Dear CCP and community EVE online players!

I am a citizen of Ukraine - the country, which, as you all knows I hope, to be in a real war.

I kindly ask the CCP and EVE online players community, known for yours generosity to this kind of event, raise funds and support the citizens of Ukraine at this difficult time by using the "PLEX for GOOD".

To this date, Ukraine war has claimed the lives and health of tens of thousands of Ukrainians, including small children. Hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes in the war zone (http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=48625 ). The already difficult economic situation in Ukraine, aggravated by military action led, including a drop in the level of social guarantees.

We, Ukrainians, are sincerely grateful to the international community that has supported us and provides our citizens with humanitarian aid. I hope, the CCP and the community of players EVE online will also support the people of Ukraine.

Sorry for my English.

Everyone Peace and Good!

I ask to all, not to twist the request for assistance to people into politics. Pls be tolerant!

Уважаемые ССР и сообщество игроков EVE online!

Я гражданин Украины, которая, как Вам всем известно, надеюсь, находится в состоянии реальной войны.
Этим постом я хочу обратится к ССР и сообществу игроков EVE online, известными своей щедростью к подобного рода ивентам, организовать сбор средств и поддержать граждан Украины в этот нелегкий момент с помощью программы “PLEX for GOOD”.

К настоящему моменту в Украине война унесла жизни и здоровье десятков тысяч украинцев, включая маленьких детей. Сотни тысяч людей были вынуждены покинуть свои дома в зоне боевых действий (http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=48625).

И без того сложное экономическое состояние Украины, усугубленное военными действиями привело в том числе к падению уровня социальных гарантий.

Мы, Украинцы, искренне благодарны мировому сообществу, которое поддержало нас и предоставляет нашим гражданам гуманитарную помощь. Надеюсь, что ССР и сообщество игроков EVE online также поддержит народ Украины.

зы: Убедительная просьба не разжигать политические и другие споры, не касающиеся данной темы.

Всем Мира и Добра!

Well I will say it first:
No.
Politics should not be supported by plex for good.

Wow, the OP's avatar looks EXACTLY like a guy I work with.. who's Ukrainian. That's kinda freaky.

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

It's not in the wrong place. It's in the wrong forum entirely. There are probably people here that support you, there are probably people here backing the Russians, and there are no doubt people who don't give a **** about either.

But the bottom line is, we're not going to bring your war to EVE online. So no one is going to talk about it, because it's just gonna result in drama that's completely unrelated to EVE, there will be bad feelings, people will qq, etc etc. Do you understand? So we're going to refrain, and so is CCP. They will no doubt lock this thread and reinforce the forum rules against posting political topics, and make no mistake, this is a political topic.

Fly smart.

While I sympathize with the people of the Ukraine, I have to agree with Rem. This in no way belongs on these forums.

You may want to look at other places in the world where similar things are happening. Then ask yourself why you didn't ask for plex for good for those other places.

If that makes you feel selfish, despite whatever situation you or your loved ones may be in, that's only natural. Now when asking for charity, why should one thing get more over another? If you answer that everything should get an equal share - Where do you imagine that money should come from?

I know that i'm sounding rather rude, but personally i'm pretty tired of being nearly assaulted every single day by people asking for donations for their causes, completely unaware that there are other people doing exactly the same for completely different causes or even reasons. I just get a paycheck every month and have to support two people off of it. There's not much room for me to support something that doesn't benefit me in any way whatsoever. This does not make me any less sympathetic to what's going on, but i simply don't have the means to support it and i'm fairly sure that goes for 98% of the people on this planet.

Also, a giant tsunami is not the same as a civil war....

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

I tried to give PLEX to a guy sleeping in park near building I live in, he said he doesn't have a computer. Seriously, some people just can't appreciate the help.

I tried to give a homeless guy a new cardboard box once.

He was so rude, all he did was vomit, stand up and stagger off like he'd just spent all night partying and was passed out on the....

I am willing to donate PLEX for nuclear warheads for Ukraine. There is no problem that few precisely dropped megatons can't solve.

No people, no war. No problem.

(Btw, It was bad idea to get rid of them in the first place.)
