So this is a story about how 12 EVE players from different alliances across the game gave a carrier to a 13th person. EVE is FGÇÖcking real.
In the dangerous and unfriendly lands of the EVE forums there is a little kingdom hidden in a far corner. This kingdom is known as OOPE and is a kingdom of friendliness and respect where both players, trolls and ISDs post together in harmony. From her castle, the LAGL thread, Alice Saki also known as the Queen of likes. But she is not like the queens in fairytales like Snow White and Narnia. No, she is a Queen loved and liked by everyone. And I have written this thread to celebrate the 40k like milestone which was reached by our lovely queen.
But this thread is just a small part of the celebration. We planned a little surprice party for her where she received an Archon as a gift from the OOPE community. EVE is a game known for backstabbing and mistrust, yet I still managed to convince 11 players to trust me their ISK so we could purchase an Archon for her. And out of these 11 players only 2 of them were players who have played the game with me. The rest are from different alliances and have never played with me or each other. And this basically sums up the LAGL community as well as the actual EVE community. Because no matter how much ISK you got, it still canGÇÖt replace what friends who trust you can offer and there is this old EVE saying: The best ship is friendship.
The Party video will be up soon and BP has recorded her reaction on comms Sadly, out of the 12 contributors only 3 could show up. Zimmy and I in stealthbombers with festival launchers and Jonah Gravenstein in a frig with festival launchers. We were waiting in Vestouve when Alice suddenly showed up. It caught us by surprise since the initial plan was different (see below) and I started to panic a bit. But luckily it caught Alice by surprise even more. From the Likes and get Likes channel: Alice Saki > What? Alice Saki > :S Marcus Gord > ? Alice Saki > 3 people from Lagl are in local with me Alice Saki > I feel like this is a trap Alice Saki > IS THIS THE CAGE? Zimmy Zeta > do yuo smell the coffee? Alice Saki > I'm gonna make a coffee.... This is mind bending Zimmy Zeta > lotsa milk and two sugar, plz Alice Saki > GÖÑ Alice Saki > prefect Alice Saki > So what you guys doing? Op or something? Mizhir > a little stealthbomber roam Zimmy Zeta > RVB ganked..scouting the terrain
At this point my thought was ohh ****. We now have told 2 different lies. Luckily she didnGÇÖt suspect anything and kept on talking. She kinda made it easy for us :P
Alice Saki > Oh right Alice Saki > I'm on a Mission! Alice Saki > I was told to get a cyno here Mizhir > well, that was coincidence Mizhir > guess BP had intended to hotdrop the ganked roam Alice Saki > Hmmmm Seems Unlikly Zimmy Zeta > SPAI!!! Alice Saki > Now that I think about it... why do we need a Cyno here... Alice Saki > Oh Alice Saki > Its close to our temp home xD Alice Saki > 2 weeks Vacation in Syndicate
The talking kept on while she didnGÇÖt suspect anything. We were still waiting for Buhhdust Princess to get his archon alt in position. I located Alice in the 2nd station and Zimmy and I waited cloaked outside. Then BP asked if we were ready and I told him to go. Alice undocked and lit a CYN0. Zimmy and I charged towards her while firing fireworks and Joneh undocked and fired as well. Suddenly Spaceships jumped in a few Black Ops and they had a bunch for repair drones to rep her since they couldnGÇÖt fit launchers on the BO. The party really took her by surprise.
From LAGL channel: Alice Saki > At last Alice Saki > GÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑGÖÑ Alice Saki > I can't believe this LOL! so many firewoprks
Local spam: Mizhir > 40K LIKES \o/ GRATZ Buhhdust Princess > HAPPY 40K LIKES! MrMaaX > HAPPY 40K LIKES! Halaxi > HAPPY 40K LIKES! Alice Saki > Huh? Tegroidiumx > HAPPY 40K LIKES Alice Saki > Lol Dunolathi > HAPPY 40K LIKES! PhantomF HarlockIII > HAPPY 40k LIKEs Azhy > happy 40k likes!

Buhhdust Princess > heheh :D Buhhdust Princess > SURRPRRRIISSEE \O/
And it kept going on for a while.
Meanwhile in LAGL channel: Mizhir > You see the Archon? Alice Saki > I see it! Mizhir > it's yours Alice Saki > /emote Hugs Everyone Alice Saki > How Who? Alice Saki > omg Mizhir > we are 12 from lagl who chipped in some isk Alice Saki > GÖÑ Zimmy Zeta > most LAGL regulars were contributing and collecting money Alice Saki > GÖÑ Alice Saki > Thank you Everyone!
And at this point all the fireworks went on while Alice was still shocked.
We will never forget you Saede! |

The story behind it This celebration began as a joke by me. I posted in the LAGL thread that we should give Alice a titan when she reached 50k likes because she gave a Monocle to Zimmy Zeta when he reached 10k likes (That monocle is now a LAGL tradition and will pass on to members who reach 10k likes). Zimmy Zeta then corrected me (while still joking) that a titan would be too expensive for us so a Carrier was more realistic. Not much happened until Zimmy and I later received a mail from Random McNally who asked us if we were serious, which we initially werenGÇÖt but then when I thought about it I liked the idea (pun is unintended). So I sent out mails to players who frequently posted in LAGL and asked if they wanted to contribute to this gift. And we ended up being 12 contributors. However at this stage Alice was still far from 50k likes as well as 40k likes, so we chose to move it to 40k, so we can spread the joy earlier.
The next step was to get a carrier. Initially the plan was to build it since Random has an alt that can make caps. But suddenly AliceGÇÖs posting increased rapidly and we started to doubt if we could construct it in time, so we chose to buy one instead. I contacted AliceGÇÖs alliance leader Buhhdust Princess and told him about the idea and asked about which carrier she most likely wanted. The answer was an Archon. It surprised quite a few of the contributors, but the answer is simple. The character Alice isnGÇÖt the main. I also spoke with BP about making a surprice event for Alice. The plan was simple. The contributors and I would gather in the system where the Archon was located and BP would arrange a Black Ops fleet like they often do. However instead of dropping on top of an unsuspecting enemy they would drop on us who would shoot fireworks at Alice while cheering in local. And I would contract the carrier to her.
GÇâ Big thanks to the contributors who all chipped in 119.5mill isk. Without you it would never be possible:

Also thanks to Buhhdust Princess and Suddenly Spaceships for helping us to arrange this, making an awesome party and donating the modules for the carrier. We will never forget you Saede! |

Greetings from contributors who couldn't make it to the EVEnt
Miiral:
Quote:Congrats Alice for your achievement! May this gift help you to spread the wisdom of glomping for everyone :D

Quote:I shall never forget the day when Alice Saki charged into a forum thread right after I was unjustly accused and proudly proclaimed:
"Erm... I am the Like Farmer, throw your insults my way."
If I could have, I would have gave that reply a million likes. Later when the topic was brought up in another thread, Alice Saki humbly said:
"Hmmmmm I don't think I've been called a like farmer by anyone but myself :) :D"
Well, this one's for you Alice Saki. You're not just a Like Farmer, you're the Queen of all Like Farmers.
Gratz on +40K LIKES. I have no doubt you'll easily get another 40K LIKES within a few weeks. Guess we better start planning another party right now. :)
With much respect,

Alice, I think I can speak on behalf of many players when I say that we love the community in our own corner of the forums. And you have been a major part of this community to such a degree that activity of the community scales with the activity of your posting. Not only have you contributed to keep the LAGL thread active, you have also kept friendly and random discussions going, and you have always provided us with entertainment and smiles. And oddly enough, your love for coffee is something we can permanently talk about. Congratulations for reaching 40k likes. ThatGÇÖs quite a lot and it is near the amount of EVE players that is online during a calm day.
I was really shocked by how amazing this event turned out to be. All the hapiness, all the joy. It is one of the most amazing things I have done in EVE.
A big thanks to everyone who made it possible.
EVE is freaking real. -Miz We will never forget you Saede! |

One little nitpick, I didn't undock, I was cloaked about 40km off of the station. The sudden appearance of lots of reds via cyno, while expected, still made me go "oh shieet", that and the horrendous lag I was suffering made me a little slow off the mark, I was half expecting a socket closed error because of the time between activating the launcher and it actually spamming fireworks.
Awesome work by Miz for organising it all, and thanks to everybody who made it happen.

Short n sweet
Alice Saki hit 40,000 likes, so we bought her a carrier and gave it to her in lowsec. Her own alliance were in on it and got her to cyno them in for the gift ceremony. We then proceeded to spam her with fireworks and armor repping drones.

This is pretty awesome.
Eve is usually a game where being nice or helping others is an invitation for ruthless behavior and scamming.
It's nice to see that one random act of kindness was rewarded tenfold by others.
This couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
Congrats Alice and nicely played guys!

Shame i couldnt be there but i went to bed at 5pm eve time. Stupid work schedule. 
Grats Alice, get some good kills in it before you get exploded!
You know... we really should have told the news guys about this. Miz might be a good idea to contact them. Maybe we can get the Queen onto the front page too.
I must now summon the high lord of Veldspar Chribba and ask this.

Sorry I couldn't be there... was in New Orleans with my wife.
Went to a breakfast place this morning and they have "start your day" drinks... if it wasn't for the piles of garbage lining the streets and the whole place smelling like a garbage barge on a hot day I'd think this is what heaven was like 
Enjoy the carrier, Alice... I see no one did my request and fire a torpedo at you as an apology I couldn't be there to do it myself "Little ginger moron" ~David Hasselhoff-á |

I was a little surprised myself how it all worked out. I made sure to have a cheap clone and a platinum insurance on my SB, somehow I was expecting that after the celebration you guys would give us a quick trip back to Otela 
Awesome event, big thanks and kudos to everyone involved, especially Miz for organizing it all.

Paranoia is all a part of eve.
But when you start pounding people at surprise parties as they arent blue you might be taking it too far.
Not that you did though, just making a bad joke
