EVE Fiction

I'm expecting a medal. And it better have lots of character to it. I put a lot into this effort, and sorry a forum post doesn't cut it. Militaries give out campaign medals and badges routinely, expecially in victory.

This is probably something you want to take to the Live Events forum, and we can discuss it there.

We're already looking at hosting Live Events away from the normal EU timezone though, there are several threads about it there

i hope you can move amarr away from the pure evil racist, slavery image. Its probably the most negative perceived faction out there.

So CCP Falcon how hard would it be to have a Scope or ACN actor/guy to live stream some of these events with only a local/story player fleet channel pulled up? to archive for historical purposes for those who do miss out? He wouldn't have to do much other that show up and maybe focus camera on interesting events as they happen.

I'd like to think live events needs more advertising. I keep telling stories how a Jovian admiral went rogue and it took over 200 battleships to deal with him, and constantly get balked at.

Sorry... the who?

Jovian technology: erasing the memories of players as well as characters.

Oh, gee, why didn't I think of that? Oh, right, I did. I have contacted my faction contact, and what I got in return was about as useful for my RP or anything else as a fork for eating chowder. I'm glad others are enjoying their interactions, as for me, mine rather encouraged me to relocate my efforts solely to space.

Anyway, during those two events, I imagine I was at work, because CCP believes that only Europeans should get access to live events. Sarcasm, yes, but if you're going to ask a question like that, you rather deserve a sarcastic answer. I understand that CCP employees are not enamored of getting up at one in the morning to do a live event, and I don't quibble with your right to a good night's sleep. But to turn that around and then use it as a rhetorical cudgel, when I, too, have a life, is insulting. And unfair. I have made an effort to involve myself in live events, and have the killmail of a Sansha actor's Wyvern and his corpse (which I podded) to prove it. But I can't make it to every live event.



Seems reasonable. On the other hand, as noted, you've managed to create a breach of trust (via the patch) with many on one faction's side, and perhaps more, because I am aware of many unhappy Amarrian RPers as well. We don't know that it will be fair from here on out, in fact, given previous live events (such as the Bleak Lands), it seems rather obvious that CCP might continue with side-picking behavior. I'm not sure what way you have out of this, but you might consider being more careful about decisions which appear biased from an outside perspective.



Actually, I think the Gallente should get a medal. I'm certainly not saying that they shouldn't, I'm criticizing how CCP aided them - however intentionally or not - in getting there. But we can't be denying players a reward because the company screwed up. That would be...well, punishment of the innocent.



Yes, yes, and how am I to rally them when they can point to the above issue and say "why should I fight when they'll just pull that again?"

I can't speak for the entire militia, but I can speak for those I've heard, and the discouragement and anger doesn't come from Gallente efforts, or even perceived cheating, but by the way CCP handled the defensive changes that made keeping systems so much easier. At this point, we expect that if we retake systems, or even take Gallente systems, we can expect a nerf to LP and to other benefits that accrue from such success.



This is the line the most tempts me to start spewing obscenities. I've been a Caldari RPer, and a PvPer, for a long time. I've had to take breaks from the game now and then, usually to real life considerations, but I've flown with some of the most venerable Caldari corporations, and participated greatly in the long history of Eve. I've fought in Placid, in Essence, Black Rise, and Lonetrek. When I decided that my RP required bringing my Angel standings up from -9.89, I went to Syndicate and ran missions for three months solo and without blues to raise my standings, since the Syndicate was the only corporation I could raise them by missioning for. I exploded a phantasm (when they were expensive) over Gallente Prime as a protest at a Federation Day celebration. I've fueled POS's and run goods through pirate infested low-sec as part of a Caldari industrial organization. And I've flown beside Damar Rocarion, Super Chair, Cosmic Raider, and other long time Caldari warriors, and killed (and been killed by) people like Val Erian, X Gallentius, Seriphyn Inhonores, Chatgris, Hussain, and other long time Gallente FWers.

So, the days of supporting the State with a few posts are over. Oh, my, whatever shall I do? Well, probably what I have been doing for most of my time with internet spaceships - putting my ISK on the line, doing exactly what I say I'll do, and killing every opponent I can. Your contempt and condescension...well, I hope you enjoyed displaying it. I don't think that I find myself particularly vulnerable to it.

If you guys want to talk Live Events, take it over to the right forum.

This one is not the place for it, and this thread has already slid off topic enough
