Many of you saw the Playmate of the Year story in which we made references to Pann being an overweight cop. This story was written to entertain and I want to publicly apologize to Pann if she was hurt or offended by it.
I have dealt with Pann personally in the past and she was always very helpful and understanding. In no way would I want to offend her. We thought it was all in fun and nobody had any idea it would be taken personally. Pann, although I did not write the story, I am terribly sorry if it upset you.

I didn't think so either, especially since the story references a fictional character (Pann) and not the person who plays her. Plenty of people poke fun at Heff, but I (the real person) take no offense.
But you never know what people are sensitive about. Better safe than sorry.

Might have been a good idea to get her permission beforehand.
Any embarrassment could've been avoided at that point.

Yes. I have spoken to Pann conveying our apologies. We will in the future leave CCP and associates out of all our RP.

Please include Kozak and Nacos in your next role play. They are both stupid and enjoy being made fun of.

Hmm, you guys get a news item about picking an avatar, yet my war on mining gets no mention - so much for RP? Hell, I even have a nemesis (Admiral Iceblock)

What hapenned -- did Pann get mad or something? Why on Earth would anyone be upset at anything in that story? Unless Pann is a person's real name, and unless Pann is an overweight police officer who eats doughnuts, then what's the problem? These are characters in a story. Perhaps you need one of those disclaimers:
Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is unintentional and purely coincidental.

Joking aside, it was fiction, meant to entertain, and was never meant to offend anyone. If I could erase it all and the memory that it ever existed, I would do it in a heartbeat.

The problem is that Pann(the character) doesn't look much like an overweight cop. That makes it a personal insult to either the person or the character, both of which have godlike powers here and in game. Not a generally good idea.
Hence, some CYA from Heff. Or maybe I'm just a cynical bastard.(being raised Caldari will do that to you)

Clearly, she looks nothing like a large cop, which makes the whole thing seem silly.
If I were a booger-faced pimply teenager and someone called me a fat cop, I'd laugh. If they called my a pimply-faced booger head, I'd be upset (the truth hurts much more than a silly jest). So since she is nowhere near the police officer in the story, it seems harmless. Ahhh heck, I dunno anymore. I'm a sorry dip**** nonetheless.
