Cipher Jones 108	Posted - 2011.11.15 17:25:00 - [1] - Quote CCP did not shut down on October 28th when their loan was due, as predicted by many armchair financial analysts. It was even said that I was trolling the issue by some. Thanks for the lols. Especially you FHC losers. See what happens when fat neckbeards try to ride little ponies? The ponies die.

Accepting your flaws is what maturity is about, and denial only- Oh, wait, you mean in relation to the original post. I'm saying that jumping up and down going "Haha the accountants are dumb" is a somewhat short sighted remark when you consider that, actually, CCP did take a nasty hit. It didn't kill them, but it hurt them enough that perhaps we shouldn't be cheering with glee and schadenfreude at the naysayers, because those naysayers were, at least in part, correct.

Indeed, you are both a gentleman and a scholar kind sir

Show me a link to one single naysayer who said CCP should lay people off before it happened. Otherwise, they were not "in part" correct. In college and jobs they have a word for partially correct. "Incorrect". See what happens when fat neckbeards try to ride little ponies? The ponies die.

A) you were armchair analysing along with the rest of the people in this thread. 2) the common consensus in the thread was that not that Eve would die off, but that they'd probably need to cut either WoD or DUST 514 production. Which indeed they did do. D) You probably are trolling the issue.

No, because it's not relevant. There were people suggesting that CCP was in financial trouble. In that sense, they were pretty clearly correct given that CCP recently laid off 20% of their staff.
Jenshae Chiroptera 188	Posted - 2011.11.15 18:04:00 - [15] - Quote CCP lays off 20% of staff. People ask why? Arm chair accountants suggest it is to get through the financial review. Looks like it worked. Ideas and CSM stuff -áNo matter the changes, high sec people don't want to be in null sec with its players. EVE, like intercourse, you do a lot of work and buying expensive things - only to have a few minutes of excitement.

To say that another group said something similar is the definition of irrelevant. Sorry for the double post, forum devs were the first to go.
