ok, this little gem of an idea came to the other day and just need to iron out some rules, prizes and schematics. For now i would just like to gauge some interest and see how many of you would/might partake.
Ever wondered how long you could fight for? Well this is the event in question.
What i am hoping to do is to setup a none stop fight, with the winner being the last person awake. I would setup a new corp specific for the event in question so no messing about with cans/lowsec and find a central system. The idea is to just keep fighting using whatever ship you feel like whether it be the noob ship assigned when you lose your ship or spend some isk on better ones it doesnt matter as the winner isnt determined by kills/losses its simply the last one fighting.
Regular breaks would be put in to allow for coffee and potty breaks. possibly every 4 hours.
A small entry fee maybe 5mil to generate a prize would apply. and possibly a killboard to see who did fight best?
Anyway thats the basic idea, what do you think?

I loled when i thought about the headline "The event to see who can fight the longest has lasted 6 days"
Go for it. I dont know if i will join in but im sure there are some people who would!
All in all it sounds like fun.

I totally agree with constance, no breaks.
Tanks can and will always be broken, it's just a matter of how much force is put into breaking it.
Nice idea might take some sorting out tho, and the judge would have to be downing can after can of red bull and popping pro plus like smarties just to be sure he stayed awake 'til the end, in which case wouldn't the judge win? lol.
Post more as you work out the details.

hmmm, yes never thought about the judge lol poor me. Guess would have to use 2 maybe 3 to come on at different times.
Problems to work around so far:
1) Tanking forever? ok had thought about this a little so a ship class limit will probably have to be set, although so long as they keep fighting to show they are stil awake does it really matter?
2) cost of ammo, if limited to small ships this shouldnt cost too much but a sizeable cache will be supplied. Also who says you have to fight with ammo? ramming, e-war, self-destructing its all part of it, proving you are still awake is what it is about
3) judging. This has probably been my biggest headache b4 the staying awake factor was mentioned. My aim is to setup a corp for the event so canflipping wont be required and should stop non-entrants from participating, but when someone is deemed disqualified they would be kicked from corp, but is there a waiting period or is it immediate?
hmm, some people probably wouldnt want to leave a corp to partake, or be bothered to create an alt although that was the idea so standings wouldnt be a concern
The basic idea is just to have a non-stop fight for as long as possible until people either get fed-up or no-one is left. Breaks i think will be required, start the event just after D/t then have first brk for 15mins only at 12eve-time followed obviously by an hour break at D/t the following day etc etc

Actually because of the number of wrecks i expect i was thinking of "employing" someone to come and "clean up" for the event - salvage all wrecks loot etc just so it doesnt get too messy.
Anyhow does anyone know alot about killboards? do you have to manually upload the kill to it or does it work through the eve-api feature or summat? another twist was suggested to me in-game that sounded pretty good to employ but again very difficult to judge.

arent they the same thing in a round about way? I suppose really yes it is a bit of an endurance/stamina thing. To get people to fight until they can fight no more is a test of stamina/will to succeed, and in the process creating what will probably of been the longest fight to of taken place.

Great idea.
Set it up for the fun aspect more than the prize involved and it shouldn't get too complicated to sort out.
I'd be up fot putting an alt into the corp and think a lot could be the same, main's will be thin on the ground as people reluctant to leave corps but this should make for more killing as generally be smaller ship's involved though be great to see a hulk in there somewhere !!
Perhaps if a succsess it could be set up as a constant fighting corp, stay in one system and people could come and go as they please having a blast ?

yer i wasnt really expecting mains to join in, but it would just be for the hell of it. Lol permanant corp does sound like fun just to have it ther for logging in and blasting the hell out of each other for the hell of it.
The prize was going to be there just to try and attract more people to take part, rather than the old "whats in it for me" excuse. Got a few bits lying around which i could throw out there for random prizes eg. at hour 3 i may sy person who gets next final blow on **** wins this. may add to the fun.
Anyway keeps the suggestins flowing and im still trying to dig info out on killboards so if anyone got one or sets them up willing to help get in touch.

thanks for the info, was kind of hoping to put an emphasis on number of kills and hoped it worked through the api facility. Still ironing key details but have a clearer picture now. |

Can we get an update on this
Ok, heres where am at presently.
A killboard can be set to use eve's api system so an award can and will be given to the person with the most kills(saying kills as points will be negligible not expecting anyone to use anything above the free rookie ship although this wont be restricted).
I.ve been trying to find a nice central system and was looking around the uedama/juunigaishi area, find it is pretty central to most areas, any other reccomendations give us a nod.
there will be no restriction on equipment/fittings/ship size. At certain random times I WILL use a much higher and more powerful ship and order my destruction anyone not attacking will be disqualified. Person to get the killshot will get a bonus.
other than that, anything goes, and will go until no-one is left.
hope to get it going soon

OK WE ARE READY
well nearly what i need from you lot now is a timezone of interest. If you are interested in taking part please leave a post and the approx time(please use eve-time as its the easiest way) that you would be most likely to be able to take part.
The rules will be slightly different to how it was intended in the beginning. here goes
The event will last for 2 hours exactly,
all ship classes upto and including cruisers will be allowed although i would only like to see the rookie ships used to keep your costs down to a minimum
NO restriction on fittings, rigs/T2/ewar will all be permitted
PODDING IS ALLOWED IF YOU GET AWAY WITH IT
the event will take place in the hatakani system(where the corp is setup ready)
you may enter with your main or send an alt age is of no concern
an entrant at a random time will be chosen at random as the target ship where all entrants must immediately hunt and kill
any ammo requested will be supplied(place your request in the message upon appying)
a selection of t1/t2 items will be available for use and will be dropped throughout the event in cans as "power ups".
the corp in question is a real corp set up for myself and will remain active for anyone wishing to stay a member, where future events will take place (hide and seek, tag, bulldog just t mention a few i am working on) or just to drop by and let some steam off.
Ok, now show me how much interest there is, hope to get it kicked off in about 2 weeks but only if the interest is there.

yup the 1900 to 2100 time slot was where i was thinking.
Quick note the first event's timeframe has been set to only 2 hours as it will really be a testing phase for turnout and exactly how it will all go down when the 23hour marathon eventually goes.

IT's ON!
The date is set and will commence on the 25th of july at 19:00 Eve-time.
Ok, to enter all you have to do is join my current corp (plan on setting up an entirely different corp specific to games if it is going to be worthwhile) which is "the well of urd" you will find an office in hatakani - sukuuvesta station.
Simply apply to join anytime between now and 18:58 on the 25th.
The event will take place at a bookmark within this same system, upon entering the system you will be fleeted and you will warp to me at 20km. Thats about all, no restriction on modules, although ships are restricted at this time to T1 cruiser class at a maximum, please come in mind that YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SHIP.
I encourage the use of rookie ships mostly, sure start off in summat decent if you like, but in keeping with the spirit rookie ships are encouraged.
Right to encourage participation, there is no entry fee, thats right its completely FREE to take part.
I will personally hand out prizes at random times, this will be by the order of the destruction of a certain players ship, it could be me, it could be you.
Prizes will vary from 1mil isk to fully fitted ships (battle readyfor the use in event) to random modules and faction items.
Aswel as the random choices, certain participants(maybe all) will be given items to put in the ship hold, this is to be collected by the person who lays the final blow(although if someone else takes it you may have to try and take it back .
Well thats all, this event will be more fun with more people so please join, tell your corp m8s, friends. Remember it doesnt have to be an alt.

ok and now its not, after about 80 eve-mails of interest in early days and a bit of interest shown here for a free for all, no isk entry competition i have had a total of 0 entries, i do still have a corp to run, isk to make etc without sidelining it for nothing,
oh well guys maybe some other kind person will give away shit and organise a non-lotto "event" one day for me im out, alot of hard work for no-one to bother,
thanks again, fly safe

sorry guys, was alot of work to organise, had built 1000s in ammo of all types, frigs and cruisers ready for battle arena( were just gonna be unpiloted so could jump in all fitted quite randomly some good some not so good) including 2 faction frigs( but could they be traps with dire fits?)
Before the cancellation post i had received atotal of 84 eve-mails from people saying they were interested, stating timezones best for them and the best was selected, also a bit of interest shown here but when it come down to the actual taking part i sent replies to ev1 who had mailed me ingame and got nothing ev1 was not commiting either "be there if i can" or honest cant make it or no replies at all. All in all it became quite dis-heartening and decided to cancel it so could decide to try summat else.
Please keep an eye out on these forums i havnt completely given up yet and have some interesting ideas, for example:
1)ever heard of a game called british bulldogs? 2 sides of players (marked by cans) players rush to otherside and try to survive, cans would be out of range of weaponry and rule would be straight line no deviating, hows that sound?
2)this come to me while thinking bout the other cancelled one. Ev1 starts in a pod, ships all over place with different fits cans everywhere with different ammo, no ship would be armed, so get a ship get some ammo go pew pew, survive.
feedback would be good, may try again with most popular, personally i think no2 sounds crazy.

TBH, yes there is a chance. Im going to sideline this particular event for now as i think it would work alot better with a high volume of rookie ships to really get the "rookie mayhem" going but i will venture on with another game i really like the sound of. plz scroll up slightly and have a look at the event idea marked as number 2 and see if you may be interested in summat like that.

cool, number 2 sounds awesome, that would rock, everyone in pods, frigates with small guns on (only put 1 or 2 lasers down cause they have inf ammo) dotted around, containers full of ammo in different places, sounds good, you could decide the winner on number of kills minus number of ships lost.
BTW i think idea 2 sounds better

yer, wasnt really gonna have a "winner" as such, yes there would be prizes, mainly in the cargohold of the ships or fitted to the ship itself, thus being when the timer runs out all fitted modules that havnt been destroyed either in the cargo or fitted to the ship, yes, a number of faction items will be used(hopefully not destroyed in the destructions) and also some "bookmarks" will be placed in cargoholds these will be labelled with a random isk award belong to the current owner.
One quick question though? does podding result in a concord response or just a standing hit?
