Master of Chaos, a tourney designed to see who some of the top pilots of this zone are. This will be a Royal Rumble style tournament, meaning each pilot will be on their own frequency, from there on out, anything goes. The killing will be divided into seperate rounds, each with a time limit, if you fail to kill anything within that time limit, you are eliminated, if you die, you are eliminated. The winner of each tourney will get their name up in lights to the left, with a little pilot profile. Remember, this page is updated on a daily basis, so check back to see the changes. Rules are as follows:

• 1) Teams: Each pilot must be the lone pilot on their frequency (speccers are allowed). However, its quite fun to try and swarm while on different freqs, be careful with your aim. :)
• 2) Elimination: If you do not kill anything, or are killed in any round you are immediatly eliminated, and must therefor goto spec. Due to the heavy load on the mods, once you are eliminated, exit the zone and reenter to get rid of your spec lock for the main chaos arena
• 3) Tactics: All weapons are legal, as well as tactics (j12ing, mine repping, etc)
• 4) Lag: Chaos standard lag is legal, a true master of chaos can deal with their own lag and the lag of others... If you lagout of arena, you are eliminated, both to make it easy on the mods, and to prevent other potential problems.
• 5) Cheating: Cheating in any form will not be tolerated, including (but not limited too) packet filtering, synch turreting (obviously, two pilots, one freq :P) and fast bombing.
• 6) Time limit: At any time, type ?time to see time left in that round. All but the last round will be ten minutes in length, until only two pilots are left. The final round will start immediatly after only two pilots remain, in which they will have five minutes to duel. At the end of the five minutes, if there is no winner, both pilots will have their specials striped, and allowed to fight again, with a 3 minute time limit. If neither dies, there is no tie, both lose, so no Master of Chaos for that month. In the case of a lagout in final duel (as in second MoC), the other pilot is declared the winner
• 7) Greening and Damage: All ships will be initially greened to 300, and will recieve 3 of all special weapons. If your ship is short anything at the start of the tourney, let a mod know and they will see to it that your are taken care of. After the tourney has started, mods will not grant anyone any prize for any reason. Greening is totally acceptable, to replace anything damaged or used. Ship changes are allowed, but you will be starting with a 30 bounty ship, which will not be granted prizes from a mod.
• 8) Rounds: Rounds will have the time limits posted above. Until the round begins, you are expected to sit in safe. Once it begins go kill, if you do, you can stay out and green, or head to safe. Once a round is announced as over, you are expected to head straight to a safe, without firing at opponents, for a short break. The break between rounds will be for the pilots to recoupe, poop, etc... :) and for the mods to get ready for the next round and clean up from the previous round, usually the break will be two minutes in length.
• 9) Other: Spec talking in blue will be allowed, unless things get out of hand, at which point you may have ruined it for everyone. :( If enough people sign up, Round 1 will be divided into two or more heats, at which point those winners will proceed to Round 2.
• 10) Final Note: The rules obviously cannot account for every situation, and will likely change very close to the last day, so before the tournament starts, make sure you return here and see to it that you are current. Its quite simple, kill or be killed, chaos style :) Lastely, the mods may have to make on the spot rulings, you may not like it, but the time to tell them so is not while the tourney is going, as their hands are full, your voice will likely be removed, if you have a complaint, bring it to the message board on this site. Most important, this tournament is for fun, see to it that you do :)
