Christmas Comes Early To Eve Radio
Season's greetings pod pilots.
It's been a long, long time since we've made an address like this. Over two years in fact.
Two long years of no real promotion or regular communication with the Eve Online community as a whole. No significant events, announcements or direct communication with CCP. In fact, for the most part we've catered mainly to our own pocket community without extending further a field and throwing ourselves at the mercy of the Eve Online community forums.
Well, guess what? Times have changed. And so have we.
This post is broken up into three parts. If you can't handle a wall of text, I suggest you skip to the shiny part on page 2 titled Christmas Comes Early!
What Is Eve Radio? Concerning CCP Christmas Comes Early!
Quote: What Is Eve Radio?
Eve Radio is an Internet Radio Station broadcasting live music and chat to the players of CCP's Eve Online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since EO's beta period in early 2003. It streams a high quality 128kbps audio broadcast to thousands of unique weekly listeners and has enjoyed huge success with fans from across the globe.
It was started as an Eve Online beta period project by a couple of ISD volunteers and quickly drew the attention of a small, but loyal fan base. After Eve Online was released and Eve Radio's existence became known to the small but growing subscriber base, it was decided to push it to the next level and re-launch it with a full working schedule in August 2003.
Since that time Eve Radio has grown massively, streaming to a minimum average of 150 people during our quietest periods and upto a peak of over 500 simultaneous listeners. During any given 7 day period Eve Radio serves a minimum of 3000 unique listeners, making it one of the most popular MMO based Internet Radio Stations in the world.
Eve Radio has also co-produced and hosted several unique events, including the first Eve Online Alliance Tournament as well as the pilot Eve TV Alliance Tournament.
From December 2008 Eve Radio is making efforts to push things to the next level once again, starting with a massive give away and competitive event to help pave the way for a very busy and exciting 2009 expansion.
Quote: Concerning CCP
Eve Radio itself is a privately funded organisation that has no legal ties or associations with Crowd Control Productions (CCP) and as such operates under it's own private mandate.
We enjoy a good relationship with our friends at CCP and have partnered with them on several occasions to bring unique events to thousands of simultaneous listeners as well as run a full 24/7 broadcast schedule with a generous mix of music, events and discussion geared towards the Eve Online player.
CCP games are in no way responsible for the on air content broadcast at Eve Radio nor are they interested in addressing any complaints regarding Eve Radio, it's DJ's or on air content.
Please see CCP's knowledge base article concerning Eve Radio for clarification.

And now to the good bit that most of you have probably skipped to.
To both celebrate our fifth year of operation and successful brand "reboot", we're holding a weeklong event that should appeal to everyone who likes good music, good chat and likes free stuff.
That's right. Free stuff.
Over the course of the event, Eve Radio will be randomly giving away the following :-
20 x 500 million ISK instant prizes 10 x 60 day ETC's 1 x Complete Faction Battleship Model set
And that's just the main event.
Individual DJ's will also be hosting their own special events and giveaways throughout the event period; so don't be surprised if there's even more free swag going.
So what do you have to do to get your hands on this free stuff?
For the main event, all you need to do is make sure you are tuned into Eve Radio periodically from the 15th - 21st December. You can do this by visiting www.eve-radio.com and tuning in automatically via the built in website player or by connecting with third party players (Winamp, VLC or our proprietary GRN Tuner) to one of our three primary streams.
Full connection details for third party players are available on the front page of the Eve Radio website.
Once tuned into Eve Radio, you just need to keep your ears open for a special audio alert periodically played during the 7 day event period and then send an Evemail titled "Giveaway" to the character MrBlades (Please ensure that the MrBlades character you send the evemail to is a member of the Eve Radio Corporation with DJ Whitey as CEO to avoid scammers) and be the nth person to do so during that round.
Each day of the event, the nth number will be updated on the Eve Radio website. So make sure you check for updates regularly.
Example :-
On day 3 of the event, the 18th person to send in an Evemail to MrBlades shortly after the audio alert has been played will win either 500 million ISK or a single 60-day ETC.
There will be 30 such audio alerts over the 7 day period, at any given time day or night.
To maximise your chances of hearing an alert, it is recommended you use the built in website player to listen to Eve Radio as most (But not all) alerts will be accessible only via the website.
Should a listener be fortunate enough to win one of the 30 instant prizes, they will also be given a special code that when inputted into our Event Mission Database will give you access to a special Eve Radio Agent Assignment which, if completed successfully, will grant you instant inclusion in the grand finale Complete Faction Battleship Model set giveaway on Sunday 21st December between 1800 - 2100 gmt.
Full details of the Agent Database will be posted prior to the event start.
In addition to the 30 winners codes, there will be 20 additional codes given away during the week by on air DJ's, bringing the total number of grand finale prize draw entries to 50.
And to top it all off, on the night of the prize draw, an additional 5 platinum tickets will be given out by Dj FunkyBacon with instant fast track access to the draw.
So in theory, a maximum of 55 people will be eligible for the main prize draw on Sunday night. Should a code holder not complete the agent assignment in the allotted time they will not be included in the finale draw.

Agent Missions
We decided giving away a Complete Faction Battleship Model set deserved a little more thought and involvement than relying on blind luck. Therefore we created the Eve Radio Mission Database for the fortunate first round winners to sink their teeth into.
There are 50 unique assignments that have been created for this event. They are mostly of the trade and courier variety, although there are some good old kill missions thrown in there as well for good measure. Be prepared to lose sec status for this. Most are based on a loose storyline revolving around Eve Radio and as the assignments are completed, we will broadcast them on air so everyone gets to hear what we've had the lucky winners doing.
If you visit the Event Mission Database (Details TBA) and enter the code "XYGPTL" it will play an example mission for you, so you'll have a rough idea what to expect.
We certainly hope you enjoy this part of the event as it is paving the way for a future interactive RP project we are going to be running at Eve Radio in the new year.
The community
We already have a thriving community at Eve Radio and we invite each and every one of you participating in this event to stop by and get involved with the regulars. You can do this by joining our IRC chat room #eve-radio on the coldfront server or by jumping in game and joining the Eve Radio channel.
Summary
20 x 500 million ISK instant cash prizes 10 x 60 day ETC prizes 1 x Complete Faction Battleship Model set giveaway Plus numerous DJ specific events and competitions
Please note, all efforts will be made to deliver ISK and ETC prizes to winners as close to the draw as possible. The lucky winner of the complete Faction Battleship Model set can expect delivery during January of 2009.
Entry to the grand finale Faction Battleship Model set is conditional on completing the assigned agent missions. Draw to be made 21st December at 20.30 gmt.
For the best chance of winning any of the above prizes, listeners are advised to connect to the built in website player at www.eve-radio.com.
Event starts 0700 gmt Monday 15th December Event concludes 2100 gmt Sunday 21st December
Join us in irc at :-
irc.coldfront.net, channel #eve-radio
Join us in game at :-
Eve Radio
Participation is open to all listeners with the exception of serving GRN broadcasters, aux staff and those blacklisted for past indiscretions.
To conclude
Some may ask exactly why we are doing all this.
It's simple really, we've been around for five years now and the last couple of those years haven't exactly been easy for us. We retreated from the forums and kept to ourselves for the most part when the trolling became too much and internal difficulties arose.
With recent changes and a positive new outlook on life we are once again enjoying doing what it is we do and we wanted to thank our regular listeners for their support and donations over the last 62 months and welcome back many of those that may have wandered.
We also wanted to remind the Eve Online community that we are still here and still rockin even if we have been quiet for the last couple of years.
Check out our lineup and hear what our DJ's have to offer. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Have a good festive period Eve Online and we look forward to spoiling you rotten very soon.
Merry Christmas from everyone at Eve Radio

That's correct, for two main reasons.
1) The alerts are controlled by a single person and none of the DJ's will have prior knowledge of when an alert will go off so there can be no future cries of DJ shenanigans.
2) We prefer people to use our site player.

And I'll be there for that show on the 21st as well.
TBH though, I'm kicking myself a bit for being a member of the ER staff, that battleship set looks awfully nice.

This is going to be a fairly informal guest appearance of Navigator on the Grand Draw show, and hopefully (if we can twist his arm *grins*) we'd love him to make the draw of the grand prize of the Faction Battleship Model Set.
Although the channels won't be locked down, don't expect Navigator to answer questions directly from the listenerbase... Any questions passed forward to him (within certain guidelines that have been set down by CCP) will be passed along through the event management - ie Eve Radio DJs and Staff.
We welcome questions to Navigator from the listeners - look out for a thread on the GRN/EVE Radio forums at http://forums.gamingradio.net by the middle of the promo week.
With the prizes available on this one... sometimes I wish I was a still a listener... ;) *grins*
Kind Regards,
DJ BlackLight EVE Radio
