We generally try to start sometime after DT, and then run for 8 to 12 hours.
based of course on my helper's schedules and my own, I will be taking off work on the 14th and will try to be there for most of the event.

It looks like you accepted the contract of 340+ BPC; mostly max runs, max research along with a handful of t2 type ships and equipment.
The fruit of 2+ years of work running / researching out of an NPC station in high sec. I tagged the name of the can with the real corp's name.
Ho - ho - he - he ---whoever gets those blueprints will be mining forever to use them all up.

Hi,
yes, the system has been decided since mid summer when we started getting ready for this year's event "behind the scenes" so to speak.
It will be announced later on today.

I was following the entire thing with great interest. You guys are awesome for organizing such an event. Kudos!
That said I can't ignore how disappointed I am for the system of choice. Why would you choose a system in one of the 4 major factions space?
Amarr Empire? Really. For every dude on the 'wrong' side of FW can't even fly in the system. You should have picked something neutral. I flew all the way there to only sit in the station. I guess Eve Christmas ain't for everyone :( |

So far the only impressive thing about this is its total lack of organization.
Events late not a little late like 5 hours late.
EU people probably wont get a chance at anything.
Pretty slow, but looks legit |

Thanks to all the hard work by Santa Spirit and his elves.
Without the sponsors this would not bring as many together, so a great word of thanks.

It's a lot of stuff to take there on this events.
Congrats Santa Spirit and all other that have put work to get this amazing event done.

I mean everything in this story with all due respect, so bear with me. I will also say that I thank everyone involved in this event for organizing it and
Long story short, so far the event has been both good and bad for me.
Now before you get mad and call me out or anything, let me explain.
My home is in Weld, 27 jumps from the system of the event. I made the trip to the system yesterday in my Caldari Shuttle, only took a half hour or so due to some gatecamps so not complaining there, I'm used to long trips.
When I got there I went to an NPC station, and after some clarification was quickly rerouted to the Fortizar. I then logged off for sleep and wouldn't be able to get back for another 14 hours or so.
When I logged back in I discovered that the scanning event was starting, and with only a shuttle I was struggling to try to get a scanning ship, however someone had already won by the time I got my ship.
So got a little frustrated over that.
But then, something happened that lifted my spirits! One of Santa's helpers gifted me a Svipul, and while I can't use one, I am glad for the isk that it could make me, because 40 mil is a lot for me right now.
And then the shuttle race was starting. Perfect! I already had a shuttle at the station that I traveled in to get here! So I waited a half hour and the race began.
It then became apparent to me just how unfair the race was. In my shuttle I was going at 575 m/s, along with a lot of the other new players. However many of the older players were reaching 600-625 m/s in their shuttles! While 25 m/s might not seem like a lot, it made a huge difference, as within 4 seconds they would go 100 meters farther than I would.
Of course I didn't win, and got a little mad over it.
Second race, same result. But at least it was pretty cool to see all those shuttles!
And then I really got mad. Prior to this I had signed up for the Omega PVP tournament, only being told it would take place in the near future and no time was set when I had settled down for sleep. Fast forward 15 hours, I had discovered that the event had already taken place without me.
Now I was pissed, I had mainly flown over here for that event specifically and I had missed it because of my scheduling. I was complaining constantly in local and I will admit, I was a bit of a jerk for a good half hour, and I apologize to anyone I might have insulted.
And then something happened that warmed my heart. Santa Spirit himself gifted my a rookie pirate ship, something I've always wanted to get my hands on!
That's when I figured out, Christmas isn't about getting gifts, Christmas is about showing kindness to others! And though I will not be able to donate financially (due to 8 mil isk wallet), I will go on from here with a positive outlook!
Merry Christmas everyone, and when your inner Grinch starts to lash out, take a deep breath for a second and step back from the situation and go in with a positive attitude!

Thanks for the input, it is appreciated and you are right, we were running a little behind today, there was a RL issue that arose right at the last minute and I had to tend to it, so instead of 17:00 getting the alphas ready, it was almost 19:00 before i was able to do so after that, things went pretty much to the original "time-frame", just a later start.
also, the elves kept the presents flowing pretty well in between times, so I am appreciative of their assistance.
Thanks again for the feedback and Merry Christmas.

Came online at 16:21
The Annual battle for the alpha was delayed .. by like 2 hours .. there was way too many Gallante alpha pilots so I didn't even get the chance to get into the fight.
So I had to wait it out doing nothing and staying in the station because there was a giveaway in the meantime and in order to get into that .. you needed to watch the Local chat that had around 150+ players in it constantly writing .. and even if you managed to get that .. you still needed to be in the top 20 fastest to react to be able to win .
After that an other long waiting was coming while the omegas was fighting at around midnight ..
Then there was an other Giveaway where you jsut had to be docked and they selected you sooner or later in trade and gave you something.
Affter that came the Ship Scramble event where half of the players could not even notice that it started .. once again because of the too much chatter in local . (There may have been more .. but I only noticed 1)
Then the final event .. the Race .. it was like 10 player racing and everyone else was just there for shows .. because there was no restriction other than you can only use a shuttle .. so for example an avarage Alpha clone could get max top speed of 575 m/s .. others got 600-650 .. and even more ..
There was 2 round in this race .. after the first round it was clear that there is no way you can catch up to those guys .. so i tried out something that I knew it gonna disqualificate me .. I bookmarked the first checkpoint and than warped out .. than back to the checkpoint .. than raced my way till the finish with a huuuge lead .. but still..they cought up with me at the finish line .. that's how much faster they were than the 90% of the other racers .. but it was not "unfair" they said...
So yeah .. 11 hours "wasted" not sure if it worth it or not but I hoped for something better that's for sure.
Still .. Thanks Santa and your helpers for this event. |

Thank you to Santa Spirit, all of Santa's helpers and all the people and corps who donated their time and assets to making this such a great event.
I, personally, went there to enjoy the banter and fun to be had in local chat and to watch the joy that was being spread around with the gift giving and the events.
I missed some of the beginning, but I caught several hours of the event and enjoyed chatting with folks in local quite a bit. It has been many years since I was part of one of these player hosted events and it was great to see so many pilots having a good time.

You were a petulant child, stomping your feet and screaming at the top of your lungs because you didn't get what you wanted and you, personally, ruined the end of the event for me. I, frankly, wanted to pod you... repeatedly.
Santa Spirit is a much better pilot than I - I would have left you nothing but carebear tears for your actions and wouldn't have given you jack. |
