In-Game Events and Gatherings

I have heard mad ani use racism multiple times -1

Hire Shadoo, have the big power blocs let him guest FC, stream it without delay, rake in the dough.

OK, a few things:

1) http://www.ccpgames.com/en/jobs

2) Attempting to guilt a company into hiring you by posting a petition thread on their forums is a great way to massively reduce the chances of you getting hired. Even if you get a load of people to support you, It's bad PR, whether you're successful (cue 3001 copycat threads), or not successful (cue "evil bastard games company won't hire someone with a dedicated following").

3) Can you come up with a business case as to why Eve needs an official CCP live stream. More to the point, how do you ensure that it remains fair and unbiased? Are you planning on streaming from Polaris ships, giving my enemies an unkillable source of intelligence?

CCP should hire the cute cat with the headphones in your stream.

But not you.

What a horrible way to get hired. But who knows, it might work, it is CCP. Sorry for all the damn :words:, but lack of even semi-accurate analysis, missing text box explaining the situation, and begging annoys me.

1. How do resumes work. This is straight up begging. But that's Mad Ani.
2. Mad Ani often times does not understand what is happening in the fight, as he is not very well versed in mass combat. I had hoped he would get better at it, but he hasn't. His analysis is usually 'Hey, buy me a better video card.'
3. Because he is ill-informed about what is going on, his contributes to the stream is to just sit there and watch with us, without saying much except 'Please buy me a better computer since this one is so slow.'
4. Now that he has a faster computer, he makes more excuses about why his stream sucks, like characters not in the right places, dying to easy stuff catching him, and constant whiteouts when he's too far zoomed in, with an unfiltered overview and no /intel pastes. ( https://adashboard.info/intel )
5. He does catch some things, like DD's and bombers, but even DBRB can catch that kind of stuff. Even when he does, it's badly framed.
6. He is constantly explaining what is happening because he cannot reserve just a tiny bit of his screen to say a quick timeline of 'N3 bridged in, RusRus followed them in, N3 jumped in Caps/supers, BL jumped in dreads, ncdot jumped in titans to kill dreads, and now we're in horrible tidi.' He doesn't keep score on who's shooting who, when it should be easy enough to do, like '800 n3 vs 500 rusrus'. Not to mention he has very few canned 'this is how eve works' speeches, and instead says 'Go watch my past videos.'
7. He has volunteers for good intel, but generally turns them down because that's effort. And anything effort is not worth his time. Unless it gets him donations.
8. He spent most of his birthday stream hitting on some chick, very badly. It was painful to listen to. But hey, Eve streaming! (and tengu lost)
9. What, you can't make money off twitch after your obvious important contribution?

If CCP wanted to have a permanent streamer, they'd make their own twitch (oh wait), hire some people in charge of it (oh wait), have some GM's/ISD people man it (oh can't do that), and maybe have them do some analysis of the fight, which is the only hard part. They have all the infrastructure and people already, just have not done it.

Either way, I hope it's not you. You are only viewed from time to time because you poopsock it up and are usually on. CCP could replace your use tomorrow if they actually cared, but you would add nothing to that equation. Go get a real job already.

Are you serious Ani?

This is not how you ask a company of the size of CCP for a job. There are less public ways of applying to work with a company, and though I don't work for CCP I'm sure that they would prefer to deal with this kind of questions in private and only go public when they are ready to announce the new developer or whatever you would be.

Don't get me wrong, yes you do a good job with your stream, and you get paid for that (ads and subscribers) it's not enough to make a living? well tough luck, nobody can start making a living out of youtube/twitch out of nowhere, people had to work their way up to get to the point where they had a substantial number of followers to allow them to live out of money from ads and subscriber money.

But let's just say that CCP would benefit from hiring someone like you, this is not how you should have applied for that job.
CCP is a big and well organized company and they can handle the process of finding and selecting the people that will work with CCP, if they haven't contacted you yet, that is because they are either not interested yet in paying someone to stream the game for 24/7 or you just don't fit their requirements.

You mention that your viewers told you that you should create a petition? That is not the right way of doing these things, you can't make a petition where a few hundred people will sign and say, "hire this guy, because this many people want him in your company for a job that you haven't offered yet" That is not a healthy start for a business relationship, all you are doing is putting pressure on CCP by saying that without you "no more amazing camera angles, like if that was difficult? It's not it just requires someone to be there and be streaming, you are not the only one that knows how to use the eve camera i'm afraid.

Now are you the only guy that can do what you are doing and be neutral at the same time? maybe... but I much prefer to watch either dbrb streams or the stream of a N3 member or Solar member, because it's much more interesting for me to watch the perspective of someone that is actually in the fight doing things than watching the perspective of someone that is far away just watching and that can only guess what is actually going on.

Anyway this plus that skype call you had with CCP rise a few days ago in your stream completely destroyed any respect i had for you, you shouldn't put pressure on a CCP developer or CCP itself trying to get more support from CCP so that you can keep doing what you are doing right now, you shouldn't have done that, it's ridiculous. They already give you enough support, when there is a big fight happening not only the official twitter and facebook but the developers themselves post on twitter about it and link your stream, you should had worked with that and tried to build from there, but instead you tried to pressure CCP because you don't have patience to wait for them to make you an offer.

Anyway, regardless of all that, I do wish you a good luck with your recent job, on the stream you said it was a "miserable job" and though i don't know what is your Job right now, I'm sure you'll see that you were exaggerating, that is not as bad as you think, you just won't have as much free time as you did before this. And if you happen to be unhappy with that job, go look for another one, and i hope you find something that makes you happy.

o7 fly safe, and I'm sorry for the wall of text + poor english, it's a horrible combo i know.

This needs to be added to the The 'one-line bad idea' thread

My support for hiring Mad Ani to the be force behind EVE war journalism for PVP, capturing player generated content in realtime and broadcasting it to the world.

Or hiring me to do it XD

What a joke. I guess Ani doesn't understand how a resume works or how to get hired at a real company.

Surely replacing terrible with bad is the way to go.
