 Originally by: CCP Claw
the GMs give so many instructions that they "felt like a 7 year old". In addition to this, local chat is very clear
From the Fleet Logs, every CCP "instruction":
[ 2009.01.25 15:01:09 ] GM Nova > Hello guys and gals
[ 2009.01.25 15:01:37 ] GM Nova > I will transport you to the tourney system in 5 minutes
[ 2009.01.25 15:01:49 ] GM Nova > Please do not dock, undock or jump, change ships, log out/in, leave/join gang, before you are moved
[ 2009.01.25 15:02:22 ] GM Nova > You are Team ¦1
[ 2009.01.25 15:02:51 ] GM Nova > When you enter the system, pick a Team 1 (a,b,c or d) beacon to warp to and stay at it untill further notice.
[ 2009.01.25 15:02:59 ] GM Nova > When the order comes to warp to to battle arena 2, then do so at a range of 0-50km maximum.
[ 2009.01.25 15:03:13 ] GM Nova > Once there, do not move at all. If you do, your team will be penalized.After this, keep a close eye on local as all commands will be broadcasted there.
[ 2009.01.25 15:03:19 ] GM Nova > Once out of the fight, move immediately to the Team 1 exit for extraction, this means as soon as you are in a pod.
[ 2009.01.25 15:03:24 ] GM Nova > Once you have crushed your oponents, then please warp to Team 1 exit as soon as possible, you have only seconds to scoop drones before the arena is cleaned up of excess debris.
[ 2009.01.25 15:03:33 ] GM Nova > Please read the above carefully
[ 2009.01.25 15:03:40 ] GM Nova > two minutes
....
Then at the warpin, in fleet:
[ 2009.01.25 15:13:23 ] GM Nova > Watch local
Now from the Local logs:
[ 2009.01.25 15:08:33 ] EVE System > Channel changed to RU-97T Local Channel
[ 2009.01.25 15:11:01 ] CCP Claw > 4 minutes remaining
[ 2009.01.25 15:14:11 ] CCP Claw > 1 minute remaining
[ 2009.01.25 15:15:01 ] CCP Claw > 10 seconds
[ 2009.01.25 15:15:06 ] CCP Claw > 5
[ 2009.01.25 15:15:11 ] CCP Claw > END
[ 2009.01.25 15:15:14 ] CCP Claw > STOP FIRING
........................................................
Clearly the GM says "watch local", with no other useful instruction given regarding when to begin, and the next thing that is said in local is a countdown. One might argue about whether the word "end" was specific enough as to indicate that it was for another fight or not... but from the perspective of being inside the fleet - there was no indication that there was even another fight going on at all. Being told to watch local, and a couple seconds later a 10 second countdown begins... there was no indication that the countdown was for anyone other than the teams which had just lined up.

There are only two types of ships: those which have blown up; and those which will.
