You have enough for one dose.
Doh! Instead of injecting The Pope with it, you have accidentally injected CCP with it.

So the next question you ask CCP, they will have to answer truthfully without marketing spin or colourful word play. What question do you ask?

Stressing, this is hypothetical btw, I doubt there is a substance in the universe that could get a reliably truthful statement out of CCP.

Are you trying to inflate subscriber numbers at any cost in order to raise the value of CCP/EVE Franchise for the sole purpose of going public/negotiate the sale of CCP/EVE Franchise?

Damn nature, you scary!

I don't think so. That would mean licencing out Carbon and that is all CCP really has from a valuable IP point of view. Properties like "EvE" in and of themselves value up and down based on the whims of consumers. If you are an investor, you wouldn't invest in anything so fleeting or insubstantial, you would invest in the platform.

You do know that mining is boring and repetetive, right? Any plans to fix that... ever?

I believe this can also be achieved realistically by buying a lot of drinks for CCP at the Celtic Cross.

Yes, I'm jealous I can't be at Fan Fest to put my theory to the test. Cool

I would ask:
- How many CCP employees engaged in solo PVP more than 30 times in the last 60 days? How many kills and losses were there?
- How many CCP employees engaged in small gang PVP more than 30 times in the last 60 days? How many kills and losses were there?
- How many CCP employees engaged in fleet PVP more than 30 times in the last 60 days? How many kills and losses were there?
- How many CCP employees PVPed in high sec in the last 60 days? How many kills and losses were there?
- How many CCP employees PVPed in low sec in the last 60 days? How many kills and losses were there?
- How many CCP employees PVPed in null sec in the last 60 days? How many kills and losses were there?
- How many CCP employees PVPed in W Space in the last 60 days? How many kills and losses were there?

Question to you - must they know what the true answer is or can this provide the answer to any question?

If the latter: "What is this weekends' lottery numbers? I'll invest a lot of it in PLEX, promise."

If the former: "What are your detailed plans and deadlines for WiS?"
