Now in my humble opinion I think that for the first show this was a very good show and having been on live television before and filmed with other crews I can tell you that the productions values are far better than some other projects I have been involved in.
As to the comments someone made referring to me as "that girl" or "girl" I cant quite remember who suggested we should be trained in presenting...well if you want to see just point blank training coming across then that is your choice. Yes I was nervous, how would you be put in front of the camera as yourself for the first time? Furthermore, I "um" and "ah" in my every day life when I am dealing with new subject matter, please do remember that myself and my co presenters are dealing with a new and complicated game. Generally if I am talking about a subject that I don't know much about with someone who is clearly very passionate about that subject then I am very careful with what I say to them which displays itself in my speech e.g "Um" and "ah". Have you watched other programmes that you have paid for with your TV license and watched how many times the presenters stumble because believe me they do and even presenters with a great deal of training will falter in their first few shows.
It is all very well to give criticism but I would never put forward criticism about something unless I had done the job and considered that I had done that job better than the person I was criticizing. No one has been asked to pay for EVE TV this week so why the scathing criticism....a pilot is just that and everyone has worked extremely hard over the last two weeks with some feeling their way in a job they have not previously done. Please take a step back and realize how hard all these jobs are and that this is not a grand scale BBC or ITV set up. This show has been created by fans of EVE for fans of EVE that means you, people have done what they feel is right and best, the show will develop but give it time people and support.

Moreover, we are "presenting" not "acting" they are two very different disciplines...I trained as an actress and not to blow my own trumpet (I think thats the expression) but I am a very good one. I do hope that I can live up to your standards and I am a perfectionist at heart and a caring soul so I am sorry if my rant seemed a little harsh. I often sit at my TV screaming (generally at David Tennant playing the Doctor - but sometimes in angst at something going wrong) but hey things are never perfect in life and it is my feeling that sometimes TV programmes and theatre programmes cant help but reflect this after all real people make it...I just know how hard the team has been working this week often without sleep and they are really great guys WELL DONE AND THANK YOU (now get some sleep)
SoulBlythe I thought we made babies not puppies or as my Mother explained it Birds and Bees....I am not sure do we make all these things...I will put it on my to do list  ... ((((SoulBlythe)))

Hello again. My co presenters and I have had the benefit of being spoken to by some veteran players of EVE as well as being filmed during the New Player experience. I appreciate and accept your comments/concerns but EVE is a huge game and there are many different factions within the world e.g stories/alliances etc that it may take days and days to explain. I am sure that there are still players that have been playing for a considerable amount of time that would still find it hard to entirely understand or know about everything that goes on in EVE for example this forum is filled with information but it takes time to go through it and its hard when new stories crop up. I am and was doing at the player meet the best I could on limited knowledge. I love playing EVE and it was a pleasure to interview and come into contact with people who were so very passionate about the game, my passion if not my knowledge I am sure equals that of many players new and old alike.
I hope in time to be as knowledgeable about EVE as other players and believe me I am working hard to get there. Furthermore, it is very hard to break a habitual life habit...I spoke to someone I live with who commented "Yes you do um and ah alot" strangely I dont appear to do that when I play a role. I think I do it just to let people know I am taking in and processing what they are saying...it may be the little bits I have picked up from psychologists who frequently um and ah a lot lol (not me seeing a therapist btw but me observing one) hmmm on the subject I could see how that could be rather irritating now...I shall work on it (((EvilEden)))

Cheers Stevie...I at the risk of sounding girly I love your hair!
I did forget to say thank you for the kind comments they are very much appreciated, my overall response has been a very friendly one and a very helpful one, I log in as much as I can to the game to play and I look forward to chatting to great deal of you who I have come to know and love over the past few weeks. I am I hasten to add a gamer who had just never played EVE before and I am grateful for the introduction. I very much enjoyed the players meet and was well looked after by many players. Sorry if my posts seemed a little overly sensitive, I love the game and don't wish anyone to think that I am doing this for any other reason other than I love the game and the community and that grows everyday.
Hmmmm togas sounds fun! Maybe I could have an EVE 24hr marathon for my 25th and all must where togas and eat grapes!

Thank you for the kind comments I have received on this thread its appreciated and from the majority of the community I have received a positive welcome. Thanks to those of you that have given me support in game, on myspace and also on various chat channels and other EVE forums.
Let me just state this again I am a VOLUNTEER, I did not train as a presenter either but then neither did Spiral when he first started. Also please feel free to step into my shoes, I believe that there is a volunteering thread on this forum. This job is not easy and many other presenters train at broadcasting schools and the like to get professional and they still stumble. No I am not over sensitive, I am rightly upset because I volunteered my time in good faith to do something I enjoy and something that I thought was good and now I have people making comments about me being "eye candy" which I assure you cannot be further from the truth.

Hi Dulsang, no offense taken . My banter with Spiral and co was just that....I seriously and believe me I really mean this do not think I am pretty at all but I like to respond to things wittily. I am learning the game slowly and surely, in fact I am finding it seriously addictive and have stopped playing all other games! I can understand totally why you would have been confused and I understand the need to make points about things your paying for as well...I am the first one to stand up shout and wave my stick when I think somethings wrong.
It would be a naive assumptions in my part to assume that I can learn everything in an instant, I certainly cannot but I am hoping that other kind players such as the guys in T.H.E.M and EVE University will help guide me along.I have spent nearly everyday playing EVE. I am I must stress very grateful to be a part of EVE and the community too! ((((Dulsang)))) no hard feelings.
btw I have been blogging some of my experiences of EVE if anyone is interested?
As for training, I am wandering off in August to train at as school that will give me camera techniques so we shall see...
