What?

The Militia Prize Fund is an EM-operated fund the purpose of which is to encourage Minmatar Militia participation by giving isk prizes to corporations / pilots scoring well in the Militia work.

The fund will weekly distribute 1/4 of its current isk balance and a free choice from current list of prize items to the Minmatar corporation having earned highest place on the Faction Warfare Statistics past 7 days listing of top 10 corporations. If no corporation places, or if only the TLF general corporation does, prize will be given to highest placing pilot on the individual pilots list.

Prize payout will usually happen on Sunday each week. (Exceptions can happen.) The winner will get the isk directly and evemailed instructions on how to pick their item prizes, if any. Items will not be delivered.

Why?

To encourage Militia pilots to do the complex work in addition to the pewpew, and to reward those who do. (It is a boring and unthankful job, but very necessary.)

How?

The money comes from donations. (A separate fund wallet is set up for this to avoid the isk being mixed with funds for other purposes.)

We will take:
- direct donations of isk
- pledges to contribute certain sums (e.g. percentages of your wages or whatever) over longer time
- contracts of Stuff™ that can be used as prizes
- contracts of junk that can be recycled into minerals, which will then be sold to alliance corporations at Quant 7-day index prices and the money used for the fund
- contracts of minerals for the same purpose

Wire all isk to Elsebeth Rhiannon and please note in the message that the isk is for this fund. Contract items to Elsebeth Rhiannon (anywhere inside the Minmatar Republic). If you wish the donation to be in the name of someone else but the pilot wiring the isk / contracting the items (or to remain anonymous), please note so in the message.

Now?

Current ISK balance: 150 M (next isk prize estimated as minimum 38 M).

+ anonymous donators

Congratulations to Independent Corp who took the first ever prize at 7,007 points! This week's isk prize was 60.5 Misk. It is notable that this is all the work of just one pilot, namely Sasawong. He has been sent a mail asking for his preference of the prize items.

The fund is of course still accepting any and all donations for to continue this work!

Congratulations again to Independent Corp who not only took the price again but also raised their victory score from 7,007 points to 7,613! Also in general, Minmatar militia complex work is on the rise, both absolute and per pilot. Thrace Inc was there quite close for a couple of days in points, but in the end did not rise quite to Sasawong's figures - maybe next week now that they have had the time to settle in.

Keep those donations coming! Remember I will take your junk loot out of your hands and put it to good use!

Congratulations to 17th Minmatar Tactical Wing for becoming the second corporation in history to win this prize! 52M isk and a Republic Fleet smartbomb have been wired. We were also delighted to see that complex work is really on the rise now. 17th took the prize with 11,136 points, Independent Corp. broke their two-week record at 9,196, and Tribal Core also broke last week's winning score with their 7,669 points! Excellent work, ladies and gentlemen.

Still accepting donations to keep this running!

After a short break in the routine, the prize this week goes again to Sasawong of Independent Corp, at 8,109. Prize was 42 million isk. Donations much appreciated to push it back above 50M!

Congratulations to Valklear Guard, this week's winner of 39 million isk at a very impressive 13,656 points! I think this proves that the recent coup and theft did not serve the interests of the enemy as they no doubt hoped for; former 17th is on the field and as effective as ever.

And this isk week goes back to Sasawong of Independent corp with the Valklear very close second! It has been really a breathtaking experience to watch those stats over the week, what a close race! (43 million forwarded.)

Congratulations to Lightning From A Clear Sky, this week's winner of the EM militia prize for plexing, with a totally awesome 19,462 VP. 69 million isk transferred.

Congratulations to Tribal Core, this week's winner, with a score of 13,400. 54 million isk transferred and mail sent to CEO Angry Fist about prize item selection. It is notable that the victory here was in major part due to pilot Tapir DK, the same person who was responsible for last weeks victory for Lighting From A Clear Sky, now working for Tribal Core.

Note: due to statistics being bugged, the militia prize was not given out this week. We return to regular service next week.
