Come one, come all to the third Ultimate Wingman Tournament!
Choose your wingman.
Develop your strategies.
Fight for victory.
If you complete the journey, you will be crowned the Ultimate Wingmen.
This tournament represents the first team competition within the game that guarantees a level playing field. Don't be the one to miss out!
The Third Ultimate Wingman Tournament will be held August 30th at 2000 GMT (that is 1600 US Eastern). Signup cutoff is a half hour prior. To sign up, see Veracity ingame or post in this thread including the in-game names of you and your wingman. The winning team will receive unique tournament trophies and 30 million credits to split, courtesy of Mor Isil and Big Red One!
.
Rules are as follows:
1. You must enter with a wingman. You may not change wingmen. Your wingman must be a member of your guild or nation; if not, one of you must be native KOS.
Note: Native KOS players are at a natural disadvantage, because they and their wingman are able to shoot one another.
2. There are no weapon restrictions. Only four ship chassis are allowed. You may participate in any non faction-specific Centurion, Vulture, Warthog, or Atlas. This means your ship will probably be a mkIII or mkIV.
3. The tournament ladder will be a simple double elimination format.
4. Similar to the nation war, leaving the sector is not permitted, and running for obscene distances will result in disqualification. Interpreting this distance is up to the discretion of your fight's moderator. Chances are, if you turn your back to the enemy, you are wrong.
In previous tournaments, many people did turn their backs- but only to switch targets to their second enemy. This is acceptable. Fleeing to avoid getting shot is not. Learn to dodge newb.
5. Lagging out renders you victim to whatever happens to your ship. Matches will only be replayed in the event of a server/system/sector crash. Participants may be disqualified for acute lag (i.e. I could not have played with my Iraq lag).

I'll be your wingman anytime, 'marth.

Should I be flattered leebs, or insulted?
You should be insulted, I think.
Mor and I will try to enter if we're able... but given school will be starting around then (two days prior for me, and the following week for him), we will probably be unable to make it.

Aramarth - you ever seen TopGun? (The movie)?
Leebs, the quote is:
Ice: "You - you're still dangerous, but you can be my wingman anytime"
Maverick: "No... You can be MY wingman *laughs*"
USN pilots don't admit that they're only worthy to be eachothers wingmen, they admit the next guy is worthy to fly on their wing :P
And Aramarth, I might be off to bootcamp on August 28th, depending on if the local nuke school councilor can get me in that soon, would it be at all possible to bump the tourney up a week?

Mmmmmmmm........
As much as I'd like to, I have this nagging suspicion my internet connection won't work that weekend. I hope I'm wrong, but... we'll see. A lot of people hate the 30th, so if everything goes well with my move, I might reschedule.

Truncate will enter aside Alioni Royhu.
At the end of Top Gun, Ice says to Mav "I'll be your wingman anytime." Last tourney, Leebs used the quote earlier in the movie, so his switch to the end tripped me up.

Mor and I are okay with switching weekends if Aramarth wants to -- it'll probably make it easier for us to participate.
I hope I don't die right at the beginning again...
If I win this b/c no one else signs up, I am going to be very disappointed..
I would offer my services to someone who needs a wingman. I make a good meat shield.
I'll try to make the 30th work..
[EDIT]
This tourny is much fun. Everyone who can should participate.

Keria willennium and Azumi will enter as a team
This brings our total number of teams to three. We need twice that number at least!

I will participate if my ping allows me.
But who is your wingman? That is sort of an important detail, Monsieur.
Can I be my own wingman? I'm already my own buddy, so...
Pilots, you only have until Saturday to sign up! THIS Saturday! We have 3 blue (okay so one is grey) and 3 red so far, where are those silly yeller boys with the fat bankrolls?
