100 million energy credits... Mwahahahahaha Mwahahahahaha mwahahahaha.../Doctor Evil
Pffft... LOL I don't even have that much in my Account bank for casual spending, let alone a tournament! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! /Mocking of Doctor Evil off.
You think that your beta test was bad?

It's only 10m per person for each 10 person team.
Course, the highest I've ever reached on a toon is around 8m and that only lasted a few minutes.
It could be a great showcase of everything that's wrong with STO PvP... some great vids, maybe the devs would watch...could be good.
100mil per team? seems a little much don't you think..
Think it's the combination of the name for the tourney and trying to keep the "whining" down - if it was lower, more folks might try to enter - more might complain about something being used. It's a big boy pants tournament...in a sense, eh?

seems to be an excessive anti-10 v 10 sentiment emerging. Word on the street is either a 10 v 10 cnh... or a 5 v5 arena would be preferred. I say naffthat. 10v10 is no ones preferred style, no one would have an advantage. The added stress and difficulty makes for a potential variety often overlooked, save for the occasional bigpvp.
But if we have interest for cnh or only 5v5, I guess thats fine too. Just means each player in 5 v 5 must front twice as much for entry fee.

I think only one person prefers CnH.
If you were offering a billion EC reward out of your pocket it would be one thing, but you just want the prize money to come from the individual entrance fees. If we really wanted a tournament with a huge prize pool, why wouldn't we just make it ourselves as a proper 5v5 tournament?
You want to put your own billion EC on the table and I'll be the first guy to sign up, but right now all you're doing is telling the community to finance it's own one billion EC tournament for a game mode that nobody likes. Not going to work.

actually if u read closer ud see i actually intend to profit from this. Just like people who run nay kindof tournament in real life, be it poker, motg, what have you.
If there is more than 10 teams signed up, there more than the guaranteed prize pool.
But do note the prize pool is likely to be supplemented by some of the bigger fleets more generous players. Waiting on some of the honchos to put their promises in writing.....
but yeah 10 mill per toon? i cant imagine that would stop the pandas from signing up.....
It's possible that between Starbases, Personal Rep Grinds, buying the latest 'n greatest, folks are a Hell of a lot poorer than they were before S7 through now...
I mean, look at how much gear has gone up in price on the Exchange while the majority of ships have gone down in price. No doubt there are a bunch of folks out there making money - but there are a lot of folks that were comfortable before S7 that are now hanging around Drozana willing to do unsavory things for some EC...
...Hell, you're doing this to profit. The economy's tight...lol.
edit: Though, hey - I did finally get a 3m DOFF out of one of my packs. Broke a long string of taking a loss on every box I had going there for over a month.
10 million... I'm in...I just don't know what team ima be on since it seems most of my friends are broke...But it's not like ur planning this for tommorow... so im sure there is time for those who don't have the resources today to start saving right...

Okay, 10 mil per person is cheap considering the amount of ec pvp'rs have. Furthermore, wtf are y'all complaining about? 10mil ec is nothing if you plan on winning
OK a few things right of the top. 100 mill is easily possible from top end players. Thats what this tournament is for. Its not for new players with low end gear. These are people with 100-200 million ec worth of gear on their ships already.
Second. Of course he stands to make a profit. Hes the one doing all the work to organize this. Id expect to make some profit too. Either way if you win you get a 10x return on your buy in. If you lose then you lost in a pretty epic event and you challenged yourself in a new way. Nothing in pve in this game presents any challenge anymore. PvP is all thats left to push the true end game players and giving us a new outlet to push ourselves might just bring some pvp'ers back to the game.
Emo is a pretty stand up guy from what Ive seen pvping over the last year so if I can get 9 of my friends together with the money needed Ill be entering.

To determine matchups, also insert the names of the teams into a randomizer to determine who will face up against who in opening rounds.
