I was considering setting this up as a player-run promotion (giving players Blood Raider ships for real-life blood donations), so I petitioned for a ruling on whether using in-game assets to reward out-of-game *charitable* behavior was permitted. Alas, the answer is no ("While we can appreciate your desire to get others involved in noble acts like this, we ultimately would not be able to permit in game compensation for non-EVE activities as per rule #10 of the Terms of Service: You may not market, sell, advertise, promote, solicit or otherwise arrange for the exchange or transfer of items in the game or other game services unless it is for in-game sales of in-game services or items").

So it appears that if we want bleed2win to become real, we are going to have to lobby CCP to do it.

We need waaaaaaaay more support. I know it's not "Sexy" to most.

It's just cool to save a few lives with something you really have too much of. Sounds funny, but it's true.

but this would be a blatant mocking of eve's anemic players, as they cannot give blood. were already mocking the colorblind, armless, and the illiterates, lets not add anemics to that list please.


also i ahve a severe phobia of needles, so much so that when i was achild, i tried to stab my doctor with his pen when he wanted to put a needle in my arm. dont like the finger prickings either.



I'd love to see how long someone would have to sit there with a finger prick to give a pint of blood. Hell unless you had some sort of anti-coagulate disorder I highly doubt you'd get it before the prick healed over.

Promoting real world charitable aims is never a bad thing. I like the blood for Bloodraiders idea.

I still think this is a worthy cause. I've simply got to find an acceptable out-of-game reward that neatly ties into Eve.
