The contest is a joke. The best story didn't win. In some occasions CCP you need to have a body or two who will add it's own weight to a certain competition. Or else Goons/Test related things will always win.
For example: CSM and some CCP representatives.
In this situation the power is given to the numbers instead to the quality.

...So, votes actually DO count something, huh?
Mittens' addiction for the icy isle is quite commendable, however. The place is very nice, and justifies whipping the bulk of your 30'000 slaves to get free trips there.

So your problem is that the number of people who liked a story determines the winner of a contest to determine the most popular EvE story? |

This result is pretty disappointing. All of these stories are from nullsec. While it's not surprising that most submissions would come from there, you cannot tell me that of all the submissions that came in, none featured stories from high or lowsec or from Faction Warfare? And while we can all agree that the Guiding Hand Social Club is one of the BEST stories to come from any MMO ever, did we really need to award it here? Everybody who has played EVE knows about it and it has been universally acknowledged as amazing, so it feels a bit like "piling on". Same thing with the disbanding of BoB -- yes, it's part of game history, but is it one of the best "stories"? Erhm. I feel like a few of these would belong on a list of "Best Histories" -- stories that we've already acknowledged belong to the archive of outstanding events, but which in themselves are not more or less compelling as "stories".
I like that there's a balance here of "large scale" and "small scale" stories here, but there is a preponderance of the "usual suspects" here. Just feels like a list of "acknowledgements", not a list of truly great "stories".
I guess this is a predictable outcome of submitting these things to a vote. Nullsec critical mass voting carries the day again. What a victory for "storytelling". |

Yep, because its sucks ballz.
There should be 3 bodies. Players, CCP and CSM. Take the average votes of all those bodies and u get a pretty much fair and plausible system.

Debating whether a story was good or not doesn't mean it was liked.
I submitted a story myself, and I am a relatively unknown pilot in Eve. And yet my story got at least 3 likes.
I'm honestly disappointed at some of the stories that were written as a series of informative sessions involving nothing more than information about a killmail. There were very few stories written in a narrative sense, giving CCP a better ability for writing such scenes out.
With popularity of Goonswarm, TEST, and such, there was no way that any story other than The Mittani's was going to win.

I guess it was the thought that counted CCP. Hopefully you are smart enough pick the good stories by hand and not go by some meta gamed results for the TV series and comic book.

So what you are saying is you want the system rigged so that whoever or whatever you consider to be worthy wins, not the popular vote. Who are your heroes Stalin, Mao and Chavez? |

Look guys, I'm not contending that what happened with the BoB disbanding wasn't important in the development of EvE. That would be lunacy. What I'm saying is that the story was not actually very well written. It was a brief (not entirely well written) summary of the events that was upvoted by everyone involved on the victors side; both those who were actually there and remember what happened, and those who have since joined and see it as part of their heritage. Those people are voting more based on the countless other stories that they have heard surrounding the events, rather than that specific one.
Mitten's own writings for Ten Ton Hammer were technically way better stories. They were engaging in a way that this one simply wasn't. |

That doesn't mean that they weren't better than the ones in #1 and #2. It just means that fewer people voted for them.
Or rather, that more people voted for the stories that came in 1st and 2nd.

This contest was designed for large alliances to be won by. It was known from the very beginning that Goons (Mittani) will win the 1st place and the stories (good or bad) from the other major alliances will get the top 20. No matter how good your story was, if you were not an important member of a large alliance you didn't stand a chance.

those stories are why we are a "major alliance" - they demonstrably have more of an impact on the eve narrative than a story about some dude's pos

Consider our collective voting power. Now look at how many votes those stories actually received, look how low the number is considering our collective voting power. Everyone had plenty of chance to downvote our stories & upvote the ones they liked but surprise surprise, they didn't bother which is hilarious considering that very few of us bothered with it.
The guy who was sitting next to me in the first nullsec round table who had obviously not had a shower since before boarding his flight to Iceland, you really stank. You know who you are. |
