People who usually make sense to one self are usually those who agree on most matters.

But a disenting opinion on the other hand sounds rather foreign and nonsensical.

Not to say the person who you are disagreeing with isn't a crap poster to being with. But understand everyone has a bias about people they agree with.


Cite the peer-reviewed double-blind study that verifies this otherwise your point is invalid :smug:.

Do the right thing. Give Goonswarm hundreds of billions of isk. Nay, give us trillions: we are better than SOMER and deserve greater CCP largesse. Thank you for your time, and the sabre bpos we so richly deserve.

I hereby declare that if CCP gives me any expensive ships I will promptly undock with them and auto-pilot them to every empire capital giving every player in the EVE universe the opportunity to kill me.

No amount of expansion features will help EVE once favoritism is the norm. I hope CCP still have Internal Affairs Department and rational people in it.

Bump.

While I don't like the idea of CCP giving away high-end free stuff to anyone. Giving such stuff to Goons (actual content creators) would serve a better purpose. On the other hand, The Goon Federation could call on "Open Season" on any/all of these Somer won ships. Makes winning a shiny ship somewhat pointless if you can never take it out for even one spin.


I dont think you understand the value of those ships.

It is open season no matter who undocks them, Golden Magnates would likely auction for over 100bn, people would probably suicide gank that even if they were in a pirate BS.

edit: I agree that actual content creators are more worthy of receiving them though.


Gank dat shiz in a titan if i could still worth it =)

Weaselior, you have to understand that the secret is there is no spoon!

When has not having the item or service being sold ever stopped a Goon from attempting to sell it?

Imagine the scamming you could get up to when you break the exciting news that CCP has relented and issues The Mittani DOT Com a limited run of 200 a Gold Magnates!

We won't need a business plan when CCP hands us trillions of free stuff just for being that awesome.


Damn, that's what I want as my business plan.

CCP, I'm only a new player, but I want in on this thing too. I'm honest and will use anything you give me to help further my interests in Eve and in doing so, help promote yours as well.

I plan on building a huge empire some day, so why not give me a leg up. Just a gentle help along my way.

A few faction ships or something would be fine. Hell, I wouldn't even be able to fly them, so no risk I'll use them myself. Happy to give them away in some form of scam. Call me. You have my details.

So a repeat of T20 is OK if CCP announce it first right?

You're suggesting an institutional/organizational pissing contest between goonswarm and somer? You're going to be disappointed at the outcome.

Goonswarm puts some medium-sized businesses to shame.


Funny you should say that. Is there a corporation in the real world run by goonswarm members and staffed by goonswarm members?

So at what point did Kittens tell all the goonies that they must spurge post on the Eve Forums with all their characters (including alts)

I mean its great and very entertaining, although there are a few who do seem to be taking this a mite too seriously and I think you should have a word with them, don't want any goonie to get too upset and damage their health, I suspect quite a few goonies have issues with high blood pressure, but all in all good show :)

I would consider this confirmed, looking at both the actions CCP and the lack of action from the CSM.

Also supporting Money For Goons. Game time running out soon enough anyway so why the hell not. Idea

I do beleive on the OP he is right about somerblink.

They are there to just take isk from players. However its a lottery and somerblink is nothing without chars wasting there isk
on a gamble.
It can pay off but a large percentage just end up losing isk.

But

On you point of your alliance gaining freebies is just stupid. You stand there beating your chest saying we are this we are that and we deserve free stuff is quite hilarious. You dont deserve anything.
You guys have enough space and enough isk already.

CCP should be giving the ships to the big lottery or run a lottery themselves. Like the old T2 bpo lotteries

Quoting "you will die" in EvE is fail Chars dont die in EvE. Unless you have a heart attack eek.

Pssst: That's his point, no player organisation deserves the developers of the game spawning them unique, limited edition assets worth hundreds of billions for them to use in order to promote and profit themselves

his point is that giving hundreds of billions of ISK to an arbitrary player run operation is dumb as hell and smacks of dev favoritism, he isn't actually expecting CCP to give goonswarm billions of ISK as well

Well apparently CCP hasn't talked to the CSM about this before they announced it. The organization CCP created to avoid another T20 incident wasn't even involved in this T20 incident.

Well apparently CCP hasn't talked to the CSM about this before they announced it. You know, the organization that they created to avoid another T20 incident.

That's one of the original issues, yes.
But CSM has been talked to now and this is all we have from them (on eve-o) since then.

They can't really do anything but say "hey we don't like this". What I'm taking from that post is exactly what I've taken from CSM posts on other contentious issues in the recent past: CCP doesn't care about the CSM anymore and just go ahead with whatever.

Edit: Not that they have to care, since the CSM has been a paper tiger for most of its existence.
