wahoooooooooooooo!
 Got 2 coercers which was great for me as my skill limit was Omen class and I missed them.
It took a little while to work out out how best to approach the overview to get the best chance of boarding a ship. And alot of people were confused by not being able to see the dropped ship (lag excluded) and I suspect this was due to bad overview configuration. So below is a brief of how I approached this problem;
1. get to the event.
2. set the overview settings to 'see all'.
3. systemmatically go through items on the overveiw which are NOT ships and right click to remove them from the overview.
4. This includes the numerous capsules that are buzzing around.
5. All you should be left with are ships [ ] in the icon column.
6. Set the type columm to alpabetical list a-z.
7. Close all other game windows to reduce lag and game infomation requirements.
Now when Maruu gives notice of dropping a ship all you have to do is watch the list in the area of say 'o' if it's an Omen or 'b' if it's a Brutix.
Simples.
I have to say I was surprised how few people there were which of course was great for the rest of us. Even only being able to fly the smaller ships, it never got boring waiting for them and the banter and atmosphere was scoooby scoooby doo.
Though an odd thing did happen and I'm still confused about it. 'GD's Follower' presented a challenge and I ?won?, though when I got there, there was an explosion. I'm still none the wiser as to what actually happened but hey he did say a he would give me a ship for winning his game/dare/challenge. We'll see if he is good to his word. I'll update if he is. I have mailed him, but he seems not to be on since, might have something to do with picking up a sudden fall in security status at the event, I just don't know. 
After the give-a-away there were some good antics and games, superbly presented by Julius, who's net connection seems to have negative lag time lol.
So, in all, if your not doing anything next event time, come along, it's fun. |

I can't thank you enough Maruu.  Not only was the ship giveaway a lot of fun, but it was tremendously valuable to me as a relatively new player. During this giveaway I was fortunate to board the following:
2x Thorax
2x Tristan
1x Catalyst
1x Incursus
1x Thrasher
Thank you for your generosity. |

Thanks for that event Maruu, I managed to get :
1 Tristan, 1 Ruture, 1 Thorax, 1 Caracal, 1 Thrasher, and I got the most laughs from scoring an executioner from Julius as he jumped into a Myrmidon ahead of me.

when you say 7pm Central, do you mean Central European Time, or some odd time in the US, as that I am in England, and if it is GMT-7, then it would be 2 in the morning for me, and I have to work on Sunday |

That should show US Central time, which is the time zone I'm assuming Maruu is referring to.

If its the same time as last time, which I think it is, then its midnight UK time, which isnt so bad, however last time I got to bed at somewhere around 4.30am as it goes on for a fair while - and you lost track of time a bit. On the plus side I got up at 7am to get to work.

I got RSI, but I also got shiny new Abaddon!
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that a fun evening of frantic clicking was had by all.
Point of note for all newbies attending the next event...
When a guy in a Ferox 40km from the station says he wants a big mass of pods around him, then he's going to eject from his ship...well, what you have there is a guy looking to collect an awesome killmail.
Remember: Don't take ships from strangers, follow the Orca. Choose Maruu's Orca for that real free frigate flavour.

That was damn fine fun, I got a couple Cat's out of it, made my day. Only thing that sucked was I had to get up out of my nice warm bed at *cringe* 8am on a Sunday morning.
Looking forward to the next one.

Massive turnout this time, seriously there was 500-600 people in the system almost all of which were outside the station in pods/shuttles.
Couple of harbies, a drake and a couple of cruisers, sold for about 120m for an hours 'work' (if lulz is work that is...) before I fell asleep
Few screenies:
The Anthill
Bait Ball :D
Therion's fireworks. (Read the local :D)
Edit: Featuring Aargh in local, who got himself an abaddon |

Thanks a lot Maruu! Got a Thorax and a Retriever. I think this is wonderful what you are doing and could be a huge help to those you are just getting started in the game. Keep up the outstanding work!

I only got a couple of Thoraxes before I gave up this time (contrary to what people were screaming in local)
I want to say I had fun, but in truth the lag was a little frustrating. Maruu is of course not at fault.
I hope next time will have some more forgiving conditions!

Yes many, many thanks Maruu, I got one of the last two myrmidons last saturday and am so happy with it. I just started the game and didn't have the money to buy the ship myself. So it's a big help. Thanks again for doing such a wonderful thing, just makes me love eve that much more.
