Edited by: WulfWestphal on 18/01/2008 20:51:47 i think the idea itself is great, but very few players would support it. i could see it in RP corps and alliances that go against similar groups but the average eve player/corp/alliance would simply backstab.
honour and pride are words that can have a whole different meaning to different people. :)
sidenote: IIRC did the bidding took place, while "throwing the visual representations of battlegroups at a piece of wood or the wall". clarified: they had shurikens with the unit number and what it was and threw it. the other commander could break a few spikes from his shuriken to reduce the number and threw it too. some tried to hit the shuriken of the other commander. well it had a meaning and it made sense not to throw the whole army at a planet if a smaller force could get it done and safe the rest for future targets.
in a RP-corp/alliance with military structure this would definatly be fun. :)
edit: while we are at it... "circle of equals" if a commander wants to spare the life of his troop/army/whatever he could challenge the opposing commander to a duel - one of the commanders could state the means (what equipment) the other one could state the place (no commander decided both, thats why its called "circle of equals" cause the terrain as well as the equipment could have huge impact on the outcome of the battle - they had to choose wisely). ---

there is one more thing you have to take into account. the first engagements of the clans against the inner sphere, as the inner sphere commanders realized the battle doctrines of the clans. the bidding system as well es the batchall were most of the time exploited as hell. the clans would bid and the inner sphere blobbed them. till a point where the clans offered batchall only in special circumstances.
you could say it was much like most of the posters said here. :) the clan would fight honourable and the eve-players/inner sphere would backstab.
ah well. its a nice idea which i fully support but would work only with arranged corps/alliances. perhaps someone starts something like that, and i guess then it can work. :) ---

imagine getting enough players together to form the entire clans, and then starting to invade empire systems one by one. Enter one system, wardec those that have offices there, and challenge them to combat. THen move on to the next system after a week.
ah but you would have to challenge them to surrenderand becoming part of the clans to finace the further engagements. and you would have to provide security for the corps that surrendered (miners, missionrunners, etc.). that would be a truly massive logistic effort.
you would need really large numbers of pilots and you would need true loyality. you would have to transport an idea and honour it to the end. you would have to stay to the course even it looks bad and you couldnt act like a moron if you win. i guess forum warriors wouldnt fit in it all and whiners or smacktalkers would destroy the idea in the eyes of other pilots fairly fast.
but for a theoretical idea its nice and compelling. :) ---
