Prince Kobol is just going through what we all went through when we first heard the news.

Denial that CCP could be so carelessly stupid.

While the rest of us quickly moved on to the later stages of coping, Prince Kobol descended into lunatic raves defending that which we all abhor. CCP's reputation is to be preserved at all costs.

We all know that this is not about encouraging community initiatives or SOMER wouldn't have been the first or second entity to be choosen in the first place...

We all know that if these gifts were moraly acceptable they would be public and announced, not hidden.
Why would you reward community investment ? To encourage others to do the same. (Which is IMO stupid, no reward needed)
Hiding the reward negates the very reason of the gift, and it proves that this is not a matter of encouraging any community participation, this is just some poorly handled favoritism that Internal Affairs should look at.

So in other words, I can not argue his point so I will retort to calling him names :)

You guys are so adorable, I just want to scoop you all up, wrap you all up in cotton wool and feed you jelly and ice cream :)

no it isn't.

"But its also crack to CCP because it allows them the lazy way out of distributing ships. Its also the lighting rod for the recent outrage of the secretive EVE mails and blatant favoritism displayed by your favorite band of hapless Vikings."

this is what the poster thinks is the issue; CCP being lazy in distributing special ships. if it wasn't somerblink it would be some one else and the "who" is largely irrelevant. if it wasn't somer it'd be some other group.

Yay, this account hasn't had its signature banned. or its account, if you're reading this.

Bloody hell if you're going to give stuff away for running an "awesome website" then give it to Wollari (dotlan). A far higher percentage of Eve players use that site.

Oh and just to join in with the general theme of the thread :

You never learn your lessons CCP. You lurch from one self-inflicted dramabomb to another like a drunk staggers between bars. Get a ******* grip on things. Straight

The thing that annoy me the most about this is that ccp decide to secretly support somerblink, if they want to support a ingame origination do it publicly!

Doing it secretly only leaves the question, who else is ccp supporting?

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

So telling people to boycott Somerblink and that Somer Blink needs to go is not against Somerblink?

The linked news story mentions none of these things.
