Hi guys, once again it's approaching the time for me to spread some Christmas cheer.
Greetings all,
On Dec 14th, 2016, I will host the fifth annual Christmas giveaway event in a system to be announced at a later date.
the first event was in 2012 and we have held the event each year since then.
Each year, the people who help or donate, or even just come and enjoy the fun makes it a truly special time in New Eden when it seems that disputes and hostilities are set aside for a single evening in favor of fun, laughter and of course "Gift Giving". For those who were here last year, I Will be flying around New Eden (between now and the time of the event) in my beautifully skinned sleigh provided by the group who attended last year's event, and I might just jettison a can with something valuable inside it, a little teaser for you all.
The planned events for this year are: (in no particular order)
1. The Annual battle (details to be released later)
2. The "Ship Scramble" where pilots will be given "some" warning to be ready and one of my helpers will leave (or jettison) a fully fit ship out in space generally within sight of the station (but not warp to range) and pilots will scramble to be the first one into the ship to claim it. this event will be repeated throughout the evening based on the number of people who show up in the system and the number of fitted ships we have that evening.
3. A "Can Hunt" where some pilots can put their scanning skills to good use to locate a can (its really going to be a ship named "can"... shhhhh) in space that will contain a prize.
4. Cansplosion!!!!! I'll left you folks guess about this one *wink*. Hint: you don't blow up the cans (due to some issues with suspect timers last year, we may come up with something else to replace cansplosion this year)
5. Frigate races for a prize... (self explanatory I hope)
Giveaways in station, giveaways in local, conga lines, EvE trivia and more are all awaiting this year's attendees.
Each year, my main and his corp have provided items for this event, and each year the event has been made more than what it would have been by those of you who have donated to the cause, so, if anyone would like to donate items, ships, or even iskies toward the event, please feel free to send or contract them to me.
As was the rule last year, please make sure that the item is in .5 or higher security systems (not high sec islands please) and the folks who have offered to haul them to the event site for me will do so. as always, I have no intention of keeping items or isks for myself and should the case arise where there are extra things, they will carry over to the following year's event.
That is all for now.
o/ everyone and Fly safe.
Santa
PS. If the forum Mods could un-stick last year's post and stick this one?, it would be great

Not sure if I can rearrange my days off that week to partake in the festivities like I did last year.
However, as the winner of both frigate races last year (does that make me reigning champion?) Perhaps it would be fitting if I provided the ship I used to win both races? I'll even throw in a trio of skins.

Way to miss the point of the holidays and spreading cheer. Doesnt matter if you get something or not, its supposed to be fun and maybe some new people will get a good start in the game.
Although with an attitude like that im sure santa spirit can scrounge up some veldspar coal to put in a jetcan named jins stocking for you in your preferred system :)

To donate, simply make a private contract of what you want to donate. Make the contract available to the OP (Santa Spirit). He said to make sure you place the contract in a system with 0.5 or higher security.
That is all I did to make our donation.
As for how to become involved as a player, I imagine we should contact Santa Spirit or one of his corp-mates on Dec 14th for more details. |

If it was the one in null sec, i sent an email to that person and the courier one i guessed was a mistake maybe? but we had to reject both of those even though it was nothing personal against who sent them.

Correct, we will be announcing the event system in the first post late on the 12th, or early on the 13th so that folks can have time to get to the system. It is fairly central in eve, so hopefully not too much of a journey for anyone.

Cool, you're perfectly entitled to have that view if you want to, no hard feelings.
With that said, you're still more than welcome to come join the event, just let my elves know that you don't want any of the gifts and they'll respect your request.
:)
Merry Christmas too, whether you come visit or not.
7o Santa.

I started playing Eve few days ago, having been a non-player fan for several years, and this is just the kind of community made content that I've heard so much about and made me start playing. Been totally hooked and will definitely clear my calender for the 14th, for a chance to grap for those sweet sweet PLEX and cruisers! Kudos to all of you for making this possible :) |

I wish that were possible too, however, we have witnessed people "NOT" fighting during the event when they would otherwise be fighting, so there's no end to the way the citizens of New Eden can make things work if they want to.

Ships, Modules, blueprints of any type, Skins, Implants, plex, and even iskies all go into the event either as prizes, parts of a bigger prize and even sometimes buying cans to put the gifts in, or items to complete a ship fitting for the ship scramble, or other event prizes.
There is no minimum and no limit to the donations, it is entirely up to the person doing the giving as to what they want to give.

What we used to do was just have a couple hundred cans in the cargo hold and jettison them all, then people could scoop them up or just open them and take what was in them out, but the new crimewatch mechanic made it too easy to engage someone with a suspect timer, so we are working on a different way to accomplish this without players getting a suspect timer, in fact we will be testing it soon to ensure it works right.

I just put up a contract up with a few BPC's for the Santa Project - about 300+ T1, plus a bunch of T2 stuff I had laying around.
Most are maxed researched + max runs from BPO's that I have picked up over the years with little or no dups in the care package.
Ships (frig - BC), ammo, bolt on parts, rigs, etc. A nice care package for when you just can't get into Amar/Jita to shop. |

Darn! Looks like I'll miss the events due to RL work Anyhoo, good luck to everybody! Hope each and every person gets something and has a lot of fun!
And of course, a very Merry and Blessed Christmas to all!

I was following the entire thing with great interest. You guys are awesome for organizing such an event. Kudos! That said I can't ignore how disappointed I am for the system of choice. Why would you choose a system in one of the 4 major factions space? Amarr Empire? Really. For every dude on the 'wrong' side of FW can't even fly in the system. You should have picked something neutral. I flew all the way there to only sit in the station. I guess Eve Christmas ain't for everyone :( |

I mean everything in this story with all due respect, so bear with me. I will also say that I thank everyone involved in this event for organizing it and
Long story short, so far the event has been both good and bad for me.
Now before you get mad and call me out or anything, let me explain.
My home is in Weld, 27 jumps from the system of the event. I made the trip to the system yesterday in my Caldari Shuttle, only took a half hour or so due to some gatecamps so not complaining there, I'm used to long trips.
When I got there I went to an NPC station, and after some clarification was quickly rerouted to the Fortizar. I then logged off for sleep and wouldn't be able to get back for another 14 hours or so.
When I logged back in I discovered that the scanning event was starting, and with only a shuttle I was struggling to try to get a scanning ship, however someone had already won by the time I got my ship.
So got a little frustrated over that.
But then, something happened that lifted my spirits! One of Santa's helpers gifted me a Svipul, and while I can't use one, I am glad for the isk that it could make me, because 40 mil is a lot for me right now.
And then the shuttle race was starting. Perfect! I already had a shuttle at the station that I traveled in to get here! So I waited a half hour and the race began.
It then became apparent to me just how unfair the race was. In my shuttle I was going at 575 m/s, along with a lot of the other new players. However many of the older players were reaching 600-625 m/s in their shuttles! While 25 m/s might not seem like a lot, it made a huge difference, as within 4 seconds they would go 100 meters farther than I would.
Of course I didn't win, and got a little mad over it.
Second race, same result. But at least it was pretty cool to see all those shuttles!
And then I really got mad. Prior to this I had signed up for the Omega PVP tournament, only being told it would take place in the near future and no time was set when I had settled down for sleep. Fast forward 15 hours, I had discovered that the event had already taken place without me.
Now I was pissed, I had mainly flown over here for that event specifically and I had missed it because of my scheduling. I was complaining constantly in local and I will admit, I was a bit of a jerk for a good half hour, and I apologize to anyone I might have insulted.
And then something happened that warmed my heart. Santa Spirit himself gifted my a rookie pirate ship, something I've always wanted to get my hands on!
That's when I figured out, Christmas isn't about getting gifts, Christmas is about showing kindness to others! And though I will not be able to donate financially (due to 8 mil isk wallet), I will go on from here with a positive outlook!
Merry Christmas everyone, and when your inner Grinch starts to lash out, take a deep breath for a second and step back from the situation and go in with a positive attitude!

Thanks for the input, it is appreciated and you are right, we were running a little behind today, there was a RL issue that arose right at the last minute and I had to tend to it, so instead of 17:00 getting the alphas ready, it was almost 19:00 before i was able to do so after that, things went pretty much to the original "time-frame", just a later start. also, the elves kept the presents flowing pretty well in between times, so I am appreciative of their assistance.
Thanks again for the feedback and Merry Christmas. o/ Santa

Came online at 16:21 The Annual battle for the alpha was delayed .. by like 2 hours .. there was way too many Gallante alpha pilots so I didn't even get the chance to get into the fight. So I had to wait it out doing nothing and staying in the station because there was a giveaway in the meantime and in order to get into that .. you needed to watch the Local chat that had around 150+ players in it constantly writing .. and even if you managed to get that .. you still needed to be in the top 20 fastest to react to be able to win . After that an other long waiting was coming while the omegas was fighting at around midnight .. Then there was an other Giveaway where you jsut had to be docked and they selected you sooner or later in trade and gave you something. Affter that came the Ship Scramble event where half of the players could not even notice that it started .. once again because of the too much chatter in local . (There may have been more .. but I only noticed 1) Then the final event .. the Race .. it was like 10 player racing and everyone else was just there for shows .. because there was no restriction other than you can only use a shuttle .. so for example an avarage Alpha clone could get max top speed of 575 m/s .. others got 600-650 .. and even more .. There was 2 round in this race .. after the first round it was clear that there is no way you can catch up to those guys .. so i tried out something that I knew it gonna disqualificate me .. I bookmarked the first checkpoint and than warped out .. than back to the checkpoint .. than raced my way till the finish with a huuuge lead .. but still..they cought up with me at the finish line .. that's how much faster they were than the 90% of the other racers .. but it was not "unfair" they said... So yeah .. 11 hours "wasted" not sure if it worth it or not but I hoped for something better that's for sure. Still .. Thanks Santa and your helpers for this event. |

Thank you to Santa Spirit, all of Santa's helpers and all the people and corps who donated their time and assets to making this such a great event.
I, personally, went there to enjoy the banter and fun to be had in local chat and to watch the joy that was being spread around with the gift giving and the events.
I missed some of the beginning, but I caught several hours of the event and enjoyed chatting with folks in local quite a bit. It has been many years since I was part of one of these player hosted events and it was great to see so many pilots having a good time.

You were a petulant child, stomping your feet and screaming at the top of your lungs because you didn't get what you wanted and you, personally, ruined the end of the event for me. I, frankly, wanted to pod you... repeatedly.
Santa Spirit is a much better pilot than I - I would have left you nothing but carebear tears for your actions and wouldn't have given you jack. |

We go to a different system every year, we started in Minmatar space the first time, and have changed faction's space each time, I and my helpers understand that there's always going to be someone who ends up with a bit of a headache, but next year someone else will have the headache, and the year after that it will be someone else, ect ect. We could find an area maybe that's "neutral to everyone" (Concord space maybe)? if we look hard enough, but in doing so, we would open ourselves (and the folks who help haul things for the event) up to being setup for ganks, decs and other nefarious schemes, so we practice what we hope are good security practices and always hope that as few folks as possible are affected, but we know some still will be.

This is the first time I am using the forums and this being my first post, I regret it being one filled with complaint.
Now I will start off with the part which cannot and I emphasize cannot be blamed on bad planning or lack of organization as such an excuse would be an even bigger farce than the mini-event. Yes, ladies and gents, the shuttle race. I will get to the location of choise in a moment aswell.
**Start of Rant**
Shuttle Race Thievery
For the love of the merciless EVE god, do not call it a race if 95% of your racing field are alphas, whom you pit up against an Omega with snakes, skills and pills - which they never in a million years will stand a chance at beating. You may aswell just have given the CCP prize to the cherry-picked golden goose (thief), as the snug **** had his arms wide open from the get go. Why dangle talk of marvelous prizes in front of people, that they are unable to fairly win? Not even High-Sec podding **** are this cruel. I'd go as far as to say there should NOT be a prize given to the 'winner' and that this prize should be added to the pool for next years race, which in turn should be held fairly; seperate races for Alphas, Omegas (maxed Nav. skills) and an all-out implants/pills group. Why you may ask? So that people can RACE, you know maneuvering around the respective checkpoints based on Piloteering skills, and not automatically be gifted a massive prize for spending bank on luxury items - which is essentially what happened here. Said person was given free loot in an official race and for lack of better words - for cheating.
Location location location
Amarr Space? This one is so mindboggling I am unsure whether to laugh it off or complaint. Perhaps I'll let my fellow Pilots take care of this one.
**End of Rant**
Thanks to all the generous Pilots and CCP for making this happen, and my respect to Santa and Santa's helpers for stepping up to the task and spending their valuable time spreading gifts and christmas cheer - and for the successful events aswell
Thank to all the pilots who showed up, whether it was for the shinies or for the companionship and atmosphere. Last, but not least: thanks to me, Xantiema, for taking the time to write this spectacular post. |

So I was online for about 8 hours and only got to be part the conga but here are some pics of me leading a Gallante Shuttle conga around the Fortizar. About 50 ships in the line by the end! Think most of the events happened when I went to bed.
Merry Christmas and thanks to the team for the organisation.

I respect all involved in the making of this event but just one criticism. I was in that system for about 5 hours and not much really happened in that time. I realise it was a long event, but maybe next time you could do things a bit more often rather than have large periods of time with nothing going on.
Thank you to whoever opened the Christmas riddle channel. That was a lot of fun. |

I was there and I have to say it was great! I especially enjoyed the 1v1 Alpha Battle. Will be there next year again hopefully and maybe I'll be donating something then.
The only point of criticism I have is that it went on forever. If at all possible, condensing the events (except for the giveaways maybe to allow people of different timezones to participate) into a ~4 hour window would be great for the next time. |

I know the person who is Santa Spirit in real life, and I can tell you that he would likely not say anything about some of the comments unless he wanted/needed to make a point, I on the other hand have absolutely no qualms whatsoever saying what I think.
Santa Spirit took more than a day off from his job and spent a ton of his game time since October to make final preparations and to host the event, in fact, he was there from 7:00 am his time, until he said good night in local and thanked people for coming, that was around 15 hours at his computer with the exception of the real life issue that pulled him away for almost 2 hours.
The first time he did this, he and a few friends donated their time and assets to the event, the second time was the same, the third time, CCP helped out some as did other players who donated isks and/or ships, the 4th time and this most recent one had CCP and many players giving to the event.
Each and every time there have been folks who complained about one thing or another, each and every event had it's share of grinches who for the most part entirely miss the whole point of the event.
This year, there was someone complaining that Alphas didn't stand a chance against omegas, ect ect ect, yet, there were several "Alpha" toons there that were born as far back as 2005. That person further went on to make statements regarding implants and skills, yet, I personally doubt they are aware that if an omega account goes alpha and has implants in their head at the time, those implants stay in. Aside from spouting rhetoric out of their rear end, they offered no way to do a check and balance to ensure "fairness"... Would they have expected Santa and his helpers to require API keys to see who has what, how about the omega toon who just started and paid for a subscription?, should they be considered an Alpha instead just so someone's panties wouldn't be in a bunch? How about the person who didn't read the forum post for the event time and then complained that things were over when they finally got there, should the entire event have been delayed even further because someone went to bed or someone didn't show up at all and their spot had to be filled from local just so there would be some sport?
How about the Gallente Pilot who complained that there were too many other Gallente pilots who had signed up and there wasn't a spot for them in the battle because they were Gallente.... I guess Santa and crew were to blame because lots of people decide to be Gallente and they stole the other pilot's chance to join in?
Oh and I loved the one about "by the time i got a ship to do the scanning, the item had already been found" really, that's Santa's fault too i guess. I mean, no one is expected to actually be prepared for an event when they come to it are they?
I saw things going on the whole time I was there, I never saw no huge lapses in things aside from the time that was taken to get the battle pilots setup and battling, this is without even factoring in the pilots themselves chatting, laughing and talking while the two guys were setting up the fleets. (the one guy had to ask them multiple times to hold the chatter while he got the fleet setup)
Anyway, this is just what I saw and how I view it, I appreciate Santa's efforts (and everyone who helped & donated) and his restraint because i would have told some of the folks where to get off the bus if I were him.

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal.
Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular.

LOL, yes you do, and while I appreciate your effort, we will never be able to make everyone happy. as long as most of the people had fun I call it a win.
Next year, there will be folks who aren't welcome in the region we will be in there, they will likely be put off like the folks were about Amarr this year.
It's all good.

This might be the first, and only time I post on the EVE forums. (They terrify me.)
Can I say the event that happened was perfect? No, but of course, what IS perfect these days? Nothing, exactly. There were a few issues that occurred before some of the major events started, such as the Alpha fights, but instead of blaming the event coordinators, like several people did, they should have blamed the ISP or whatever was causing the technical issues on Santa Spirit's end. (Several of us came to the conclusion the Grinch was stealing Santa's bandwidth.)
As far as the events that were held, I personally took part in one, the shuttle race, and upon retrospect, I was helping the Grinch in complaining about the race, even though it was game mechanics, not the race itself, which created an advantage for seasoned pilots. I would like to formally apologize for the bitter comment I left in local over it. The other events seemed good fun for all involved, I do wish I had thought to brought a scanner ship to take part in the can hunt.
Another thing that seemed to be a hot ticket of comments is the prize distribution, or lack thereof. I personally came to the event with a blank slate of expectations. Sure, I wasn't one of the lucky few to get a PLEX, but I did receive a few nice ships, and I wound up giving some things I got gifted to Alpha pilots that could use them. There were many complaints about how "There were trillions of donations, where's my super expensive thing" But the thing is, at any given point there were 105+ pilots in the system. And that was after I had arrived very late to the party.
In my time in the sector, I saw many complaints about not having anything to do, or a lack of things going on, etc. At a few points I remember saying you'll have as much fun at this event as you want to have. If you expect to have no fun, you won't. I had a good time just talking with other pilots and seeing such a large group of people in local that wasn't trying to scam people or kill them. (Even with the few occasional 'kill the Golem' jokes) I had many laughs, and a few of us even made our own mini sub-events like a riddle guessing game that around 40 some pilots took part in.
In my opinion, this community, every community, should have more events like this, where a large part of the player-base can put down their weapons, drop their distrust, even for a few hours, and just have a good time and talk. I understand an event like this is extremely hard to put together, but I truly wish it could happen more than once per year.
In conclusion of this long-winded statement: I would like to extend a deep personal thanks to the coordinators of this event, Santa Spirit, his helpers, Rudolph, the owners of the fortizar we used as a hub for the festivities, and of course all the generous donators, CCP included. I hope this event continues to be an annual staple of the community, and grows more and more as time goes on. I look forward to seeing everyone again in 2017. |

I would like to thank everyone who donated to, and/or attended the EvEnt, I do apologize for the disconnects from EvE and for the delay that happened during the EvEnt.
I also want to let everyone know that while this year's EvEnt didn't go as smooth as I'd have liked, I will be starting again in October 2017 preparing for next year's EvEnt.
I look forward to seeing everyone there again.
Until that time, Merry Christmas to each and every one of you and your families, and the best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year. o7 Santa

Had a great time. The cat herding, I mean, shuttle racing was probably the best bit.

Hi Hi SANTA! o/
I want to say that I loved the event. I want to thank all of the people that came and sowed their support for santa and his elves. I really really enjoyed myself that day and had tons of fun with everyone! Thank you so so so so sososososo much youluvly guyz for putting on a wonderful event.
I am a little sad that I lost in my event... but that just means I need to work harder for it next time. it was awesome how the event was leveled for the omegas by putting us all in equal terms where exp counted more then impresive bling and such. My only suggestion on that would have been our shield res mod should have really been against our natural enemy... As an amarr pilot, I would say probably thermal, given our big fight I think is Gallente...
I did think it was a tad skewed against newer players, but thats just the way the mechanics of eve are designed... which makes sense, the lure is to stay subscribed so you can train up and get more bonuses to what you do. Its just that thing we call... marketing. XD even still, I had ssooo much fun with every one, and that was really the whole purpose of the event. Not the games and prizes, that was just things to do and things to make ppl smile! It was all to get us together where we weren't pointing guns at eachothers faces and saying "really? cr@p" ever few min.
Events are what ppl make of them and I thought this was a blast and hope to make it back next year.
On one note, santa.... something that would be so totes awesomeness extraordinaire.... if CCP could offer some truly unique offers into the pot. Like, when I read pirate faction rookie ships... there were a few NPC ships that have no way to get a hold of them from each of the pirate groups. Like the one that looks like a cross between a daredevil and a scorpion... or the one that looks like a succubus with a long tail (its actually pictured in the page background image right now on the left ). Not sure if its possible, but thats something I would just love to have in my hanger someday.
I find that the more love you give out to ppl the more comes your way. I was so nervous when I came to system, I had no idea what to expect, and I was so happy to have so much fun.
Wish I could have stayed in longer, but everyone has their time limits, especially when you have life to tend to.
Again, thank you so so much Santa and friends for such a wonderful event. I hope I can come next year, and maybe even help out a little in some way.
o/ The Sparkly Blind princess. |

The best way that I've found to do that is to post to the thread, and receive notifications of posts to the thread, or keep a bookmark on your desktop and remember to open it every day to see if there are changes.
o/ Hope to see you next time Santa

Hey now, the Riddle contest hosted by me, inpromptu like went off pretty well.
over the course of 2 hours i gave away about 350-400 million isk, it was impromptu, but i look forward to doing it again next year as well, albeit with a little more prepwork and actually having the riddles all created (i came up with most of them off the cuff as it were) |
