Title: 2v2 t1 Cruiser Tourney
Post by: Silas Vitalia on 10 May 2013, 09:01
It's that time again!

With the dueling mechanic in place, and fun t1 cruisers, it's time to rock.

Going to start signups, if you are interested think about who you'd like as a partner.

10m per entrant to start filling prize pool, I'll put up money as well.

If some of you have IC issues participating, let's try and figure out a workaround, I'd love to get as many of you involved as I can. Perhaps a co-sponsor in good standing?

Graelyn has super good idea for a tourney, might give good access reasons for variety of IC loyalties.

Before this turns into a .gif tournament (which... would actually be awesome... IN THE GRIM DARK FUTURE OF NEW EDEN.... THERE ARE ONLY GIFS.... it would be like mindclash, except with gifs)


Graelyn has a great concept to give a lot of different loyalties a reason to enter a 2v2 tournament, and some neat stuff to fight over.  He's got a great concept involving Ancient Imperial etiquette, lost artifacts, combat by proxy, pew pew, sticking it to you enemies, etc etc.

Don't want to spoil things but we think we might have a winner and fun IC event.

Will there be rules balancing to stop particularly strong combo duos like paired logi arbitrators?

We haven't gotten too far into specifics yet, mostly working on setting up a good background.

My personal preference is always for less overpowered setups and less ewar and more running around and shooting each other.

So if I have my way I'll be leaning towards no logi and no jamming.

Running around in a fast ship while you sentries blap people is perfectly reasonable IMO.

I got a little excited there for a minute, thinking "Someone needs me in my Ashimmu!" :D

You are def invited. But Ashimmu likely no allowed :P

Unless we do navy and pirate boats, which might be interesting, but we might go for t1 to get more people *shrug*

You sir, have shown a troubling obsession for lizards recently. I know that's Ni-Kunni delicacies, but still.

Any idea when your going to hold it? I am interested if I can get a partner.

I imagine it will be a few weeks at the earliest to get the IC ball rolling and to let people pair up and practice etc.
