Hello EVE players!

We will be hosting the first annual Black History Week for New Eden starting the first week in October, 2013!

During this event we will be focusing on the many great black heroes of New Eden, and their important contributions to New Eden Culture. All are invited to attend, but as a measure of respect request only black capsuleers contribute to the literary portion of the celebration. During this event we will be occupying the Amarr docking ring using the appropriately named "vigil and Vigilant" to celebrate the memories of black capsuleers no longer with us. There will be a creative writing contest open to all black capsuleers with a one billion ISK prize.


Don't Miss!

  • The 'Vigil' and 'Vigliant' occupation of the Amarr trade hub to celebrate solidarity against discrimination.

  • The One Billion ISK reward for the literary contest

  • Many new features to come along as the event schedule is formalized!



SUNDAY September 29th thru SATURDAY October 5th, BE THERE!

We are looking for sponsors, please contact me with an EVE-mail to discuss appropriate contributors, do not send ISK to this character as it would diminish the integrity of the celebration.

Due to the logistics of the affair we will need to have 500 registrations to attend by the 15th of September 2013.

Thank You Obama!

Nice... I'll start preparing my Gank Fleet. This could be EPIC!

I can taste the tears already...

I find this to be ironically racist.


Seriously though, we dont care what race or gender you are around here. We shoot everyone equally.

Roll

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

Such irony... The Amarr, a slave-holding State with a slave economy, is holding a "Black History Week".... I don't know what else to think of this.

Is this sincere, or an elaborate troll?

I can't understand why people bring their real life hang ups in to a game. Why can't you just use it as a place to get rid of that baggage for a little while and enjoy yourself.

This is just sad.

Next month Italian History Month, right?

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

Hey! How come Italians get a whole month, but it's only a week for Black History, eh?!?

This has to be a troll, no one can be so stupidly racist.
It's a freaking game, leave your political and religious baggage, conserve it for like, Real Life, you know?

A man wearing a hood belonging to a racist slave owning race wants 500 black palyers to show up at his front door....nothing could wrong there.

By the way, I heard David Duke is holding a bonfire celebration for the Democratic Black Caucus in Mississippi this weekend, all Afro-Americans are encouraged to come.
