It was funny when I saw this on the board index, because "No Remorse" would make a good title for a UFC event

Sounds vaguely similar to flag control imo

Is the tendency to win more not already a monetary incentive?

10k to 100k or something like that

(obligatory stop being dicks thread) Ok I now know for a fact that it isn't hard to fix a flag game because I did it today in pub. A team was getting stomped and a bunch left until it was like 9 on 5, so I left my team to lanc for the other team. Within minutes it was like an 11 on 11 game! Then when I left it promptly died again. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the solution to bad flagging is easier than you think. STOP BEING DICKS GUYS OK THANKS.

LETS ALL TAKE A BIG CHILL PILL OK

was that there before?

We've been through so many systems, just saying "new" and "old" means nothing to me

For whatever reason, sometimes when the module attached, the summoner item wasn't "ready". I believe I have come up with a workaround, and the (S) should show up again.

We have elim. It's even automated.

I'm pretty sure we could have a list of interested zones together pretty quickly

The events here have largely been intented as a change of pace from the normal gameplay, to let you get away from the grind, so thank you for that assessment. As for the large rewards unfortunately I think that is a side effect of people being conditioned to get them over a long time. The amount of behavior mod it would take to get things back to normal is probably not worth it. Race rewards are pretty reasonable though, its considerably harder than it looks to be competitive. If you want to see more events, add to this list.

Hey we tried having a person on staff who was solely responsible for running events, it didn't quite work out as we had hoped. I have been planning and working towards a Hyperspace Flagging League since 2003 (spoilers: the game mechanics are going to be flag control or something very similar), but there are a lot of things still standing in the way. As Arnk mentioned, an official league will be done correctly or not at all. Having said that, I recognize the need for some competitive events if for no other reason than to distract people from laming noobs in pub. I talked in another thread about the possibility of a tournament, and I recently finished some things that will make it a lot easier to crank out hostable events. (Right now all of these are available) We're doing what we can, it just (as always) takes a while. In the meantime, you guys can help out too if you stop being dicks to each other when flying around in your spaceships.

I am not aware of any flag control tournaments, or even official tournaments in the past

When I say flag control, I mean flag control. Not turf or pub or dueling.

If we were to have say, a flag control tournament featuring teams of 5-7 players where everyone had the same fixed budget to customize their ship... how many people would be interested? We don't have stuff set up yet, I was just wondering if we should even work on it.
