I don't think there's ever been a CCP event that actually turned out the way you guys had it imagined, has there? :P

The ~Dust~ integration event thing with the glassing the planet went okay. Was good fun at least, even if there was the odd hiccup.

I think the main thing that can be learned from this is that if you're putting something up for stake you have to be really goddamned clear with the rules else it will always turn into a sh*tstorm.

Pretty sure less than ten people whining in a thread for 30 pages isn't a **** storm. It's just a tiny group of people whining like the children they are in hopes it will get them their way in the future.

Didn't you guys get a bunch of fireworks from killing them? Maybe you can stage your own private celebration and crown yourself the True Kings of Lowsec.





You still won't have the flag, but you'll get to see all those pretty lights they gifted you.

I don't really understand the point of this post, so I'll use my reply to pose a question:

Do you think CCP should have stated kills against them won't count in the OP? (Especially since the wording of the OP said that "all kills regardless of circumstance" would count)

One thing you'll have to learn when you eventually get out of high school is that life isn't fair. Deal with it.

Are you able to answer the question without giving a meaningless and inapplicable reply? (Since life being not fair generally relates to events that can't be controlled, and CCP could quite easily have written whether or not CCP kills would be counted in the OP :) )

@Ed, Haha, that's such a childish reply tbh. Anyway, we're rehashing arguments already made. I think only XBeast had a go at doing it rationally (and he made some decent points).

My expectations are CCP will make one more post in this thread to say the flag is going up and lock it, and totally ignore the last 30 odd pages because what are they possibly going to say? In a perfect world I'd love to see some explanations as to the spirit of the competition they envisaged, the method of calculation and some noncommital 'oops'.

Life isn't fair indeed, but threadnoughts afterwards are part of life too!

Well I was saying that you received your reward from killing CCP- a generous amount of fireworks pried from their wrecks- and that you should use this reward to celebrate yourselves rather than cry here.

At least it would be far more cheery than cravenly gathering around the corpse of your hopes and dreams of being Kings of Lowsec and viciously beating it into the ground!

Why attempt rational on children throwing a temper tantrum when standing back and letting them tire themselves out is so much more productive? No one has or is going to take your "arguments" seriously.

Yes, of course asking simply whether you think CCP should have stated the validity of kills on CCP in the OP is identical to throwing a temper tantrum.

Are you avoiding answering the question because you know the answer is "Yes they should have told people upfront whether they were planning to include CCP kills or not"?

So when you ignore a question in order to instead pose one its fine and dandy but when I clarify the very post that you were confused about its somehow malicious, rather than generously assisting a more mentally deficient fellow eve player?

Actually, multiple members of PL have, I simply ignore all the sperglords in between (that includes Darkflare for 99%). You're not exactly standing back, you're still hypocritically trying to point out not to take anything in eve seriously through posting, by posting about it. I think what Darkflare wanted, in between the spam, is for CCP to give some indication as to why they made the call they did, and where the calcs came from.

It's not like we're sitting here going OMG EX-PL CCP DUDES ARE BIASING **** TO PL, because as much as the relationship might be there, I understand they are people like everyone else and hold to a professional standard being CCP employees (and if they didn't someone with a bigger stick would come along to slap them on the wrist anyway).

So yes, i'll be rational until the end of this thread when said flag goes up tyvm.

Are you really claiming your question (which was essentially "Did the CCP ships explode when you killed them?") wasn't rhetorical?

I notice you're still dodging.

lol

still not owning up to changing the rules after the OP eh?
trying to deflect it with "at least we had fun !!!"

l.o.l.

its ok, we understand that you had to do it because you're too scared to have our alliance name above your building CoolCool


We'd have no problem having a Urine flag on our building had it gone down like that :D. But like Eterne stated we just didn't want our spawned implants to tip the scales because they weren't bought for ISK and didn't have any actual ISK value. Hey, if we do this again I'll vote for skipping the implants altogether since I just like to brawl on gates anyway :D.

You guys put on a great show and were the undisputed champions of kicking CCP butt that night. Pirate
