In light of recent indications of CCP's intentions with regard to the future trajectory of EVE Online a lot of people have become very annoyed. This is a wonderful thing, not because EVE players like nothing more than for other EVE players to be annoyed, but because it is only through such high emotions that people can get motivated enough to take action against unacceptable incremental changes to the environment that they value. In order to offer some small further encouragement to the political activism that is blossoming in EVE at the moment, I am offering a 10 billion isk prize fund for the most creative acts of legitimate protest that the community can muster. The prize for the most inventive and effective protest in the next 30 days will be 7.5 billion isk, with a runners-up prize of 2.5 billion. The organiser of the protest should post documentary evidence of their action here and preferably also alert me via eve-mail.
I will lodge the funds with Grendell tomorrow (if he is willing to hold them) and the winner will be picked by a panel of independent judges (not including myself) once the month is up. But please remember that all in-game and meta-game protests must be legal and not go against the rules of the game.
Edit - Three commas added in response to post 5.

Does complaining a lot count?
Cause I got that down.
If no one can beat complaining then complaining a lot will win. Please provide links to your complaints when you make your submission.

I would like to harness the power of both groups: players who want to protest anyway (for whom an additional incentive can't hurt) and the money grubbing lowlifes of the eve universe who will do anything for a buck.

Please stick to legal protests folks. No wickermen filled with CCP employees please.

Personally I don't have a problem with direction, but an event like this is counterproductive to your cause, CCP wont pay any attention to a protest that has a 10bill reward pinned to it, illegitimacy is now questionable for all entrants ffs this is eve.
Protest and resistance are not one dimensional. It is not the case that all impact will be directly on CCP. Rather, the idea is as much to raise awareness of the issues and provide some kernels around which more things can be built. Think of the protests in Tahrir Square: the Egyptian government didn't fall because of the protests on the first day but rather because of the thing that they grew into. I'm trying to offer some stimulus for the first day.

Some great ideas here already. The key for those that are still in the ideas phase is to actually follow through on them, though. Or get someone else to. Or both.
10bil has been deposited with Grendell and he will post here to confirm sometime soon. I have also been pursuing a judging panel and will update on this as soon as I know who is in and who is out.

i have a flight for Reykjavik on the 7th, and i plan to launch a formal complaint, in person, possibly with large cardboards signs.
on that note, does iceland have a freedom of speech thing, can i get in trouble for peaceful picketing?Sorry, i'm just a stuid american, and a arrest in a foreign country is probably bad, you know.
proof of flight.

Some great stuff going on and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the more interesting plans come to fruition.
Thanks to Grendell for holding the prize fund!

Thanks for the submissions! All are valid and some are particularly interesting to me, although I won't be the final judge (still trying to assemble a good panel).

I'm currently drawing up a shortlist. The judging process will begin within a week. New entries are still welcome until the shortlist is finalised.
