All,

I've heard rumors that folks with 5.0 security statuses or higher are getting gifts from the YULE lads ranging from Proteus hulls to a faction shield booster, and pirates and the like are getting the equivalents of a lump of coal (all be it should be ~100 mil in minerals when it's all melted down among my accounts, but still :P

Is there anything to this 'Naughty and Nice' concept for the quality of YULE LAD tidings?

No shortage of comedians.

And yes it is true, I don't lose often, but when I do, I lose professionally.

If people with a +5 sec status are getting T3 hulls and the like then I appear to be missing said T3 hulls, that said the Special Edition Apocalypse was much appreciated.

Grr at the reply getting ganked and then being hit with a 30 second timer before being able to actually post Ugh

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I heard the same rumor from an old lady feeding ducks in the park so it's probably true.

I don't know, there's a certain karma to it I suppose. Most all of my characters are negative or deep negative, so if as penance for my criminal ways I get schlubbed with a bag of junk and others who don't torch the innocent hauler get billions in prizes, I can see that being in the holiday spirit.

Confirming that I have received a Bhaalgorn and a stack of Catalysts over the course of the event. The Yule Lads must have known that a highseccer wouldn't have any use for them.

Sitting at a 5.7 security status and I got some clothes yesterday from the Yule Lads....

I never thought Eve would mimic real life in such a depressing way.

5.0, have not gotten anything that hasn't already been whined and complained about here on the forums.

Those whiners are the ones who should get the coal.
