With fanfest just around the corner, we're sure you're all excited about the annual PVP Tourney. But this year, we decided to add a little twist - read all about it in CCP Claw's newest dev blog, The Eve Fanfest 2008 PvP Tournament!
Official rules and FAQ coming Soon(tm), but we'd love your prelimenary feedback and will answer questions as possible!

Is this some kind of a joke to brush the sad state of affairs surrounding the nano-nerf?

Oh jeeze >_<
This is going to be unbelievably funny to watch. Sure this isnt a late April Fools joke? Kudos to CCP for thinking of something objective based and unique (and involving mining?)

Maybe they are posting more dumb BS to cover up the drug fueled nano nerf post yesterday?

That is going to be fun to watch and finally is not aimed at just the borring same old crowd we see there every year. Sorry guys but lets be honnest MC & co. are great guys and all but lets give others a chance to shine :)
As for the nano nerf crying, all I can say is remember the missile nerf and the people crying about that, or better yet the MWD nerf, yeah pretty much the same crowd, so please if you are upset by the nano nerf let me have your stuff and leave the game already.
-------------------------------------------
Should you disagree with me, well I guess that is because I disagree with you. If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me. |

Nope. Four T1 frigs and a T1 cruiser only per team.
You're going to have to mine it the old fashioned way - no strip miners here, baby!

Question: what are we limited to in station? I.e. can we start of in pure PvP fit frigates and cruisers then switch to mining fits after we kill and pod all the opponents?
And why bring super characters? limit it to peoples existing skills I say >:D

Interesting...what's to prevent people from fitting combat ships except for 1 mining laser per ship and just killing the opposing mining ships?

You aren't limited beyond the rules in the blog - ie, T1 only. You can do what you like within that.
Though killing and podding your opponents then coming back in mining fittings won't be much good if they come back in PvP fittings, unless you're *really* good at dodging gunfire in a Tormentor :)

We want it to be a reflection of your skill at pvp, not your skillpoints on the character sheet; also, we want everyone at fanfest to have the chance to compete equally, new and old players alike.

This is a bit strange, but change is always good.
One of the biggest problems with tournaments so far is that all teams end up fielding similar setups by the end.
Therefore, would it not be a good idea to change the ships involved.
IE:
Round 1) 4 frigs + 1 cruiser
Round 2) 2 frigs + 2 destroyers + 2 cruisers
Round 3) 2 frigs + 2 cruisers + 1 bc
...
Or at least vary it in some way, so that we don't all end up flying virtually the same setup when we reach the final (assuming we don't encounter sentry drones)

Hahahhahaha
This is so hilarious that is would be so much fun to see it happen!!!
Only problem I see is podding: will you keep all the level 5 skills? Or do you have to upgrade your clone to that super-duper expensive max sp-clone?
Otherwise: GREAT!!!
