It's the nature of people to speculate on the info they have available. Since all they currently can rely on is hearsay, that is what they use to speculate and draw conclusions from. If you want to manage this behavior, you're going to have to come out with some concrete facts about the mechanic. Otherwise the article is still the only solid info available, so people will speculate based on it.

Sex.

Smugness is not a good quality, you know. Might land you a bounty on your head

Punkturis linked this on Twitter, incoming like spam in 5....


Personally I laughed, then I facepalmed, and yet I still think this should be the image when you have a bounty instead of [WANTED] in big red letters over your portrait.

For a moment I thought he was asking Punkturis out on a date. That made me think...

For next fanfest there should be a competition of some sort where the reward is dinner with Punkturis. Nobody cares about dining with the CEO...



Thread officially derailed. Topic is now about dinner with Punkturis at the next Fanfest!

Nope, having a skull near your name means half the bears are scared of you and you will get less fights.

Is that devblog still coming out today?

I would encourage the devs not to let up on the dev blogs. I know they are a lot of work and time taken away from actual work towards improving the game but those dev blogs are really important to many of us. Often they are the only reason I visit these forums. It's nice to know what is going on.

I read something recently about the devs stating there would be no more blogs until the expansion is done. This scares me.

Oh my.

Bounties on CCP Punkturis. =P

I wonder how high that will get. It's kind of like a popularity contest!

I don't know where you read that but the person writing that must have been trolling you because there are a bunch of dev blogs lined up

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands. Just publish them.

So we will see one tomorrow

For the Xmas event we should be allowed to place bounties on the devs in the "convoy leaving Polaris" whoever blows the dev up gets the majority of the bounty. Would be fun and could "sink" a lot of isk.

You've been talking to too many manager types today, you've got Boss-Speak in your vocabulary. A good evening of drinking will burn that stuff out though, you're going to be okay.

That's going to take a lot more drinking. I hear you have some good strong stuff there, though.

No, we need you properly and precisely inebriated. Developers gain superhuman coding ability at or around 0.1337% BAC.

next time I'll make sure to give him my drinks too

I think we have a basis for a science experiment now.

We'd still read them.

fix that in the next patch please

Why do I get the feeliing you get the extra drink

First of all; Shandir, this is not Boss-Speak, this is PR-Speak. Please get your terminology correct!!!

Secondly; CCP Punkturis, we need to rehearse better the "ask for drinks, pass them to me" act. It didn't quite work the last time.

the stalking of female ccp employees thing is super creepy.

Stop teasing us!

Damn you woman!

I can't help it!!!

(also, that dev blog won't go out today.. and not tomorrow... sowwy)

Apologizing in advance, but the sarcasm must flow....absolutely nuthing.

Sorry about the unfortunate delay but the already scheduled program will resume very, very shortly. Stay tuned!
