Should it be a good thing or a bad thing?

A facebook message directing to a one sided propaganda youtube video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNn3GDBLyFc

I think its realy on the edge. Will this be the final signal that ccp employees have too much influence in a certain 0.0 alliance (that also coincidently hold vast amount of horrible unbalanced tech moons?)

Free PR, best PR.

Gas thread and ban OP.

This looks like a rumour to me, and it's against forum rules

Maybe if SoCo made propaganda that made people excited instead of embarrassed CCP would use that to get themselves ~free~ exposure.

And maybe pigs will fly out of my ass.

That video was well done...

No it's called appreciating the creativity and awesomeness that the community has.

Surely we have not forgotten what was revealed on March 28th 2012 have we ?

TEST dudes usually make great videos, I have watched several of them. This one is kind of mild in propaganda: SoCo is not bashed that hard, instead all the alliances fighting on that side are nicely presented in the end of the video, making it more interesting. This is the kind of video that may even get the attention of those people who have never heard of EVE, or who have thought about trying it. 50,000 characters fighting over a region? Man, that's something.

CCP would be silly if they never promoted this video. I bet if one of the SoCo alliances made a great video like this, it would be promoted too, just because of its artistic value.

Forgotten? No. Moved on with our lives? Yes.

In the here and now we have what's shaping up to be (by some estimates) the largest multiplayer conflict in video game history. Only EVE is capable of hosting game play on such a massive and complex scale. The Mittani is but one of many figures in this conflict and he has a decentralized role. The Fanfest scandal and the FW LP Scandal have nothing to do with this.

Video should have shown a total break down in number of pilots on each side.

I would like to know myself. I think the numbers are fairly even in characters, active accounts hard to say.

But in any case, morale is the thing, and we'll see how well stuff turns out, if there's a rout, failcascade, "didn't want that XXYY anyway" or a hardcore meatgrinder.

Or, you know, PL dropping titans on things. Oh maybe I should fit a cyno on ... will it go on my scorpion? Just in case, you know, the FC wants to batphone a supercapital fleet.

Maybe SoCo would get more publicity if they actually undocked for once...

Well how many you have fighting them right now? If it is 500 vs. 500 and they don't undock, well that is just sad. If it is 1000 CFC+HB vs. 50 SoCo... well, do you blame them?

What about when theres 200 CFC+HB, and 500 SoCo? Or did we bring too many dudes again?

See, this is why CCP dreads involving themselves in the first place. There's always some yutz crying favoritism.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure thats the definition of favoritism. They're not involving themselves in anything I do.

I really try to keep it real both in terms of PR and Social Media, but surely this is exactly the sort of player action that I should be promoting, I mean, right?!

***********

CCP crossed the line of impartiality a long time ago... that is the reason that my response to their invitation to answer the annual survey was to thrown it in the waste basket as soon as it hit my inbox.

I did however take the time to respond to them via the email address they provided to once again tell them how poorly designed the resource "game" in EVE was regarding the notion of evolving challenging groups who compete over the control of Zero. I also repeated that they cater to groups like the Goons entirely too much... much to the detriment of their game, which inhibits player retention and subscriber growth.

I have only remained in EVE (at the expense of whoever it is that has paid for my PLEX by their isk that I screwed them out of) to see if CCP will ever actually make a "game" out of EVE worth playing. If they did, I would actually be willing to pay for that in cash. As it stands now, I spend my money on other online games.

Am I negative? No... I'm positive !
EVE is CRAP in it's current state !

Thank you for not voicing your opinion on the state of things in the anonymous survey. Now we can get to stuffing it and forcing everyone into nullsec.

Not sure what you mean by that... but if you are implying that you are going to "force" me into Null... you are too late... I've been in Null for years. I spend half my time in null screwing Alliance members out of their isk on the markets to pay for my PLEX. My complaints have nothing to do with the HighSec vs Null arguements. It has to do with the CRAP resource distributions that CCP has failed to balance in such a way as to foster the development of COMPETING Null Factions... NOT THE MAINTENANCE OF BORING ANCIENT REGIMES POURED IN CONCRETE. You know what they say about the entertainment value of watching concrete or paint dry !! Then again, I guess CCP doesn't know.

Repeating what I wrote...

" I did however take the time to respond to them via the email address they provided to once again tell them how poorly designed the resource "game" in EVE was regarding the notion of evolving challenging groups who compete over the control of Zero.

Now you know why your ex left you... YOU DON"T LISTEN. A problem you have in common with CCP.

You can't blame any one, it's the game, you want to limit your losses and kill the most possible so every tactic is fair, who was the silly one ever thought war was for gentlemen?

Forgotten? No. Moved on with our lives? Yes.

I think you're missing the part where they refuse to fight when they outnumber us at least two to one.
Maybe it's because they know they'll still lose.

I'm being told they don't fight when they have spies telling them you guys have four times the numbers on standby ready to cyno in. Who would fight in those circumstances anyways?

Anyways, the largest war in online gaming over in a few days if you are receiving zero resistance?

This doesn't seem likely. What i would find very likely is that they are just afraid to undock because they think we have all those forces ready to jump in at a moments notice.

Keep them guessing you see.. eventually hopefully we will get a decent fight as this is their very home, this is where they live, if they lose this they evac to lowsec or become someone else's pet, thus losing their very identity.

I've seen goons be a pet a few times during this game, did you lose your very identity as well?

No sir, our culture and identity comes from an out of game source.

Maybe -A- does as well? Where do they come from?

Aaaaaaaand there goes Eve Online in the news again:

http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/29/tens-of-thousands-of-eve-pilots-fight-over-a-single-star-system/

"possibly the largest multiplayer war in gaming history"

And yet again, it's Goons / TEST causing this free EVE publicity.

Come to think of it, has EVE been in the news this year, at all, without the CFC being involved?

It is I, the mighty decider of Facebook/Twitter/G+ content!

This pretty much nails it. Just an awesome video. I try to highlight each well done/funny/etc etc video. If you have one that's amazing, please send it to me @CCP_Manifest or evemail.

Glad to see mention of the EVE article. There should be several going out. That's me emailing press contacts saying... check out what our players are brewing. 100% them. The videos they make are awesome etc etc. In this case I paired it with an announcement of the AT X starting.

I really try to keep it real both in terms of PR and Social Media, but surely this is exactly the sort of player action that I should be promoting, I mean, right?!

If one were motivated enough, they could try and pull a conspiracy out of that.

Explain to me how the resource game was designed to favor Goons. Cause when the moon rebalance happened almost all the valuable moons were taken away from Delve, where Goons lived at the time.

I just ignored your comment about the "resource game" because it's the same argument I hear from people who don't actually know anything.

So you claim that goons were not living in deklein when they punished bob & took delve space away from them.... serious... if you dont have knowlage from a subject dont talk about it, expecialy if your wrong..... your rly making a fool out of yourselve trololol

Just glanced through replies, and seeing alot of people suggested it is because of a 'good' video.

I'm not sure if we're watching the same thing. This is quite a horrible video from several perspectives:
* Footage is quite decent, but editing nothing special at all (just text updates in bottom right, wow, great, you learned something special there)
* Music has been used in way too many videos to make way too average footage look way too epic, -1/10..
* All the hypocrisy, poor grammar and frankly, stupid comments. Starting movie with "we just wanted good fights" and then the video shows a blob of people. Yah really, blobs just lag it out versus blobs, if you want good fight you don't blob, that's step one. And when you bring a blob, obviously a blob will defend their stuff as you are a threat. I know I'm posting obvious **** here, but this is on a kindergarten level so you have to point obvious things out.. the kids seems to not get this.

I would probably never have bothered finish watching this vid even, if it wasn't for this thread. It's dull, bad, and almost every comment in the whole video is either stupid or unintelligible.

I'll have to give the creators some credit tho, for wasting decent footage by filling it with nonsense content. That's quite impressive.

You sound jealous.

But if you can't appreciate a well-done propaganda video..., then something may be wrong with you.

Should it be a good thing or a bad thing?

You can hate Goonswarm and Honeybadgers or Test if you like

But if you can't appreciate a well-done propaganda video made for a game that we all spend way too much time obsessing about, then something may be wrong with you.

Furthermore, the new technetium bottleneck was unintended, so any suggestion that it was designed to benefit anyone in particularly is automatically invalid based on that alone, the ridiculousness of conspiracy theories aside.

Also, reported for conspiracy trolling. Enjoy your forum vacation.

Tho i absolute dispise for what you goons as a alliance stands for you are 200% right there
