The Tyrian Trophy is an event I am running to mark the end of RvB's 5th Birthday celebrations (more on those in coming weeks).

 

As with the Spring Cup held back in June (Youtubes are here & here) this will be a large event, and will require active participation from everyone involved.

 

 

Now this event isnt for around 7 weeks (its the week after EVE Vegas), but this is one of those things were the prep starts far in advance (we started the planning in like late July...).  So what I want first is for those willing to captain a team to X up here. When doing so, post your TZ and average availability so wherever possible I can match players when main signups begin. 

Note that captains do not need to be uber experienced pvpers, top names in RvB or anything like that.  Go read Moriar's write up of his experience as proof!

 

 

I will also require staff.  Staff will not be allowed to fight in the TT, so think carefully before offering your assistance with this.

With regards to staff it looks like Biohazard will reprise his role as our very own Loxy. Running an awesome video setup and making us all look good doing so (seriously watch all the SC videos and see how good that gets as the weekend went on!). However I still need the following:

 

• Commentators. (Taking suggestions/recommendations here). I will be hosting the weekend - read generally waffling on comms. (Got enough of these, saving some spots for outside parties).
• Arena staff.  These guys sit at the centre of the arena and ensure teams stay in range, give countdowns in local and enforce the "rules" with regards to boundaries, keep the MTU emptied, salvage wrecks and so on.
• Event managers. These guys will share duties will the arena staff but will also ensure teams are ready for their matches, be able to marshall last minute replacements and so on.  Would love them to have a social media presence too, to keep the hype train rolling as the weekend goes on.  I'll even give them mod rights to the RvB twitch chat
• PoPos.  Folks who are too leet for tournaments, but want to sit cloaked at a perch waiting for opportunistic gankers to come in, who they then jam/fuck up. (Seriously anyone who flies in the TT better learn how to clear killrights!).
• See Bio's post here. He requires extra camera staff for the weekend.

I would prefer more x's for captains than staff though.  Captains is the key!

Team captains will also be drafted in to to speak on the "show" during the rest breaks between sessions, and at the end of each of the two days. This goes for all captains even of teams knocked out early on day one.  It was a really popular idea last go round.

 

Additionally, if you do get knocked out, hang around to supply a warm body to anyone that needs it, or I can draft you into helping out in the arena, even give you a Referee stint.

 

 

Note: You can see the current discussion on the rules and what not here, please try to keep your feedback on those there, also note that as the organiser I am well within my right to ignore you

If you really need a commentator I can do that too in a pinch. I'm aware this would exclude me from fighting, hence preferring captain.

[Mizhir]

Suppose I could chip in.

I still need to give your points system and rulesset a good look-over. Should be easier now that there's no more AT things.

[Catalyst XI]

X captain, last time had to bail last minute due to work, this time i should be free.

You're in it to win it I hope?!

So basically whatever your role in this, you'll get a chance to come on air, say words, take part in the none pew side of the event and so on. I really want this to show off RvB, the SC did a good job, this should do an amazing job!

Also, Captain Unstable and Dae thessiant have both signed up via evemail. So getting there with the Captains roster! keep those names coming though guys.

[Corniel Azizora]

Do captains recruit their own team members, or will you just sort out people?

[Catalyst XI]

People are assigned to teams from a pool at random. mangala also looks over the picks and adusts them if a team is stacked. Only way to make it fair, other wise all tge vets would get together. Last time most teams had a vet as captain and 1 more.

I'd help with arena staff related items if you need more.  If not I'll just wait for the grunt x-up.

[Mangala Solaris]

People x-up, and after a given period (around 10 days). I close the signups.  Then I randomly assign players to captains using an RNG site. Following that I give the resulting teams a pass to ensure no obvious "uber" teams or "loser" teams exist, by shuffling members were necessary.  Once all that is done I let every know and then leave the captains to get on with it.  Obviously I solicit for back up members when teams have drop outs and so on, but theres only so much people will read from me before they switch off!

Aye pretty much.  I think overall my initial team setup last time worked very very well, and even better didnt get skewed at all as drop outs/last minute changes occurred. Was happy, will do again.

I should be okay for arena staff at the moment, so wait until the team member sign ups start. However as with the captains, i'll happily take help from folks after they get knocked out and so on

X for anything you need. (if it's a captain pity the poor souls in my team  )

After the last time and the work you did when your original captain was AFK, you're getting the Captains chair this go round

Hey gang!

 

Love the turnout that's already happening for this!  I'm trying to get my own prep work done for the stream so that there won't be any last minute issues.  That being said, I'm in need of people to work as "Camera Men" for the stream.  What this entails:

 

- Streaming your EVE client at 720/1080

- A decently healthy (by my crappy US standards) internet upload speed.  I'd say around 5Mb.

- Adjusting UI that so all remains below the overlay for the teams

- Watching the matches while you "Look at" the members of the teams for the camera views.

 

Anyone that has watched the Alliance Tournament, NEO, or Spring Cup will know what I'm saying.  I handle the actual broadcast, overlays, team health bars, etc, so there isn't a massive amount of effort other than sitting there for a few hours and watching some people go pew pew 

 

If anyone is interested, post here and send me an ingame mail to Tyrendian Biohazard.  I'll be planning on testing my new setup once I get all the technical details sorted out (hopefully in a week or so) and would appreciate help testing your broadcast as if we were actually doing it.

 

Thanks!!
