I'm sure that by now you have all heard/read about Russia's illegal invasion and attempted annexation of Ukraine. I humbly request that CCP block all traffic originating from Russia to put pressure on Russian EVE player's to in turn put pressure on their politcians to end this war. This is a chance for CCP to generate some REAL positive publicity and do some good, instead of some expensive boondoggle statue in the middle of the Icelandic tundra.

Weak, very weak attempt.

You have years of trolling practice ahead of you...

Unfortunately, the real world can very quickly come to intrude on EVE play if you're a Ukrainian. Your "WORLDS COLLIDE, JERRY!" appeal doesn't hold much water given that fact for many Ukrainian EVE players.

Leave RL politics out of Eve please. We play to get away and enjoy a game with friends, not to be a internet tribune.

Why would CCP want to declare war on a global ex-superpower?

Eve is not a political pressure tool.

Also, Russia isn't all that democratic, and your idea wouldn't work because those Russian Eve players would simply get ignored or censured by the media/government.
The only way I could see this actually working is if CCP also made an under the table deal with the Russian mob that they could bot/launder/sell isk all they wanted if they made this happen.

Would you say the same to the people honouring their departed friends with cyno vigils? This is no different, except it's potentially a preventative measure instead of a flaccid "you will be missed".

Robert Downey Jr once said something smart to Ben Stiller.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

19.08.2014 - Dinsdale gets slammed by CCP Falcon. Never forget.

Because everyone knows that Eve players hold the balance of power in almost every country.

Kinder eggs are awesome! I used to be able to find them here, but I heard some rumor about dumb Americans choking on the toy, getting a ban on imports.

I don't think we want the KGB DDOSing us...

Plus every Russian player I have spoken with loves Putin, 100% satisfaction rate, it's amazing!

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Convieniently forgetting to mention that the ousted President of the Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych stole so much money from the economy for his lavish lifestyle that he used to brag about how corrupt he was. Russian is only doing with the sword what Cameron and the rest of the EU cronies want to do with the pen.

Good luck to them.

What good would banning Russian players do?
You think Russian EVE players are responsible for this out-of-game situation in world politics?

In what convoluted system of morality do you find that to be even remotely justifiable?

Nvm, troll thread. Why do I even bite.
