Edited by: Gorefacer on 28/09/2007 04:28:29 I don't play EVE to meet or see girls. I don't enjoy the picture of the girls on the login screen. I can easily ignore them though, so if some of you like it, knock yourself out. I don't hang around on the login screen anyways.
Edit: The Louie Anderson picture was close enough to make me laugh. Nice job.

Lots of people dress up for events. Ever go to GenCon or other gaming conventions? Comic book cons? Sci-fi conventions? Um, if you are the kind of person who wouldn't be caught dead at one of those, well, you are playing a roleplaying game surrounded by many people who do.
And there's only been two women that I've seen wearing chain mail bikinis that actually looked good in them. But who cares? It's all in the name of good fun, it's all in setting the scene.
Hell, my brother in law convinced my sister to go to GenCon last year and dress up like their Guild War avatars and do their characters' dances. And I didn't even know she played games You never know just what you'll be talked into during the course of one's life.
Besides, if you worked for CCP, be glad they don't make you dress up as Jovians at these things. Four hours putting on makeup would make anyone prefer to be Gallente or Caldari, I'm sure.
I agree that this is not the most flattering of pictures, but that would be a bad thing to post. Why? Because it puts others at ease, lowers the bar for people thinking about maybe doing something like this. My fiance's family runs an online jewelry store. They NEVER post the most flattering pictures or the top examples. Why? So they don't build false expectations. Show it off, but make it realistic. Same principle here. Make it real and show that it doesn't have to be perfect. These little "candid" shots are generally less intimidating and more inviting.
Meh, maybe they picked the wrong shot this time. I didn't get a strong reaction either for or against the picture, except to note that CCP doesn't hire models. They use real people. So don't go for the girls, go for the people and to have fun.

Welcome to the world of mass media of the MTV generation where girls that don't look 100% top notch 100% of the time are not allowed to be seen. Emancipation has come a long way in the West...

I think I had a quasi-nightmare based on the picture last night, and it was still there when I logged in this morning.
It might be the one on the right's eyes - I don't know.
When will this madness stop? |

I can't beleive people feel the need to be so rude as seen in plenty in this thread.
The picture might not be completely flattering - and having seen both at fanfest last year, I can say that it misrepresents two extremely cute girls quite a bit.

Really really pale Sebiestor chicks or poor wannabees... or a couple of Deitis femmes who finally figured out what hair styling products are actually supposed to be used for. Unfortunately their mates (of whatever gender/species) have a penchant for Matari face art which renders both young ladies into so much mystery meat.

my god,
thankyou eve community for this thread. I havnt laughed this hard in quite some time. Some of those links were spot on :)
as for the actual pic, yeah it comes across as a bit "look- here be chicks" but lets face it, when doesnt a product brand itself with sex? CCP would do well to back up its claims about femmes playing eve, but lets face it, they are definately a minority.
Furthermore, I really dont think ccp have considered their demograph well here at all. Yep, mostly lads 20-30yrs of age, yep probably lonely and horny/ married/horny. But lets face it, eve is the sort of game where most ship losses are the result of afk **** d/l than from "pilot error".
CCP- we have plenty of teh sex from the interweb. We dont need it on the login screen as well.
Fair play to the actual girls if they werent paid to be their tho- and if they cosplay. I personally dont but I think its cool that people do.

Edited by: HandSoLow on 30/09/2007 14:56:32 ...Its just a picture of 2 girls that have done themselves up for the night. Then someone took a photo and uploaded it. BIG deal.
Great looking girls aswell, cant see why a few people here are calling them names and even calling them ugly, Id say 70% of this gaming community couldnt even start a conversation with these fine ladies LOL. Do you not find them attractive? If you dont then you either must be a homosexual or your one strange looking creature
EDIT: I typed 'Gee-Ay-Why' but it was ***, OMG this must be the only forum in the entire world that filters that word. WTF?! Thats really annoying, it is a word in the dictionary so it should be allowed to be viewed. Why is it that homosexuals fight for their rights...and even fight for the word Gee-Ay-Why to be filtered within these forums..WTF This is the WIERDEST encounter I have ever seen on the internet. It makes me even more homophobic/anti-homo...plain sickning!

Let's get this straight (oops, HandSoLow, sorry - didn't mean to derail your attempt to turn this into your own political "what's right, what's not" rant - I won't use the word 'straight' again...)
The internet is of weirdos...
back on topic: There is a difference between people calling them names, and those of us who just claim it's a terrible picture to be forced to look at.
If we had wanted to look at freaks looking freaky, we might have intentionally searched for some Eve get-together picture album, but we didn't.
The big backlash, here, is that most of us who play eve AREN'T into dressing like that, nor even pretending. We're hard working middle-class people who just want the escape that the game brings - not the over-the-top escape that a very small minority fringe people need, or make a fetish out of.
Moreover, as far as the 'sex' topic goes (using females to attract male players), few off us are so desperate that we'd be turned on, or turned into Eve more, having that picture there.
Maybe if they were smiling it would have been different but, male or female, I think most of us have no desire to log in and be scowled at by fans of a shoddy, half-running game. If sex sells, hire a few models and do their make-up the right way... Or at least don't give me a scowl like you're challenging me to kick your ass.
