I think the important thing here is that we all had fun on this day. Snuff Box kicked our butts pretty hard like PL have in the past. As far as I remember, these fine groups of killers have killed me twice each now :).

GF!

I don't think there's ever been a CCP event that actually turned out the way you guys had it imagined, has there? :P

The ~Dust~ integration event thing with the glassing the planet went okay. Was good fun at least, even if there was the odd hiccup.

I think the main thing that can be learned from this is that if you're putting something up for stake you have to be really goddamned clear with the rules else it will always turn into a sh*tstorm.

Pretty sure less than ten people whining in a thread for 30 pages isn't a **** storm. It's just a tiny group of people whining like the children they are in hopes it will get them their way in the future.

Didn't you guys get a bunch of fireworks from killing them? Maybe you can stage your own private celebration and crown yourself the True Kings of Lowsec.





You still won't have the flag, but you'll get to see all those pretty lights they gifted you.

I don't really understand the point of this post, so I'll use my reply to pose a question:

Do you think CCP should have stated kills against them won't count in the OP? (Especially since the wording of the OP said that "all kills regardless of circumstance" would count)

One thing you'll have to learn when you eventually get out of high school is that life isn't fair. Deal with it.

Are you able to answer the question without giving a meaningless and inapplicable reply? (Since life being not fair generally relates to events that can't be controlled, and CCP could quite easily have written whether or not CCP kills would be counted in the OP :) )

Are you able to be less of a crybaby about losing a competition in an internet spaceship game?

Well I was saying that you received your reward from killing CCP- a generous amount of fireworks pried from their wrecks- and that you should use this reward to celebrate yourselves rather than cry here.

At least it would be far more cheery than cravenly gathering around the corpse of your hopes and dreams of being Kings of Lowsec and viciously beating it into the ground!

@Ed, Haha, that's such a childish reply tbh. Anyway, we're rehashing arguments already made. I think only XBeast had a go at doing it rationally (and he made some decent points).

My expectations are CCP will make one more post in this thread to say the flag is going up and lock it, and totally ignore the last 30 odd pages because what are they possibly going to say? In a perfect world I'd love to see some explanations as to the spirit of the competition they envisaged, the method of calculation and some noncommital 'oops'.

Life isn't fair indeed, but threadnoughts afterwards are part of life too!

Why attempt rational on children throwing a temper tantrum when standing back and letting them tire themselves out is so much more productive? No one has or is going to take your "arguments" seriously.

edit: In a perfect world we wouldn't be playing a video game about killing people.

Is everyone in PL incapable of answering a simple question?

Why attempt rational on children throwing a temper tantrum when standing back and letting them tire themselves out is so much more productive? No one has or is going to take your "arguments" seriously.

So when you ignore a question in order to instead pose one its fine and dandy but when I clarify the very post that you were confused about its somehow malicious, rather than generously assisting a more mentally deficient fellow eve player?

Yes, of course asking simply whether you think CCP should have stated the validity of kills on CCP in the OP is identical to throwing a temper tantrum.

nah OP rules say its by the kill report value so thats what i used

but sure delude yourself that we're inventing prices for stuff if it makes you feel better about losing

....


u got owned

in the ownzone

...

you're the one denying that you're losers

ha ha pl loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose

loooooooooooooooooooosers


get owned

lol

still not owning up to changing the rules after the OP eh?
trying to deflect it with "at least we had fun !!!"

l.o.l.

its ok, we understand that you had to do it because you're too scared to have our alliance name above your building

I don't think there's ever been a CCP event that actually turned out the way you guys had it imagined, has there? :P

Not a temper tantrum you say?



Logic isn't really your strong point is it?

We'd have no problem having a Urine flag on our building had it gone down like that :D. But like Eterne stated we just didn't want our spawned implants to tip the scales because they weren't bought for ISK and didn't have any actual ISK value. Hey, if we do this again I'll vote for skipping the implants altogether since I just like to brawl on gates anyway :D.

You guys put on a great show and were the undisputed champions of kicking CCP butt that night.

You guys can't seem to decide if you don't care, if you want an answer from CCP, if you're ****jUsT tRoLlIng**** or if you would never have had a chancesans CCP fleet from the start because you were unwilling to enter the large battle the rest of us fought in.

Can you answer the question yet, or do you need more time?

The question of who won? Why us most definitely.

Are you really claiming your question (which was essentially "Did the CCP ships explode when you killed them?") wasn't rhetorical?

I notice you're still dodging.

And we now reach the core of the issue:
You lot lack reading comprehension capabilities.

Where I said "Didn't you guys get a bunch of fireworks from killing them?" you somehow got "Did the CCP ships explode when you killed them?"

You see the former is a question regarding the contents of their wrecks (read: your reward for killing them), whereas the latter is your deranged misinterpretation that bears no resemblance to what was actually asked.


This is also mirrored in the conversation string in which CCP declares "PL are the winners" and you lot somehow got "PEE WINS YAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY." I know this may be difficult, but perhaps you lot should take some courses on reading for meaning rather than blindly continuing in your errant ways.
