I guesse God wasnt happy for that
So NOPE
How very contradictory, killing of animals is not a sin, ignoring the plight of your fellow man is.
Besides I don't think this one was God, since there were Quakes across the pacific and into North America yesterday (Queen Charlotte Islands BC Canada) Seems more like the North American Plate rubbed up on the Eurasian Plate which shook Asia, and caused a compression rebound in NA.
Then again im neither a religious expert or a geologist. |

*prepares for barrage of rotten tomatoes*
EVE is also populated by a community of people, a community that has several times in the past come together to make a large sum donations to the Icelandic Red Cross for various natural disasters. IIRC PLEX for Good has provided in the neighborhood of 350K USD since its inception.
If you choose to donate to a charity on your own, that is great, but the PLEX for good program was designed and exists for situations just as this, and our community has and will hopefully continue to step up to the plate.
And i suppose there is some selfishness in going through PLEX for good, and not a private donation. It shines a positive light on our community, one that is typically displayed as a cut throat environment full of psychopaths and sycophants. Not to mention not many charities accept ISK as a donation(none?). |

With regards to isk being used, in the end it is still all converted to $ and then taken out of the game, and out of CCPs budget.
Well CCP donates on behalf of the community to the Icelandic Red Cross, so its still going into the hands of the folks who are experienced in dealing with relief provisions.
The isk isn't taken from the game, it works exactly like buying PLEX from the market does ordinarily, instead of consuming that PLEX for personal use, it is contracted to "someone from CCP" and then I imagine destroyed. The money comes from people seeding PLEX to the market, and yes this ultimately results in CCP using some of its profits (not budget) as a donation on behalf of the community.
Hope this helps clear up the process! |
