I like the somethingawful spaceguild and everything, but this is what you get when you give the community the power of decision. It couldn't have gone any other way. I'm sure this will put an Emmy on Hilmar's bookshelf. I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

When you have power blocks able to vote en masse for one person any competition that involves players to vote is really worthless.
Congrats on GS guys for winning all those juicy plexes and prizes by flexing their (and friends) voting muscle. Yup exactly the reason why nearly ALL the top 'winning' stories are about null sec players. Screw the Mittani, and GS hardly interesting but yeah even in polls you guys just zerg everyone out. It would have been so much better if CCP had an independent panel of writers to judge the stories rather than 'omg bees, vote this **** so I can goes to Iceland for free and 20000 bajiliion plexes' But whatever. Absolutely agreed. Second round of votes, by CCP and/or the Dark Horse people to select staff favorites. In fact even having CCP read them would be prone to drama (derp derp, developer alts). Just have the guys making the actual media choose what they want to write/draw. In fact, I don't really think they have a choice in the matter; I sincerely doubt that most players are interested in reading generic 0.0 alliance drivel, no matter how iconic it is in the eyes of the 15% of the population of EVE players who are actually 0.0 residents.
Really have to give props on down-voting The Ferryman though, nice job on killing off the only good entry in the first five dozen. (Not directed at Goons, as I don't know who's responsible for that). I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

They might not do anything interesting (not true, I have many stories of megalomaniac carebear CEOs doing some crazy **** and abusing members), but people tend to do interesting things to them.

"Once upon a time, Goonswarm block voted and won 240 PLEX. The end." Mittens' story should have just been the word "story" and that's it. It would have been a great troll.
