Two weeks ago we lost one of our own, Photon Torpedo, to a senseless attack in San Bernardino. When the news broke the Eve community came together and rallied hard on the GoFundMe page setup for his wife and infant daughter.

Make no mistake, as a community we supported one of our own admirably. However, when thinking about his wife and daughter having to spend Christmas without him I got a fair bit dejected. Many of us weren't really focused on how the events interacted with the game, and I bet a lot of you didn't even know that an Eve player was involved. One of my Eve mantras is "all you can do is your own personal best" and, to be honest, I don't feel like I did my own personal best in raising awareness. Luckily we can fix that.

So let's roam around and spread the word for those who may have missed it. There are no prizes, no Titans in complexes to kill, just some Eve guys getting together and running @ dudes until we die. Then we'll do it again, and again if time permits. We'll leave at 19:00, and then again at 23:00 for the USTZ guys that want to get in on the action but can't call into work for a half-day. Maybe it'll be great, maybe it'll be awful - who knows!

If you just want to watch, that's totally fine - I'll be streaming on my personal Twitch channel Twitch.tv/HabitGaming

The roam will be departing around 19:00 on Thursday, December 17th from Amarr. I'm not exactly sure what ship-types we'll take, but probably something BC sized and down. Drakes, Feroxes, Hawks, Talwars - whatever you're comfortable losing - I'll update the in-game channel with fits and price estimations in Amarr so you can just click buy-all (thanks CCP Karkur) and get ready to have some fun in whatever you can afford to have fun in. We'll be going to null-sec, so don't take anything too expensive - don't forget clones!

For updated information you can join the in-game channel PhotonTorpedoCharityRoam

Hope to see you guys Thursday! Be sure to tell your friends who don't frequent the forums that they're invited as well. The more the merrier.
