I would like to put together a team capable of realisticly claiming one of the top prizes from Akoz' Ultimate event. What is it? Planning. Team name. How can you contribute to this team and what do you get? Responsibilities of Core Members The prizes. 1. What is it? Akoz' Ultimate event is a long term grinding event where you earn points by globaling on mobs in his land areas. Those points can then be turned in for various rewards or prizes. As the point values get higher the value of the prize per point is greater, which encourages long term participation in the event and this is what I am really interested in. (see the link above to read the rules and info about the event) 2. Planning A few friends and I have hunted the event for a couple months now to test it out and see how feasible it is for long term consideration. While I am not a fan of hunting in taxed areas, I love challenges, and this is a great challenge. I also appreciate that it is not just hunting one mob for 3 years, he has it set up so that argo and ambu are always available for points, but every few months changes up a few extra mobs that you can earn points on as well. (I haven't asked yet, but would be cool if he awards points on Monria at sometime) This mixes up the variety and prevents it from becoming too tedious. The two core mobs, Ambu and Argo provide enough diversity in difficulty that any player can participate. Newer players can hunt argo which global at 25ped and give points, and more experienced players can choose between doing their argo missions, ambu missions/grinding, or some of the other mobs he gives points for. (has been sumima and scip for the last 2 months) 3. Team Name The name of the team is "Ultimate EntropiaTransport.com" A majority of the original members of the team are either members of Lost Renegades (my society) or crew from EntropiaTransport.com. This name gave us a common ground, as well as being great advertising for our services anytime we global. There is absolutely no 'loyalty requirements' to EntropiaTransport for anyone wishing to join or participate with our team. There are several good services and ship owners out there, and I think it is great for everyone to have the freedom to choose to travel when, where, and with whom they wish. 4. How can you contribute to this team and what do you get? There are two ways you may contribute or participate with our team. A. Mercenaries Mercenaries are short term, lower level, or those who do not wish to make any commitments, or care about the 'big prize'. Mercenaries are paid off after each hunt, day, or week depending on the individual agreements between the mercenary and the core member who hired them. Typical payment for a mercenary is the point value earned by them in PEDs, but again this is by arangement between the mercenary and the core member who hires them.B. Core Members Core Members will usually be mid level players who are willing to commit to grinding long term, or managing a team of their own mercenaries to grind for them over time. Core Members points, and the points their Mercenaries earn are tracked until the prizes are collected, and the ratio of points they are responsible for bringing in will be the ratio of ownership of the prizes collected. 5. Responsibilities of Core Members Core Members will be responsible for either grinding or hiring Mercenaries capable of bringing in 20+ points per day average. (fairly easy number to achieve, but consistency over the months and years is important.) Core Members will be responsible for tracking points they and their Mercenaries earn as well as providing screen shots should there be any discrepancies between the points claimed by members for any given day. (core members are required to have a google account) 6. The prizes. The 'Ultimate Goal' is to claim Neas Place, but if after a sufficient time(2 years) we decide that is unreasonable then we will decide on smaller Land Areas or Items. I will hold the deed(s) of any areas claimed, and manage them. Management decisions (how to best run them, improvements, event budgets, etc....) will be decided by the core members who's points earned will equal their voting power.
Some thoughts, Neas = 250,000 points 250,000 / 3 years / 365 days = 228pts needed per day That would be, 4 core guys putting up 60points a day (core guy + a merc or two can easily get 12 ambu globals) 6 core guys putting up 40points a day (a core mid lvl player can do that in 4-5 hrs a day solo) 11 core guys putting up 20points a day (even a newish player can do this in 5-6 hours of argo a day)
We have one new core member, and potentially another considering it, as well as a couple new mercenaries. Still looking for more come join the fun, narfi
Probably I would hop in ... not sure if I should ;-) I am a damn loner ... so "core" if I understand it right. Frind request sent ...
Cool, would be great to have you involved :) and no need to be social if your a solo grinder committed to long term points. Ill send you a pm here with more details in case our play times don't overlap enough to chat in game.
TBH ... I am a bit bored atm. Your "ULTIMATE Team" sounds like a pretty nice long-term challenge without need to keep deadlines, participate to special events and other determinations. Fits best to my way. Let's talk about it at Skype tonight (for me ... would be daytime for you I think :-)
