hmm, didn't receive a copy of "Wollari’s Starchart Compilation", guess that's being given out at a later date? Big smile

Also, Logibro appears to have skipped "Sort Dragon's Guide to Diplomacy" and "My God. It's Full of Holes" and let's not forget the "SCC Guidelines - Lotteries for Dummies" either. Blink

CCP Logibro or Falcon, I caught what looks like a date error with "Guillome Renard's Sleeper Loot Stash" (plus a few other minor things) and pointed it out in a comment to the holiday blog post thread, but no developer replies as of yet (perhaps befitting the priority level of problems with 'flavor text' compared to 'real bugs.')

Additionally, will these be added to market? They would fit with 'special edition commodities' market group.

The famous line "My God, it's full of stars!" was Dave Bowman's final words as he entered the monolith in the book version of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

"It's full of holes" then, must be a play on that commemorating Thera.

I'm not.

Thank you, Yonis, for the information! :D

Here's a few.

  • The Friend Ship
    • This is a reference to a quote from CCP Guard on the o7 show. "The best ship in EVE is the friend ship".

  • Soxfour's Spaceboots
    • This is a reference to a time that CCP Foxfour went on EVE TV without his shoes on. All the stream chat would ask is where his shoes were. The next show featured his shoes on the table. Finally, after this event took off, CCP Nullarbor stealthily made added a slide featuring a photoshopped picture of CCP Foxfour in socks into CCP Foxfour's Fanfest presentation.

  • Manufacturing Union’s Placard
    • This is a reference to us adding manufacturing teams during the year

  • The Galactic Party Planning Guide
    • This is a reference to some of the players that have organized some of the player meets during the year, including EVEsterdam, EVE London, EVE Vegas and EVE Down Under

  • Chribba’s Modified Strip Miner
    • This is a reference to Chribba, he who mines the Veldspar and wields the Veldnaught. All miners give praise to Chribba, and in turn, he provides them with the Veldspar.

  • Rooks & Kings – The Clarion Call Compilation
    • This is a reference to a famous series of videos by Rooks & Kings called Clarion Call. If you haven't watched them, I strongly suggest that you do so. Lord Maldoror's voice alone is worth it. Their channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Rooksandkings

  • Pre-Completed CSM 10 Ballot Paper
    • This is a reference to many player alliances that issue a "suggested ballot" to their members that they recommend they follow for the CSM elections.

  • Titanium Plated Cranial Shielding
    • This is in reference to all the forum users that recommend and use tinfoil hats. Of course since this is New Eden, we use more advanced items to protect our brains.

  • Wollari’s Starchart Compilation
    • This is a reference to Dotlan maps (http://evemaps.dotlan.net/) widely regarded as the best mapping tool for K-Space available.

  • Polaris Eviction Notice
    • This is a reference to when someone (i.e. CCP Paradox) accidentally did something to C C P and that caused the next Alliance bill to fail. This caused the alliance to drop all of it's sov and be disbanded. Luckily since C C P members have dev hax, we restored the alliance. None of you saw anything.

  • Jump Portal Generation Instruction Holoreel
    • This is a reference to how the Battle of Asaki started (i.e. someone hitting jump instead of bridge)

  • Vincent Pryce’s Warp Disruption Field Generator
    • This is a reference to the pilot that actually managed to tackle the titan that jumped through to start the battle of Asaki. They just happened to have a Heavy Interdiction Cruiser on hand at the time, which is required to tackle Super Capital ships in lowsec

  • Guillome Renard’s Sleeper Loot Stash
    • This is a reference to the Sleeper Research Race. A pilot (Guillome Renard) encouraged pilots to donate sleeper items to him instead of to the four empires, saying that we (capsuleers) should be the ones unlocking the secrets from the recent chances, not the empires.

  • Sisters Of EVE Charity Statue
    • This is a reference to the last PLEX for Good campaign we ran where we manged to raise $190, 890 for the Red Cross.

Is your life so empty ...
... so devoid of love and achievements ...
... that you have to identify with a game so much that you ***** about ...


... FREE (!) stuff ...

... instead of being happy for getting anything at all?


Do you react like this when people give you something in reallife and you don't like it?
Or do you then pretend to like it, but actually hate it?

Unlike in real life, on the forums you can hide behind the screen and show your true self ...



This is a game and you ***** about free stuff.

It's a game.

A game.




Dare I wonder what kind of parent you would be ..............

well if it was usee full i would be thank full , but it isnt , and tbh instead of slamming items out that have no effect to the game at all except using data storrage is well stupid .

if people want to remember heroic deeds then make a space of it on the website , dont need items in game to remember them by !

I hopefully one day the dev team will see this , and dont just throw items in to the databases and then later remove usefull items becouse they need database space or storage. and if the dev team really want to give players x-mas gift then fix the jita trafic problems insted !

well i just say things as i see them , im raised that way

tbh if my parrents gave me an useless gift i say the same thing , its nothing to do with being cold harted
its all about being honest , and im not thank ful for the gift so why should i say thanks for it ??

an exsampel
you mother in law gives a very ugly tie for x-mas you say thank you and never use it ,
you visit her with you girlfriend and you mother in law ask why dont you ever use the tie ?

you can anser trufth fully , and it wil pretty much stop the lie there or you can keep lieing
and it will only hurt more painfully if tell the truth later.
two thing happens if you tell a lie , #1 you hurt the person you tell it to and #2 is you being dishonste with you self and what your parrents raised you to be .

i respect my parrents enough to say thing as they are !

I think your attitude is the reason why some people wish they could choose their relatives, just like they choose their friends.

And Merry Christmas to you too, grumpy.
