Dear citizens,
you may have heard of EVE Museum, or else now you will :) Our long term goal to collect and exhibit every relic and legacy item from the history of EVE Online.

One of the more specific goals of the museum is to house the largest collection of *player corpses* in all of New Eden. At the moment though, the starting collection that we have in storage in our Malkalen halls is rather pathetic. Therefore this campaign!

Please help us grow our collection by donating any number of corpses to the “EVE Museum” corporation! For your generosity, you will be mentioned on the donor page of the museum forever after.

You can however also choose to *sell* any number of corpses to the museum, at a price of max 500,000 ISK per corpse during this campaign.

Hopefully this campaign will result in a spectacular pilgrimage of dead bodies towards our home in the Malkalen system :)

As always, you can also donate or sell artefacts directly to the museum, you can donate any amount of ISK and have a whole museum hall named after you, or you can allow the museum to use your idle ISK to purchase artefacts, as described on the webpage.

Thank you all!

Huh...

What sort of horrible museum displays corpses? I can't imagine the smell!

Also, pretty sure this is the wrong place for you to be advertising this! One would think a curator would pay special attention to this sort of details, right?

Player corpses? Like, gamblers, mindclash or something like that? Assuming you have that "Online" part in your post.

I wouldn't trust this guy. Probably some Drifter worship cult.

Reminds me of an Eve University faculty. Not sure if he's still an educator but he was one of the disciplinarians who collects corpses of rulebreakers. He keeps them in his hangar, all preserved in formadehyde.

I am sure this museum uses the same method of preservation.

It isn't all that strange for museums to be displaying corpses, sarcophagi, mummies and the like, especially if said corpses are of historical significance, for example, the corpse of Emperor Heideran for example. However, museums are far more likely to just use wax figures or holographic representations of humans and stuffed corpses of animals.

Formaldehyde stinks a lot too, you know! So does embalming fluids!

Ignorance and disrespect to the dead stinks even worse.

You get used to it eventually. Same with Ammonia.

Just add some bleach to it, the smell won't be a bother after that....

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

I just, you know, uh... Imagined some kind of shady Jita online casino run by Guristas or Goons or something, and so those guys scam the gaming addicts out of all their ISK and either kill them or they commit suicide. And there's a really bad perv manager like from a cheap gallente holoreel, with greasy moustache and all, that likes to collect corpses of his victims, so he buys out the corpses of the players from local morgue or a corrupt police coroner and puts them on display in his secret villain hideout. Mhm.

(munches on the roll)

And so there are online player corpses...

Fortunately, we have bleach in excess in the service cabinets and the workshops.

It's one of the two things we always have in excess. One is bleach. The other is duct tape. We sometimes run out of rivets, bolts, resin, repair paste and welding material but we are never, ever, out of bleach or duct tape. What do you know, fedo droppings make excellent bleach material.

Duct tape, well, we just never are out of duct tape, okay?
