At the beginning of June, knowing we hadn't had a PVM competition in a long time, I began searching for a rival. After searching various clans I stumbled upon Forsaken and we decided on a 10 day competition beginning on the 1st of July. Knowing that Forsaken regularly has PVM competitions I was a little apprehensive regarding our chances, but I couldn't have been more wrong.
As soon as the competition commenced we set up as many PVM teams as we could, the first few days we're a little slow due to the 4th of July weekend taking away some of our yanks. Over the weekend we gained approximately ~200m in loot, conversely forsaken camped a lot of Barrows/Dks for points and hit the jackpot on a corp trip. Spurred on by the pre-emptive celebrations from some Forsaken members we stepped our game and camped Corporal beast. By day 5 in the competition we had no lifed corp and acquired over 80 onyx bolts drops and 6 sigils, however we we're still in search of "TheElyDream". On day 6 the dream became a reality as Mr Ely himself stepped up. Spurred on by our new found luck and now commanding lead in the competition we kept our foot on the gas for the rest of the competition.

I can honestly say I've been amazed with the level of participation. From the true hardcore who have PVM all day every day, to those who just came along whenever they could, to the New Blood and clan friends who joined in, it's been fantastic. Most nights we peaked at ~30 in teamspeak, with over 50 in clan chat - that is pretty crazy. I'd like to thank everyone who got involved, it's been a great 10 days and we'll certainly look to do more in the future.
I'd like to thank Jordy and the others from Forsaken who made the competition pretty seamless, I know first hand how AIDS it can be if the other clan isn't organised. I'd also like to thank my boy Rob & the other officials who helped with the organisation, you are beats.
