Howdy folks,
Over the last year or so, we've been running a community-based testing project we call "Mass-Testing", on Singularity. While we've gotten a lot of good results from this, we're still not quite happy with the player turnout to these events. I'd like to make things a bit interesting, so I'm offering a bet to the entire EVE playerbase:
"I don't think you can 'bring it'.. so prove me wrong!"
!*! The Bet !*!
IF: In each of the next 3 mass-tests, after the one tomorrow, we have 500+ players show up and participate; I will do one of the following:
(you'll get to vote for which one, if I lose.. I will then post pics on the forums as proof)
- Wear a kilt and war-paint
- Dress up as an exotic dancer for the next CCP staff-meeting
- Answer petitions for a day, wearing a wig, dress, and high-heels
- Dye my hair pink
How can you get involved?
- First, read this thread. It has lots of info about testing, how to get onto Sisi, and what it being tested.
- Second, join the "mass-testing info" mailing list on TQ. We send periodic updates and info about test events to this list, which ends up directly into your in-game mail box.
- Otherwise, just hop on Sisi next time you hear about a mass-test event. Anyone with an active Sisi account is always welcome to join in!

kilt and warpaint, I feel like you would do that anyways and is probably the least embarrassing exotic dancer, hmmm cross dressing more cross dressing pink hair, how do we know you wont borrow the pink wig? although I guess this one is a bit more lasting
probably going to have to vote for answer petitions for a day, wearing a wig, dress, and high-heels
someone has to answer them sometime!

Maybe because there has been no significant (if any) result of these tests.

Am totally sad panda I can't make the first one. Is a better incentive than 'We can fix lag' though ---

hmmm sounds like you'd positively "hate" to be "forced" to dress up as a lady going by the options.
I suppose this must be my sig. I'll do something cool with it eventually. |

Maybe because there has been no significant (if any) result of these tests.
And that might be because they don't get enough participants to test whatever changes they made in an effective manner to release on TQ.
And so the circle is completed...
I say that everyone here just participate in this one. Just one, to begin with. If CCP gets their act together and posts a devblog or posts some sort of feedback saying "thanks to the turnout, we were able to successfully test such and such change in the coding", that should show everyone that these tests have a purpose.
If you don't show up, well, the pot thought it was pretty clever to call the kettle black.

We'll also accept suggestions for what else I could do if I lose this wager, from you fine folks.
I admit, the cross-dressing and kilt-wearing aren't quite enough options for my liking either. But that's what you get when you ask a bunch of tired GMs for ideas :p. So, what can you think of that's better, and can you "bring it"?.

I think pink hair dye requires bleaching of the hair first, and will be hard to reverse. Pink hair dye FTW is my vote ------------------------------------

All 4 options you suggested involve you dressing in a skirt of sorts... Were these your ideas?
Is there anything we should know about, CCP Tanis?

The ideas came from the EVE Content and GM teams. I'm not sure why they're so fixated on me being in a dress, but who am I to question their insane desires?
Feel free to suggest your own as well. If I lose, we'll add the most popular suggestion (assuming it's feasible) into the options for voting at the end.

How about, uhm... FIXNG THE LAG? Isn't that the whole point of the damn thing? Or at least keep the players updated on the state of affairs. Something as simple as "we have started experiencing issues with 450 people online, if we get 500 we will get conclusive data" shhould be enough.

Can 'use the results of the mass tests to fix lag' be an option? That would be swell.

I've got a better idea.
How about you post, or get another dev to post an actual response to how you guys complete blew off the CSM. Those minutes are a joke, and I'm getting tired of waiting for an answer from you guys.
This way, you get to have a bunch of people in the Mass Test, and we don't get jerked around. /win

Edited by: Ressiv on 14/07/2010 20:39:34 You have balls, I have to give you that.
Also, it shows either confidence in competence on getting **** done, or a desperate attempt to get people on the mass test event.
I hope you realised before posting that if we manage to get you to live up to this, there will be no more valid reasons for not getting it done ...
I'll be there. And we dont want pictures, we want fraps!
My vote goes to: Commitment to excellence promo vid featuring you as you, explaining how and what got done due to this.
I dont care to see you in a dress, I'd like to be able to link to that vid and know we can have faith in you guys, without having to rely wild guesses as to if you guys are still on track. ... then again ... it could be funny to have you do that as an exotic dancer.

TBH I REALLY like the exotic dancer bit (if we get pics), but I like that people pointed out that we'd all really like to see some benefit of mass testing on Sisi.
As for incentives (which I also think that the knowledge that joining these tests will actually help find ways to reduce fleet fight lag is a good one) how about something for the players? Maybe if we got something like... oh.. I don't know... more free sp ... more people would be interested to joining.

as much as i secretly enjoy public embarrassment of other people, I vote for something cool and/or nerdy. something like the zulupark q&a thread (from however long ago that was) where you have to answer our stupid and/or inane questions, especially about lag. _____________________ Horrors!

Don't see the point in torturing you; none of the stuff you're suggesting is interesting to me.
If you want participation for a game-related thing (stress-testing), then reward with in-game stuff. Ideas:
- give everyone who participates in the mass tests a free day of subscription to their account.
- implement some sort of achievement points / medal / recognition for participating in these scheduled stress- or bug-test sessions (these should be visible on the TQ character, for brag rights).
- re-invent the Lottery system, limited to the stress-testers only, and with the prize(s) being something from the EVE Store (T-shirts, mugs, whatever).

How about you reward us by not ignoring the CSM and thousands of players telling you to stop producing a dozen meaningless new trinkets each year and fix what's already in the ****ing game?

I think for 500-999 involved players, Tanis will have to do one of those options, and for 1000+, do one the the mentioned things, and open up Jove space for a week, or remove a security ratings on all systems and have a Day of Chaos!
