EVE General Discussion

I'm not going to talk about the actions of any one person, or whether they were right or wrong or should do whatever as penance.

My question are to CCP who seem conveniently corporate damage control on this.

Sorry, but this seems just like crap.

- You don't vet the content i.e. "unfiltered".
- You encourage and promote the innebriated state of the participants.
- You have promoted a long history of "naming names" and mail tear showcasing. Basically the more cutting of others the better.
- You feed it all live to the public.

Exactly how is that expected given the nature of the event you have held here?

CCP I think there are more questions for you than there are for anyone else. Such as:

- What is CCP exact policy/process on reviewing presentations for the Alliance Panel? Does CCP contribute to the creation of the content?
- What are participants briefed on with regards to "no go" topics before they appear?
- Are participants briefed on CCP policies that would be relevant to a live global broadcast?
- Does CCP make any evaluation of a participants "fitness" to participate before they take the stage?
- What delay/dump protocol does CCP use in broadcast of these events? If it exists why was it not used?

CCP - you have a lot of explaining to do in my opinion.

Dou you have to explicitly be told not to curb stomp an animals brains out into the gutter, to know that's probably not a good thing to do?

There's not much explaining to do, really. The "public image" side of Fanfest has been growing, and this year it had a bit of a collision with the "drunken party vacation" side of it. They'll sort new rules out for presentations next year (presentation vetting, presenting under the influence, etc etc) and all will be well again.

I think others were demonstrating an even greater inebriated state less than a couple of seats away from the Clown in the Wizard hat, yet somehow were still even more capable and civil so as to not incite cyberbullying with others.

...another special snowflake.

Go ahead and melt.

but that's what the alliance panel is supposed to be, a bunch or drunk tool bags being drunken tool bags and waggling their epeens about the place.

The worm hole guy was the worst, he actually had interesting things to say about stuff... what a noob

Don't let good old leaping to conclusions stop you.

I'm half in the bag now.

Drinking until you fall over is awesome fun!

However, getting pissed and then having a microphone put in your face then being expected to be funny doesn't gel with CCP's public statement for mine.

OK, if that's what it's supposed to be then explain CCP's statement that they are supposed to be "respectful and professional"?

Sounds like ass covering.

yu should watch some early bill hicks

That's exactly what it is.
Eve at the alliance level is basically a boys club and CCP likes to think that that's where all the fun is.
Unfortunatly just the alliance bods wouldn't keep the game going and growing and filling CCPs pockets as quickly as they'd like.

So they have to play the PR game and make like being mean and evil just isn't right, even though in game and in character it is.

Ultimatly I think it's more a case of society, as a whole, having it far too good for far too long, I blame political correctness for it all.
