Edited by: gosport fighter on 02/03/2008 18:48:23 I have noticed this year that EVETV have been smacking more teams for trying some thing new........i mean they are trying to make things a bit more intresting than this dual logistic rubbish we have seen!
EVETV you should really listen to your self and be ashamed at your self for such things, please at least think that people are trying to make things intresting for and the rest of the eve world
Either way props to the guys bringing new things this year

To be honest, its up to the EVETV crew to make the show as interesting as possible. If that requires "smacking" (and tbh i havent really heard any words that were not in due course) then so be it. LOL btw, to your comment about dual logistics making the tourny more interesting. you should be ashamed for posting afaik.

On the whole, "smackings" have been generally earned by certain things.
There's the good kind of experimentation, like Notoriety has shown, versus less than good like IAC.

the smacking makes it a bit more entertaining. i knew from the moment calmdown and stoffer were selected that there was going to be the usual bob smack. its always going to be there just like the biased commentary. ---------------------------- BOB 4 LIFE NOT JUST 4 A DAY ----------------------------

hmm maybe be you need to read the topic again i was saying dual logistics is boring!!!!!

Yeah i thought the smacking was a bit to critical in places but i think its ok, i enjoy it and it adds to the broadcast, since when has eve ever been a smack free game.

Perhaps the guy has a point, smack is unfortunately inherent in Eve... but I think as pundits the EveTV crew should be objective and impartial.

I agree with you. The pundits should be objective and impartial. Or it all comes across as biased. Not all of us live for smack.

To be fair, the fight against KIA was a fight you should have won. Your FC made a mistake and you've been called on it.
You may call it smacking, but the truth is that the studio guys are there to talk about the good and bad things that happen. Your FC screwed up last night and that's going to be talked about.

Talk about it by all means... If the FC screws up, fine. Just stop slating the whole alliance based on one teams performance. Lets face it, if we based Goons on the same basis... you'd look worse than you do now. And I almost liked y'all.

Actually i was talking about the stealthbomber whines before the match even started.
Also it was pilot error rather than fc error, one of the guys in stress mode forgot to switch off his mwd and so repeateadly bumped the primary away from blaster range.

I've noticed no one talking about Exceed as a whole, I don't know why anyone would. We've been critical about the Exceed vs KIA game, which is only natural since it was decided by FCing.

Ah, well I don't know about the stealthbomber thing since I don't get to actually watch the show at all times.
The error was the choice of drones, which I assume the FC is responsible for.

it is not the comments on setups and how people could improve them that is the issue
smug smacking comments that have no place on the show is whats up for questioning. Over all they do a good job but at the some point take some feed back, and maybe improve on this....

'We got slagged last night in the couple of times we were mentioned, i noted it was by Eddz and Tyraxx.

think you got dis-respected, try being a crimson pilot!
we try something diff on first fight, got slatted and made out to be noobs with no clue, second fight, we go with a game plan and smack iac around and all we get is 'iac lost that as they warped in wrong' not 'well done crimson, good call' third time, we go for a dps set-up against cosa (who went for same) and we get made out to be noobs again!
this is our first tourny and to of beaten one of the 'toruny favourites' was def a good thing for us.
the only good thing that has been said about us is by calmdown apoligizing for saying we had no chance before the second match.
mind you watching thyraxx try and avoid talking about his loss last night was highly amusing, but big respect to his pimp hat!
so please next friday spiral and gang, some nice words if you please?? then if we die call us noobs!

Not that I'm complaining or anything, but it is rather amusing when they begin some sort of "review of all the groups" or "who is going to win each group" during the long gap at the end of a short match... only to never get past group C, stuck on MC and Pandemic Legion for 6 or 7 minutes  ------

How is that a bad thing for you? If I was the MC I've prefer to slip silently into the night given the 0-3 record, for their sake I hope they can pull a flawless execution of a tried and tested set-up and not come out a complete failure.

It's somewhat of a lose-lose situation for competitors really. Try something different and the panel rips you apart for not chasing after points. Do the same old tried and tested thing and the panel rips you apart for being boring.

There has been a lot of childish smack from the commentary, and also quite a lot of less-than-expert opinions. Smacking BoB, Goons and other major alliances is fine (they can take it), but smaller or unknown alliances should not be publically smacked when they cant defend themselves.
The "sleep in studio" scene was kinda fun though

I'm just going to sit around and see how this coming week goes. But for our group you can bet.. Even though Jane Doe and Doe Jane alliances are having a match, somehow all of the commentary will be about MC!! 
My personal thought is to drop all of this commentary bull and just have EVETV call the fights... I don't want opinions, I want to know who just blew up. Maybe they could rig up 2 videos or just have a 're-cap' vid of each fight... who went kablam and who didn't.. who won.. etc. None of this "Well if MC HAD BEEN HERE AND DONE THIS blah blah blah."

Originally by: EVETV spiralJunkie BoB Smack? BoB are irrelevant, why would we smack them?
BoB are irrelevant you say??
3 times tornament champion
got knocked out of last tornament by star fraction 10xRax setup. BoB A team BoB B team yadi yadi yah...
threw the towel in this year due to being expected to come in with 3 days left to get things ready...
you know if the rest of the tornament that ends this weekend goes without 1 more comment about bob i will be very suprised. still though, to see you guys commenting about bob so much it makes me smile, the reason being is that we sure made a big impact on the tornament 
also those of you who are in the smaller alliances, dont lose heart due to the smack.....feed off it.. learn by the matches you take part in and improve... you wont always please everyone with your setups but as long as your own team have fun during that match and do your best that is all that matters...
GL & all the best for your remaining matches  ---------------------------- BOB 4 LIFE NOT JUST 4 A DAY ----------------------------

No worries Zaltor. Commentator dialog doesn't cause ships to explode, and in the end.. that's all it comes down to.
I think more people should simply enjoy the tourney. There are some great players out here giving their all. How often does EVE give you the opportunity of evenly balanced fights against some of its best and brightest? Pretty darn rarely. Revel in them.

The crap talking does spoil it, if its an alliance they are buddy buddy with or someone they fear on TQ they don't say anything except "Oh well that didn't work out but it was a solid attempt and setup" but some of the smaller alliances its all snarky and smart arsed comments.
Comments are inevitable but compared to the last tournament the crap talk has gotten absurd and I think CCP should question having player based commentary and panels in future tournaments.
Just to add I'm not referring to the EVE TV regular staff as they act in what can be described as a professional manner and don't take the p*ss despite what personal opinions they may have. ========================================= A Man chooses, a slave obeys. |

Funnily IAC and KIA are two groups we have slapped around a bit in Stain, funny that :)'
think you got dis-respected, try being a crimson pilot!
we try something diff on first fight, got slatted and made out to be noobs with no clue, second fight, we go with a game plan and smack iac around and all we get is 'iac lost that as they warped in wrong' not 'well done crimson, good call' third time, we go for a dps set-up against cosa (who went for same) and we get made out to be noobs again!
this is our first tourny and to of beaten one of the 'toruny favourites' was def a good thing for us.
the only good thing that has been said about us is by calmdown apoligizing for saying we had no chance before the second match.
mind you watching thyraxx try and avoid talking about his loss last night was highly amusing, but big respect to his pimp hat!
so please next friday spiral and gang, some nice words if you please?? then if we die call us noobs!
TYRRAX AVOID TALKING ABOUT TYRRAX ? WTF ARE YOU SMOKING ? LOL.

The smack was present since last tourney as well due to commentators forgetting that they SHOULD be commenting on MATCHES and not putting their personal opinion or biases due to in-game affiliations.
Also imo the selection of ppl is just wrong , like why pick someone who doesn't even play or someone who run website what ever or some celebrity ?!! Those are not grounds to mean that this person will provide good commentary , on the other hand it just loads more smack or extremely poor hearing. I think CCP is mixing up between celebrity style talk show and match commentary and those 2 are not even closely related , first option its fine to express the persons view biases or what not but in second option no one realy cares or want to listen to it.

Couldn't agree more, criticism is par for the course and some of the teams have earned criticism but this panel and the commentators keep crossing the line into smacking and its driven by personal opinions.
I also think this handbags at dawn business between two of the panel members further illustrates how far the smacking and personal bias has gone this year. ========================================= A Man chooses, a slave obeys. |

Actually Tyrrax you were a bit hard to understand but if you dont know how well mics pick up voices thats understandable. What bothered me is you rarely looked up.... it appeared you were constantly looking at your hands or your junk or Spiral's junk. /me cares not to comment
For all your*****iness on the forums you didn't show it as much as say Stavros who appears*****y on both forums and eve-tv. 
{edit} even though it looks like 5 letters were blocked by filter it was actually a 4 letter word that may refer to a rooster

I'm sure there's a way to strike a balance between a proper match commentary and something that's entertaining with the right amount of humor and off the cuff randomness. Regarding the commentary portion, there is a limitation to the tools they're using such that they're not always able to get in and see the action properly to give a good solid point of view on the action. Hopefully that's something they can rectify.
All I know is that the balance I mention isn't there, and I agree right now there's an inordinate amount of ego flaunting and smack. I'm not saying eliminate that altogether, the panel and commentary folks have their distinct personalities which need to come through to make things enjoyable for everyone involved. But don't let it overshadow their real purpose for being there. They're there to service the tournament and the viewers, not have a party. This can be accomplished while still having fun.
I'm not saying it's all bad, there's certainly some great examples of how to do it right. NinjaTurtle, in my opinion, is a real standout here, and I wish he wasn't constantly being lost in the noise. He seems to at have put some decent thought and effort into being there.
