21. EVE fiction contest - 59 bil ISK prizes - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
I don't like that conflict of interest stuff, but this sort of thing just doesn't happen without people taking initiative and pitching in. If its the acceptable norm for participants to contribute, ill pitch in as well. 1 plex to the cause Thou...

22. How to interpret contest rules when they forbid breaking the laws of EVE science - in EVE Fiction [original thread]
Well my worry was someone reading this stuff and taking it the wrong way if it is not explained fully. I mentioned the time travel because its the only criticism I have really had for one of my lore tidbits. Its just the arguments are great and e...

23. Sticky:A review of player giveaways with CCP and third party sites - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
I see CCP pursuing audiences and revenue down many avenues at once: Dust 514, EVE online, and of course SOMER. It would be nice to see them pick up a magazine for online publication and diversify away from the lottery sites. I am not going to mora...

24. CCP directly and secretly gifted SOMER Blink 30 Ishukone Scorpions (~450 billion... - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]

25. CCP directly and secretly gifted SOMER Blink 30 Ishukone Scorpions (~450 billion... - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]

I imagine this is the sort of thing that would have gone down at a staff meeting. Its not some shady back dealing of a few CCP guys of course. I myself believe 1. that I can't have any expectation to be privy to the internal workings of CCP (fat c...

34. How to interpret contest rules when they forbid breaking the laws of EVE science - in EVE Fiction [original thread]
Obviously, inventing time-travel is a no-no. And inventing an obscure gadget, that is specially customized, to do something established in the lore seems an obvious thing that would be ok to write about. But what about grey areas? Can my Character...
