tl;dr

It must be cold in Iceland

I have been conducting research on how the poor give more of their discretionary income to charity than the rich do.

The hypothesis goes that those that have done it hard are more likely to be empathetic to others doing it hard and do what they can to alleviate that hurt.

It's also well known that the rich and comfortable tend to be more harsh, less forgiving and have less empathy simply because they do not understand how the "others" live.

Yes, it's a generalisation and there are, of course, exceptions to the rule but I think you, the reader, understand the tone.

On this premise I make the following assertation.

Eve's universe is meant to be a cold, harsh and dark place, and judging by the clips I see on Youtube, it's the absolute antithesis of the environment the devs worked under. They're warm and friendly and it would appear that their work lives are made up of nice things.

There is without question, a correlation in the creation of the complete opposite of the universe they live in to the universe they create.

The softness, the pleasing and delightful atmosphere Eve was created under, provided the impetus for a cold stark and unrepenting Eve. A beautiful thing.

BUT WAIT!!!

CCP got all serious. They went from reckless coders with a dream to an actual, accountant-operated business. They became, to some extent perhaps, the opposite of what they wanted to be. With economic pressures, shareholder backlash, some poor media coverage, CCP and it's employees have been doing it hard.

And voila, in direct proportion to the research mentioned before, Eve started trending to a softness with a blunted edge.

Cold has become chilly, dark has become twilight and harsh has become difficult. HTFU has become Please HTFU. Eve's harshness is being nullified, mollified and mediocritized.


What can we do?

Make CCP HQ a BETTER place to be again and the devs will bring Eve back on track to the cold, harsh universe it should be.

We need to do what we can to help CCP STFU

Some ideas...
1) Provide the devs with more beer, vodka, loose women (or men?) and cookies.
2) Helmar needs to get a pay cut - and a better haircut.
3) Senior management are demoted to tea-ladies and made to walk on their hands while carrying the tea.
4) Turn the air-conditioning up a notch, get the staff wearing swimming trunks and hoola skirts.
5) Let the graphics department use PC's if they want. Mac's are not neccessary to draw pictures!


Eve NEEDS YOUR HELP. Put your idea below to make CCP STFU.


(I will draft a report based on your recommendations, titled "STFU CCP!" to the CCP CEO by COB, Friday with CC to senior management and shareholders.)

PLEASE HELP. Save YOUR Eve.

What's the point, it would appear you can't read anyway.

I do apologize. It looks longer than it should because I used paragraphing.

Our aircon is quite capable of alternating between finger-numbing and PC-overheating by itself. It doesn't need more encouragement!

Depends whose gonna be wearing the hoola skirts.

Whale thread

*who's

*you're

Who's a troll; you're a troll! ..now get out.

..besides, I've seen four of your posts and it started off with you calling something gay and stupid. Go figure, coming from a male toon named Tweety Bird, that presents a stuck up air of snobbish eliteness in his pose.

Bah.. whatever. This thread is weird, and I say that because the OP actually seems serious.

I used to be empathetic; now I'm just empathic. I don't feel sorry for most people; the world beat that out of me. I do feel a certain bitterness and cynical apathy, and I sometimes feel like taking over the world and punishing the rich and powerful for their ambivalence, greed, and avarice.

Otherwise no, I don't feel particularly compassionate anymore, even though I came up 'hard'.

*your

Are we suppose to donate money to this thread and the OP?

i endorse this action

I endorse providing moar beer for CCP, also chocolate, cookies and fish that isn't rotten I don't endorse trolls however, so if that is what you want to do I know of a few bridges you could hide under

Lets stay on topic in future please, thank you - ISD Type40.

Y U No want us to have loose women and men!

OP, you made me chortle. Good job.

UMADBRO?

See you at next fanfest with a beer and cookies?

UMADBRO?

Err, cough. S = Soften.... (before someone else says it)

I'm in full support of replacing coffee makers with a bottle of vodka. Also, they'll need to replace the water cooler with a keg of beer. Drunk Devs = fun Devs, fun Devs = awesome EVE!


What about beer and sweet Maple Syrup?

This guy. This guy gets it.

I support this product and/or service. Also it makes me want to become a CCP dev. People making my life awesome so I make theirs hard? Hmm...

Ingredients:
1 GÇô 473 mL (16 oz) Dark Beer
-+ cup Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
-+ cup Maple Syrup

Directions:
Using a heavy bottom sauce pan, over med-high heat, bring beer and brown sugar to a boil while stirring regularly. Turn heat to med-low and allow beer to reduce until mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 35 minutes.
Remove from heat and mount sauce with cold butter until all the butter melts, then Add your syrup...

Oh I ******* mastered it Goliath...

I would say I love you, but dude, your name

Hey, could you please request that we get an office pet?
I just realized how cute baby seals are, so now I want one at the office... thanks :)

baby seal meets ccp club

haha!

I think we should get an office polar bear, they're so cuddly :3

Anyone notice CCP GIRLS all want cuddly animals at work? Must be something about those CCP GUYS we don't know about

Nonetheless, real men cute furry animals are now on the list.
