Today's update

The thread in response to the news event so far.

Apparently the dust bunnies are taking is seriously enough to swing the fights.

Yesterday.
The fights just started on dust 514 side and are ongoing but from what I have been hearing from IRC chat quite a few players are throwing the match if they're on the Caldari side.

Catching up with the story so far and initial responses to the fight.

I do find it neat emergent game play is mattering to players when there is no award offered.

Tips on throwing a match so far:

For those of you who may not understand we are unable to choose a side via mechanics right now so players are resorting to odd means of actually supporting a side. Such as purposely as possible to make the Caldari side lose by crashing vehicles into mountains, suiciding clones, not killing the enemy, getting in the way of anti-mcc weapons and refusing to play the game mode proper

Intriguing.
Dust Bunnies are off the reservation and doing their own thing... Kinda like players in another game we might name. Blink

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I look forward to the player created content from DUST 514, even if I won't be playing it myself.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

That was part of the contract sadly, we'd look like some promethen or jovian if we took the helmet off. All generic underneath too. Luxury clones are planned for us.

Anyways 1 hour left on the ops, CCP has said there are quite a few people participating, and that we're doing something well beyond outside of a normal fight, which suggest there is a rather large number of refusal to fight.

Simple rule should be if they don't take live events seriously CCP shouldn't let them decide the outcome of the story.

They are taking is seriously, the mercenaries being forced to fight their formers are fighting back against commands.

So all these little dweebs with their PS3s can be just as devious and creative in screwing with CCP as those of us in space ships.

Who'd a thunk it?

Well... been doing quite a bit investing these interested players in getting more involved in the universe. New Eden Immigration papers makes it quite easy to get the newberries lorified a bit to understand the sides they're picking.

Wow, CCP actually pulled it off. Bravo! We'll make proper demigods outta the bunnies in no time. Twisted

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

Indeed. What a wonderful universe we live in, where two mostly-disconnected bodies of players allign so naturally in their behaviors. Makes you almost believe EVE is a real place. Lol

2 Thorax's are indeed pretty handy ships.

But no, that's not what EVE Rping is about, even if we put aside the "Everyone in EVE is an RPer" stuff thats been going around lately.

Event is over and most of the mercenaries I have talked to found the event fun and also interesting as well that untypically and unconventionally within game mechanic did their darnedest to make it hard for caldari state to win.

Probably for the best. FPS players don't usually get into their backstories so much, the roleplayers will educate the rest of them passively so we don't keep seeing these deviations from very basic lore.
