Aww... Here I was hoping it would be a regular Cape show broadcasted live from inside a giant free for all match.
It'll be more or less a regular show broadcasted live from inside a bunch of giant team matches. 
Killing a live DJ is weird.
Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham...
Tomorrow (as I'm writing this) I will be taking my show to the Arena for a fun night of some kickballs and other misc. 'fun matches.'
"What? The Cape does PvP?"
I'm DJ Blue, The Cape's 'serious' DJ, and it's my intention to bring PvP to a broader audience. The focus on these matches will be having fun and teaching less knowledgeable PvPers how to play a little better. If you are a casual or non-pvper you are more than welcome to come down and give it a shot. If you are a PvPer you are also welcome. The show starts Sunday at 9pm PST, midnight EST at the Pocket D arena terminals. We'll run for at least 2 hours. If you want to listen to the live show and commentary, head to www.thecaperadio.com where you can listen to me run my mouth and play some jammin video game music.
The matches will all be set to level 30 in order to better accomodate people without max level characters. However, we may do some more heavyweight matches if we get a lot of demand for it. If you bring a character under level 28 or so, I cannot really let you participate so if you do want to show up, bring an appropriately leveled character. Also, if you'd like to switch between matches, feel free. Because kickballs are team-oriented, support classes and squishies are very useful. Don't think you have to take a damage class to compete.
Kickballs are an old Arena PvP invention, and the term confuses many new people to the scene. The game starts with two people as team captains, whom I will probably select at random from whoever decides to volunteer to be captain. Each person will take turns selecting team members from the participants until either each team is full or there are no more participants. If we have an odd number, I'll ask for someone to volunteer to sit out, or I will do it if everybody wants to play. If there are too many people (more than 16), preference will be given to the people who have not played yet (you'll have to pick from these people first if you are a captain) so that everyone has a chance to play. If you just want to observe, let us know and feel free, we'll be turning observers on so everyone can see what is happening.
We'll also be doing some other 'fun' matches, like free for alls and all-melee matches (no squishies or stalkers). If there's some demand, we can do a round of duels where people can freely challenge others.
Small Inspirations will be used at the event, as well as arena temporary powers. If you need influence to buy inspirations from the inspiration vendors behind the bar, ask someone. Most people in attendance will be more than willing to spot you some cash.
The rules will be ten minute, timed matches, where the team with the most kills at the end wins. Manage your inspiration trays accordingly!
The last thing that I want to mention is something I feel a little bad for. Please don't use phase shift. Normally I agree that all strategies and tactics should be used and if you can't defeat your opponent, then you lost and that's it. However, phase is really annoying and ruins the satisfaction of 'getting you back' for killing them. I truly believe that phase makes PvP tons more degenerate, way less fun and should be removed entirely. On the other hand, targeted phase (eg. caging) is perfectly fine. Feel free to abuse it.
The main goal is to have fun and enjoy ourselves. This means NO unsportsmanlike conduct. I am specifically referring to trash talking, 'tea bagging' or any such disrespectful actions. This applies also to the losers if they decide to take the fact that they lost or died or whatever personal. If you act like a jerk you will not be invited into this event or any future events that I run. Every competitor should be treated with the utmost respect, even if they are less capable than you. If you are an experienced PvPer and someone is frustrated, offer to teach or mentor them instead of putting them down.
Above all, have fun, kick butt, learn something, and remember that you're not super until you put on The Cape!
