Well... I joined M2S. It was a given that I'm not very clear in dah head.

But I was wondering... Can't we have automatic tournament PvP feature?
Some kind of "training wheels" for new players that wants to start learning the ropes of PvP.

The basis of it would go like that:

1) Broadcast message:
A message to the whole server would warn everyone that a Championship is about to begin, and people have 30min to head toward the nearest outpost.

- Any outpost would be fine. I will explain later why.

2) A new menu would appear in the terminal, and people would be able to select a league to register. And select a premade bot from a list. (A free bot, just for the tournament, so no-one really loose anything of value, and everyone plays fair with the same constrains.)

As for the leagues:
Let's say we could have a beginner 2v2 lightbots league. Free to join, reward 10k Nic for each battle won.
An Intermediate league: Light/Light Ewar/Assault,   50k to register, the money is placed in a common pool and the winner of the tournament wins all.
A Veteran, no limit league, 100k to register... etc.

Alternatively, to make things even more fun, we could reward the winners with some "random containers" than might carry the same content as Artifact scanning stashes.
let's say the 3rd place gets level 1 stashes
the 2nd place gets level 2 stashes
the 1st place gets level 3 stashes

3) Once you registered to a League and picked a pre-made bot from the available list, you wait until the 30min delay is complete, and then all players from the same league will be teleported/connected to the selected bots located on the arena's bleachers.

The first Match will then starts 5min later, teleporting the 2 teams in the arena, and a new match will begin every 15min.

Fights will be limited to 10min max. If no-one dies the match will be considered a loss for both teams.
(depending on the fights, we might want to accelerate the system, or automatically start the next match 5min after a winner is declared.)

This can either be a direct elimination match, or a round-robin. Depending on how-long we want the tournament to last.

Winners gets the prizes.

4) The lore:

You might probably know that we are humans remotely controlling robots from Earth/orbital Station/Outpost.
Anyway, the important word is "Remotely". So by staying in any terminal, nothing prevents us from running battle simulations, or other pre-made bots in a far away island.

Therefore, I don't really see any issue to have some free PvP matches located on a distant island, using disposable bots. Or we can all pretend it's just a simulation. I don't care, all I want is a fair PvP open to everyone.
