Dear CCP,
We here the undersigned to hereby petition you to hire John Rourke to make Clear Skies III with proper support and tools. We ask this for the following reasons :
1. Many existing players have subscribed to Eve after watching Clear Skies I.
2. Many more will join after watching the newly released clear skies II.
3. The loyal players of Eve have responded overwhelmingly to the concept of the Clear Skies, ie a little mini TV series, and love and thank the work by all those who contributed.
4. WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!
5. If Mr Rourke had proper tools imagine the quality he could deliver.
6. All the new subscriptions from this will move than cover a generous salary for the man.
7. WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!
For those that know a bit about Star Trek history after the original series was canceled after three seasons it was loyal, vocal fans who through shear tenacity showed the studio bosses there was a demand for more. Their unity brought us Star Trek the Movie and then all the rest.
This I say to you all. Sign this petition. Through our voice, a united voice shall we wear down CCP, we shall march on their doors in droves. Our united cries of "Clear Skies III" shall ring asunder their ears. So loud will our cry be John Rourke shall once again do battle in glorious scenes.
* continues ranting for a while *

However, I imagine a clear skies of that quality might takes over a year + to make.

anyone bothered to actually ask the man if he would want a job (or contract) with CCP? Still, if he does, then he has my support 
/edit i fully support the distribution of the camera dev tools used to create Day of Darkness II, either as an optional download, or mabey as part of the sisi client. Either way, it needs to happen

I think Clear Skies wouldnt be Clear Skies if they upgraded it with better software.
I love the fact that its been done with valve hammer in the crew/ in ship sequences and as someone who uses Hammer, you have to pay respect to the man for that!
If they were to let him use their software I think it should only really be used for any ship battle sequences

It would be nice to have some EVE related models imported into HL2... I believe I saw the shuttle in the game which was pretty cool. It would be nice to have some eve characters in there but since there are no fully modeled chars in eve it would mean making it from scratch, which would take additional effort and skills.

Wouldn't usually do this, but yes, signed. I was just discussing this with Entity:
How about EVE as the first MMOG with a player-written but developer-sponsored drama about it? If John and his merry band managed to maintain.. oh, I don't know, 50% of the current quality, it'd be a great ad for the game.
Perhaps he doesn't want to take himself away from his current real life, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to persuade him ;)

Technically, I'm sure he could do a fine job. But creatively, Clear Skies is as close to the EVE universe as Star Trek.
I would rather they release better tools than reel in everyone who bothered devoting that sort of time and effort. That way, it gives everyone a chance to share their interpretation on similar terms.

This is not a flame post (but I'm sure the next 5 will be), but would you care to explain why you think so? The only real thing I can come up with is that the characters are not in pods, and I think its established canon that only a fraction of space captains are swimming in goo.

i wonder, did OP even bother to ask john if he was interested in a job at CCP?
its all very well to make a pointless internet petition (they totally work guys), but its unlikely he would even want such a job.
CCP has two offices, IIRC. that means that 99.999999999% of people would need to move to a different state and probably a different country in order to work for ccp. odds are that John is one of these people.
.....ive run out of ways to express how dumb this thread seems to me

I can safely say that John will be overwhelmed by all the support you are giving him an massively relived that you all loved it so much. But im pretty sure that he wants his life back for at least a while before doing anything.
As for weather or not CCP should hire him, i don't know if it would suit him or not , thats a choice that John would need to make. But i support the idea of giving him the opportunity !!

The lack of capsules is the most obvious, but there are quite a few others.
- A Tempest being piloted by only 3 crew where it is stated that BS crews number in at least the hundreds.
- Significant portions of the combat and combat mechanics deviate from Eve's own. (Entirely forgivable, as a realistic portrayal would make for far less dramatic action. For example; instead of a heroic gate charge, you'd have a single cloaked ship sneaking through the bubble and jumping through. Assuming of course, they didn't already have a jammer in possession, which they of course, would have.)
- As another example of creative liberties being taken with mechanics (and there are quite a few, so I'll leave them at these two), it is for some unspecified reason, not possible to fit hull, armor and shield repairers to repair a ship. It appears that CS happens in a world with only station-side repairs.
- The notion that a stargate can be shut down in the circumstances it was (CS1) borders on deus ex machina, considering there are very few examples of this in established canon and in those moments, it is only the universe's most powerful factions that have this capability (CONCORD and the Jove are the two I'm thinking of, but perhaps there have been other instances).
- The entire "Pure Gallente" story plot is, whilst admittedly plausible, a bit "thin" and is there to serve more as a plot device, than an actual plot.
- The actions and behavior of the Caldari Navy are not at all realistic. They would kill that Titan with ease (particularly if it was in such a weakened state). They would likely never let it into the system in the first place, however. The story plays upon the Malkalen incident, but that was only possible through a unique set of circumstances that made the Caldari vulnerable in a way that would likely never be repeated.
- Tempests can make Avatars explode by docking with their rear thrusters!
I could go on. But there is no point. Clear Skies is clearly not intended to be an accurate portrayal of New Eden and as a result, often contrives up plot devices that make for a dramatic story, but do not mesh with the established world. Anyone foolish enough to bash it for not meshing with the established canon though, is missing the fairly obvious point that it never tried to. Fortunately, I've not seen much of that except from the most diehard roleplay folk. 
For the record, I think both episodes were fantastic and I'm a huge fan. I put aside the storyline inconsistencies when I watch, and honestly, I just don't think you could tell the same enthralling story as easily if you had things like realism and internal consistency to worry about. The challenge was already large enough, I would imagine, and the storyline still manages to engage us all and bring forth gushing praise, so I can only consider that it succeeds, despite its flaws. I think you have to applaud Clear Skies for what it is, as opposed to lamenting it for what it's not.

The inherent problem with commercializing something like this is as follows:
Any time any corporate entity gets their hands on stuff like this, it ceases being a labor of love and becomes srs bsns.
Once someone besides the original creator starts dumping money on projects like this, they start wanting a say in what comes out of it. A little tweak here, a nudge there, and suddenly this great idea you once had is no longer really yours.
I for one am perfectly content with JR and company making Clear Skies the way they are. I think a big part of it's draw is that it's honest art, without any corporate mug trying to muck it up and commercialize it.
Sure, it'd be nice to get more episodes, but at what price? (and I'm not referring to just money)

I'm fine with a Tempest killing a Titan. After all, an Abaddon can DD a Leviathan, so this is actually a stretch more believable
Clear Skies II is very fun to watch, highly entertaining. I don't think it needs to stick to canon to accomplish what it sets out to do. Day of Darkness brought Eve's history to life, the team behind it should receive similar accolades as well.

Thanks for sparing me the effort. This is exactly it, and even the rpers would probably shut up if the movies focused more on comedy and satire instead of drama.
Any attempt to tell a coherent story is going to be riddled with faults that prevent it from becoming an extension to the EVE universe. Even Day of Darkness II, which comes closest to being a 1:1 representation has a long way to go.
The closest players will ever be able to do is capture the essence of EVE in an artistic way. Some of the early corporate promos and advertisement videos do this, and for that reason they stand the test of time. I can pull up NSN or BIG's recruitment videos and it puts the game into context better than most of the stuff posted today.

Support.
not for ccp hiring john rourke, that's up to the man, but he has completed a tremendous job and would probably be in hign demand by eve populace (the part that bothers to visit forums anyway).
But for a EVE-world based series. Would be awesome.

PS: If somehow this idea gets realised, for the love of god, don't stick to the game mechanics. If the poplace wanted to see game mechanices in action, they'd just need to DL any of damige's / cown's movies.

Ideally it would be the best for CCP to just release toolsets to make these movies for everyone. In regards to JR just offering him cash so he can be creative on his own terms (consider it an investment).
However, to gather the OP thoughts on this thread. A great deal of us in the EVE community enjoyed Clear Skies immensely and it has become quite a hit on forums reporting EVE content and even some gaming magazines. I think we all share the OPs intentions we would like to see CCP offer him something for his work in this movie series.
Perhaps EVE lifetime subscription or offering to pay for all expenses at EVE Fanfest. Gift Of Tempest class BS model from the stores. ANYTHING just to show CCP want to support JR.

Provided he's got nothing in general against working for CCP, he could start a fresh show instead of continuing the Clear Skies storyline, which wouldn't leave him or anyone else with the impression of bastardizing what he's already achieved.
Yea, he'd be their ***** from then on, but if he was a good ***** everyone would gain from it and he might learn to enjoy it.
It puts the lotion on the skin!
Besides, it would give the WiS assets some meaningful use outside of being EVE's personal Ironforge (ref: WoW hellhole).

To all those that asked if the OP, ie Me, asked if I had spoken to John Rourke if he wanted to work for CCP the answer is no. It has nothing to do with that. The point of this useless internet petition is to tell CCP that something like Clear Skies would be a massive hit.
For all those who posted about inconsistencies from story line to game content I donÆt know the reasons why John put it together the way he did. I am sure he will have posted his reasons somewhere but my thoughts are ôWho Caresö.
The point of this thread is simply to rally the community a bit to show CCP that a mini-series like this would be well accepted.
Take this thread for what it is. A bit of fun and another way to say thanks to the John RourkeÆs of the community for their efforts.

What John Rourke wants, John Rourke should get from CCP--if they will allow him creative control. Too many chefs spoil the soup. Simply stock the kitchen for this genius and let him cook!

Fer crissakes, with all the money in Hollywood, why don't we just petition George Lucas to hire him? CCP has got enough on their plate already, don't ya think?
Given the non-consensual colonic love Lucas has given us with Ep.I-III, that would be a HELL NO.
Just threw out Lucas as a recognizable name. Heck, anybody can cut a deal to take care of the copyright stuff, a cross-over of MMORPG and the big screen is bound to happen, and Sci-Fi has a rabid fan base.
I'd certainly like to see more of Mr. Rourke's work, and can't imagine the effort it must've taken to pull off CS I and II, so I'm in awe.

Hint-hint! CCP release that cinematic tool you use. Free advertising! FREE! And in ridiculous quantities!

has someone put it on youtube yet , with torrent i get 2KB a second and i dont fancy staying up almost 2 days to download it ='(
Sounds like you are behind a NAT enabled router. The problem is that you can only make connections yourself, and can not receive any incoming connections. You can fix this by configure your router to forward the ports that your bit torrent client uses to your computer. However, this DOES create a small security risk for you.

I can safely say that John will be overwhelmed by all the support you are giving him an massively relived that you all loved it so much. But im pretty sure that he wants his life back for at least a while before doing anything.
After being in corp with John on and off for the past year and a half i would say this is probably the only thing that needs to be considered at this point. He's spent such a long time working on this project that he hasn't really had a whole lot of time to actually PLAY eve and i'm sure he would like to get back to it.
As the mighty Chribba said, you guys can show John your support by sending him lots of lovely isk. (and voting for the awards this year if he is nominated)

I'm sure they'll make a third one when an idea strikes, until then, I'd say give the poor cast some time to themselves.
After all, demand is great and all, but at the end of the day without a good script and motivation, any project is doomed to mediocrity. I'm sure none of us want that to happen to CS.

For that level of access, you would have to bribe the Gatekeeper...which would be me.

What they need to do is let him run with Clear Skies and do whatever he wants with it. Why not make Clear Skies into a full blown machinima like Red vs. Blue? I would KILL for a DVD of Clear Skies, bloopers, and behind-the-scenes footage (same with Day of Darkness). They should allow John Rourke to take the amazing videos that he has created and do whatever he wants with them. For the first two episodes he will probably also have to talk to Valve about it too, but hopefully when WiS comes out he can use EVE entirely and eliminate the need for Garry's Mod.
