In-Game Events and Gatherings

It seems like the haters are the most vocal here...

I'd like to point out that this entire proposal has started because of Mad_Ani's viewers. They were the ones who said CCP should hire him. He's doing this because the part of the EVE community that likes his stream have asked him to do it. I think he's interested in expanding on what he currently does, not just continuing the station-watching trying to catch fights.

No ****, no handleb...pigtails, no "I hate the community", no wish list for people to buy you stuff, nothing indicating you're doing anything in the spirit of Eve Online.

Denied.

I have listened to mad ani for a little bit and I have come to the conclusion that this guy cares more about himself than he does about EVE. So please do not give this guy a Job it would be a waste of my subscription money.

It took you this long? :o.

If it was towards the start of the fountain war when he first started streaming, he wasn't as bad as he was now, and he actually cared about his 35-45 viewers or so. But now that the power has gone to his head, he's become a massive selfish prick that begs on the forums for CCP to hire him, because he thinks he's above the community and superior to us. Like, he begged his stream for the money to buy a new PC so he can "stream better," and he already has new excuses as to why he can't stream good content in fights, and is asking for more money naturally..............

I don't know if I can quote like this, but here it goes. I erased the rest of the text so this could be more easily seen.

Where exactly is written something like: CCP I BEG you, give me a job!"?

There are so many hate comments here, on twitter and even on his stream, with players creating names pretending to be CCP...why exactly? If you don't like it, just say you don't think he deserves a job for it. This post wasn't created as a job proposal or something like that as some people seem to believe.

I just wanted to make sure some people would actually read Ani's post and check some of these "facts" that so many people have been posting.

Good man.

*Snip* Please refrain from discussing RMT. ISD Ezwal

Him changing it to sub-mode only isn't that big of a deal. He provoked that sort of response due to his own actions both prior to this thread being made and post which include but are not limited to:

- Asking for real world money to "improve" the stream.
- Asking for in-game money to "improve" the stream.
- Banning people who differed from his point of view.
- Banning people who told him how to improve the stream in their opinion.
- Banning people who commented his 'analysis' as a 'journalist' were incorrect.
- Complaining about people asking a question he may have gone over earlier in a fight.
- Negatively responding to people who have provided non-malicious criticism.
- Created a thread asking CCP to hire him on the merits of a stream where most of the time it is him being AFK. (Basically CCP paying someone to not do anything 80% of the time)

In short, he isn't as much of a victim as you may think when he provoked and gave reason for this sort of response from people.

Some haters some lovers - nothing new.

The Fact is he provides streams from fights, events and make some roams and highsec races. Yes there are others who are also streaming, but not in this quantity and quality and furthermore not so many big fights. He misses only a few because of timezone or private issues. The truth is no one can match his activity in the moment.

The programm for the fans is ok - Sometimes there are raffles for the viewers or subscribers – some argue there are more for the subscribers but thats ok because they pay real money for his stream.

But also for non EvE-Players ani provides infos – yes he must repeat himself over and over but thats normal when outsiders are watching the stream.

So over all the advertisement for EvE and CCP is high. His stream is even linked on normal gaming sites.

So hire him as an independent moderator so he can focus all his time on the streams. I hope the „eve weekly“ would appear as video show

The best is – to Find another steamer in other timezones e.g. US-Prime so they can provide toghether the streams with normal work times.

By all the logic going on in this thread, CCP should also hire the editorial staff of TMC.

Also, if you pay money to be entered into a for-profit raffle, and you can't enter the raffle otherwise, that's potentially illegal, depending on the state.

1. Yes, thats true but there is no one who is streaming the big events beside him. Only sometimes i mentioned the PL steam.
2. No, because it´s random it´s a giveaway thats not the same as a gamble site where stuff is assigned by lot.
3. I sayed it before it may be but that can be an opinion or interpretation. I don´t think all is false but iam new too so i dont judge this.
4. Don´t think so because you answered it yourself with answer Nr. 1 ..... stream 9-5 without beeing payed ...
