 - [12] - Quote I'm satisfied. The event does sounds like a lot of fun - I'll definitely be participating when this is confirmed as legit. Thanks for responding. As for promoting this further, you should look into spreading the word through the NPSI communities. Events like this are always a big hit. Can't shoot blues if you don't have any. Long Live NPSI.
Tycho VI Nanashi no Geemu FOX.HOUND 3	Posted - 2014.07.25 08:13:00 - [13] - Quote I guess I'm one of the lucky ones to see this right after it was posted. Signed up, looking forward to it! I bet the slots get filled fast.
Sara Sturnels Repercussus RAZOR Alliance 0	Posted - 2014.07.25 12:36:00 - [14] - Quote I'm really excited to see how this goes, even though I can't participate. Though, even being in corp forums and seeing all the planning, 24 plex and a shiny new faction BS seems like a huge prize for first place. My eyes widened at that.

I've asked Mangala to share it with the Ganked mailing list and I'll reach out to Greygal too for Redemption Road. I'm sure we wouldn't mind it if you did the same for Spectre - I would have asked but I've never flown with Spectre before

Billius Zabub Beelzebub Corp 9	Posted - 2014.07.25 20:50:00 - [22] - Quote Does someone have a pointer to the best instructions for how to setup an EVE client to access Singularity? I did it once in the past, but I recall it was a bit messy (for me). I just registered for the event. \o/
Thedaius Repercussus RAZOR Alliance 23	Posted - 2014.07.25 21:02:00 - [23] - Quote The easiest way I found to setup Singularity is to create a new folder; I used "SISI" and copy your eve client. Once the copy is done; then create a short cut to the launcher in the new folder. Then go into the properties of the new short cut and modify the target location to something similar to "D:\SISI\EVE\eve.exe" /server:Singularity this will launch the singularity server instead of TQ...

This will not work for Steam users how can we participate without messing with our TQ client ? I made a folder in C: called "evetest". I then copied everything, except for any .patch or .download files, to the evetest folder. After that, I went into the "launcher" folder of evetest and made a shortcut of the launcher.exe file on my desktop, named "Singularity". Finally, I changed the properties of the shortcut to read, "C:\evetest\launcher\launcher.exe /server:Singularity". Then, I launched the new launcher and it went to Singularity. Warning: Once you star the launcher for Singularity, you will automatically update the launcher and probably have to re-start it. Moreover, you're going to have to download the Singularity patch, which is over 6 GBs. That will take a long time, so I would suggest you do this before the day of the actual event.

Thanks for the info, but I was rather hoping to be able to more easily switch between the 2 servers, I suppose every time I switch from SISI to TQ and back I would need to download the latest patch which is kind of a pain. If i could just get rid of launching through Steam entirely I would be happy.

Kaira Killjoy Gladiators of Rage RAZOR Alliance 0	Posted - 2014.07.27 00:28:00 - [30] - Quote This sounds amazing, I would love to try it, but as a relatively new to PVP pilot I think I would be a laughing stock to even try. What would you recommend as a base skill level to even attempt this type of event? Is there a 'Hall of Fame' somewhere listing previous winners?
