- The following fiction in no way represents CCP and it's staff, views, opinions, policies, rules, regulations, preferred choice of condiments, favorite tissue brand, or fleet of server hampsters.
Oveur presides over an internal CCP meeting to discuss recent changes and upcoming company decisions.
Oveur: "Okay folks. Let's get this meeting off to a good start. Before we begin though, I'd like to...for god sakes Papa Smurf would you please put that pinup of Smurfette away? That's the fifth time I've had to ask you this week."
Papa Smurf: "But...but...she's just so blue, and beauti---"
Oveur: "NOW!"
Silently the picture is folded and tucked away.
Valar: "Oveur I do have a question I wanted to ask that myself and the rest of the staff believes to be a priority. Uh...the current health of Sniffy, the oldest hampster...well I'm not sure how long he's going to be with us."
Oveur: "This isn't anything new."
Valar: "Yes, but...he's currently running the three major nodes for the northern hemisphere. He has to run three times faster than any of the other hampsters just to keep things operational."
Oveur: "Look, we've gone over this. The deal we got from PetSmart was for eighteen hampsters only. I tried to get those extra two but the coupon I got from the newspaper didn't cover them."
kieron: "So what happens when the wheel finally flings him across the room?"
Oveur: "Use the new ones we just got in last week."
Eris: "But they aren't properly trained yet!"
Oveur: "Look, I don't care what you have to do. Rubberband a stick with an acorn on the end of it to those things if you have to. Just keep those nodes running. Alright...first agenda, our magazine."
Zapatero: "We met our goal for the initial release, but I'm having some problems with the publisher."
Oveur: "What problems?"
Zapatero: "He wants us to start paying him in hampsters. They just got their new website up and they don't want to rent out server space, so they need hampsters to get their own server running."
Oveur bangs his head on the table repeatedly.
Oveur: "I don't want to hear one more word about hampsters! Next agenda...the patch we have coming up next month. Gnauton, did we get those changes finalized for the test server?"
Gnauton: "Yes, but players don't seem to like the new font we put in."
duckling: "Well maybe you shouldn't have let your daughter pick a random font out of the blue."
Gnauton throws a copy of "Ugly Duckling" across the room at duckling.
Gnauton: "There, go put that in your pipe and smoke it."
duckling: "I'll put you in a pipe you outdated Windows 3.1 nerd!"
Gnauton is thrown backwards over his chair as duckling crashes into him. With a grunt Gnauton tosses his opponent through the plaster wall into the next office and jumps through. Faint scrabbling noises can be heard nextdoor. While everyone is distracted, Papa Smurf pulls out the pinup of Smurfette and unfolds it under the table.
Nebulai.: "Uh, shouldn't we..."
Oveur: "No, they do this all the time. Let's move on. How's the server stability issue?"
kieron: "Despite our, um...power source problems, the recent hardware upgrade we completed has fixed a lot of previous issues we were trying to get a handle on. However, we're losing bandwidth late at night because someone keeps downloading Sailer Moon clips using our server lines."
Oveur: "People, this isn't a playground! It's a place of business! Our server lines are for the server only!"
Eris: "But last week you told me about those Star Trek clips you--"
Oveur: "Eris, not now. Okay, does anyone have any questions?"
Everyone looks around the room with silent faces, just as duckling and Gnauton fly through the doorway and through the drywall into the other office nextdoor.
Oveur: "No? Alright then. Our next meeting will be next week. Let's get back to work."

You must not disclose such information. Greenpeace will hear from that. The servers will be down for weeks, until Ouveur agrees with an 8-hours days for rodents, organic fodder and 10m2 cages.

"Random Cucumber wrecks Eris's..." I'd better stop talking now, before my ships are all pink....
The more CCP uses modules to resolve balance issues instead of systemwide rules, the more control CCP will have over how EVE works. CCP, please keep this in mind before swinging the nerfbat. |

This reminds me of the good old stories about Concord meetings, what Agents talk about when not seeing clients and what all those dirty Sansha pirates are doing in the belts...
Anyone remember those? Perhaps with a link or something?
