This was fun! Big thanks to everyone :)

Next time though.. can you guys not call me as the first primary of the whole engagement please? So I can enjoy maybe 5 minutes of a fleet fight !? Made me sadpanda to be gone in the first wave.. you'd be doing the other devs a favour too since I've been whining non stop about dying so early..

..pretty please.. with cherries on top n stuff..?

KTHXBAI !


It is due to your character name. Sorry.

Most FCs call targets alphabetically. They might skip over a very hard-to-pronounce names (CCP Alice would also fail that test) but otherwise if your name starts with A, B or C, I would suggest preparing for incoming totalhelldeath when hostiles fill the grid.


And that's precisely what happened. The FC and wing commanders for the Jita fleet called for the target list to go alphabetically, and we immeditally launched on Alice. As the fight developed, we started identifying some of the Guardians and shield-tankers, but pretty much went down the list from the start.


Confirming that for the first primary the fleet shot at, I picked you because you were at the top of my overview.

Also, I'm pretty sure I had your corpse, but it got blown up when my ship got blown up. So it's safely vaporised.

When his name was called, I laughed so much my Mach was nailed.



I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this thread and am bummed I missed the fun!

With that said I have a super cool story related though that I wanted to share...

Tonight I logged on and after reading the thread was in Osmeden where I live and my corp has their base. Well guess who I saw in local chatting - Fatty himself! : ) Needless to say I had to harass him. : )

These dev blogs make my days and especially ones like this.

Anyways, Great guy - we had a few good laughs and I got to enjoy the event as best I could through his stories.

He even gave me his corpse .... for all you CCP Devs that missed out. : )

....I might be willing to trade it for a Polaris frigate. haha

hmmmm, now I know what to do when we send fatty out as scout.

1. lemming in thru gate with fatty.
2. pod fatty, blame it on reds, but do it after I cut his comms.
3. ?
4. Profit!

Glad I could contribute! See, I lasted a bit with my Megathron.. got some kills.. Then got popped..

Reshipped into a Dominix and as soon as I show up on field .. 1. PL had shown up so the lag was terrible.. And 2. next thing I know I was in my pod. Guess now I know why.

Actually, who was CCP's FC? Navigator?

I have to say, this would be THE most awesomely funny move if you guys pulled it off!!

Baiting PL to hot drop a supers blob > dropping your own jovian titans on grid and proceeding to WTFBBQPWN every last one of 'em.

The universe would echo with the collective cheer from every none PL player in the EVE universe.

Somebody really should have had a look at what faction ammo to use and what faction ammo to NOT use...Ugh

I think a CCP dev should have been carrying a Miner V, just make the point clear.

"Primary is Primary"

"Say what...?!?!"

:fleet confused:

But in all seriousness, having a long, hard-to-pronounce name that starts with a letter around the middle of the alphabet is actually relevant when considering odds of survival in large fleet combat... as silly as it may sound.
