Vulture vs. Maud

An Event Extraordinaire!

Two teams of 8 players face off in a last-man-standing battle to the death, one flying exclusively Vulture-type ships, the other, only Mauds. The members of the winning team each receive 1,000,000 cash prize!

=======================
Specifics
=======================

Leaving the sector for any reason removes you from the fight. If you go back to repair, reload, or if you die, you may not come back. Returning to the battle sector results in the immediate disqualification of your team.

You may use any ship of your team's type. This means for the Vulture: Mks 1-4, Serco Vult Guardian, Biocom & Corvus Vults. For the mauds: UIT, Axia, Valent, TPG, Corvus, and Tunguska.

As this is the first time the event has been run, there is no basis to exclude any weapons or tactics. Therefore: anything goes.

======================
Teams shall be formed as follows:
======================

Serco not hated by Serco are restricted to the Vulture team
UIT not hated by UIT are restricted to the Maud team
Itani not hated by Itani must collectively pick a team, and are restricted to that ship

Any player who has tanked their own nation's standing is allowed on either team.

These restrictions provide that every member on one team can damage, and be damaged by, every member on the other team.

Also, when you sign up please indicate which ship you will be using. I will form teams such that a wide range of ships are represented. That is, such that the Vult team will have the Mk4, Vult Guardian, Biocom, and Corvult on it, and the Maud will have all represented. Chances are, if you say you'll fly the Tung Maud, you'll be put on the maud team, since few would elect to fly that offensively.

=======================
Entry fee
=======================

There is an entry fee of 250,000 credits for a chance to win 1,000,000.

=======================
Date
=======================

VULTURE VS MAUD will be held either on Saturday night preceding the Deneb Run (01:00 GMT).

Please reserve this thread for SIGN-UPs only. The first people to sign up will be the ones to fight, however everyone interested please sign up, as the teams are subject to who is online at the time of the event, and who can fit on which team. So please, sign up!

Nota Bene: You've never heard of Prometheus vs. Valkyrie *waves his hand in a Jedi-like fashion.*

Can we say Corvus Vulturius? Oh yes we can! ...unless, of course, "we" happen to be itani. Then that last word is sorta large an' tricky.

If you can move the event 2 hours earlier, I'm in (2am to 6am is a bit on the late side even for me). Will be flying Corvus Vulturius!

If I'm there... Vulturious or SVG
Or MkIV if I'm feeling charitable and I'm there.

Wait a sec. Why are the UIT getting ganged up on by vicious Vulturius-wielding Serco and SVG flying Itani dogs? Let's just have a three way: UIT gets mauds, Serco take vults, and the blue pansies can have IBGs or something.

Pencil me in for Tang Maud.

LOL.

/me senses that this is more about Lecter getting to eat some Itani than some sense of pity for our UIT brethren...

*remains confused as to what the heck is going on with all these threads*

Don't forget that the Tung maud has an L port.

We can't give the Itani cents because then people would simply cry foul at the "superiority" of the unhittably small ship http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/12377.

Three groups also increases the gankage factor. I'd rather not do that.

As more people sign up, I'll even out the teams.

lol lecter, you'd pit a group of cents against mauds and vults? We may as well go back to prom v valk.

some well placed mass nuking and see the little buggers go down :D.

Naturally when they start doubleteaming... that would be something else :(
Dec 14, 2005 jexkerome link
I sense a disturbance in the Force, as if the combined skill of the Vult team so far surpasses that of the Maud team by at least 500%...

mm, I'm thinking I'm in for the maud side.

Not that I don't like my vult... but I just got a new paint job, and I think these mauds exploding all over the place might scuff it a bit.
