Hi 
So, I'm in the beginning stages of writing a retrospective of YC115. It'll touch on a lot of events that occurred throughout the year, may perhaps even give a little more clarity to some of them, and of course will recap on major occurrences over the last 12 months.
This has been done a few times in the past, but I'd like to start making a habit of doing it annually, to keep a good record of what's been happening.
I'd also like you guys to contribute to it too, so that's what this thread is here for. I'd like you guys to submit resources for player driven events that have shaped your corporations and your gameplay over the course of the year.
Be it the launch of a few flagship, a corporate response to one of our news items, no matter how large or small, I'd like to hear about it in this thread so that it can be added to the retrospective if its seen to be relevant in the context of what's being put together.
So, start posting and discussing, provide links to IGS posts and other material, and we'll see what we can put together in order to mesh both prime and player fiction together in a review of YC115.

Things to mention regarding Stillwater's involvement in space in YC 115 (besides everyday lowsec pillaging and other Angel shenanigans). Going to keep it as short and concise as possible.
February:
- Coming 'out of the closet' after 3 years of covert operations as a fully fledged Angel Cartel loyalist corp, after charges made by a certain pro-Republican tribe lead to incarceration of some members.
May:
- Forming of the Angel Cartel Bloc, a coalition of Angel and Serpentis loyalist capsuleer corporations.
- Organizing the Fifth Skarkon Referendum anniversary event with Coreli Corporation. Providing citizens of Skarkon II with food and medical supplies during the lockdown.
November:
- Acting in a joint campaign in Gallente FW area with the rest of the Angel Cartel Bloc.
- Protecting Serpentis assets in Syndicate during the DED/Capsuleer invasion of Syndicate and Curse.
December:
- Upgrading of the Stillwater's sin city complex, the Ivory Tower finished. Re-opening to be announced in January YC 116.
Moar Angel live events plox. :3

PIE's 10th Anniversary, which included the following posts and events:
IGS Announcement
Public Tour
Resurgence and Peace - Speech at Amarr
Legion of Faith - Speech at Amarr
Anniversary Ball - Was attended by Admiral Ren Karetta and Grand Inquisitor Ohrud Omel
Off the top of my head, there was also Morwen's Hearth and Home initiative, Pieter/Ava's Charity-for-Caille-Victims jello fight, and Korsavius' anti-Provist rally (referenced in official EVE news as a/the triggering event for the downward spiral of Heth and the Provists). Additionally, there was Stitcher's demonstration at NCP against Heth's megacorp nationalization (not sure if he made separate thread for it).
There was also the Pyre trial thing, Ava's gathering for Midular at Pator, and... probably lots more I'm forgetting right now. Don't have thread links for those, but I'm sure the people who were involved will provide them. |

Definitely the PIE ball; even if I couldn't attend most of it, it was really cool seeing Live Event Actor Characters show up at an RP event.
Also definitely some of the player-led events surrounding Caldari Prime - not the actual 'battle', but stuff during the lead-up and follow-up to and from the event; Esna, for instance, flew a freighter down to Luminaire loaded with medical goods and shuttles, then sat around in orbit doing "extraction" with other players who had shown up to try to get civilians off the planet. What was also cool about this is we had some people who weren't 'traditional RPers' show up and play right along with the extraction - they knew it wasn't a CCP event, but they rolled with it anyhow.
In the aftermath, there was the event where players decided to lead a convoy of (dev actor) jump freighters around a waiting suicide gank camp, getting supplies to the planet's surface in the aftermath of the battle and titan crash.
Finally, the Electus Matari convoy of slaves out of the Mandate was cool for a number of reasons - one, it's always awesome to see L.E. actors respond to different RP prompts, not just big fights or piles and piles of kills. Second, it was a nicely discussion-provoking thing on the IGS as well, especially as various murky details (did the Republic's ships enter the Mandate's borders or not? Were the slaves forcefully taken or bought off the capsuleer market?) came to light and kept changing the discussion. |

Hmm...I would say the posters above me have got quite a lot of the good stuff.
I would also like to add the event which sprung up from Anslo over Caldari Prime in the aftermath of the battle. If I remember correctly, he was just doing what he could solo to get evacuate civilians. I joined him in this endeavor, and soon many other capsuleers flew to Luminaire to help as well. I don't remember exactly how many people there were in the end, but I was definitely surprised and thought how awesome this unexpected showing turned out.
Furthermore, Kor hosted an event on his personal estate on Abagawa IV in honor of a celestial phenomena for the planet. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3251466#post3251466 |

Some events already mentioned but worth mentioning again:
The Charity for Caille jello match.
The 5th Malkalen Memorial
The Alexylva Paradox festivities in Origin
Something on the sports front:

Some of Ch+¬'s interactions with New Eden that didn't take place at the other events in this post:

Making recommendations to the Caldari Navy after his shuttle was destroyed by them while picketing near the Shiigeru
Open Letter to the Aidonis Foundation Directorate

While I have nothing particular complex to add, I have to say that aside from a few minor issues (like the slight unfairness of battles like Colelie and Luminaire, though also simply attributed to necessity and game mechanics), I very much liked way how the Live Events were revived and my main complaint is the lack of anything definitive about their future.
I can definitely say though, that even if CCP might not see Live Events as that much of a priority right now, they add a lot of content to the universe of New Eden for both role players and those who don't really see themselves as such, while I especially think that this managed to get a lot of "carebear" pilots involved in some form of PvP (and possibly interested in further PvP activity) and all this together definitely made the world feel much more alive again. |

Battle of Caldari Prime should definitely be in there. Ever since I started flying back in YC 111 (2009), the Shiigeru was up above Luminaire VII, and I swore one day I would destroy it. Well, we did (how are those medals coming, by the way?)!
A number of players also did medical supply collections for Luminaire VII in the aftermath of the battle. I believe Jandice Ymladrice was running one, in addition to her biosphere project.
PIE Ball and Federation Day held on the same day, definitely.
Gallente vs. Minmatar battle in Colelie/Deltole (sic) was a first in a long time, I think...
Perhaps mentioning a major war, such as Goonswarm vs. TEST Alliance in null-sec over the summer, when TEST lost all of its territory and found themselves enlisting in the Caldari militia as a result.
Battle of Asakai, definitely, as being the largest battles in history.
Loss of $334B Revenant, too.
Hmm...Gallente interdiction into Caldari territory might bear some mentioning...
As of course, the PLEX For Good event for the Icelandic Red Cross!
Recommendations:
-bring back the Jukebox!
-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)
-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)
-less focus on graphics, more on mechanics |

On a different note, I think there were important lessons to learn from live events so far.

In terms of Player events the vast majority have already been mentioned...all well run affairs. I should also mention Paradoxes opening of their colony on their wormhole planet Origin which entailed a event held over 3 days in the form of a camping trip.
In terms of the CCP run Live Events, the smaller ones such as Haatamo, Colelie, New Caldari and others worked and felt far more immersive for the lore-player link then the larger better advertised ones such as the Battle of Caldari Prime or the disaster that was the last big one.
Also...shameless plug for more/any Amarr Events/News items...please.

Wasn't there an indentured service camp in Khanid space placed by PYRE? No link available, I'm lazy, but it caused an immense uproar in player fiction.
"I was dreaming once, and I dreampt of a world where I was nothing more than a biological fitting; a slave to the machine and crew, instead of the other way around. Don't you wonder at how easy it would have been for this scenario to happen, instead of how it actually unfolded?" |

Wedding shower for Lady Rin Kaelestria and of course the wedding between Lady Rin and Lord Esna Pitoojee and subsequent reception at the Court of Peers |
