EVE General Discussion

Yeah it felt like she was about to have a panic attack at any second.

Having done conferances and shows for 2 decades, i've seen this happen alot. It's often a result of more than one person sharing these. They can be adjusted in the neck so they sit better, but if your in a rush you forget it, and the mic usually bobs upwards. And if your smaller than the person that had it before you, it tends to pick up nose/mouth breathing.

It's actually a quite annoying microphone series, I've stopped using them, and mostly use Shure's "Countryman WCB2D Lavalier" microphone for these types of events. I recommend them wholeheartedly :) clips ftw !!

Hehe, thats because of the windscreen, they are infact quite small.

The fact that CCP Seagull looked terrified yet delivered a great talk was very impressive.

Thanks for this thread. I was waiting for a devblog of her to express my props to CCP Seagull, but this way it works even better.
In my opinion, her presentation at Fanfest didnt recieve all the admiration it deserved, so I'm here to compensate. Do I like the new theme she proposed? Hell yeah, I do!

I was among those players who joined EVE no because of all that grand epic blob battles. I was attracted by a "simple" fact that EVE economy is almost completely player-driven, and you have a chance to organize an enterprise of any size if you choose to. I was here to create.

It didnt work out well yet. You know all that "small portion of community" attitude from devs and "bears" despise from elitest pvpers. That's why I'm desperately happy to see a person in rank who actually understands what this game is about.

High five, Andie, great job!

Public speaking is an incredibly difficult thing to do .
try it sometime
try it in front of 5 people and see how you do - then think about doing it in front of a fanfest

I'd admire anyone who gets up on stage and does a presentation for more than 30 seconds

I also think ccp is very lucky to have CCP Seagull on board

+1(million)

She did great during fanfest. Ofc she was under heavy stress, but she has a nice style to bring things.

I'm assuming my post was deleted because I was quoting another post that was deleted.
So I'll just repost the portion that had nothing to do with that:

She seemed pretty cool, at least what little I saw of her (I only really saw her in the keynote, don't know if she spoke anywhere else). Really passionate about the game. Really sure of the direction she wanted to take.
I'm sure she'll get used to public speaking. But in the meantime, I think most people were more interested in what she was saying than how she was saying it, which is as it should be.

Long live CCP Seagull !
