This Saturday, March 6th, between the hours of 16:00 and 20:00 thousands of ships will be exploded in Ouelletta during the ABA Frigate Free for All. But why should you come to the event?
This is your chance! Within the context of Eve the tables are often skewed against you. You know exactly what I am talking about. You're young, you like to focus on mining, industry, staying out of trouble... whatever it is you enjoy doing in Eve. This is your chance to let your hair down and have some pew pew fun. All with a minimum of risk.
And while I'd be the last person to tell you it is going to be perfectly safe, within the normal context of Eve, the FFA is at least balanced in your favor. It is as close as you can get to a fair shake in this game. For a few hours you'll be on the field with other players in the same kind of ships, with the same kind of skills, doing the same kind of things. Nothing is "fair" in this universe, but this is as close as it can get for a brief moment in time.
And when your ship explodes you can dock up in our Freeport and simply ask for a new one. Or feel free to bring your own, or warp off to hi-sec and fit up a new one. Whatever you choose to do all you are risking is a cheap frigate.
During the event we'll have some specials lined up for you to take advantage of, some ships available that you can engage and destroy that you might not have a chance to engage normally.
Granted, there will always be the buttheads that show up to try and ruin things for everyone. That is why we will be policing the event, to keep the buttheads from ruining the event. This is also part of the fun. It wouldn't be Eve without it.
We have plenty of in-event events planned to keep things interesting and you'll get a chance to shoot some fun things in your Frigates. So keep your eyes peeled for those!
You should plan on being there.
From 16:00 to 20:00 we'd like to keep the field to T1 Frigates as much as possible. I always tell people, feel free to bring your blingy Daredevil and warp into a belt with 800 T1 Frigates if you want to! Personally I wouldn't want to do that, but I'm sure they'd all be happy for the killmail. After 20:00 the sky is the limit and all gloves are off. This is usually when things get nutty.
Until then the in-game channel is EVEOGANDA
Be sure to share this post with your friends! And I hope to see you on Saturday.
