Hello everyone,
It's time once again to start getting ready for Christmas...
I am happy to see that there are people working toward a goal of spreading some cheer this season as shown in the post located at: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=293660 and while I do not know the person, I applaud their effort if it is an honest one...
As stated in my original post last year which can be found at: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=183205
"From my Bio:
"Yes, I'm an alt of a character in EvE who remembers when the player "Holiday Spirit" took his/her time to make the EvE universe a little brighter for some folks.
My main was one of the folks who benefited from Holiday Spirit's kindness and he, his corp and some friends would like to continue the tradition of sharing with others during the Christmas season.
I will be somewhere in the Metropolis region as Christmas approaches and will be giving away small trinkets, "Christmas presents" (if you don't mind me calling them that) in an effort to spread some kindness and cheer to my fellow capsuleers."
and
"It was a great feeling for me to watch local in 2010 while the character "Holiday Spirit" gave out trinkets, ships and nick-nacs to the players who visited that system, the conga lines outside, the chatter in local and even the concord ball of death that permeated the system brought a smile to my face.
As a new-ish player to EvE at that time(how many years does it take to no longer be new-ish to the game?), I really enjoyed seeing the folks all getting together, some for the fun, some to grief and some hoping to get a free gift from that Holiday Spirit guy in the station, almost all of the wonderful complexities of the EvE universe were present in the system that evening, pirates, carebears, laughter and tears.
it was beautiful and heartwarming.
I have never forgotten that event or the knowledge of the one prior to that, yet alas, I have been unable to contact the "Holiday Spirit" character since then to make good on my offer to help him with his next event, so this year, I made this alt and I have put into motion(after talking with CCP about my idea) the following event of my own."
This year, I plan on doing it again and since some folks missed the event due to having it on Christmas EvE last year, I am going to do it on Saturday, December 14th this year in order to ensure that everyone can come if they want to.
EvENT Specifics:
Hint: the event was in "Metropolis" last year, it will not be there this year....
I will be logging in every so often to accept contracts for items (only in .5 space or higher) and to send contracts out to the alliance that is helping transport goods for me.
Don't just assume that because a locator agent finds me in one system that I will be holding the event there... :) save your iskies, I'll announce the location here in this thread the night before.
As was done last year, if you would like to donate to the event, you may send items, or isks to me and if you send items, I will have them picked up and transported to the event location, if you send isks, I will use those isks to cover the costs of cans to put the items in, or for buying things to add to the giveaways.
My intent is to retain nothing for myself from these events, or for my main, I'm simply wanting to continue the task of spreading the Christmas Spirit and the idea of Goodwill Toward Men.
To each and every one of you who donated last year, I am still amazed by how much you gave of yourselves, you will always have my unending gratitude, and to those who would donate this year, I thank you all in advance.
We found the rookie ships last year, so the battle will be on again this year and with any luck CCP will give us our own arena to use :P
*hint*cough*hint*Eterne*cough*no concord*cough*
The Last Pilot Standing will receive a special Gift from me.
Fly Safe
Santa

Please pass this around to all of your friends and contacts and let's make this even bigger and better than last year.

This Event was incredible awsome to watch after I opened my gift- (A Domi BPC). Everyone seemed to have a blast and for once pple weren't shooting each other.
I'll find something cool to donate to the cause.

More than happy to donate again this year. Wasn't too sure about the other fella and was waiting for you to post.
This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

I'm "okay" with a less than stellar Christmas from CCP this year... especially after getting those T2 BPO's last year... and the Vangel was a nice stocking stuffer.
No idea what all the "good kids" got... probably a lump of Carbon they paid too much for in a Contract.
Nor do I care... it's all about me.

I have removed a rule breaking post.
The rules:
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

Not really.
I don't want or expect people to send me anything, however, if a person wants to donate something, they are welcome to, either items or isks, if not, they aren't required to, I already have gifts to give out, they are put into cans so that even I or the people who help me pass them out don't know what a particular person is getting, all we know is the size of the can, that's it.
we had over 100b isks worth of gifts last year, it was a blast!!!
if anyone has any questions, they are welcome to ask folks from last year how it worked, I'm sure they won't mind sharing their experience with you.
Since folks do need to be cautious of scams, a 3rd party holder of a gift is fine too, just donate a voucher (bookmark) with the info needed to claim the item and I'll put that into a can and give it out.

You know, christmas is all fine and dandy but there's so much preparation and hype each year you're already tired of christmas by the time it actually happens.
This year the first time I heard a christmas song at my local supermarket was november 16. That's well over a month before christmas.
We should start talking about christmas around december 16 instead of november. |
