I march them down to the nearest foster home, and make them give their gifts to those kids.

Thankfully, this is only a standing policy, because my daughters have never dared to be that ungrateful.
What I'm trying to say is there are a lot of grown folks on the forums who are less mature than 10 and 9 year old girls.

How does that make you feel?

You lot: "But, Gara... we pay 15$ a month to play this game... we deserve rewards."

Me: "Ishkabibble*! First of all, my daughters have to put up with my ridiculous antics. You have it easy. If you think I'm insufferable on the forums, you should see me in real life. Cartoon characters are more realistic than me. Second... it's gotta be that "everyone gets a trophy" crap my idiot country has been doing that causes this stupid mentality. This is EVE. "No Child Left Behind" has no power here. You do NOT get a trophy for participating... you get to update your clone and buy a new ship. Post your loss, and HTFU."
**mic drop**

*= that means "bulls**t" or "nonsense"

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Gifts are an optional bonus CCP is in no way obligated to provide. Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Did they look up at you with loving eyes full of pride and say "These are the best Christmas presents ever daddy. I'm going to show them off to all my friends and tell them how privileged I'm to live in such luxury. I love you dad."?

Any whinners need to specify what Christmas gifts they've sent to CCPs Fozzie, Rise, Dolan, Karkur, Falcon and everyone else at CCP as a preface to their rant.

I didn't ask for anything from CCP, and I am still buying all of those people you mentioned a beer at Fanfest. Plus Guard.

I gave them socks. They are safe from being eaten by the Yule Lads. That's the best gift a father can give.

I didn't appreciate socks when I was a younger but now it's on the top list of gifts I can get.

You know what my daughter actually told me, one year?
"I have the best dad, ever. I don't need a present."

The gimmie-gimmies should learn from my children.
