Dear my lovely friends at CCP.

As Iceland has a population of around 12, I'm assuming at least a couple of CCP employees are on the Football team. Congratulations on defeating the embarrassing team, England. Your guys were passionate, organised, and deserved to win far more than England did.

Unfortunately, as a consequence of this historic victory of your team, I am now at a loss for things to do for Summer. As an England fan you think reality would have kicked in and I'd have expected us to be out of the tournament at this stage, but I am an optimistic kind of guy and had planned my summer supporting England right until the final. Now, especially with the manner in which we were ejected, the whole competition has been tainted for me and I have nothing left to do for the summer, because any other sport is garbage. So please could you compensate us poor England fans with some sort of shiny stuff to blow up and make ourselves feel just a little better.

Congratulations on your fantastic victory.

Kind regards,
Doyey3731

I for my part was very happy, that CCP did not shut down the server after the game, to go for partying.

I'm Welsh AND I have a beard so yeah, it's all looking really good so far.

Genuinely sorry you guys got the shove though.

Well done Iceland!



Also, many thanks for drastically reducing the amount of football coverage on the English media Blink

They could make a new ammunition for the festival launcher, that shoots little soccer / footballs and if your client is connected from the UK your ship will instantly explode when it gets hit by such ball.
I hope you noticed the irony in this comment.

Ironically calling american football...football is ridiculous since you foot almost never comes in contact with said ball. However in soccer, your foot is in constant contact with the ball. American football is actually more of a modified version of rugby( which is a far better sport by the way than american football)

Actually someone was devising a way to play some sort of sportsball in EvE using command dessies, and some smartbombing Rokhs as goals. Something about jumping the Ibis to the goals, etc etc.

I wonder what happened to that. Seemed like an awesome adaptive use of game mechanics.

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

The only irony is that they'll probably explode anyway. No ball necessary.

I guess the team didn't quite understand the referendum was to leave the EU, not Euro 2016.

Need to start the exit somewhere.

If Iceland will grab the gold medals, I am expecting CCP to give us all a commemorative t-shirt in game with a "10" number on it, and coloured after the t-shirts of Icelandic team.

They could commission some special collectible in-game items

Wayne Rooney's 1600mm Plate - each day you have this fitted on your ship the mass gets heavier, and your ship aligns slower, to the point you can't navigate your ship anymore eventually.

Joe Hart's Large Shield Extender - It adds 10,000 HP to your shield, but when someone shoots at you you take direct structure damage, and your ship explodes while your shield is still full.

Roy Hodgson's Genius Fit - This is a consumable item, which you can activate, and it will fit your active ship with random mods in all the wrong slots - plates on the highs, guns on the lows, etc. Of course, the mods will not function as they are fit into wrong slots.

I would pledge 20b to buy such collectible items. XD

Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!

Calm down, Iceland will sooner or later play against a good team.

In the game of American Handegg, only one player uses his foot on the ball and only that occasionally. One wonders how that game came to be called "football" in the first place.

Congratulations Iceland.
