For the Xmas event we should be allowed to place bounties on the devs in the "convoy leaving Polaris" whoever blows the dev up gets the majority of the bounty. Would be fun and could "sink" a lot of isk.

I would encourage the devs not to let up on the dev blogs. I know they are a lot of work and time taken away from actual work towards improving the game but those dev blogs are really important to many of us. Often they are the only reason I visit these forums. It's nice to know what is going on.

I read something recently about the devs stating there would be no more blogs until the expansion is done. This scares me.
I don't know where you read that but the person writing that must have been trolling you because there are a bunch of dev blogs lined up
In fact we have so many devblogs lined up already that we are having problems scheduling them in order to give each blog the spotlight and attention it deserves while at the same time publishing them all in a timely manner. I'm not kidding, how to fit all the upcoming devblogs and how to order them so the message delivery makes most sense was a topic of an internal discussion today.

I wish those kinds of problems were more frequent.

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands. Just publish them.
No, because we need to "give each blog the spotlight and attention it deserves".
So we will see one tomorrowTwisted
And then another and then another and then...

You've been talking to too many manager types today, you've got Boss-Speak in your vocabulary. A good evening of drinking will burn that stuff out though, you're going to be okay.

That's going to take a lot more drinking. I hear you have some good strong stuff there, though.

Oh, what a shocker, Explorer can speak bossish.

And I'm afraid that a long time with CCP has proven that alcohol hasn't cured him ...

No, we need you properly and precisely inebriated. Developers gain superhuman coding ability at or around 0.1337% BAC.

The part I read at the start of that news 24 article:

Please keep in mind these are mere “summaries” and “notes” of the presentations, written in haste and with a very vague sense of specificity on the mentioned subjects.

Hmmm... Incomplete and vague - admitted at the start. Now we have CCP saying they'll flesh out the details a bit more and implying that it'll be a tad more detailed than what they have so far.

If it's ganker heaven by allowing bounties on anyone, at any time, that'll be a bad thing and highly abused - perma-hulkageddon with bounties placed on any miner right before you gank them and the like... If it has some type of constraint on who can put bounties on whom - such as the current "negative sec status" - potentially not so bad. The more actual risks to those that won't go find fights with others who want to fight, the better off the game will be.

I'd personally like to see bounties be faction based. So even if you have a 5.0 sec status, if you have low standings with Amarr, it would be possible to put a bounty on your head in their space, making you a legal target but only in Amarr space (though killing anywhere would collect, there would be penalties for crossing into other space to kill someone - up to concordonked.)

It's a wait and see what CCP says, then what they actually roll out on test, then what we actually see go live - whenever the hell that may be. :-)
