It was very nice of you to post up there is a competition on Ten Ton Hammer to win Eve stuff.....
But you failed to mention that anyone outside of the USA/Canada is being discriminated against, ie, we are not allowed to take part, if we live in Rest of the World
So, either give us other people our own competition, or withdraw support for that Ten Ton Hammer discrimination ---

Could still win a PLEX oooOOOoooooooh.
But yeah, pretty shoddy for an Iceland-based company to make the usual "Rah rah North America = world" assumptions. |

Why would they open it to people outside the USA/Canada? Everyone knows the people outside of North America don't have electricity/internet/basic sewage. Bunch of uncivilized savage cannibals. Too busy running around eating each other and such to develop those things.

DISCRIMINATION
More like, not worth the legal trouble for a site that primarily serves North American audiences.

Africa is outside North America so this competition is racist.
Israel is outside North America so this competition is anti-semitic.
Europe is outside North America so this competition is anti... no wait just suck it up Euro***s.

This would be an interesting world if no one discriminated between anything (okay... maybe not). I wonder what the "one object" would be which everything is. Maybe just a letter. Everything henceforth is "c".

Because if you don't, we'll drown you in sewage, eat you and steal your electricity…

It has nothing to do with discrimination. I has to do with not wanting to have to pay lawyers to make sure that the contest is legal all over the world. It is tough enough just doing it for the States. Their legal fees would be twenty times what the combined prizes are worth. --------------

Maybe they were using these maps http://humor.beecy.net/misc/world/
Slightly on topic, I think it may be the Germans! They have very strict competition laws which often messes up any Euro wide competitions.

There's plenty of competitions out there (not specifically EVE based of course) that are US ONLY. Most of the time it's that way because of legal restrictions and shipping costs to certain areas. It's not discrimination.

A well built castle, with generators (imported from North America of course) and a small squad of well trained snipers would work. Pretty sure that is why the rest of the world has castles and/or large walls built everywhere, to keep the zombies and/or cannibals out. North Americans didn't really need them (except at the southern border where the zombies are pouring in from Mexico and trying to eat our jobs...err...I mean brains).
Or maybe CCP is just telling us that the servers are in England because they know that no one is going to risk their lives fighting all the cannibals to go check and verify this. It could be anywhere.

Since tentonhammer is the one hosting the contest, perhaps you could ask them instead of asking CCP, who seems to have little to do with it?
This is a pretty lame thread.

Your logic is broke. Competition in EVE != competition IRL, since one follows a single set of rules and the latter does not.
Also, TenTonHammer went down the drain. I'm not sure why anybody would still read their crap.
