Alliance Tournament 8?


Alliance Tournament 8

We've decided to pitch our hat into the ring. There's strong committment and enthusiasm for this tournament. We were on the back-up list for AT7 and participated in AT6, where we memorably killed KIA quite convincingly. It invoked one of the funniest (well to us anyway) quotes, one from Verone who cried out 'it's complete carnage!' Considering no-one had heard of us and had already written us off, we were thrilled. We crashed badly in the next round as our fleet of drakes were pummelled into scrap. Still, awesome fun.

Anyway, AT 8 now looms ahead of us and the rules and format has been further refined, presenting new challenges. I have had a chat with my directors, including the legend known called RoninData and full board support was given. I took it to the membership - presented the plans and was relieved that the overwhelming majority supported the move. There is concern over numbers and activity and we have plans afoot to address this specific issue.

All we need now is a slot; I hear the auction is coming along where some of the places are open to an auction. No idea how much each slot will be but I reckon they will be +2B isk. Fund-raising ideas more than welcome from anyone who reads this blog - going to ask Persephone and TheHermit to think of something fun to do in order to raise some iskies. However, am hearing rumours that we may even have to start probing complexes for isk!

So, if you want to see some genuine low-sec pirates take it to the larger, established alliances in a relatively fair fight - support us and cheer us on.

Anyone cares to donate to the 'Get The Bastards into the Eighth Alliance Tournament Fund without them probing plexes for isk'? Drop me a line.

And oh, I think a cool 5-6 Billion would be nice.

Will it be carnage? Oh I think so....

Well, I will be supporting the Bastards as they're low-sec pirates. Pity you can't kill KIA again. Good LucK!!

What about charging an entrance fee for that bushkashi event that may happen?? As long as it wasn't crazy expensive, I'd pay it.

Hey wait a minute, aren't you nuthin' but a group of nasty, dirty, piwats?? Where is the 'big heist' plan??

This is actually a really good idea, given that Flash's write-up of the first game made me really, really want to play it.
Make a Bushkashi Tourney, invite as many lowsec/nullsec/?hisec? roughnecks as you can, and play it all out in brackets. Even if you ultimately don't get a slot in AT8, you'll still have made a ton of isk, and had a tourney.
I'll see what I can put together. . .
The Auctions will be way more than 5-6b think closer to the 40-50bil mark
I agree about the auction prices being on the high end of billions. There is always the option for getting picked out of a hat, and with the new tourney rules regarding alliance membership for longer than 60 days there will be less of a "fake" entry for the slot gamble going on.

Actually, with 16 paid slots, and some already guaranteed a spot I think that some of the slots might go for 10-20 bil or less. Hopefully even as little as 5-6 bil! Cause that would be nice for the smaller, non-trillionare alliances out there lol
