THIS is what makes EVE so special! Even the thought of such extreme "meta-gaming" being a possibility gave me giant nerd boner.

+1 This man has put so much time and effort into the community selflessly - I've said it before and I'll say it again; he deserves some support.

Whatever happened to the newsreporting the volunteers at ccp did? Couldn't he just join that? Or does it no longer exist?
If CCP has a place for him, they should indeed hire him!

CCP letting mad_ani go is letting money walk out the door. Mad_ani has brought new and veteran players back to eve. He has brought a new culture of streaming and eve news journalism to a new level.

Eveonline community is more aware on what's going on and the opportunity of eveonline sandbox. Not to mention the events that happend in nullsecurity and also the culture and diplomacy of the alliances . Not hiring mad_ani will damage eveonline since we have received so many new players that had not even heard of the game. Almost on a daily day you can see someone new in the chat asking questions about the game.

Ani definitely helps to promote EVE through this stream, and I could see this being a good thing if it were to happen.

EDIT: I've heard quite a few things, from trusted sources, regarding the stream and associated services/features that lead me to question my original opinions since posting this. The promotion of EVE is wonderful, but if even one of these counterpoints turns out to be accurate, I cannot support the idea of him becoming a staff member at CCP. Withdrawn indefinitely, awaiting further information.

Edit: removing my support. I think CCP should hire a community stream guy but I don't think Ani is the kind of employee they need or want.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread besides attention whoring.

CCP has a site with position they are looking people for where he can apply...

I think mad ani has done a great job to build the numbers and following he has. That said there are a few points to consider.

1) mad ani has good numbers some pay to sub most support via watching ads in stream. So that said does this revenue bring in enough money to support Mad Ani with out the need for a regular income?

2)If not then how/why should ccp make the difference?

3)Could the same thing not be taken up by the community team and even make it better by showing FW matches of dust and the fleets trying to flip systems? After all they will have use of dev tools to get spectator mode for better angles and such. Especially when you consider the twitch integration coming with rubicon expansion.

Personally I think Ani should get props for what he has done is great but to come out with a "hey I need to get paid if you want this to continue" is a bit brash. Everyone needs to earn a living so do what you have to do. What may have been better would be is set up your own network of prolific eve streamers and run it like a tv station / share the times with someone else.

If the community then championed you to CCP for employment then all well and good but to come out and say hey my viewers think you should hire me so I can do this full time is bad form. You don't see other couminity sites that have 24 hr content doing this?

Good luck Ani I wish you well with your campaign. I also hope you keep up the great work you are doing with twitch streaming and such.
