Sounds strange but I'd be interested in the following:
When Fat Kids Attack The five Atlas Green alliance

All I can say is that if Star Fraction was to win this time I'd be in favour of agreeing to fight an exhibition match with Hun afterwards and give them half the prizes if they beat us. (if they fail to get into the tourney on the reserve list that is).
Eve TV could always film it too

Give alliances a seeding according to their performance in previous tournaments and preference according to that, seedings would also help to split the teams up into fair groups, it's essentially the way every major tourney is the world works. Eve is becoming far too big for a first come first serve system and this would be the only option as i see it

or you could, you know, not make overblown examples and fallacious attempts at humour, and, shocker here, help come up with a solution that allows more teams to participate in a workable way, for the benefit of both the tournament as a whole and the teams.
wildcat has offered in literally every single thread about this to come up with a bracket system that works if noone else is capable/wanting to. maybe take him up on that hmm?

I'm sure they'll be the same BoB they were last time. I don't know the other three, but I can only assume When Fat Kids Attack has to be an alt-alliance. If not, they just sound stupid.
The last alliance tournament was the bset so far, and I guess it is going to stay that way. Perhaps instead, I'll just switch on the world cup final between Burkina Faso and Ghana.

So, say this whole 'reserve list' idea really takes off. Say it's used for the next tourney, where most likely even more alliances will sign on. Say you have a couple people out there with a couple billion looking to make some more. Next time you get something like this, a bunch of them sign up some alliances as 'competitors' and force legit contenders to bribe them out of the tourney. They either screw over legit alliances and force them to pay extra to get in or they stay in and the tourney is half **** just because some rich entrepreneurs decided to jump the gun with a billion ISK each looking to make a buck.
Now, as nobody knew what would happen, I'd say that this certainly isn't the case this time. But really? I think a bad precedent is being set. The simple story of EVE is that more and more PVP alliances are really stepping up to the plate and becoming capable of fielding credible tourney teams. And the game is only growing. Frankly, if you want tourneys to be a success, you do have to accommodate for this growth. CCP has done so quite well in the past so I honestly don't see why a solution can't be found now and in the future to sort this out.
When push comes to shove, it's not an Alliance tourney if most of the major alliances and major teams can't even get in. _____________________________ Fear is the mind-killer.

This year the 40 slots were filled in 2 days, next year, how fast will those 40 spots go?
First come first serve is a BAD system for EVE tournaments; that ultimately will benefit some and disadvantage others depending on the time signups open. ~ id TECH ~ now recruiting |

but last time, 40 slots took 10 days to fill, and people needed poking to get that many. so yeah, maybe next time it needs rethinking, but this time, based on previous events, it didn't

WFKA have I believe the likes of x13 and Cosmic Fusion in them, so they are pretty good.
Know nothing about Green Alliance.
The Five.....well I hope they don't win it that's for sure.
Atlas were good last tourney, maybe this time will exit in the Quarter Finals.

Next time just send out an invitation to the final 16 a week or two prior to open sign-ups and there will be no more messes like this.
If they fail to sign back up during that period then they shouldn't be in and that's still less than half the slots slated for previously successful teams.

This is an asinine post. An alliance's executor happened to be away from Eve in the 2-day window in which they are afforded to sign up; Oh hay guys I guess those defending champions "didn't really want to be there tbh"
Of course it's a hollow victory when half of the top teams -including last year's victor- are arbitrarily excluded from the event due to the rather sophomoric sign-up procedure. There will very likely be one-man alliances signing up next time if the current rules go unaltered. As a purely practical matter, many of the alliances would set aside two or three teams to try and guarantee they will get a spot. And hey, if you get more than one of your teams in, just sell your extra spots to the unlucky suckers who didn't spam their refresh buttons as fast as you did. Because you really wanted to be there.

Edited by: Evil Pookie on 24/01/2008 10:12:34 I dont know why you are arguing with stevie. She is not in charge of the tournament. She is hardly an expert on pvp. To be honest i think stevie got the job because she was the first chick that they asked to do eve-tv that was not horrified at the thought of having to deal with internet spaceships nerds on a regular basis.
yes, i am talking to you, dont think i'm talking about the other internet spaceships nerds.
you, reading this thread, are that internet spaceships nerd!

Whoever decided there was going to be a limited number of slots is an idiot. Whoever also decided that a good fix would be "bribing" alliances to drop out for a "chance" of getting in is an idiot.
It doesn't directly affect me as I wouldn't be entering either way, but this is just ****** up. Oh, and whoever said it's "too late" to change stuff now, is an even bigger idiot.

Stevie rules.
All i can say is, the teams are now as they are, no amount of shouting, screaming, or ranting is going to make and changes to this tourny, however, it will teach people to make sure on the sixth tourny to get those apps in fast!
I guess its now down to just, may the best team win!

its too late too change it for this tournament. anything else would be more than an surprise. but for the future the tournament-team should resconsider some things about letting anybody in this tournament, just by the time they send the sign in. maybe some rl comparison could help in this special case...
olympics are mentioned somewhere on page 2 or 3, football wm or em qualifications are nothing special and nobody is offended by this procedere. and by changing the rules and therefor lowering the costs for participants to win this thing (no pirate imps, factions cosmos etc stuff) only sps and tactics matters now. its obvious that much more allys signed in than before (i have no proof for this, but it seems so) and many allys, who usually are part of this, arent on the list.
to qualify for the football wm you have to be part of the fifa and go through some qualifying games and the best are in (+ the host of the games, not actual champion). its only fair, that any ally can sign in for the tournament (all pay ccp the same --> they have equal rights). the pvpcs team should plan a schedule , theat can handle it, or let wildcat do the work, if they are to busy, to get their job done.
p.s.: sorry for spelling, not native english speaker.

yeah and you are on top of list of those people.
FAce it! The championship on the viwer point of view its about the fight between the big boys. The STUFF liek you are nothing more than same thign as the common pvp we see all over day live. No one cares if Fat Kids or Greens win a fight. But a lot of people woudl cheer with all heart in a AAA vs BOB fight for example.

Exactly. Look at people's reaction to BoB getting destroyed by Thoraxes. Who is actually going to care if that happens to When Fat Kids Attack?

Who is in and who isnt is not really the point. The point is that too have sign-ups only cover 2 days and too require one certain person to be online in that small time period (alliance exec) is just ridiculous.
No matter how much fuss or notice people are given it is still stupid too need one specific person to be online for an alliance that could have upto 5000 people in it.
Every year "we" (the sub payers) dont get the service we deserve and these tourneys are always surrounded with bad planning and unprofesinalism. When will people be held responsible? never cos the "its our game,we make the rules" attitude surrounds everything. |

sure, lots of people may like seeing big names vs big names, but not everyone that watches the tourney thinks like that. As I've said in another thread, although I thought that was a very exciting match, my favourite tourney match I can remember was Destiny vs some other alliance (I don't think it was a big one...but might've been). Maker7 was pilotting an Ishkur (again, I think, heh) vs a Megathron as they were the last pilots alive. the Frigate was actually WINNING the fight and just as he was breaking the tank of the megathron pilot, he went out of the arena and got popped. It may not be as easy to remember as "Wow...a team of thoraxes just beat bobs setup" but it was a much more entertaining fight.

As bribing seems to be CCP approved way of doing stuff, I wonder how much ISK (game or real) is needed to bribe GMs running the show to swing the match in your favor? 
Hell, if It's ok to bribe every participant into dropping out, this should be too. And to quote CCP Atropos "it may take a few attempts" to get the right GM 
sooo GM Nova is running the show..gonna go consult the local shaman on the price tag.
Of course, GMs and CCP stuff will refuse all such attempts, cos you know, only the lowly people like us would accept bribes and such.
