Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 7	Posted - 2013.11.27 22:08:00 - [181] - Quote ... Why not just take the plex equivalent of isk from the corp and donate it yourself? That makes these last 9 pages 100% irrelevant

You either love us or we hate you.

So you see, even war decs can help make a better world. Group hug anyone ? \o/ Keep up the good work BKM ! I set a new alliance goal if we reach 50 billion I am putting on a dress and ribbons in my beard and signing a song then posting it on youtube. Who ever in the alliance donates the most can pick the song ( must be something I can sing). type something here to make a cool sig!!!
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 7	Posted - 2013.11.27 22:29:00 - [184] - Quote I honestly doubt that was you're original intention for the scheme. Maybe you are raising more plex for the cause but I worry about how this will affect CCP in future attempts at plex for good. We are at a very gray area in regards to blurring rl and the game, a charity works from those who want to give and support it. Coercing donations goes against how charities are at up and regardless of monetary medium I feel uneasy forcing people to conform to my thoughts and feeling on a subject regardless of how clear cut and "good" I deem it. I hope CCP don't take anything negative away from this drive.

They even get out of a war at a much cheaper then normal price. Who is being forced to donate? I have not seen one corp or alliance who got the mail post here yet complaining. No one has donated so maybe they sent you the plex and or isk and you are breaking the rules? The whole point of this was to help people doing what we normally do. I am sure 2 weeks ago no one complained on here when they could pay to get out of a war dec. People could look at it as hey we are helping charity instead of paying a merc corp. That was how we looked at it.

" But people killing each other in a game is ok for charity or are you just 100% against charity and games mixing? Personally I think the sentiment is sound and the execution is perfectly in line with the ethos of eve. My main concern is that people who are on the receiving end might start taking a darker view of the PFG drive if they have unpleasant personal moments linked with it. Even if they get a discount there is still an issue of branding, in that charities (and all products) go a long way to try to avoid negative associations in their ad campaigns. It's a tricky one, though, because for a lot of eve players this will be a positive association I also think there are broader ethical questions in general about creating a link between ingame morality and the out of game reality but that's kind of an academic issue that I'm not entirely sure where I stand on. At the end of the day, if CCP are ok with it and they apply the ruling universally then money is money. I don't discount the possibility of a negative effect but any potential theoretical harm will be pretty marginal in any case. There are two types of EVE player: those who believe there are two types of EVE player and those who do not.
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 8	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:11:00 - [189] - Quote I'm not really fond of giant posts, so I'll just respond here. I have no problem with paying out of wars. I have a problem with you making them do something which pertains to an individual's beliefs in relation to the world, things going on there and what YOU deem "right/correct /good" Playing the game should not leave the game imo. Plex for good is a nice idea but if I owned or ran a game I don't think I would run a scheme similar. Yes I am against mixing a video game and the real world. Also you have managed to get a Dev response that has set a precedent over this situation. This may be somewhat related to the fact that they do not allow scams regarding plex for good, and rightly so. However this holds a bearing towards the game mechanics in the sense your wars are "insured" by CCP to any outcome you wish. I always felt CCP like their hands off approach to this game and things that happen, but here they are forced to act and take away from that philosophy.
J3ssica Alba Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 1135	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:15:00 - [190] - Quote It might be for a good cause this time around, but what if one day someone decides to use the same extortion method to donate to the less than savory groups out there. This obviously would have set a precedent which CCP would then have to back out of. This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.-á Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless
Little Dragon Khamez Guardians of the Underworld White Mountain Coalition 577	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:16:00 - [191] - Quote The ops point is that the real world/game world divide has been crossed and that when you log in to eve you want to leave behind the mundane world that we all share. I have some sympathy for this point of view. Plus I wouldn't trust the marmites to honestly donate the plexes to the same degree as a properly managed CCP plex drive. Nothing against the marmite collective but there's obviously less trust of in game entities than CCP fundraising for charity because new eden does not breed trusting relationships. Personally I think we should all leave the real world behind at the log in screen but at that same log in screen theres nothing wrong with a donate button, perhaps ccp can encourage donations by giving everyone a sisters of eve arm band or some other vanity item that they can wear about their avatar provided of course that it can't be sold in game. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...
Tora Bushido EVE Corporation 987654321-POP The Marmite Collective 632	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:22:00 - [192] - Quote We shot an obelisk tonight, who had a plex inside his cargo. Sorry for your loss mate, but your plex will be donated too You either love us or we hate you.
BKM Industries EVE Corporation 987654321-POP The Marmite Collective 5	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:22:00 - [193] - Quote RAW23 if people start thinking that helping a charity is bad cause of what we did then I am sure they already think this video game is bad cause of what we do. All the war decs are ones we have done before if I am not mistaken. I also do not hear any of the CEO's complaining about it. I also belive Red Frog Freight thought it was a cool thing. They still did not pay up but meh I know they donated before durring teh Japan Plex for Good to a lotto that was help by Tyra Holden. If CCP starts to say you can only use xx or yy game mechanics in game to get isk or plex for the plex for good then they are changing the whole game around durring the charity drives. http://www.extra-life.org/ 4 million bucks raised for kids. How by people playing games killing people, building stuff, shooting stuff doing what ever it is they do to have fun. Do you think if I was playing CS durring that event people I killed would complain to the admins of the CS server that I killed them in teh name of charity in a video game when the whole point of the video game is to do that? The point of this video game is play and have fun. If people do not like the normal rules they should not play. No extra rules were made saying you can only let people out of a war dec durring PLEX for Good. Lets see this for what it is. CCP is trying to help people in need. People in game are doing the same. Some may mine ore some may trade stuff otehrs may move stuff some may swoop in under concords nose and blow **** up. We are doing what we do everyday and some people do not like it. They can quit the game it is and has been part of the game from day 1. I doubt CCP will ever halt high sec wars and or tell people they can not pay to get out of a war. type something here to make a cool sig!!!
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 8	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:25:00 - [194] - Quote But there is a new rule. Of you say you are going to donate you now Have to donate.
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 8	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:27:00 - [195] - Quote What I am saying is that you should not mix the game aspects of surrender and wars with the Plex for good drive. They should stay separate and you appropriating the name for use in your wars is somewhat distasteful. Also forums and games are separate. The game is where you play the forums are where you converse and discuss ideas and rl is where you go after. Please do not make me out to say something I am not. Their wars are insured as any option as to gaming you on relation to your new demands will be considered a scam. That's the new rule I was talking about. CCP has now more or less endorsed your activity (which I have no problem with) CCP have created a rule to safeguard their drive and your demands inadvertently (this is the bad part)
BKM Industries EVE Corporation 987654321-POP The Marmite Collective 5	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:31:00 - [196] - Quote Jill Chastot wrote: But there is a new rule. Of you say you are going to donate you now Have to donate. This is an old rule. Every single plex for good has had the same rules. A war dec would not stop till we got what we asked for that has always been the way with us. So what changed? EDIT: plex for good has always been a punishment for people who tryed to scam so anyone saying tehy would donate and did not would be punished. http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/plex-for-good-philippines-typhoon-relief/?utm_source=Launcher&utm_medium=Banner&utm_content=PLEX+For+Good+Philippines&utm_campaign=PLEX+For+Good+Philippines read the last part: Quote: Please note that CCP regards any scamming attempts surrounding PLEX for GOOD to be morally reprehensible, and any attempts at scamming relating to this program will be met with the harshest and swiftest action at our disposal. CCP did not just add this. It was in the last one too it is not new. type something here to make a cool sig!!!
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 8	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:37:00 - [197] - Quote That rule is moot, the drive isn't being scammed. Your alliance is. And now you have protection from CCP. Does that make sense? (inb4 someone thinks this post is a person attack)

I will tell you what for you if you wanna donate 10 plex to the plex for good you can post a SS of the finished contract or send them to me to get to CCP and in return I will not offer to not war dec any more alliance or corps in exchange for plex durring this plex drive. We are outside of teh game so it is ok to talk about RL stuff now right? type something here to make a cool sig!!!
Laetitia Nzero Southern Cross Empire Flying Dangerous 65	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:41:00 - [199] - Quote So OP doesn't want to hear about CCP PLEX for GOOD or charity work when logs in, got it.
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 8	Posted - 2013.11.27 23:59:00 - [200] - Quote What I think is because you are using the name of the drive it implies a certain level of collaboration, and with the rule being scams regarding plex for good are bad the rule can then be applied to you. You want the say 10 plex donated and SS. That is your alliances motive say, and there is no conceivable way for me to play within the rules given CCPsfirm(and correct) stance. So they are offering you a degree of security not offered elsewhere or to anyone else, purely because you are saying those magic words. In turn you cannot reneg on your side of the deal in kind. But regardless your mission has carried out with inadvertent assistance from ccps rules.
J'mee Leggs Red Federation RvB - RED Federation 53	Posted - 2013.11.28 00:24:00 - [201] - Quote Obmud wrote: To the person who said i want the wardec lifted... right, Because the Viziam get wardecced so much. -.- So this doesn't even affect you, you're just waving your space honor around to stir up drama? You sir are a troll. Good for Marmite. They can offer whatever terms of surrender they want. trying to find some arbitrary distinction to classify it as blackmail is asinine. ALL terms of surrender are blackmail I.E. do what we say or we will keep shooting you. If they wanna turn their normal style of gameplay towards helping those in need then more power to them.
BKM Industries EVE Corporation 987654321-POP The Marmite Collective 6	Posted - 2013.11.28 00:25:00 - [202] - Quote Ok well that would still not aply to us. Cause we would not end a war without the agreed terms being acted on by the otehr party. So the war would not have ended. So you are talking about some other alliance then. I am sure we could come up with tons of what ifs. I mean someone is selling a bunch of T2 BPO's and donating the "profits" to P4G. Well who decieds what the profits are? Is it the sales minus the cost? Or maybe the sales minus the cost and 1 years profit caose they are ditching it? Maybe people could scam in many ways in this. I think assuming all of them will happen or pointing out new ones does not help the the good of what CCP is doing here. If someone is running a scam or someone thinks xxx is then they should inform CCP. I think just pointing fingers on the forums and saying maybe they are a scam is a waste of time for CCP as well as others. But slander is part of this game. I do tons of charity work in real life. I would be willing to bet all my isk in game (not the P4G isk) that I do more then 99.99% of the people in this game if you look at what I give and what I make in real life. I am not butt hurt someone is worried I may scam and I am glad they brought it up and CCP knows to check me. They should have already known that from the mail informing them of the war dec I paid for against them. On the same note about the drive do you think people should not be able to list it in an auction on the forums? What about Eve Radio (we war deced them too) can they say Plex for Good on the radio? Would it not give that "certain level of collaboration" impression? If you start saying xxxx or yyyy can not say it then you need to look at everyone who can and see what is just. Cause why just say mercenaries can not use it but traders and people on the radio can. EDIT: J'mee Leggs well said. I love playing with you guys. If you ever want the links of the videos I made from our fights let me know. All the real life money I get from the youtube channel goes to different charities. type something here to make a cool sig!!!
Jimmy O'Shanty The Westies 7	Posted - 2013.11.28 00:28:00 - [203] - Quote Wouldn't it be funny if after receiving their Plex for Good donations, Marmite kept the war decs active anyway.
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 8	Posted - 2013.11.28 00:35:00 - [204] - Quote If that was directed at me i think you best Re read my post because I think you may have misunderstood me
BKM Industries EVE Corporation 987654321-POP The Marmite Collective 6	Posted - 2013.11.28 00:39:00 - [205] - Quote Jill Chastot wrote: If that was directed at me i think you best Re read my post because I think you may have misunderstood me I do understand you are saying a what if? Cause no one has paid us and no way someone could scam cause the war would not end till I got the isk or plex or proof of the donation. So it would not be directed at myself or my alliance. I am going for food now. I said that how many hours ago in game? lol..... type something here to make a cool sig!!!
Jill Chastot Oath of the Forsaken Ragnarok. 8	Posted - 2013.11.28 00:46:00 - [206] - Quote Well do enjoy, we shall leave this at the agreement of disagreements. If you get back about my comments regarding things I have said I'll be glad to pick the conversation back up
Hasikan Miallok Republic University Minmatar Republic 24	Posted - 2013.11.28 01:00:00 - [207] - Quote What an odd thread. Corps wardec to extort ISK on a regular basis (often far more than a PLEX costs) and that is OK by the rules. However a wardec that says instead of giving us the 600 mill ISK ... this time give it to charity is somehow unethical???? Presumably the real issue is not having a choice of charity, some people possibly feeling the Philippines charity is unworthy ... so what if you said "you are wardecced, to remove it you can either give a plex to this specified charity OR pay us the normal ransom of one plex worth of ISK" ... would that keep people happy ????

The difference is one is in game, the other is blackmailing for a real life action. In game is only meant to affect in game, not actual life. This sounds like it's an EULA violation to me in that area. Marmite could of course simply try extorting 600 Mil isk with no mention of what it is for. And then choose to use it for the PLEX. But that is then their choice to partake in a donation, not extortion for a donation. Quite different things.

No the OP just feels very impotent because of the whole wardec situation, as we all know if you get wardecced you might as well uninstall the game because you have no other option than dying or just not logging in. And just as he's too dumb to figure out he has options he's also dumb enough to think/hope that this whole plex for charity issue might get him off the hook.
Black Canary Jnr Kongsberg Vaapenfabrikk Amarr branch. Sev3rance 47	Posted - 2013.11.28 01:17:00 - [210] - Quote These incursion runners with their 100 mil an hour are the dirty bankers of the world, causing inflation and laughing as hard working war deccers try to help out people in need. The only solution is to close down all high sec incursions till this is over or 1000 plexes have been handed over. Their malicious actions have not gone unseen. Also it would be nice to see the bot, sorry renters, cough up an extra few bill to help. They don't need it, they are machine men! Also buff provi cos we got no isk and are very sad but wanting to help.
