Interesting username. A true believer, a loyal follower. The perfect sort of sheep to pad Hilmar's wallet for the outstanding state or affairs in this game.

No thanks. I'll save my respect for when someone earns it.

To his defence at least he admitted he made a mistake and actually corrected it. Many CEO's nowadays admit they made a mistake but continue following said path.

This, by far, is the worst community of people I've ever seen in any game.

Being fine with people being laid off for spurious reasons? Reality check

Do you know the reasoning behind PR employee lay-offs? I certainly don't.

It might as well be because new goal is to offer more direct discussion between the community and developers making certain PR roles obsolete. However it pointless to speculate or judge without any of the basic information needed to the task.

Why do people like you insist on making all Aussies look bad?

Also, confirming OP is mad.

That's the most un Australian thing I've heard for a long time. Check your postcode. Does it have 4 digits?

Confirming OP is angry and mad.


You don't get out much, do you?

Not sure where you are reading bad stuff enough to say its the "worst community". As I said earlier most posts have been very nice.

Although, had a community leader died in RL or anyone else for that matter, all hell would have broken loose.

Here's a funny thing Aussie - and this is coming from a bloke that rode broncos in the bush, was a roo-shooter, chased dingo bounties, ran fishing charters in wild seas and owned several businesses in and out of the cities. I am, for all intents and purposes, semi-retired from my own exploits.

I came from an era where, after you belted a bloke, you hauled him up afterwards, dusted him off and bought him a beer. The very same ethos often used in Eve by posting 'gf' in local as a mark of respect.

There are some 'Aussies' these days that go around in gangs, beat up innocents and kick them while they're down. Yep, that still happens in Eve but they STILL post 'gf' in local.

You, of all people, have got the steelcaps on, slamming me on **** you know nothing about and you dare to call me un Australian.

I'd bet my Austrian kangaroo to your silk pyjamas in mum's house that you never got out much mate.

Fair crack son, fair crack.

I can feel that the community as a whole is upset. Therefore I have formulated an action plan to fix this.

Step one: Get really really mad.
Step two: Create an alt for trolling the forums.
Step three: Cancel all your alt accounts, if you don't have any simply claim you cancelled alts anyway
Step four: Rally like-minded community members to go to Jita to shoot a statue.
Step five: Create a long winded rant about how the game and CCP have gone to **** and post it on the forums.
Step six: Attack and verbally abuse anyone who disagrees with you.
Step seven: Get banned for voicing "your opinion" (read: being an *******).
Step eight: Create yet another alt as a sockpuppet who rallies to your defense because CCP clearly is going on a witch hunt and trying to silence dissent by banning you.
Step nine: Repeat steps 1-8 until victory is achieved
Step ten: Celebrate your inevitable victory when CCP comes out and says that the community will be appeased and EVE will be saved.

Hey it worked for Incarna.

There are some good posts supportive of CCP and there are also some extremely insensitive dicks emerging from the woodwork.

And for mine, the dicks need to be belted for being the short range, self-centred aholes they are.

Quid Pro Quo Aussie...

Besides, the topic isn't about which Aussie is the best type. My reference to Australia was to explain why it was "morning" when I made OP. Not so we could play spot the wombat.

Ummm, I'm Australian and I agree with OP and I don't think he's making us look bad. I happen to believe any Aussie who disagrees with him would be making us Aussies look bad.

The "cool" thing to do would be disagree with OP. I bet you can't stand up and say something without first checking with all your "cool" friends to make sure it doesn't make you look bad.

For all CCP's weaknesses they are also one of the great visionaries in the world of gaming. Visionaries always do it tougher than the follow the leader type businesses. They attract greater risk in every venture by being so.

Just like Eve. It was risky, it was visionary. It worked. Some latter stuff hasn't had time to emerge yet to be able to gauge the good/bad yet. Put simply, half of the huff and puff going on in Eve about CCP is just mindless drivel from no more than spoiled brats who have nfi and it's about time you stfu or gtfo.

In all of this, we're forgetting that the very people that made the decisions that made Eve are also the very people that had to pass on the bad news to several employees and subsequently their families. You know REAL people, with REAL lives...

The reality in all of this, despite some of the uninformed commentary to the contrary, you simply cannot sack managment to save a company. You can restructure, you can dump some middle staff but you cannot start at the top. Period.

Regardless, as an ex employer who has had to lay staff off, it is the hardest, most gut wrenching job you will ever possibly have to do. There will be some very, very sad senior management in CCP over the coming weeks and if you REALLY knew these things you wouldn't be so bloody thoughtless and insensitive.

Show some fn respect - to both the dismissed staff and to the people who have had to make the toughest call there is.


I don't usually think very highly of guys in hoods, but I'm going to give you props on this one.

And don't forget that I'll be voting for you come the CSM elections. Make me proud, Apostle.

Nicest thing you ever said Skunk. I'm touched. Unless ofc you know that the hardest job Croc Dundee (Paul Hogan) ever did was paint the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

He's welcome to disagree but there was no need to get personal.

I hate that "you're a moron" game, even though I can be really good at it myself when pushed. Although it's sad, because sneaky and slippery retorts are usually wasted on "THAT" kind of poster Twisted
