PRT Campaign 10 - Winner Announcement

[Mineral]

Hello PRT Community!

The last battle of the Project Reality Tournament Campaign 10 has been played. After an extremely close game on Saaremaa, EMF manages to cap a vital flag (ticket count was 19-19 at that time) and win the battle - with a 19-0 lead in tickets - and thus win the campaign. Congratulations to the Eastern Military Federation (EMF)!

During the past eight months, both teams have won and lost countless battles, have lost and gained multiple team members and trained hard to come out victorious. In the end, C10 of the official PR Tournament turned out to be the most balanced campaign to date.

The PRT Staff would especially like to thank [PR]PAC|Spook and [PR]EMF|Norby for their great sportsmanship and dedication to the campaign, that made possible to have agreements between the team to increase the fun, the balance and the intensity of the campaign significantly. Even if it sometimes meant a disadvantage, they picked maps, let go of assets or decided other aspects of the game together just for the sake of the campaign. The same goes for the commanders, [PR]PAC|Cruzmissile, [PR]EMF|Age and [PR]EMF|Danger, who - despite the possibly of loosing the battle - still decided to attack the enemy with full force instead of letting the battle turn into a 3-hours stalemate.

After all, for most of us, Project Reality is about having fun first and foremost and all of you made it possible - thank you!

The Project Reality Tournament Campaign 10 is over - but Project Reality is still very much alive. Therefore we are looking forward to work on Campaign 11 for Autumn/Winter 2015. In the meantime, the players of the tournament can use the experience they gathered and especially all their new buddies and friends to play Project Reality on public servers and spread the spirit and teamwork that the tournament stands for. Every PRT Member is of course allowed to keep wearing their [PR]PAC| and [PR]EMF| tags proudly.

The Admin team is currently discussing possibilities to run official Tournament-Events (Teamwork-Nights) over the course of the summer from time to time to get people back together and introduce the tournament to a wider player base.

In our mid-campaign survey we have already received great feedback from the players, but for the last battle we should let them speak for themselves:

Best and most intense battle ever played in PR!

That battle was super good. Probably the best one I've ever had, GG.

EMF won due to a flag cap that was at 95% for 20minutes, and was finalized by them when they and us were both at 19 tickets. A flag-cap basically decided the campaign in the last 5min of the battle. Battle would have been over within minutes if they would not have capped it

GG to all. Literally the closest, most intense fight to end a tournament anyone could wish for.

Very awesome last battle. It was the perfect closure for this tournament.

Thanks PAC for being that honorable enemy you people were. The amount of sportsmanship and fair-play between both teams if unbelievable.
Best fucking game ever for the last battle. I was literally shaking when we started capping those ~2%. G fucking G.

I loved how every tiny movement of the cap progress bar was met with intense cheering by all the guys in local, after everybody got jacked up on adrenaline to go for a final attempt to push PAC out of the cap zone. And the ~30sec nonstop screaming of joy after the victory screen popped up.

Best tournament/campaign ever, where no team has really lost. While EMF is the winner, I think everybody has gotten plenty of reward (=fun) for what they invested in the campaign. Thanks to everybody who contributed, this truly was a great community effort!

We would like to thank the community for their support and especially all members for their continued dedication and activity in battle-planning, trainings and battles.

Thanks to [PR]EMF|Rage for creating the battle-script that switches people to their respective teams automatically when they join.
Special thanks to retired [T-ADM]TomNedry for coding the SignUp, Event Management and Team Roster System for the PRT Website!
Special thanks to retired [R-DEV] BloodyDeed for providing the tournament with free battle and teamspeak servers!
And finally, thanks to the Project Reality Development and Management Team in their technical and spiritual support, making the campaign possible, as well as with providing the admin team with great tools to monitor the battles.


We hope to see you all in C11, it was a pleasure to work with all of you on this campaign.

[Onil]

Best PRT Campaign, Best Final Battle, Best Community Ever!

Thanks and Congrats to all who participated in and contributed to C10!

[Ranzpirat]

Thanks to both my EMF comrades and our honorable PAC enemys. Good matches need good and fairplaying opponents, and I think both teams did their best to provide just that for each other.

Thanks to all who participated and organized! One of my best PR experiences yet were in this C10!

[K4on]

I am glad it turned out so well. You've set the bar super duper high now!

[Barnard]

Can't wait for the next one!

[Ranzpirat]

Can't wait for the next one!

Even though you joined in kind of late into C10, I'm very happy that you did. The rounds and trainings were fun + you could spread the jabberwocky.

Congratss

The fact that it was such a close fight throughout that last battle means that PAC only theoretically lost, since they were our equal, right to the very end. Had the starting ticket count been 50 more or 50 less, the result could have been different.

I believe (I stand to be corrected if mistaken) that they also fielded 4 or 5 soldiers less than the amount that had shown up for the battle, as a sportsmanship gesture since EMF would have been some 4 to 5 players short otherwise. If this is the case, it needs to be recognized.

Great play throughout the Campaign by all! Hope there is going to be a Campaign XI.

If you're reading this and you haven't signed up, get ready to sign up this fall. Try to get hold of someone on the PR Tournament website (tournament.realitymod.com), or ask around when playing on the PR servers, since there might be tournament-related activities scheduled a few times this summer.

It has been an amazing journey, from the start to the epic end.

Congrats to EMF for the victory & <3 to all PAC's comrades


@Merchant
yes, some of us (4 I think) showed up and didn't play the last battle.

TI believe (I stand to be corrected if mistaken) that they also fielded 4 or 5 soldiers less than the amount that had shown up for the battle, as a sportsmanship gesture since EMF would have been some 4 to 5 players short otherwise. If this is the case, it needs to be recognized.

Actually 4(iirc, maybe 5) didn't participate yes. However otherwise it would be difference of around 10 players.

[Daniel]

Very excited to see who will be T-MGT and T-ADM next campaign!!

[Philrow]

Daniel do you want to join my squad for C11?

[_Fizzco_]

Daniel do you want to join my squad for C11?

[Daniel]

Depends Philrow, I'd like to do CAS, APCs or tanks... You do infantry?

[Philrow]

We can do CAS, np. I'm a pretty good pilot

[Ranzpirat]

Phil knows that I will buy a ticket to denmark and spank him if he does something else than infantry; so don't get your hopes up too high daniel.

[volks]

This was the best campaign I've ever joined so far. Keep it up everyone!

Big shoutout to PAC for the sportsmanship!
