Hello all,
This is a question for both the Developers and the general community - is it possible for the four racial militias to each enter a team into the tournament, similar to the way an Alliance can?
I know the last couple of tournaments this has not been the case, and I'm curious as to why not.
As a member of the Matari militia, I can say that while the militias do not always work economically the way Alliances do, they certainly do militarily, as all corps within each militia generally back each other up the way an Alliance defending its territory do as well.
Since this is a PvP tournament, I see no reason why the collective corps that fight in FW PvP daily together can't enter the tournament together and pit their skills against the best Alliances. Many of us have stayed permanently in lowsec as supposed to moving out to 0.0 specifically because we enjoy the smaller, regular, tactical engagements that Faction Warfare provides (scale similar to tournament matches), instead of massive BS on BS and capital warfare that is found further out. I think the tournament is an excellent place for us to show our skills!!
This is by no means a QQ or rant post, I've only been playing a couple of years so I'm not sure if historically there was a FW tournament or past militia representation, but I'd love to see a place for us to demonstrate our abiltiies to the EvE Community!!
Thanks for your thoughts and ideas, -Hans

Well, yes, I get that. What I'm saying is, that the militias are very similar to Alliance in terms of them being competitive groups of players that fight for a common cause, and PvP as a bloc that looks beyond corporation.
In game, when you click on a player corp icon, you can than view the Alliance logo. Its no different for Militia members, the only difference is that when you click our corp's icons the "Alliance" is an NPC faction as supposed to a player bloc. Competitively, at the soldier vs soldier level, there isn't much different.
I'm not opposed to saying that militias are separate from Alliances, but what I want to know if why there cant be either a separate tournament, or a special division of this tournament dedicated to the four militias if there isnt resources for a second tournament coverage.
Is it nomenclature only that seperates us? Is it skill? Is it politics? I wager a team offered by each militia could compete at the Alliance Tournament level, I think there is some of the best PvP pilots in EvE involved in FW, I want them to have an opportunity to prove it to the community.
I'm just asking questions, I'm hoping for a little more feedback from the Dev's or player base than just "Militias aren't Alliances"..... |

CCP gave the Militias slots a few tourney's ago and they all died in a fire. If you want to participate form an alliance. Otherwise leave the slots open for Alliances that have dedicated pilots that have been preparing for months. |

And militia teams in the past have been more of a headache for organisers and an embarrassment for viewers than anything else. |
