"Don't just assume that because a locator agent finds me in one system that I will be holding the event there... :) save your iskies, I'll announce the location here in this thread the night before."

so before I go to bed this evening, I'll update the OP with the location, or first thing after DT if I doze off at the KBD

Tonight saw the evening of Giving in the Gamis System, and what a night it was.

Billions of ISKs worth of presents were handed out, dropped, hidden and scrambled throughout Gamis by Santa Spirit, his helpers, and even some random people who just felt like giving.

It was a great event, a great laugh, and definitely put the residents of New Eden in the Xmas Mood.

I must thank Santa and his helpers for my Aura Warp Core Stab and Core Probe Launcher bpc's

and hope the recipients of the Imperial Slicer, Succubus and 2 Genolution Core Aug CA-2 implants i gifted enjoy their gifts.

Many thanks for all the effort you & your special Helpers put into this event.
This Rookie was made to feel really special. Every time I returned to the station, after a spot of mining, a barrage of fireworks would go off. Big smile

My gift was a Cyclone blueprint.

New Years Resolution. Figure out what manufacturing is all about.

What a day we all had. Thank you Santa Spirit and bigger thank you to your very sexy helpers.

I had fun from the start and to the point I had to go to bed at 2am EVE time

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I made out well. I always wanted an Abaddon. Pretty sweet.

The local chat was lively and entertaining too. A lot of people stuck around after getting a gift. Throughout the event the system had 150-200 players in it, coming and going.

Things lasted a pretty long time. I got there at 6:00 PM EST and probably got a present by 7 or 8 or so. Not bad for a "soft start" at 4:00 PM EST. I heard the was as snowball fight and fireworks fight. Sadly I missed it.

Tip: Give back the boxes (cans) to Santa. That is all the more resources that can be put into gifts for next year.

One thing: A lot of people (myself included) asked how to get a gift from Santa.
Here is how: Dock in station and set the message charge to zero (under EVEmail settings).

Common sense really, but I honestly thought I would have to do more.

Once again I am sitting here writing a "post Event" message to say thank you to all of those who donated, helped and attended the event.


Technically, between items, ships blueprints and cans we gave out thousands of items, we had ship scrambles, can scrambles, a conga line to distract folks from the orca dumping out presents and of course the rookie battle... (note to self, don't put the mobile tractor unit out until after the battle starts next time, it steals the trit can before you get started)
We had an Easter egg hunt of a sort in the belts looking for things that might have fallen out of the rip in my goodie bag, over 250 small secure cans outside of the station with gifts in them and at one point, i think we even exceeded 225 people and maybe even a few more in system.
and while I got the 100b figure from EvE mon last year, it's been buggered for a while on prices, so I have no idea how much the total value of everything was this year except to say that I'm fairly sure it was a good number based on seeing every item as I personally put them into cans prior to the event.

All of those statistics are great if you want to crunch the numbers as in XX presents / XX happy campers + XX level of interaction = WIN or LOSE


Fortunately, being Santa, I have the ability to see beyond that.
The Grinch was there and we got to literally see his heart grow and the spirit of Christmas giving take over his soul, we had people running around with suspect timers who were NOT being shot, people were linking their presents in local, laughing, talking and giving things to other folks as well...
I saw folks who came last year showing up and talking about last year, I saw folks who were just a few weeks old getting things they'd never seen or thought of, I saw folks helping each other with advice, mods, techniques and even ships.

I saw the spirit of Christmas and goodwill toward man........
I kind of jokingly told someone in local that there was a little bit of me in everyone and that all they had to do was set me free and watch the magic.

I didn't realize it at the time, but as I watched, I saw that magic at work and it was good...

I thank you all, and I/We wish you all the Merriest Christmas possible with glad tidings and Joy for you and your families.

Santa

See you all next year I hope

PS.
My present was you folks, the fun and the time... it's all I needed for "my" Christmas present

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.
