Edited by: Kara Sharalien on 14/03/2011 23:45:06 Plex for Haiti and Pakistan were a runaway success, and people suggested that Plex for australia should be run after the catastrophic floods and hurricanes that just finished raping the **** out of the entire eastern third of Australia.
This was dismissed on the basis that Australia was a MEDC (first world country) that could pay for its own disasters.
Japan isn't?

When Australia gets hit by a 8.9/9.1 (depending on who you believe) megaquake, has 3 reactors go bye bye thus rendering what I would imagine is a serious chunk of their energy gone, and moves the country by a couple of meters thereby causing the earth's orbit to shift, i'll be the first to post a Plex for Australia thread. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Given that you apparently have knowledge about the details of the decision making in the australian case you should tell us. --

Haiti lost no reactors, and didn't cause the planet to shift. Waste of money?

By donating PLEX to Japan we are ensuring the continuing production of strategically vital supplies, which, I am sure everyone is aware of, are pretty much only produced in Japan.

CCP goes into the back room where there is a big map on the floor, they group around the map and let a chicken loose, whichever country the chicken craps on gets PLEX charity

Let's check the facts why wont we? It's ****ty even if just one person die but it may be the difference between if it's necessary to send help from other countries or not.
Haiti 2010 - 200,000+ Pakistan 2010 - 1,400 Australia 2011 - 10 New Zealand 2011 - 75 Japan 2011 - 10,000+

This?
I mean what the hell, why isn't anyone raising plex for the US after Katrina and Rita DP'd the south? (Which they are still recovering from)
It has to do with resources and damage. Japan was just ***** slapped by mother nature plain and simple. Earthquake, Tsunami, and now their reactors are on fire. Australia? Pick up the damn mess and move on, places flood all the time.

Now it happens what must happen.
Once you start such action everybody expect you do it the next time too.
And then you run into the question: when should it happen and when not?
As noble the idear was from CCP it was still stupid! CCP, you are a GAMING company without any expirence in aid-buisiness. Let this job do the Red Cross or covertments. Maybe even the churches. Let it do the people who do it for many hundret years. Plus you do NOT help this old institus like Red Cross when you start to do THEIR job.
It's simple, when to many ask for gifts in the end noone will get gifts as people get tiered of all this bagging!

If i remember correctly, pretty much every country on Earth and countless corporations were trying to send aid to New Orleans, but Bush turned it all down and instead had everyone wait for FEMA planes which flew around aimlessly for a week or two before finally arriving there.

I think CCP should just simply ask if folks want to donate money to one of the helpful agencies like the International Red Cross. This way gamers/users can donate whenever they feel like it and it wont be applied to certain events. ________________ Poor is the nation that has no heroes.

Had you read the dev blog you would know that this is exactly what happens if you donate outside of "relief campaigns".

Damn! I knew I forgot something.
Anyways - CCP shouldn't have "relief campaigns". Now people are trying to determine the rules of the campaigns as what qualifies and what doesn't. ________________ Poor is the nation that has no heroes. Shameful is the one that, having heroes - Forgets them!

Ummm yea wrong figures.
New Zealand in 2011 is above 175 not 75 - and 20b in damage from 2 quakes in 6 months.

Where did you get the 10k+ figure from for Japan? I know it could possibly hit that number but its only been reported as 2k confirmed.
While alot of us do feel bad for those in Australia who where effected however it shouldn't warrant a plex drive. Honestly if a plex drive goes on for every disaster then it will lose its meaning and alot will stop contributing to it. Which will cause a bad turnout for those countries like Haiti and Japan that was hit REALLY bad. Granted in Japans case they are in a sense good in the long run financially but its the short term that they are needed help.

I live in Tokyo and follow the local news channels...
Confirmed dead and missing was at 4700 yesterday, about 50/50 of each. That number might seem low, but it's a count of people they have the bodies of, and people who have been reported as confirmed to be missing.
In _addition_ to that number there is a large number of people who is suspected of being dead but not officially registered, like half the population of minami-sanriku. (17k population, 9-10k missing) So the guesstimate lies at between 15k and 20k dead, not 2k.

International headlines = visibility.
Give money to international disasters = visibility
Give money to "who? What? where?" = less visibility, but more visibility for the "problem" thus increasing the international headlines barrier from 0,0000....00001% to 0.0000....02%. Which would mean in after 1000000000x firms doing the same...it might, just might make it CNN and thus coming to the first row. Or just give the money to the most hottest international headline and automatic fame. So hard to choose.

Dodgy question alert:
How do we know that the plex given were actually given to these countries as donations by CCP?
Has anyone seen any proof?
Or is just a trust thing.....in EVE
Again Ill say TRUST in EVE ONLINE.
