This is a great initiative. Hopefully not frowned upon by CCP, since I think this falls quite nicely into the Journalism category. I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

It's admittedly kinda buried in the Kickstarter page, but I've spoken with Torfi and Thor at CCP about the project and they've been nothing but supportive.
They were clear that this is independent journalism, and they have no problem with it. We both also agreed that CCP cannot and should not be involved in approving or editing content in the book. They even offered to help me get in touch with difficult-to-reach ex-players! |

Seconding this question.
Will the great financial scams of the last decade be cataloged? As a trader, those have much greater appeal to me than 0.0 warfare. |

I'm keeping this focused on nullsec in the interest of clarity and consistency. That said, I'm certainly not opposed to discussing other regions if it has an impact that radiates into nullsec. |

he stated that he already talked to ccp and they are supportive, but again a blue tag would be nice to confirm.

Thanks for the kinds words, all.
To quickly clarify, I had a meeting with Torfi and Thor a couple months back just to make them aware of the project. They told me that they view this as independent journalism, and have no interest in this being a legal matter.
They offered to draw up really basic contracts allowing the use of copyrighted images and whatnot sop there's nothing to worry about there. With that said, all of us agree that CCP's involvement in this had to be the absolute minimum (the minimum basically being them saying, "s'all good. Do your thing.") And that they absolutely can't be involved in editing or approving content. |

Locked. While this might be Eve related, the forums are not an advertisement board.
I would also advise you to get in touch with CCP via support ticket as this project may run into intellectual property rights issues. If CCP decide to endorse it, they can also override my lock at a later time, but until then, no advertising here.
Edit: just saw the comment about having already talked to CCP about IP rights. Never mind. Advertising RL products for RL money is still not allowed though.

Yeah let's stay away from discussing over zealous thread locking and discuss how awesome this book will be.
To the author:
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I haven't backed your kickstarter. The reason for this is I heavily disapprove of kickstarter on the grounds that so many projects just swallow up people's money.
However, if this book is produced and sold, I will definitely purchase a copy of it. "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." - Niccolo Machiavelli |

I think the massive amounts of hype and money thrown at certain other internet spaceship related projects without reasonable expectations of delivery have left a sour taste in many peoples mouths regarding kickstarter.
But I'm glad this book is being made and I will buy it.  |

Sorry for the delayed reply, all. It's been a crazy week as this project just passed 300% in under a week. Keeping up with it is more than a full-time job.
Thanks for unlocking the thread, LoF. If it matters at all, I actually wasn't the one to post the link.

I don't take it the wrong way. I fully understand and appreciate the concerns that people have with Kickstarter, and I don't blame you. That said, I obviously hope I can convince you to become a backer before the end of the campaign. And if not, then I'll work hard to make sure the final version is something you'll find worthy of picking up. :-)
I'm already hearing from a ton of people who I had trouble contacting previously, and now have interviews-at-a-later-date scheduled with SirMolle, Kugutsumen, MisterVee, Darius JOHNSON, delegates from the Russian factions, and reps from half a dozen other major nullsec groups past/present like IAC, Curse, and -A-. Really excited to dive back into interviewing and research. |

I'm interested to see the take on the FIX alliance... since I was part of it (not a big part like others out there) from the beginning I want to see how the info is reported.
Many know the true story but then many others painted FIX alliance in a different light.... I want to see which way it goes. |

It won't be a "take on", it will be as unbiased as possible depending on what info is available and which people we can get a hold of. The more interviews and other sources are available, the closer to the truth Andrew can get.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all... |

And its not just a hard cover on the original version. It's larger format, with space for extra content, like asides, backstories, cool tangents and so on.
Not surprisingly, the total has swiftly cruised past 500% of the original target.
Andrew has now brought on board four team members: two editors, a designer and an artist. I really hope his project- and people-management skills match his writing and research talents.

Less than 2 days to go on this kickstarter. As of now, about 730 have pledged for the hardcover, which means it will be about twice as rare as EVE Source: Limited Edition, and only a third of the price.  |
