The event started about an hour late. They took Solsar (TR home cont) and turned it all VS. Then moved all the fan faire people into a Thoth which had a capital shield. The FF people were a "4th" race who were actually just black ops for the VS. They had like 1000 armor and 500 health. They devs also were spawning them the new aircrafts for their use only, and they also had a laser sword (yes a laser sword) and access to all empires weapons. The lines to get onto Solsar were pretty long so the devs started opening up more spots and everyone was crowded around Thoth so lag became an issue. From there the TR started to attack the outlying bases so that we could start fighting at thoth. Once the other bases were secure we began an assualt of Thoth which had the blackops VS and the normal VS. Well we were beating their butts so the devs starting hitting us with massive meteor showers and when that didn't work they just started turning our bases back to VS. Then they started the rabbit ball event. At this point the north was controlled by the NC the SW by the TR and the east by the VS (because the devs kept giving them the bases back after we took them). On Solsar the rabbit ball only spawns in the NE, NW and East , and the devs were playing on the NC and VS sides so the TR were kinda screwed. Then after about 30mins since the beginning of the event the fan faire people left and the devs quit cheating and the TR kicked some ass and won the rabbit. The devs also still hadn't put the new aircraft in the game for general use as of last night.
I should also point out that when the event started the TR held the majority of the conts. However during the event while we were fighting to keep or home cont the other empires took the opportunity to take back a lot of the conts.
All in all I would call the event an utter failure, my guess is that more people will quit over this. I haven't checked forumside yet but the general feel last night from the TR is that this was so shitty it wasn't worth the effort. Cause once again the Emmy TR got dumped on.
