I didn't see anything, and I would have thought there would be an 'Easter Surprise' thread going if we did get presents.
Perhaps we could celebrate some other events, like Chinese new year, with 100 units of noodles for a noodle launcher or something. I know we've missed chinese new year, but you see what I mean.
Perhaps some presents relating to other RL cultural events, not just Christmas. :-)

we could also make ignorent racist people KOS anywhere, and you would be on the list.
Stop stereotyping, makes you appear to be a racist...and that is worse then any isk/gold farming done by anyone anywhere it he world.

I saved my snowballs and shooters. I think they are nice little collectibles (like the frozen corpses I have). May not be worth much, but I take pleasure in having them. --------------------------------------------------

Although I agree the comment was probably unneccesary, it is true that most of the macroers are Chinese. To hold this against all Chinese people would be racist, but its really not racist to say that most macroers are Chinese. Because they are.

Right! Because there's no such thing as a Chinese ISK farmer!
It would be terribly racist to observe that the guy from China selling 400M bundles of ISK on eBay might be a Chinese ISK farmer, even though he is in China and is selling ISK. - - - - - "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance." - Sam Brown |

that is why I said "appear to be a racist" and not call him one outright. stereotyping and racist attitudes are more of a problem then isk farmers (oh we all KNOW that no one in USA farms isk, heck, no one in the UK would do it, never, it would NEVER happen, it is only the Chinese...sure sounds silly huh?)
you want to kill isk farmers, then go for it, by all means!
DO NOT make it into a racism issue by stereotyping and pointing fingers at one nationality.

Not in the game, they're not. ISK farming has an impact on the game's economy and affects the value of your currency and what it can buy.

yes, my 120million now buys a raven and insurance, not just the raven. on the other hand, philosophy has lead to a lot of players being griefed (miners in high sec, chinese players) simply because of what they are ingame.

You can't even begin to make anyone believe that's because of isk farmers - unless you get that money by buying it off eBay.

Hey now... the prevailing defense is that "you can't tell those farmers are Chinese". So how are people being griefed for their nationality? No one has any way to tell that unless the player discloses it.
Even being bad at English doesn't make one surely Chinese - just take a look around at these forums. There are plenty of people who speak their native tongue as poorly as if it were a second language. - - - - - "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance." - Sam Brown |

yes, but these people are griefed on the basis that they are ISK farmers. If i beat someone up for being black but they are asian, doesn't stop it being a rascist assault. People with chinese names who speak perfect english are having problems, and people who can't speak english very well, but may not be chinese are having problems. How does this stop it being philosophy causing the issues?

Seriously, I don't begrudge other people snowballs, I mean have fun with them if you like, but that's not why I play EVE.

I find that funny, but the mods probably won't. You're just BEGGING for a warning, dude.
As for Chinese ISK farmers, stop swinging the racism stick around every time people include the word "Chinese" in their posts. People whine about Americans being stupid, lazy, fat, imperialist, whatever all the time and nobody screams RACIST! Like it or not, when people run into one Chinese-speaking macroer after another, and then reads news articles about Chinese currency-farming operations, they're going to talk about the farmers being Chinese.
Seriously, let Chinese people stand up for themselves on the forums on the basis of the ARGUMENT itself, not by accusing the poster of having an "unacceptable" viewpoint.
Hell, even if a poster IS racist, it has ZERO affect on whether his statements are right or not. An argument is an argument, regardless of who it comes from. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Characters are going to have Asian names, considering that every race in the game has an Asian bloodline.
That's not a matter of philosophy, that's just the unfortunate side effect of the law of averages. Until CCP gives an IQ test to all subscribers, fully half of them are going to be of below-average IQ. - - - - - "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance." - Sam Brown |

racist comments have NO place in the forums, PERIOD.
Next time you have an issue with people 'attacking' you without just cause, just because they dislike your 'type', remember what you said, and tell everyone to let YOU defend YOURSELF.

well illd just like to point out after looking at the first 3 pages on eve bay, the main companys selling isk: 1 came from china, 1 from honk kong, 1 from canada, 1 from USA, 1 from UK, 1 from germany
so its a rather stupid stereotype, and racism of all types have no place in eve, the forums or ingame...if you want to run around wearing a white sheet burning cruicifixes...by all means do that in RL...leave it out of eve (and yes as you people are so keen on critisising people on a stereotpye...i thought i would join in to) _____ This is a Stain Alliance Fighter.
