actually most of the big alliances did try to get in and failed for one reason or another, so not sure where you're getting that claim from ;P
btw most big alliances aren't any more willing to spend tons of isk on something relatively frivolous like the tourney than small alliances are
and considering there's tons of people like myself (and in fact much much richer) around that could afford to singlehandedly fund a team's pirate implants and ships there's really not much difference in what a small alliance and a big one can afford, the expenses tend to land on individuals / team members anyway, not alliance funds

they've never allowed faction/officer modules, and cosmos really didn't make much difference since they were either cheap or ridiculously annoying to acquire (but not that expensive if you could)
i'm starting to feel like there's some weird urban legend about the old days when you could simply buy victory by fitting all officer modules and using magical faery pirate implants -_-
fact is you can probably spend just as much now on hardwirings as you could back then on pirate implants, and there's the additional expense of rigs you have now which you didn't back then, and more ships on the field.. |

well i've competed in every single one so far hm wonder how many other people can say that, maybe tigertex ?
only things that really changed expenses wise was removal of pirate implant sets, well and they made it kinda stupid to field faction battleships, whereas you were gimping your chances by not fielding them in the first two tourneys.. then they started allowing ecm/damps in i think the third ? and the shipnumbers allowed on team kept going up, started with 3 then 5 then plateued at 10

The way I see it their ego or whatever is completely irrelevant, it's a question of what's best for the tournament and what's going to provide the most interesting / entertaining show.
Personally I consider that a lot more important than being fair to everyone, also on average large alliances ARE more skilled than small ones, simply because they have a larger pool of talent to choose from and often have more experience and commitment, not just "THOUGHT WE'D THROW OUR HATS IN FOR SOME FUN, WE KNOW WE'LL LOSE HORRIBLY BUT WHATEVER LOL"
I really wish CCP could just be like "this team's out, that team's in just because we think it'd be a better show" but alas it's not going to happen ;[
PS; all that said I do believe tourney's consistently improved every single time from the previous one and I fully expect this one to be no exception |

You two saying large alliances had boring setups doesn't make it true, and I haven't seen any examples to back your point. Maybe you just don't remember the boring setups unknowns fielded because nobody cared about those matches ?
I don't see what me being in a small alliance has to do with anything ;P Everyone in it except Chribba's alts are only in for the tournament, and personally I don't feel we (as an alliance) deserve to be in the tournament as much as -A-, BoB, MM, PL or goonswarm do. (as a team is another story)
I'm all for some unknowns being in, but as others have said you need the big famous teams for them to topple, more of those in the better.
Anyways just my opinion that making things fair for everyone shouldn't be as high a priority as putting on a good show. |

Originally by: Susan Kennedy BTW I need someone to sit in on a high isk value transfer (details will be sent) and I cant get hold of Chribba. I assume you wouldnt be in his alliance if you were not trustworthy - would you be prepared to sit in on it for me? I wouldnt ask but it needs to be done rapidly.
Well you know what they say about assumptions Maybe you should google my corp name ?

the bit about chribba's alt corp probably! :P
Well I'm an enterprising individual that assembled a team of very good players (f.i. NTRabbit, Vegeta, Trevedian, Tank CEO, dalman, Lord Zap to list some of the better known ones) in chribba's alt alliance ;d of course we used that alliance more cos it's funny than to get an air of respectability
not paying them tho, and no corporate sponsorship (like we'd need any heh) |
