Fighting against the game itself?

Prize:

- ????????????????
- ??????????????????.
- ?????????????????????????????.
- ?????????.

Share some light on this, please.

The nature of the tournament means the prizes (what you get) are actually in proportion to how long you can stay alive for.
So there is no definite prize, and I honestly can't really show a prize because I don't know how long people will stay alive for .

Mind you, this is literally the 3rd point (out of three points) in the guidelines...

So we can all do nothing for a year and then kill everyone and the bonus would be crazy ?

Sure, assuming someone doesn't kill you

Shoutbox works beautifully xD

Bit of confusion with the prizes (and whether or not you should join due to lack of activity), it's best you do join regardless because the prizes are based on a summation of time spent in the arena (i.e you will probably all get the same one).

Confusing? More people in there = bigger possible prize for you.

.1. Does it make any difference when you actually sign up ?

anytime within the next 2 days, ie before it actually commenses
no, we all start of with same amount of turns.. its not like playing your own account at all.. your actually account goes on hiasis until you are knocked out ..

That in mind, some things ARE used from your 'normal' account, CS, powerups etc. General resources are standardized.

I didn't think you were having CS in this one

There isn't really... there are 4 different types of arenas, deathmatch, team deathmatch, race war and this new one.

Deathmatch, you kill anyone and everyone, to 'kill' someone you need to get their defence and defence planets to under 15 bill and 500k (I think ). Once a person is killed (or usually called booted), untrained planets are rewarded to the person who did the most damage in the past 36 hours to the player that was just killed. Planets rewarded are based on how much you killed, to a max and a min value.
That's basically the idea, the general gameplay is sped up, you gain more turns and income per TC, you unphase faster (and every time you login you completely unphase). Once there are like 10 people left, you get double turns per turn.
Once the arena start countdown hits 0 you have 12 hours to decide when you want to join (obviously the earlier you join the more turns and income you get compared to others). After 12 hours everyone is forced in.

team deathmatch is basically like the one above, except you pick a 'unit' to be in at the start (instead of waiting to be thrown in, when you sign up you enter a lobby where everyone who joined is listed, you can make a unit, request players to join etc). The difference in mechanics between the two is in your unit you only have designated functions you can use, your leader can set what attacks you can do (which is obviously restricted).
Prizes for deathmatch are given out based on what rank you got, prizes for team deathmatch is similar but your team is ranked, not just singular people, and the prize is given to all of your members in the unit.

Race war is like deathmatch except it's based on your race.

And of course, you start off with standardised resources with your powerups and CS coming from your 'normal' account. To counteract a bit of the massive difference in sizes, the average powerup is taken and anyone under gets extra planets based on how little they are (there is a max to what they can get).

The general idea was to basically have a sort of fast paced war, sort of like the old days on main when you took shifts watching logs and repairing and such . Except the war doesn't effect your normal resources. And sizes are a bit more leveled out. Mind you there have been some quite small players that have made it to nearly the end of the matches.

This new one, well obviously people are about to find out. Usually on the signup page there is a guideline list that tells you a brief layout of what is changed from normal gameplay.
