These tournaments will be open to any TL member. The prizes that I hope to have are 2 plex for 1st, 1 plex for 2nd, 200m for third for both tournaments. This totals 2.8 bil (~$140) in prizes. The only problem with these prize pools is that FB and I do not have that much money to just throw around. Therefore I must ask for donations from both the hatchery and any other TL member that plays EVE. There is currently 1.6 bil in the pool. Thank you to VoV, Jed, Body, Pollux, Not Orious, Mythics, Gudrun, and Adolith (I dont know your TL names :|) for their donations. I am hoping that these tournaments will attract attention from the members of TL who only read the sc2 and bw sections, and hopefully get more people playing this game we play (or at least get them to realize there is more to teamliquid than purely starcraft (even though it is the game that brings us all together)). I realize that there is a high degree of trust involved when making any sort of donation in EVE. I would say to give it to kwark, and have him forward it to me, but chances are that he will just keep it for himself :s. Because of that, all the credibility I can give you is my membership in TL and my post history, as well as my actions in the running of the previous tournament. Firebolt is also with me in this, so I guess I can add his post count to the credibility of this as well :D If you would like to donate, the money can be sent to Sedoris Selendis or the corp Every Day Low Prices, and PM me or evemail me to let me know that you have donated. All the money donated will be kept in a separate wallet division. More details about the tournament will be released soon. I'm going to post this again for all the lazy people who cba to look back a few pages. There has been some great support so far, and I thank everyone for donating. 1.6b out of the 2.8b goal has been reached, but we still need more. FB and I may put more into the pool, but we can't cover the whole 1.2b. Also, I better not see Kwark winning the BW tournament, get practicing. | ||

Around the time of an announcement that will be made by The Hatchery, also I have had a request to not have it for another 10 days. I will start working on the posts I need to make in the sc2 and bw tourney sections though, as it looks like we will indeed have the isk to make this happen. I also should probably get some tips from someone who actually has experience running tournaments as well, because I don't want this to massively fail. | ||

He left a few seconds later and I went a little bit later to try and grab the stuff back. I ended up getting ganked and losing my ship. The people in the corp chat precedded to call me a idoit and a retard. and then contiuned to belittle me until I just stopped responding and they booted me. Nobody explained anything to me about the game and basically told me to make a cannon fodder ship and run around dying in pvp battles. Not my cup of tea. So I decided to do something more passive, nobody explained rather more simple mechanics to me and decided instead of trying to help me learn through my mistakes they decided to bash me and put me down. In the one hour I was talking to other miners and others players I learned more about the game then I did in 4-5 days with the people in the hatchery. Funny thing is that I was being screwed over by a member of the corp with my minerals by almost %10. cutting my profits by huge amounts. Plus what they wanted me to fly was pretty much cannon fodder for the rest of the fleet on pvp roams. I didn't feel like being cannon fodder and liked making the money I was making (which is more than pvp in higher levels, I've been made aware of this recently). so they didn't like what I was doing and kicked me. The funny thing is I thought I was doing well meanwhile I was being screwed over a lot. losing about 3mil in isk in the 3 days I started. funny thing is I got a better offer as soon as I metioned what I was getting. They had explained I was getting %20 under regional average when I could be getting a lot more. basically now I can make about 10mil a day when afk and not have to worry about being called a retard all the time/ | ||

Also ask the other new guy (3 days younger than you) about cannon fodder. We took him out on his first roam today at just two days old and he scored 190m in kills in exchange for his 500k rifter. No matter what ship you fly, no matter how many skillpoints you get, you will always be retarded, you will always be cannon fodder. On the other hand the brand new rifter in a Hatchery gang is not cannon fodder, he is the anchor that makes the 20k between a battleship and the safety of a gate the longest 20k he'll ever try and cross. It's the same problem you've always had, you simply refuse to believe that you literally know fuck all about the game and that you're completely retarded. No matter how many people come up to you and say "look, I'm not trying to be a dick, honestly, you need to start thinking and listening to what people are telling you to do because if you try thinking for yourself it doesn't go so well". You're just not getting it. It's not that everyone hates you and wants to belittle you by calling you stupid. It's that you are stupid. When you were can flipped a message popped up saying "if you take the ore from this can the guy can shoot you, is this something you want, y/n?" and you picked yes after everyone told you to pick no. Does that sound like something someone not retarded would do? Before I kicked you from corp I asked you to try and explain your decision making, to give me some sign, any sign at all, that there was an actual working mind there. I stated that if you didn't give me some hope that you could be salvaged I'd kick you. You didn't reply and I kicked you and then you were confused about why. Honestly, I think the best course for you now is spending several hours with a hot stove. Reach out, touch the stove and then recoil in pain as you burn your hand. Then do it again. Keep doing it over and over until your mind makes the connection between the action and the result. Then try and apply that lesson to other areas of your life. | ||

Nobody in corp has anything to do with mining or your ore. Odds are you were getting scammed by someone who was in the pub channel. We proceeded* to ask you what happened and when you were like "he wasn't there and then i died or something also he warped off" after having explained to you yesterday how to not get can flipped of course we are a little pissed off at you. Additionally, your logic of being cannon fodder is dumb. Def joined corp and became a hero Rifter almost instantly, constantly saving people and living. You actually earn money every time you die in a Rifter and you don't have to stare at rocks all day to do it. Then, when Kwark tried to get an explanation from you you just stopped talking. If you had used any form of logic and RESPONDED you wouldn't have been kicked. Also I told you you would probably get kicked yesterday. And your logic of "kwark was mean so everyone in the TL corp is an asshole" is dumb. Regardless, miners are stupid and think the minerals they mine are free and that they actually make really good money (15m an hour) whereas if you had stuck with us for more than 5 days you would have been making 100m an hour easily without staring at rocks all day. AND GOING BACK TO THE CANNON FODDER PART The fucking OP says you'll fly around in Rifters getting shot. We explained that since you are a miner you probably don't give a shit about flying with us and since you are a miner we hate you and gank your kind but you wanted to join us anyway and after we tried to help you and gave you money you actively picked the worst possible choices in every circumstance and pissed everyone off. Fuck you if you think you're entitled to anything and deserve special treatment. In Hatchery: when you fuck up, you're called on it. And you're reminded of it all the time. When you finally understand how you fucked up you'll stop fucking up and then you'll be a better player. You, however, just threw a hissy fit and bitched and moaned EVERY TIME WE TRIED TO HELP. Fuck you. Go away. | ||

Secondly the rifter is not exactly cannon fodder. If people were telling you to go out and look for fights in it then I am going to assume they were advising an armor rifter with a 200mm plate and small rep, which is an extreamly solid pvp frigate in a solo situation, even with t1 mods. In a fleet situation, rifters are used as a way to control enemy movement and yes that does end up in them being cannon fodder but it also can be the only way to actually immobilize enemy ships in some instances. You really shouldve compared jita prices and not the prices of the station you were at. I doubt the person buying the minerals off you was bothering to cross reference numbers at all so the blame lies with them and not you since they should know better. 10 mil a day inst even impressive as afk work because if you spend 5 minutes salvaging and looting someones lvl 4 mission you can easily make anywhere from twice to 5 times that amount if you get lucky on meta 3/4 drops. Being called a retard isnt meant as an insult, it is meant to point out what you are doing is detrimental to you (in this case jetcan mining and getting can flipped) and you should change your actions to prevent this thing from occuring (hence the suggestions to anchor a secure container which prevents you from being can flipped). For example tofu is being called a retard for fitting a loki like he did and losing it to the mael, which he shouldnt have engaged anyway since he and the 2 drakes didnt have anywhere near enough firepower to break the maels tank. He really should have known better but he decided to do it anyway, thus he was called a retard. | ||
