...but nothing back yet. This is something i'm not willing to discuss over an open forum but i can't think where else to go to ask how long i should wait for a reply. Any suggestions?

Inb4 standard bs/trolls/etc etc ad nauseum - looking for actual adults with actually useful responses (a tough ask, i know) please :)

seriously...

You are asking the users of an internet spaceship forum how long it will take a company who none of us work for, how long they will take to reply to an unknown 'super secret' proposal you sent them.

If you're serious contact CCP directly, its not hard, although I'd guess you're not serious considering you're posting about it on an internet spaceship forum.

I would put my money on never but I wouldn't get any payout then. I'll do 10 mil on 2 months instead but I want to just say that more than likely your proposal met the fate of the office 'out' bin.

Do you smell what the Lock's cooking?

Kinda wondering if anyone has had any interaction on "that" level with CCP before, hence the shot-in-the-dark forum post. But your input is appreciated, cheers :)

If your "RL Business Proposal" was structured, worded, and as well thought out as your inquiry to its status is, I would imagine that it is posted on their wall of shame somewhere.

Fun Fact: The wall of shame is not a wall but is in fact a dumpster.

Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

That is exactly my thoughts on it. And even if it was actually done well this thread more or less just shot it out of the water as it is displaying a bit...less than professional attitude. OP should have taken the initiative and contacted whoever they sent the information to last time and ask for an update and possibly a video conference to explain their proposal.

Instead of e-mailing them, I called but got the message that "your business idea is important to us" recording followed by being put on hold and listening to Bjork music for 6 hours. I think they might be interested, so I'll try again tomorrow.....

To buck the popular trend, I began to Rage Start instead of Rage Quit.

...and every time I get another piece of Carbon, I know exactly what CCP is getting this Christmas.

You've got to be kidding me. If you where anywhere near serious this should be the last place to post.

I get these emails all the time, and I bet they have much better potential than what ever you sent to CCP.

Well, if for some reason they didn't want to buy in on your obviously fantastic business plan, your posting in this amazing contact effort in the ideal location where all of the people you are hoping to reach and impress will certainly engage them, win them over and make them see the true value in all that you offer.

I'm pretty sure that is more that one sentence, but I'm sticking to my singular punctuation effort.
