Now that we all know that a monument to the glory of the playerbase of EVE online will be built, it's time to adress the elephant in the room.

Imagine this

An Icelandic tourist gazes in wonder at the monument, in awe of the immortal demigods inscribed in the granite, names celebrated by the EVE famous, and then he counters this.

Gaylord Fappington

shocked, he browses the list, and discovers other prestigious names, such as.

xXxSePhIrOtHSSJ420xXx W33D4LYFE

Jewgold Bignose

3DGAYWORLD

WEEDLORD BONERHITLER

Myas Clockgobble

Pizzaface McAwox

DurrHurrDurr

Backdoor Bandit

There's no way that this can turn out badly

Edit: and this is just the short list of names discovered with 5 minutes on EVE kill.

CCP is gonna need a whole plinth to inscribe the variations/combinations/permutations of "black", "[slur for male genitalia]", and "weed" courtesy of broski north.

had a good laugh.

I guess weedlord bonerhitler also got launched into space with the rest of us?

Add Angry Mustache to that list.

They're of Nordic heritage. I wouldn't sweat it that they'll be offended. Look at some of the names of real people from their country:

It won't be a problem since I have it on good authority that no one in Iceland can read English. The proof is in how little attention was made by CCP in the rapid launcher and omni nerf threadnaughts.

I didn't realise Iceland has tourists that weren't EVE players/volcanologists

The real question is which character is your main and will have their name immortalised?

I'm kind of pulling for Ramona to be unbanneded by then, but either way, there can be only one Billy so both of you should be on it.

I'm sure there is a niche market of people that like to role play that they are vikings also.

The character on your account with the most skillpoints is your "main" and will be added to the list.
