:) Hello All!
On the 23rd of this month, the 6th annual Galactic Giveaway will be taking place in-game.
Here's how it works:
When I'm ready to start, I'll be announcing in the Help channel (in game) and in this thread, the system that I have picked this year for the event.
When you get there you say hello to the folks in local, dock up, and I'll give you holiday gifties!
The gifties come in all shapes and sizes, but I try to keep them within your race.
Please please PLEASE be patient when waiting for gifties.. last year we had a few people who got a bit bent out of shape because they'd been waiting a long time.. but everyone ended up with stuff!
I'm doing this 'solo', so figuring out who gets what, and what they get takes some time.
Everyone gets something! I've got frigs, destroyers, and cruisers of all races.. fully fit, loaded and ready to fly! For special prizes I've got battle cruisers, battleships, T2 ships, and faction gear. You might end up with a cruiser, or just a frig (fully fit and loaded, of course), but you will get something.. and, as always, it's FREE.
The special 'grand' prize this year is a fully T2 fit Command ship, with ALL the trimmings.. and, just in case you don't have the skills to fly one yet, every single skill required to fly the ship, use the guns, use the fittings and activate the command modules are safely tucked away in the cargo hold. T2 ammo and drones are also included.
There will be drawings throughout the night for other special gifts, however you must be IN THE SYSTEM when the drawing takes place to be eligible to win.
There is NO COST to take part in the fun. I wont ask you to join a corp, bring a gift, or anything else like that. Just show up - your participation is payment enough!
Between now and the 23rd, I'll periodically return to this thread to answer any questions that might show up.
Last year's event was fantastic, with around 400 pilots showing up. Each year it gets bigger, and the conga-line of ships going around the station gets longer.
So come one, come all, have fun and have a great holiday!
Happy Holidays!
Holiday Spirit
P.S.
In previous years, some of you were sneaky and used your locator agents to find me and the event location before I announced it.. and when I logged into the system there were a few of you already waving at me in local. Just like last year, it wont work this year (I'm hiding)! I'm going to stay away from the actual location of the event until just before it begins.
Here is a link to last year's thread:

I've never attended a Galactic Giveaway but I'm excited to attend this one. It sounds like a fantastic idea and it truly gets people in the holiday spirit. It's nice to know that there are still nice people in Eve. I'll see you all there. o/

PS: If you need some help, i can lend a helping hand on D-Day.
It's a gift, man. You don't get to pick your gift. That's kinda rude =\
We'll all get whatever we get, and be thankful for it.

Can I just ask for time zone clarification? If your on GMT/Eve time then I can just be awake between midnight and midnight. If your on +6 I'll need to be awake 6am to 6am. (I'm GMT btw).

Oh, that really sounds like a nice idea. I will certainly try to join. Will it be at a certain (eve)time of the day? I ask because living at GMT-10 hours is usually not getting along too well with the schedules of bigger events.
@amarr mod: Since the first post mentions a 0.6 system we can exclude Jita from the list.

I've heard Umokka got raided by Sansha Nation some time ago. Maybe he is bringing some hope to that system who knows ;) (0.6 Caldari space - just saying you know.. )
Oh and as Dagoth already asked any planned schedule for the event? For example: Will it take place before or after the daily maintenance?

Is this an all day thing or just for a couple of hours? I'm working quite a bit of overtime this week and I won't get home until about 00.00 game time.
