Congratulations to Goonswarm Federation who took both 1st and 2nd place ! 240 plex and a trip for two to Iceland is their reward for a couple of well written stories (but mostly just for being really well organized and numerous)
Both well written submissions about events that had a considerable impact on the greatest war to take place in EVE so far, involving at one point or another pretty much every significant 0.0 alliance in the game (and many many not so significant heh)
In first place (120 plex) we had The Mittani's entry; https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/976 - basically a bored Band of Brothers executor corp director betrays his friends in order to make new more fun friends, handled by spymaster mittens he steals some stuff and single handedly removes sov from Fortress Delve, goons and friends capitalize on this opportunity and decisively win the great war.
Second place (120 plex) went to xttz's entry; https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/821 - events that had a great effect on redswarm federation morale and made SUAS and Nync legendary. (speaking of SUAS, Little Bees is pretty amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfv1QtZDirY , you should all watch it and then go listen to these songs; https://soundcloud.com/shutupandshave/sets/eve-parody ) I guess you could say that was when BoB started to lose the war, altho personally I always felt like the RSF side was winning in the larger scheme of things despite getting owned by remote doomsdays a lot. Can't say I find this story very interesting tho apart from it involving one of my favorite EVE minstrels uncle SUAS, but I can see why goons would care about it.
Third place (12 plex) was a GH-SC story about a heist. https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/1025
Fourth place (12 plex) was a battlereport by Lord Maldoror , did not deserve to place this high, but gz on your voting and downvoting campaign RnK - https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/899
Fifth place (12 plex) was a rather uninteresting story about an unpopular CEO and his obsession with getting a titan by transcom caldari of Nulli Secunda; https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/1029 gz Nulli on your voting and downvoting campaign, managed to downvote Centra Spike enough to get yourself 12 plexes pretty much at the last minute. [23:28:00] TyrraxThorrk > half hour to go centra, looks like you got dis <- apparently not !
Sixth place was another TOTALLY UNINTERESTING story by Lord Maldoror, really happy you didn't win a prize for this submission, cripes. https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/784
Seventh place was about how Centra Spike stole an Erebus from Bluemelon (who funnily enough recently joined us here in Pandemic Legion, funny how a little thing like a stolen titan isn't that big a deal in EVE) - https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/820
Eighth place is a campaign report by Seleene of the Mercenery Coalition about how they were super cool once upon a time in the very distant past, CONVENIENTLY FORGETTING TO MENTION HOW MC GOT OWNED BY IAC IN ALL FOUR PROHIBITION CAMPAIGNS LOLOL , story lacked Buffy pictures https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/1013
Ninth place went to Hardin of CVA fame in a not very interesting history of Amarr roleplayers doing stuff in Providence , lacked IAC mentions tbh - https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/830
Tenth place went to yet another Lord Maldoror entry which I didn't even read cos his other two higher voted ones sucked. https://truestories.eveonline.com/ideas/923 - let me know if it's any good thanks ! |

Lord Maldoror wrote:Your downvoting campaign from the 17th May. (I note the name Tyrrax heads the list of many pages of downvotes votes placed in a matter of minutes, for example, on a story previously having virtually no negative vote).
We didn't start downvoting your stories until we had received dozens of downvotes from your supporters, I'm told it wasn't organized at first, but you still started it. |

Pretty sure those votes, and votes from unsubbed accounts all got deleted and the current order of the stories should be accurate. (the number of upvotes/downvotes listed is not accurate, but it doesn't seem to be sorted according to those numbers anyway)
Hardin wrote: First I would like to thank everyone who voted for my story.
You're welcome ! )
Hardin wrote: That said, why didn't you bother to do a write up on IAC's eventful history? Could have been epic!
I could've posted so many stories ! :S but I'm not much of a writer - kinda have to torture myself to get anything down. The one I did post was like an hour's work an hour before deadline, was originally planning to post two other stories too, and considered doing a story about how I got kicked out of IAC and the whole morris falter thing but vov
Hardin wrote: As for my story being interesting or not - well I admit it was written in a rush and is replete with typos - however Provi is one of the unique regions in 0.0 so I felt a story about why it has developed that way would be of interest to at least a few people (which clearly it was). I think the fact that Providence was the most 'tagged' region in the True Stories competition (by a long way) demonstrates the uniqueness of the region and its ability to create interesting content for both old and new players...
I don't recall noticing any typos, so can't have been too bad :) and yeah Providence has definitely seen a lot of action and events since CVA set up shop there, one of the stories I was planning to submit even took place there! ( http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1021821&page=1#1 ) |

it's actually not true, goonswarm federation has 10k members, then add the rest of CFC and it's close to 10% of all EVE accounts. |

Interestingly Hardin's story has traded places with Lord Maldoror's 3rd story - I guess CCP is deleting some votes ! :O |

Pretty much yeah, but whether CFC has a combined membership of 30k or 50k it's still close to 10% )) |
