Good afternoon Capsuleers!
You will remember at the start of the year that we launched the True Stories of EVE website, intent on collecting the stories that you created over the first decade of EVE Online's history.
Well, submissions closed on May 6th, and the voting has begun.
CCP t0rfifrans is here with a new Dev Blog to explain the next step in the process, and you can read all about it here!

Thanks for letting us know we were wasting our time by voting with 3 chars per account, instead of you know actually giving out that information before voting started..
Also thanks for giving goons 240 free plex, good system you got there :P
Maybe next time you could just use the votes to sift the stories a little bit and then have CSM or CCP judges choose the best ones, instead of just rewarding the ones Mittani asked his 40000 minions to upvote. :P |

there was an extensive goonswarm-led screening system that filtered out the bad stories, it is not our fault everyone not xttz and mittens cannot write
why, even some goon stories were thrown in the rubbish heap (they were bad) |

They're both good stories to be fair, and I guess people should just be grateful goons didn't take all 5 prizes since they could very easily have done so.
It's just kinda gay that mittani could've posted a story about him taking a dump and it would still have won the "contest". |

I dunno, the stories basically describe two of the key events that make goonswarm still an organization with lots of votes, it is oddly appropriate they benefit from it. Without bob being disbanded and without suas and xttz blocking the BoB invasion in 9-9, goonswarm wouldn't be where it is today.
too bad we didn't submit story #3 "you mean you need to pay bills every month?" that lead to current goonswarm |

It's unfortunate that we didn't state the fact that there is only one vote per account rather than character, but in retrospect we consider that more fair and to make more sense, than expecting everyone to go in and vote with all three characters on the stories they like.

You making this change in the rules is also pretty bullshit since now we have no way of knowing how many upvotes we actually have. (this actually matters)
So no it is not more fair (especially since some people already put in the work of voting multiple times on multiple accounts).
It does not make sense at all to make this change when voting has already been going on for a week.
Maybe CCP messed up by not having it 1 vote per account from start, but changing it now makes the fuckup worse, not better. |

Mittens is a good writer, even if the story is horribly biased. It's not like it really matters if it's biased anyways.
I still think somebody who hasn't been to Iceland 20 times already and doesn't already play EVE for free could have been a better recipient of the grand prize. It just seems like a waste.

Honestly I like xttz's story far more than The Mittani's. It really puts an emphasis on the whole butterfly effect thing EVE has going for it rather than some meta-gaming stuff. |

I doubt Mittani wants to go to Iceland anyway, so if he wins maybe that 'honor' can go to the second place. |

mittani's story is weaker than it should be because to fit into the short word requirement, most of the detail has to be cut out |

I find your use of profanity to be quite uncalled for, very much unlike your assertion that the point you submitted actually matters. (because it actually matters)
We should have instead just submitted 15 pages of me writing about driving 2200km to sit in a hot tub with 6 other dudes stoned out of their mind. Because it actually matters to goonswarm. And Eve. (Because I am reaffirming the aforementioned statement...IN PARENTHESES) |

Not a little bitter your story didn't win first place? You'd make lemons look sweet right about now. |

History is written by those who can get the most people to agree upon what ought to have happened.... sounds about right.
As far as encouraging meaningful, well written submissions though: victory by vote was probably not the best way to go. |
