I'll do you one better than a few hours at work: Saved me having to cancel my participation in a beer tasting event with free barbeque.

delegate.

Just a quick petition to the devs- once the auction ends tomorrow, would you please publish the total number of plex spent by the community to secure places in the tournament?

Addition is hard.

im a ******* wizard

deal with it

Goons save PLEX by doing lowest bid at the last moment in an auction overseen by a former Goon.

Batphone at it's finest.

im a ******* wizard

deal with it

or we're just better than you

If you want to theorycraft please come with something plausible which people might actually believe.

Nah but seriously. When was this auction held? because I only left after the last auction was over. No wizardy about it. Feels kinda **** as we would have continued to bid, but there's more places up for bids today so whatever. Just think CCP should have auctioned that last slot in the next auction if people had already started leaving.

No one bid on the last one! Might do another auction for a single slot later!

1009 plexes so far

I'm sure HYDRA or Outbreak would happily finish out the last slot.

I got muted for suggesting that

in before the lock,
any word on when we'll get a finished bracket for the bidding teams?

Total should be 1329 I believe. But yes, that's a lot of isk.

Why would you delete the posts that were suggesting giving it to HYDRA or Outbreak?

They were breaking no rules nor were they in any way "inflammatory" or "aggressive".

This moderation is incredible.

You may not agree with the sentiment but that is no reason for deleting them.

I guess this way the "Likes" those posts received are all hidden. I remember seeing them at 6+, oh well.

I don't understand this moderation at all. Could anyone from CCP clarify it?

Why are on topic posts, describing what happened during the auction being silently taken away?

Does CCP have a Night and Fog policy going on?

Lol, people claiming that they didn't take the last spot because "it rightfully belonged to whoever" are full of it. There were just no more alliance executors or team captains present to bid. Everybody who had bid on spots at any point in the auction had gotten theirs already, and alliances like CVA had thought that 40 was gonna be the consistent price and had not shown.

Did you asked them or you are just assuming it is the case?

Im sure that all the people willing to pay 10 plexes for the lottery were just unwilling to pay the same 10 plexes in the auction.

The problem is that they weren't there. Even if they wanted to "leave the last spot out of honour" they could have snagged a spot for dirt cheap in the 5 preceding spots. People would have loved to have bought a spot for 10 plexes, but everybody there that could bid already had a spot. There were literally no eligible bidders.

There were multiple alliance executors there that didnt bid. Maybe you had the channel on recent speakers mode only?

Anyone who seriously believes people refused a 10 plex slot in protest for Hydrabreak really doesn't know the eve community at all.

You are right. The eve community is willing to spend 10 plexes for a chance at being in the AT, but not willing to spend 10 plexes to get into the AT

Top notch question dodging broski. I'll ask again: If all these guys wanted a spot, but refrained out of reverance, why didn't they try for it when it was only 11, or 10, or 15 plex and there was still a spot left for them to leave open?

I would guess they were willing to spend 10 plex and no more.

I was watching the auction, and even though there were people who wanted it, nobody would take the last slot because it rightfully belongs to last year's champions.

You mean the cheaters?

No one sees them as the winners, it'll all anyone talks about in game when they hear about it. They didn't win in battle, they won via scam. which i fully support mind you this is eve. but There was nothing cool about last years finals, gaint let down.

And you think eve players are going to feel bad for them now? hah. It's eve, the sharks are in the water, and hydra isn't that important. Important yes, but not as important as they act after last years final match.

They beat both of the other teams in the semifinals. How did they not win in battle?

lol
Well I would by it, but I'm neither the executor or online for these auctions

Do i have to link the video of the final? They failed hard. If they pulled it off correctly they wouldn't be in hot water. but they didn't pull it off. the end

Much love for Fluffeh Bunneh

In the words of the great Sasha Baron Cohen: NOT!

Remember how nobody cares about that now.

That reminds me of an entirely true story.

There was once a kid my mates and i all took the **** out of at school - he was fat, ginger, possibly had learning difficulties and a propensity for telling outlandish lies. sometimes it felt the only reason we even bothered coming in to school was to take the **** out of him.

One day he held a alliance tournament, and let us join in because we were relevant. we rigged it for lulz and rubbed it in his face. What the hell was he going to do to us? he was a fat ginger ******.

Next year he ran a tournament and let us join in again. We decided to take the **** out of him again because it was hilarious he kept letting us. Unfortunately we held a secret meeting in his treehouse to discuss ******* him over - he saw us (possibly because it was his treehouse and it was in his garden) and didn't let us join in, so we cried endlessly about it and told everybody we met how horrible and unfair it was, and how terribly hurt our feelings were, and how we were too relevant not to be part of the fun.

People paid lip-service to us, they commiserated and promised never to forget how shoddily the fat ginger bast had treated us, but secretly they couldn't give a flying ****. Not because we cheated, not because they held any particular opinion about us, but because our procrastination and faux-outrage were a bit whiny.

true story.

Why was my post deleted again? Is linking to eve-search now against the rules?

If so, here it is: http://i.imgur.com/GLMFQ.png

So many posts deleted. Leeloo's thread went from 25 pages to 15.

Confirming we live in Provi and can thus only afford the pauper's slot in the auction house
