Moth-demolition is wicked fun, and if you haven't tried it already, you probably should.

EDIT: The Official time for the event will be Friday afternoon/evening 2000 Romeo/EST (0100 Zulu/GMT)

.

THE EVENT:

Contestants will fight in weapons-free 3-player rounds (one of each nation), then two-player rounds if necessary (same nation/duel) in tournament-style showdown.

.

THE RULES:

1) NO WEAPONS FIRE
--- contestants may carry weapons for extra weight and/or defend themselves and their prizes from outside interference, but MAY NOT FIRE them during the fight. to do so is an automatic disqualification.

2) NO SPECTATOR INVOLVEMENT
--- only the two or three contestants of each round may participate.

.

THE FEES/PRIZES

Each entrant must load their moth with 40u of luxury goods (for 3-player brawls) or 60u (for 2-player duels) at the beginning of each fight. The winner leaves with all the goods, and may sell them for a profit, or keep some for the entry into the next round.

In addition to the cargo winnings of the individual faceoffs, additional cash prizes for the final elimination winner and the runner up will be offered, but are yet to be determined in amount (if you or your guild would like to sponsor this event and offer prizemoney, let me know in this thread)

.

REGISTRATION:

if you would like to participate in this event, PLEASE REGISTER BELOW and let us know which time works better for you, so I can construct an event table for the tournament.

.

ENTRANTS:

So far we have:
(?) Kalima (What's your nation?)
(SERCO) A-Dawg
(SERCO) Cunjo
(SERCO) Shedu

.

PS. if anybody would like to organize a levi battle to clear out a ring for us beforehand, I'm sure most of us would appreciate it ;)

I don't know if this would work, but you could hold the fight in one of those cracked roids with a hole in the middle.
Nov 07, 2005 Cunjo link
no cracked roids big enough =P

it takes a lot of space to get a moth up to a reasonable speed to do damage, and a fair amount more to stop it if you miss.

Most. Painfully. Boring. Event. EVAH.

Hehe, this looks interesting, have to see this for myself...

uhm, do moths now actually lose hull when colliding these days?

last time I tried this it took forever to get their hull down. but, hey, with enough moths... =)

Now, if you could just provide samoflange instead of Lux. Goods...
Nov 07, 2005 smittens link
United Widgets Inc would be happy to supply discounted samoflange in a bulk order for events such as this.

By "weekly" you mean "week long", yes?

terjekv:

they do lose armor fairly quickly when they ram together... lot of mass, and depending on how you hit. you could lose up to 25% armor in one pass (I've done it before) it actually goes faster with fewer moths.

Visitor:

Are you F'in crazy?? how on earth do you plan on getting two moths full of samo up to ramming sped and actually hitting eachother?

Beolach:

LOL! no... maybe ten minutes a match... fifteen at most. A triple-elimination tournament could be done in a couple hours provided enoug players (which I don't think we'll have that many)

I have actually won a Moth Demo derby... and it is great fun...
Nov 08, 2005 Cunjo link
I'll get you next time Rhalmas! and your little dog too!

Cunjo, being a member of SCAR, is entitled to SCAR protection, so basically if you want, I'm sure some of us would be willing to provide as bouncers to the event, in the case that someone would attack.
Nov 08, 2005 Cunjo link
I wouldn't worry about it A, though having some of you around to help watch over the event and/or facilitate would be nice if you can spare.
Nov 09, 2005 Cunjo link
*bump*

Added first entrants and set event time. See first post.

We need more entrants! (and to know Kalima's nation)
Nov 09, 2005 Will Roberts link
Shedu (Sercissimo) is in.

(I do believe Kalima is Serc, as well. We could do it in Sol II to keep out the riff-raff ;)
Nov 09, 2005 Cunjo link
oh hell, we don't want ALL serco... you can't have a three-way brawl with just serco, and I hate resorting to dueling for this sort of thing...

I thought Kalima was UIT... guess I'll wait and find out.
Nov 10, 2005 Cunjo link
*bump* Less than 36 hours to the event - more contestants needed - sign up now and don't miss it!
Nov 11, 2005 Cunjo link
3 hours to event... if we don't get more entrants, I'm going to think about calling it off until next week. nothing but Sercos means we'd have to duel each round, which IMO isn't worth it...
