EVE General Discussion

I was asking because i did not expect someone to accuse me of bribing CCP members with plastic cards.

Now, i understand that you probably have a strong opinion about the people i play EVE Online with. However, it reads to me as if you are missing a fundamental proportionality. Let a player gathering and a harmless gift be what it is. Stop grasping at straws.

More so than delivering an ingame benefit to a CCP Dev, outside of the game?

Dunno. Interesting hypothetical question you raise.

Imagine if that image and that tweet text had been posted here on GD with a CCP tag on the index, by its author.

Even on Twitter, its made with the official alias and as a CCP rep.

If it wouldn't be posted "officially" here on GD, it really shouldn't be posted anywhere else "officially" either.

I'm not so up-tight not to see the fun in this. But I'm also not so stupid as to not to see the rather obvious official endorsement and benefit a certain organization got as a result, whether intended or not.

Yes.

Maybe you should just calm down a bit, maybe drink a glass of water or something... we are talking about a game here and it looks like some people at CCP just enjoy the stories and things we create in their sandbox. After all the New Order is indeed the first player created democracy in New Eden, if not the first true player driven democracy in all of gaming.

Also, everyone knows that a mining permit is required in Highsec, you don't need a photograph of a CCP member to find that out. It's common knowledge and you accepted the Code when you entered our territory. So quit the whining and get your own permit today.

As the old saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You clearly have a secret love of gankers. You old devil you. Trying to trick us all along that your shiptoasting was because you were just butthurt, but really it was because of admiration.

Your anger is misplaced.

I'm not the one that has done something..

Nah, we're too busy taking the game too seriously.

Please contain your salty shouting and false indignation.
You know nothing about me at parties, nor out of game.

The questions are valid, and ontopic, as either raised by OP themself, or from subsequent discussion on them.

I dont care if everyone at the meet got one.

Imo posting a pic like that on an official twitter account, and using the term "officially" in the text was a bad move, for many reasons. Especially considering the controversy. Thats my opinion. Deal with it.

It constitutes an endorsement.

In the same way that if you give your product to a celebrity or official anywhere else, and they then endorse it in a tweet afterwards, does.

It might be "for fun", but lets not be naive.

You're just mad because Im better than you.

Free tip: Dont resort to hyperbole and personal insults. They are a sign of weakness and defeat.

If you want to avail yourself to more of my expertise, send 10bil isk alongside a permanent CODE license, and I will consider it. The isk I can invest, and the license I can wipe my butt with.
