Edited by: Chribba on 03/09/2007 16:23:58 2007.09.03 16:03 Hi, Your corporation owned a large ship assembly array in high security space. As it is not intended for these arrays to be available in high security, they are now being removed. As such, the array has been unanchored, and the Rorqual in production (due 2007.09.09 12:07) has been canceled. In order to retrieve the ship, please file a stuck petition after this point and we will give you the ship in a low security empire system of your choosing. We apologise for the inconvenience. The EVE Online Customer Support Team
I was soooo looking forward to having my high-sec Rorqual for my private Veldspar needs 
And so this is the end of my Capital Veldspar Fleet.   
Help me help you. |

I remember him posting his bandwidth costs at some point, and they were astronomical. Chribba deserves special treatment, its as simple as that. Nobody else even comes close to what he has done. The guy is paying for all of us.
CCP knows this to be true. Give the man his high sec veldspar machine.

They might be called out of game actions if they had nothing to do with the game. But they're tools and resources that he provides are next to indispensable for many players in-game play. We (all those who have voiced in favor and I am sure that there are many more) think that this would be a fitting in-game reward for the vast improvement that he has made to our in-game experience.

Look. Anyone who puts up a gigantic file sharing service which costs them a huge amount of money JUST so they can help the community and CCP promote the game deserves special treatment.
What if this post would have been about closing down eve-files? It would be a really huge loss to the community. Sharing eve files in a easy to use manner helps the game grow.
Besides, the PR would be very good if ccp did this. It shows that they really appreciate the work of one very special hard working individual. Out of several hundred thousand eve players, this guy stands as #1 when it comes to creating highly needed services that are free for everybody to use.
I dont see any harm in allowing him to mine veldspar with a capital ship in high sec.

There is certain level of scale here. Eve-files alone probably cost a fortune to maintain. If you care to look around a little more, you will see how much he has given to the community and how little he has taken. Your arguement, does not seem to reflect the voice of the community general.

Well some one has to post a counter arguement to GIVE ME MAH VELD. So the guys that went out and ran the numbers to find out what the mission percentages were they should get something to as that is a "great" service to the community as seen by X characters bio. The EvE wiki guys should all get special gifts because they do a "great" service to the community by finding the true sec systems, npc resists and damage types + tons of other data.
If you give one fansite owner something they all must get it regardless of who is chucking money at what.

Sure, true, but im a bit tired of the really productive and helpful people not getting anything for it because everything has to be so fair all the time. It doesnt matter what a guy does, showing him some appreciation is favorism.
The favorism in this case is not uncalled for.

No. There is no counter arguement required. Many of us feel that this would be a suitable reward for all that Chribba has done. Our statement of this believe obviously has no effect on your opinions. Nor does your arguements about favoritism have any effect on our support of Chribba. You are welcome to your opinion, as are we.
Whether or not CCP will give Chribba this ship or not is up to them.
I will just voice my support for giving Chribba this one last addition to the legacy of the Veldnaught.

I think we should have a Compromise CCP.
Chribba has done so much for the community.
Reanchor his shipyard and allow this last capital to finish there in high sec. When completed unanchor the shipyard.
It would be a nice jester to someone who has given so much to the community. (And really is much cheaper than if you had to pay for all the services he provides)

No need to reanchor the shipyard. Just spawn the ship on the proper date, or before then if the GM's don't want to revisit the issue in a week.
I see no problem with letting the current batch of high sec capital ships being completed in their current location. We already have capital ships in high sec, what is a couple more.

I agree its high-time they unanchored the high-sec large ship assemblies, but ffs CCP.
Chribba deserves to have it. Hell I think he deserves some type of super-jovian mining platform. Don't listen to children like Captain Internet, everyone thats not blind can see that Chribba is an irreplaceable asset to EvE. I mean come on man, he never ask for anything for all the hard work he puts into the community of EvE, so I think if he wants his roraqual (sp?) give it to him.

Slight favoritism that isn't game unbalancing and simply aids in creating a better community for players greater than most average MMO communities is good.
Chribba has spent and continues to spend a lot of money on the hosting with eve-files which has been a massive community builder.
He deserves a high sec Rorqual.

when his dread was made in high sec it was within legitimate game mechanics to do so.
the fact of the matter is that the rules were changed in RMR and it's due to a exploit or whatever (as construction yards aren't allowed in high sec anymore) as he should not of had the option to build it.

Originally by: Captian Internet So every one loves him that is understandable but giving him an in game reward for out of game actions is unjustified and shows blatant favoritism which is bad in a pr standpoint
They might be called out of game actions if they had nothing to do with the game. But they're tools and resources that he provides are next to indispensable for many players in-game play. We (all those who have voiced in favor and I am sure that there are many more) think that this would be a fitting in-game reward for the vast improvement that he has made to our in-game experience.
He made a fansite and a search tool. If that is the case then every one who makes a fan site needs to get something in game.
A fan site?
Aside from EVE Search (phenomenally useful search tool), EVE Files (hosting 99% of all the EVE images, screenshots, videos, forum signatures, and resources that exist), free hosting for EVE corporate websites, Podbase (sadly not around at the moment, but a pioneer of EVE killboarding), the Agent Finder (incredibly useful), EVE Videos and a server monitor, he also leaps in to fill any gap that CCP ever leave in their service within moments of them making the announcement. For example, when CCP announced that they were closing the market forums (idiotic decision that thankfully has been suspended for a long time), within about 5 posts Chribba had set up a replacement.
All of which he does for free, and personal expense and effort.
When someone contributes that much to any community, they deserve some recognition. And not just from the players- recognition from the Devs whose game he relentlessly help out, should show some love too.
Saying "no favouritism" is a bit like a General coming to a heroic soldier, having valiantly and through great self sacrifice achieves some immensely important feats, and saying "Well we would reward you with a medal and a lucrative retirement, but that'd kinda be showing you some favouritism which might upset some of the other soldiers. But please do keep working hard for us!".
There's "favouritism" and there's showing some gratitude.
Anyhow, Rorqual or no, I fully support the "Statue of Chribba" proposal  ------

I disagree. I think that everything unique should be removed from Eve and then all items and types of gameplay balanced to be even across the board so that there is nothing that is overpowered or underpowered.
Btw, this is exactly how it happens in the real world and I feel eve should reflect it.
 
I actually thought something like this would happen. Funny how they can remove this but cant get rid of the armies of hauler mission running macro/farming alts that everyone is complaining about. Chribbas high sec ship array was way more important to get rid of then the people ruining the eveconomy. Way to go CCP, as usual you work on the crap that doesn't need it and leave the stuff that really affects the game for another time.
btw, did I have enough sarcasm up there or do I need more of these     ? -----------------

As Chribba: - Has given an immense amount to the Eve community - Is one of the few 'true neutral' pilots in Eve - Has an almost legendary love for Veldspar
CCP should unanchor his shipyard, but spawn the Rorqual in its place.

Although the issue with unanchoring the hi-sec LSAA's os understandable it should have been done alot sooner if it where an big issue (right on the notice that anchoring them in hi-sec is no longer possible, not how long has it been afterwards).
I would be pretty sure chribba would be showing off the industrial mode to new players (hint hint very awesome ccp publicity machine ... think off the impressed new players!). Now who will see it? - People in lowsec - People who own one / can afford one - 0.0 corps / alliances
Who will not see it? - Everyone that doesnt want to be bait for lowsec pirates under an possible claim off an rorqual showing - People who cant loose anything because of low isk and therefore dont leave hi-sec
Im sure alot of new players would be very amazed by seeing motherships, titans, carriers and dreads and now the capital industrial ship Unfortunately they will only see a few of these and most likely on the bullet recieveing end and have no time to really look at it and be impressed but rather hate them.
On the other end chribba has given so much which cannot be compared to anyone else. Only a small selection of what he gives: - eve search (better search engine for these forums) - eve files (host your images & video's related to eve) and there are many more. When i see what is hosted on eve-files alone and look at what the bandwidth would be i can imagine its an very big bill to foot for a person and he does it without expectations from ccp whatsoever (thats true love for a game). Additionally he also spends money to invest into new / better hardware and really delivers on his promises.
Long story short: i would vote for chribba getting some little unique thing like the rorqual. If it is an issue he would use things ccp dont want to be used (mineral compression, super bonusses etc) change it so it cant do that but make it able to come into and go out of industrial mode because that is just truely awesome to see.

Seriously, I'm a pretty laid back gamer. People who are new to the game, people who don't visit the forums, people who only stay for the trial. Most everyone from these rather 'unexposed' groups, knows Chribba's name.
The man is one of the game's icons.
It's not favoritism, it's just rewards.
Seriously, people who don't know or care about things like BoB and what not, and they still know of Chribba. That's the kind of presence and impact the guy has on this game.

Chribba does/has done a lot for the eve community but CCP shouldn't make an exception.
I'm pretty sure if CCP rewarded hard working ISD/CCP people with capital ships in hi-sec systems, people would scream blue murder. I'm pretty sure the volunteers especially work their arse off far more than you can imagine for no reward...should we give all of them cap ships in amarr?

Why can't he be the only one with a high sec Rorq? I know, it might cause angry shouts of favourism, but ... it is Chribba!!
Maybe he can have a test ship. And since he has grown a huge reputation, ORE could have decided to study their new ship in an controlled and secure environment, so that would explain the uniqueness of this high sec ship

If CCP are unwilling to show their immense thanks to the almighty Chribba, perhaps the community should take it upon themselves?
I present to you my idea; "Veldathon 2007"!
We get as many people as possible into Amarr (weekend probably best?), and mine veld till there is no more veld to mine! all Veldspar mined to be donated to the incredible Chribba!
I'm sure he could do with a few more billion veld :)

In game compensation for out of game stuff is not really right, and I am not sure if this should be an exception because of EVE-files or EVE-search. However in my mind there is another very compelling reason for letting Chribba keep his dread and also get that Rorqual.
The fact that a well known and trusted person owns a capital ship or two in high-sec allows newer players to go there and see the big ships for themselves. Otherwise the only view many players would get of capitals is a short glimpse before they are ganked by a carrier or mothership by a low sec gate.
Imagine yourself how massive a dread must look to the average month-old player! I remember the first time I saw a battleship a long way back and it was huge and awe-inspiring. Now think of how much bigger a dread is for the new player! Maybe seeing the massive ship gives that player something to aim for and a goal in the game.
So I say let Chribba have his ships, not because of some out of game reasons but because of the in game stuff it contributes to. --- My other ship is a Reaper

im with Trek on this one. Give new players a chance to see the "endgame" content. I remember seeing the first bs in 2003/4 and the excitement it created amongst my friends to chase an armagedon or an apoc to see this beauty move in highsec.
Chribba has done alot for the community and while i agree that alone doesnt justify a special treatment youve also add into the equasion that bringing in new players was rewarded with ingame items not too long ago aswell while helping the existing playerbase and supporting ccp on many shortcomings from chribba was not rewarded (yet).
Chribba is famous for his veldnought and i doubt that a rorc would imbalance all of eve in one day, especially in the hands of someone who has the least intention to exploit it in any way or form and just wants it for a laugh.
Let him build his ship elsewhere and move it to amarr. Make a cute event out of it where the pie guys can parade in their shiny armors and alot of newbies can see a deepspace vessel pull into port of the throneworld station.

CCP, you annoy me to no end with your disregard for the player base, really!
Allow Chribba his Rorgual in Amarr. His Veldnaught has been a fixture there for a long time. Its a tourist attraction for new pilots, and is part of the rich "urban" lore of eve. Chribba's prescence in cap ships, mining in Amarr is a part of this game. -- http://www./sigs/Treelox/sig.png [orange]signature removed (change the zombie gagging sig) - please email us (with the signature URL) if you want to know why - Pirlouit([email protected] |

In that thread part way down you can clearly see him stating "they would stay", that they would be grandfathered in, but just that no new ones would be allowed. Some preceived this as a slight, that others had this "special feature" but never did they address the issue that this was available to anyone who had the desire to anchor a tower in hi sec, pre-December (kali?)

complete and utter fubish for ccp to do a 180, the actual ammount of shipyards was getting smaller and smaller due to people searching them out and blowing them up. Over time the problem would of been solved by the actual gaming community.
As it is now all large ship assymbly arrays in emprie have been offlined and unanchored, materials in the hanger are moved to the closest corp office of the owner of the pos and all jobs will be delivered to the nearest low sec station. That being said CCP has once again changed thier stated position on a subject that was covered in nov of 2006. For those of you thinking the high sec Rorq is a expliot need to read the link in the quotes above, all Large arrays already up were granfathered in.

As the owner of another high-sec Phoenix that wasn't a LSAA product I vehemently disagree with this. It's not like there are ever going to be more cap ships in high-sec, so I don't think any of us would like it if CCP were taking away any of our toys.

I have seen one capital on TQ, a Thanatos-class Carrier in Inari. It had apparently just been picked up, and the owner was jumping it out to lowsec. It was a rather impressive ship.
There is a place for major (non-exploit related) changes to production mechanics (like, say. . . the end of highsec cap production).

Not a petition, but rather an ingame mail from the game master team informing him of the removal of his LSAA and offering to spawn the nearly completed ship in a lowsec system of his choice.
I am pretty sure that every highsec LSAA holder got a similar mail on that day.

I fully endorse this thread. Chribba has proven he can act responsibly with high sec capital assets and he is both a symbol as well as a highly valued member of the EVE community. He deserves the distinction of a Roqual. Now why he would want a ship that can't be used to mine directly with i wouldn't know (AFAIK the ship can not mount mining lasers, just support modules and tractors), but still he deserves something special as the king of Veldspar.

i think ccp does the right thing, the ship was not meant in high sec and thus they did what they did,
no matter how and so it cant be fair if some can get a unique ship like that in high sec and other ppl will be denied, its either all or none so if chribba gets a Rorqual in highsec all who wants one there should be allowed. pretty simple u cant let some ppl get a favour over other like this.
flame me away ppl!

THIS is what you get for causing CCP to U-Turn on the sales forums. Payback is a *****.

I say Eve has 2 problems at the moment - so it is only appropriate to remove both at once. The Ammarr Roleplaying community needs an emperor - we have Chibbra who is know for having his Veldnaught in Ammarr. I say we make him the Emperor of the Ammarr empire - and as such give him his designated imperial flagship - the Chibbra issue Avatar - mining style. CCP - this man has done more for the game than ANY individual I can think of bar making the game itself, please let the icon of Eve have his iconic tools.

Chribba's a great guy I 'm sure. Honestly I never used EVE files and never worried about it dropping off the face of the Earth. If CCP wants to reward Chribba they can give him free subscriptions. Changing the rules of the game for one person is unacceptable.
The devs created the game, yet there was a huge outcry when it was perceived they helped a particular group of players. According to people's logic in this thread (contribution to EVE equaling allowed special in-game treatment), the devs should be able to give and do anything to anyone. If the devs aren't allowed to do this, neither is Chribba. It's the principal of the matter for the integrity of the game, I'm sure Chribba will be fine playing the game the same way everyone else has to.
In short, with nothing personal against Chribba, I vote no.

The first post even got edited by a mod. You should be ashamed of yourself for doing this to chribba. To the GM that started all this: YOU SUCK. To the mod that edited the post: YOU SUCK. CCP for not rewarding chribba for a service thats way better than yours: YOU SUCK EVEN MORE.
And you call yourself a caring company, you¦re lame tbh.

So Chribba mines in high sec? So he hosts a file sharing application. So what? He does it voluntarily, he doesnt have to. CCP isn't obliged to change anything for him in game. If you love Chribba and his applications so much, donate some money to him and/or his site. Furthermore, most of this thread is double standards. You all *****ed enough about BoB receiving help from a Dev, despite them being about since Beta and helping CCP massively with testing etc, but it's okay for Chribba just because you happen to see a post with 'most peope' posting their support and you mindlessly add your /sign. Luckily for the sane, CCP doens't make its decisions on 'most signed thread of the day'.

There are dozens of things ccp gave people as rewards, starting from snowballlaunchers everybody got cause of freaking christmas, or things like giving out freaking unique ships worth many billions cause of some event. Care to check how all the unique ships in the game came into it?
How big of a "rulebreak" is it to make a event where concord puts out a single license for chribba to jump a mining capital into highsec anyway? Following that logic every single event that handed out any kind of reward would have been some kind of rulebreak.
And dont give me that crap about favioritism and giving players stuff that other players cant get, i can never get a storm or imperial issue apoc either, my alliance also will never see the amount of events rp alliances have.
And last but not least, eve is a cruel harsh world. Not everybody is equal in such a world, people like chribba, sir molle, seleene, tyrrax thorrk and many other players will always stand above you until you archive similar feats, people being unequal is almost a feature of eve.
P.S. For all i care chribba could have a personal hotline to oveur, send petitions in per sms, and have kieron haul the veldspar he mines to the station for him in his free time. It still wouldnt affect any other player/alliance in the game, people have problems with ccp siding with a 0.0 entity that tries to take over the whole of 0.0, i doubt sensible people have as many problems with ccp siding with a single carebear in highsec that shows new players how you mine veldspar with a dreadnaught.

I remember why I don't really use the forums, it takes so damn long to read through a single thread!
Ok, here goes: 1) CCP said LSAAs would stay (Kaaii's post), doing a u-turn with zero notice is completely unfair to those with an LSAA. 2) Timing is appauling. If they didn't want the rorqual in high sec (a fair assumption given the decision at this exact time to unanchor the arrays), they should have damn well thought of that and made the change in the patch that introduced the rorqual. 3) Assuming that they screwed up and overlooked LSAA when adding the rorqual, they should at the obsolute minimum have given LSAA owners a fair degree of warning ahead of unanchoring their arrays. Or they could have allowed any current jobs to finish and stopped installation of any new jobs, then unanchored the arrays when all jobs were finished.
Bottom line: This was exceptionally poorly handled and I would expect better from a group of professionals.
I'm not going to add my voice to whether chribba should get special treatment or not, imo there is already far too much debate about that and far too little about the issue as a function of the wider game mechanics on this thread.... However....
Originally by: Frances Ducoir make an event out of this in which the community can decide wether chribba gets the rorqual or not...
i.e. rorqual must be escorted from 0.0 through high pirate infested region to amarr. player could decide to defend or attack it! pleaaaaaase.
This sounds like a really really fun idea!

Yes your so lucky, i cant imagine what horrible thing it would have been for your playing experience if ccp wouldnt have taken this action. Nothing anybody ever does is good enough to warrent special treatment to people like you it seems, everybody is equal, comon lets hand out a few faction BS to some random people nobody heard about before, thats so much better than giving a tiny bit of reward or showing some gratitude to someone who actually did something for eve and its players.
I seriously dont understand people, what is this bull**** with people being treated equally? Humans are equal, cats and dogs too i guess, but a company has every damn right rewarding a customer that has done something benifital to them in any way they feel like. And from a ingame perspective concord/amarr empire has every reason to allow a wellknown and respected podpilot like chribba the use of a harmless capital inside their borders, especially if they overlooked him using a military capital inside their homesystem for months.

Bloody hell CCP, what is wrong with you? You leave crap anchored all over high sec belts, but its Chribba's shipyard that you de-anchor?
I would not have minded them being disabled at patch. But the rorq has been in these yards from the moment the yard owners got the bps back to system. The owners had legitimate reason to believe that the grandfathering would continue under the existing rules (no pvp). Out of the blue strikes like this harm anyone and everyone with long term hopes for Eve.
Let 1 batch get out, then disable. Chribba was excited about a rorq in Amarr since it was on test server. You could have told him at any point in the last few weeks that it wasnt going to happen. He would have understood. But no, its more fun taking something away that someone thought they had.

Oh, and would Captian Internet and the guy with the isk farmer name just give it a rest, if you're just gonna ***** and moan (because it's not YOU that would be getting attention) then most of the people in this thread have no time for you. Go back to smacktalking in local somewhere.

We wouldnt need chribba¦s service if CCP could get its butts up. Fan submission page is broke for years, the movie hosting is poor and the video streams are worse than a ¦70 **** filmed in black&white. But he is doing CCPs work but do they reward him? Nooo.

You've expressed your dislike for the decision, and that's all you can do so please stop posting the same crap.

The unique ships came in via the alliance tournaments or some other competition, yes?
That being the case, then the prize was available in an event that any could enter (alliance tournaments have 16+ teams competing). They know what is at stake and everyone has the equal opportunity to get it. However in this case, a Rorqual for Cribba, it could be seen as favouritism to give him one because no one else has any opportunity to get it, it would be a gift solely for him.
Not that I'm against it, but it would be favouratism of a sort, even if it is backed by most of the community

this is not about chibb, though it effects him, this is not about his high sec veldnaught, though it will be the only one. This is about a stance that CCP took last november with the Rev 1 patch notes concerning large ship arrays at high sec pos's. There were a few that per ccp's own statement were grandfathered in, and the reversal of that desicsion without notice has had a devestating blow for a lot of people. At the very least the location of existing logistics and the materials that are now stranded many jumps away from where they can be use.
I am honestly sorry that chibb's ore ship is now where he does not want to use it, we all know that he wanted to zoom around high sec belts compressing for newer players and letting them have more fun while he had more fun, but that is never goign to happen now and sadly not due to any fualt of his own but to the corperation that he pays to play in thier game while he is thier best promoter.
This is a sad week for us because of you CCP, you have helped squash more hopes and dreams than any gate camp or outpost taking in the blink of an eye. If we truely wanted to be at the whim of a cruel taskmasters whip I think most of us would still be playing Yatzee with our older brothers who cheat.

First of all they were large ship assymbly arrays, they can produce dreads carriers frieghters as well as the new capital ore ship. Last november they told the community that no more large ship arrays would be allowed to be anchored in high security, and that all existing arrays would be grandfathered in. There were no exploits to be banned about, there were no rules broken.
The number of large assymbly arrays were fading due to corps breakign up and not fueling the pos, wardecs on pos owners, and people just up and removing them to go do other things. This was not a rampent issue at all but a handful of cases that while having a veldnaught in amarr is nice, anyone attacking or tanking concord or pvping at all in a capital got a free ride to low sec ship and all.

Just because he tried to pop out another super cap in empire dosen't entitle him to a gift. Has he done alot for the community.. sure.. of his own free will.
Has/does he deserve a reward for his services.. sure.. I believe he just received the EON award.. seems like CCP is thanking him there..
If he had successfully completed the ship.. I could understand letting him keep it.. But as the ship wasn't complete and he is getting it finished and delivered to the system of his choice.. I think he's gotten thanked enough.

it is a capital ship not a supercapital which would be a titan or mothership, since this only takes about a much minerals as a dread and has 1/30th the cost then this would fall in the capital ship line.

The original decision was to leave existing arrays anchored. CCP is free to change that decision, but owners should be given notice.
1. Re-anchor player arrays and start back up any manufacturing jobs. Give them a definite date a few weeks from now to allow them to change thier business model.
or
2. Give the man his Rorqual. Make it some sort of aurora event to work it into the story line. Maybe ORE hired him as their design consultant when producing the ship.
and
3. Create a new time of Veldspar. Chribban Ultradense Veldspar. Have it randomly spawn in small ammounts.

Give Chribba the Rorqual!
He is a living legend already.
Why cant he have an unique ship?? There are a few unique ships out there and no one cries 'unfair'. And I think no one deserves it more than Chribba. Without him Eve wouldn't be the same, actually I go as far as in saying that he has a good part in the commercial success of Eve!
Damn it! Do we really need a cold and inhuman game? I want laughter and anger, fear and joy and all the uproar of emotions. Not some cold and lifeless 'we apologize for any inconvenience, but we cannot do anything *zap*'. Eve lives from all these small and large legends and stories!! And Chribba with his Veldnaught is a HUGE legend.

No need to bother reading the entire thread... Chribba easily deserves the ability to build a single Rorq in highsec.
/signed
Let's review: in addition to his well-known OOG support encouraging a stronger Eve community as a whole, he contributes significantly to Eve's backstory through his ingame actions. He's the dude who -- regardless of how fat his wallet must be already -- spends time mining VELDSPAR in a DREADNAUGHT in an OVERPOPULATED (picked-over) system. This isn't about unfair advantage, it's about character.
CCP's rationale for allowing Devs to play the game they control is that it keeps them engaged with the community. That doesn't pass muster in a case like this, when whoever made the initial call clearly doesn't "get it." Kieron, this is your mess to clean up but at least it's an easy fix.

While the Rorq isn't a tanking powerhouse, it's not the fragile ship that the freighters are. It has 625k HP just in hull if you are counting a T2 damage control, and at least another 200k in shielding with a good omnitank. Especially in Amarr where Chirbba is(1.0), you'd have to really work at it to flatten a Rorq, especially now that drones aren't an exploitable option to attack ships. ---- AUS Corp Lead Megalomanic EVE Automated Influence Map: Keeping Down The Clone Business Since 2007AD |

Chribba has actually not only attracted many to eve, but made many stay, due to the community feel of eve. And lets face it - Eve would be different without chribba - and not for the better.
give Chribba a pink Rorqual!
I think Chribba is a great guy. Without chribba there is a likelyhood that someone else would step up and do much of what he does. I do think what he does is great to the community and he adds more to the game than ccp does in some areas.
I am not sure I would give Chribba a Rorqual unless I was willing for ccp to give everyone in high-sec who was producing one a Rorq. The largest question one must ask is simply "Why were these unachor'd"..
IMHO, LSAA's should be allow'd in High-Sec, and ccp should just put checks on those LSAA's to make sure they cant build ships that dont have permission for highsec. I have built many Carriers/Dreads in highsec and my intention was to build a few Rorquals as well but now (for what ever reason) ccp has changed their mind and removed this from the game.
Chribba wasnt the only one who got the shaft here.

No matter what you do, who you are, how much cash you dish out or become the admiration of thousands of fanbois...you're not over the rules. That's EVE.
So stop talking about a rule bending ship, and give ideas for a reward that is feasible, that has a story behind it, and something that's not rule bending.
Once mroe, no matter WHO you are, or what you do, you deserve no special treatment. Rewards, sure, as long as they keep in line.
Also have to consider of the possibility of Chribba cutting all servers and selling his character. What then? Does the one dishing out the cash deserve those high sec ships too?

This is another epic failure on behalf of CCP's customer service. :-/ Let's hope they will at least try to make amends, somehow.
It has nothing to do with whether LSAAs were broken or not.
isn't it funny how some people advocate both GTC<=>ISK trades and EVE being superior due to its cruelty and costly losses, when they use the former to circumvent the latter?

As said on the other thread. and also as said, it was a joke, as stated with the in there.
But logic is not the friend of such trolls.
And why would you want to "own" me? Just because i find that particular prize for Chribba as "un-fitting"? Because i appreciate what Chribba has done, but don't want to jump on the "giv ship +1/sign" brigade? Because i've offered more ideas for a prize then most of the +1 in here?
You're /signing that i got "owned" is as much "owned" as someone getting suicided in highsec in a shuttle. Unwarranted, unneeded and rather juvenile behaviour.
But NO, there's only two sides, with us or against us. You couldn't possibly discuss a matter, oh no.
Just like the freakin' "eleet" crew who laugh at people asking for help. Those are the people who ruin the MMOs.

I don't use chribba's services much. But he should have that Rorq. It adds some flavor to the game and something to envious of.
Is it favorism, i guess it is. But giving is good, and he deserves it. And personally I don't mind that he has a dread and rorq in empire. I belive he should have a Titan also, as long as they are only used for the Veldspar fleet.
This is a game, and this is a little fun thing for the game. It won't break the game, it won't shift any balances, just make people giggle or go "YIKES, TITAN!!! I'm dead" when he warps to a belt.
So, without having added anything new to this thread, I take my leave and search for Chribba's whereabouts. I want to see that Rorq

I fully support this option. Give Chribba an Opux or a Golden Magnateà Veldspar hewn statue of Rorqual (or his Veldnought) in the mined out belt in Amarr.
He's a living legend, no doubt about that. I bow deeply before his accomplishment. However, as Sheriff Jones has said, off-game is not in-game rewardable.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this, but here goes:
Chribba wasn't GIVEN anything. Presumably, he (or his corp) bought the POS and LSAA in Amarr, bought the Rorqual BPO and/or BPOs for all the components, acquired the minerals and/or components for it either by mining or by buying them, etc. etc. etc.
All that anyone is asking is that he is allowed to keep his carebearmobile in high-sec; this being by way of a reward for doing many things, at his own RL expense, that CCP should do and doesn't.
Personally, I think that similar rewards ought to be afforded to the makers of EVEMon, EVEMeep and similar tools - perhaps selected by popular acclamation?

Personally I have no problems with Chribba have a high sec Rorqual. It might even give the newer players a chance to see such a ship.

Ok, I am not here to join the give Chribba a Rorq Bandwagon. What I am questioning is the Grandfather clause for those that had LSAA in Hi-Sec. My only question is why didn't they give proper notice for the corps so they can move their stuff and not start any new jobs?
Using the grandfather clause - why couldn't CCP allow the ships in production to be completed where they were and then unanchor the LSAA?
Ok, that is actually 2 questions. As for the Veldnaught, what system is it in and when is Chribba usually online? I want to see one up close without dying.

In what way is giving him a unique statue or ship or something less favoritism than giving him a ship everyone has access to simply in a place that not everyone can get it?
While generalities about favoritism being bad, slippery slopes etc are all well and good, this is a single specific case. It is unlikely to the point of impossibility that someone else will contribute as much of their time and money as Chribba has to this community. And with such renown and success.
Additionally, he is acknowledged as one of the single most neutral parties in the game. So aside form favoritism attached specifically to him, what tin foil hattery? He isn't in an alliance, or even a corp with more than one person. It favors no party with a real or unbalancing advantage. A single Rorqual isn't going to do anything at all to the economy really. And if it did, they could simply ask him to stop using it. Its not like they are giving it to him in secret. If they do give it to him, it would likely be public, and in the form of a reward for services rendered to the community.
Finally, Chribba essentially pays out of his own pocket and gives up his own time to do things that a) someone at CCP should be getting paid to do(ie eve-search. lets face it, its older than and vastly superior to the built in search engine), or that in an ideal world CCP would do themselves (Eve-files, nuff said). So, instead of paying him tens of thousands of dollars (or Pounds, or Euros or whatever) a year as a CCP employee, they can simply grant one small request of his that, despite the nay sayers, would have no dire effect on the game.
The problem with the favoritism argument is that it assumes there are others anything like Chribba who would be missing out, just because CCP likes him more. Chribba is unique. Therefore, it isn't favoritism at all. If there were more people like Chribba, they would deserve Rorquals too.
Abstract ideals aside, the reality is that Chribba may be both the most valuable and most valued member of the community. Including any one of the Devs. Barring maybe Eris . A Rorqual is less than he deserves, but its all he asks for. Denying it to him is the worst kind of ungratefulness. And that applys to people who use his services and then say he doesn't deserve it. You are literally spending his money and time, and you have the gall to deny him such a truly small thing.

Make a RP event to escort his Rorqual through 0.0 sec, I guarantee it would be the largest, most node-crashing fleet fight in EvE so far. Also very one-sided

I second this. Let the community decide democratically if it is favoritism. The thing about being the biggest carebear in Eve is, I bet that some of the nastiest pirates and 0.0 PvPers would fight for the chance to eviscerate anyone firing on him. And of course the dirtiest forum *****s. Cause where would they be without Eve search? --------------

I vote Chribba be awarded for his contributions to the community and the game. Be it a rorqual, a statue or some infinitely large rock of dense veldspar in Amarr.
At any rate I wish to see some official thanks from CCP for what this man has done for their game.

In what way is giving him a unique statue or ship or something less favoritism than giving him a ship everyone has access to simply in a place that not everyone can get it?
While generalities about favoritism being bad, slippery slopes etc are all well and good, this is a single specific case. It is unlikely to the point of impossibility that someone else will contribute as much of their time and money as Chribba has to this community. And with such renown and success.
Additionally, he is acknowledged as one of the single most neutral parties in the game. So aside form favoritism attached specifically to him, what tin foil hattery? He isn't in an alliance, or even a corp with more than one person. It favors no party with a real or unbalancing advantage. A single Rorqual isn't going to do anything at all to the economy really. And if it did, they could simply ask him to stop using it. Its not like they are giving it to him in secret. If they do give it to him, it would likely be public, and in the form of a reward for services rendered to the community.
Finally, Chribba essentially pays out of his own pocket and gives up his own time to do things that a) someone at CCP should be getting paid to do(ie eve-search. lets face it, its older than and vastly superior to the built in search engine), or that in an ideal world CCP would do themselves (Eve-files, nuff said). So, instead of paying him tens of thousands of dollars (or Pounds, or Euros or whatever) a year as a CCP employee, they can simply grant one small request of his that, despite the nay sayers, would have no dire effect on the game.
The problem with the favoritism argument is that it assumes there are others anything like Chribba who would be missing out, just because CCP likes him more. Chribba is unique. Therefore, it isn't favoritism at all. If there were more people like Chribba, they would deserve Rorquals too.

You are literally spending his money and time, and you have the gall to deny him such a truly small thing.
I agree wholeheartedly. CCP, give Chribba his toy, he does allot for the community as a whole, and deserves his Veldmobile as a small reward. Make it a Chribba Issue Rorwhatever it is, and code it so it can only mine Veldspar.

Chribba I don't know personally, but I've used the services he's created for the community and I know he seems to be one of the most trusted and respected individuals in the game.
CCP - give the man a break - he deserves it for all that he has done for us and for *you* at his own expense out of his love for your game.
And, CCP, if you can't see your way clear to that, I'll invoke that terrible curse upon all your male devs that involves Brennevin, roofies and waking up with your underwear on back to front in the morning....

Well, in your own words, overexaggeration 4tl.
Majority maybe, 99%, never.
And mostly people arn't against rewarding chribba, just against giving him a ship where one shouldn't be.
Veldspar belt, sure. Statue, sure. A luxury yacht or some sort of "useless" ship, sure. Own freakin station somewhere that only buys veldspar, sure!! Give the man his due respect and reward for dishing out cash.
But no rule breaking.
Can't see what's so hard to understand about that.
Noone even TRIES to understand it, just goes on about "No you hate Chribba! Give him ship!"
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

He is also the most neutral peep in Eve - this means you can leave a titan beside the man in his pod with skills to fly it and he won't eben show info on it without you asking him to (this IS how motherships sucha s the Nyx and should it happen titans are sold as they cannot dock). What I am wondering right now is "where is Chibbra?". We have all sighned an epic thread and he did start the first page - but wheres he bugered off to I wonder....

Honestly, I think he's doing the smart thing, and staying out of this. It probably embarrasses him a bit also.
but I do want to bring up a point mentioned earlier. Chribba was not and is not asking for a gift. From my understanding, he legitimately owned the PoS, the LSAA, and all of the components/minerals, BPO, and commenced production of his own Rorqual.
The only "gift" we, the majority of the EVE community, are asking is that CCP has the integrity to honor their own word, and allow this job to complete where it was commissioned at.
I find it absolutely disgusting that this situation was handled in the manner it has been. Now it's time that CCP re-interpereted their own intentions, much like they did with the trade forums, and belay their actions in this matter.
Or we all have to admit that nothing you are told by CCP, no matter by whom, is worthy of trust, as they may capriciously renege on their word.

CCP ruled that the remaining high sec Arrays would stay so long as the ships they produce went immediatly to lowsec upon completion. Chribba has stated his was intended for high-sec. A flat out disregard for CCP's set rules regarding the construction of capitals in high sec. There were sell orders for Roq's advertising them for high-sec.. so at least 1 of the other arrays ships could have possibly ended up in high sec... where CCP dosen't want them. Solution.. unachor the arrays and send them out of empire where everyone elses is.
Don't tell me you are gullible enough to believe that upon seeing 1 Roq in highsec.. that others wouldn't do what they could to sneak more by and not take them to lowsec.
CCP decided not to take the chance of these ships having access to high sec. Did this screw up Chribbas plans to use his Roq in high sec, in complete disregard for CCP's rule that they all get moved to lowsec.. yes Will CCP allow him to have the capital in high sec, showing favoritism, in light of all the recent alligations of CCP corruption and favortism towards players.. hell no.
Does Chribba do alot for the eve community? Apparently so Does he pay thousands of dollars of his own money to provide that service to the community.. maybe (you don't really think he dosen't get donations and sponsorship do you?) Does he deserve recognition of his works for EVE.. yes.. and he got it.. the EON award.
Does he deserve in game freebies and favoritism due to something he does of his own volition outside of game? No

This is an epic thread alright... epic "Whine" thread from someone that's acting like a spoiled child that has had his toy's taken away.
Chribba and the other LSAA owner's started to build rorq's in Empire (an exploit incase you didn't already know) and CCP acted quickly in unanchoring the LSAA's and told the owner's in a "confidential GM/DEV message" which Chribba felt the need to display in his original post that they could still have the ship's when the production time had elapsed but they would need to choose a low sec system for the GM/DEV's to spawn the ship's in.
Chribba obviously wouldn't accept this so he made this "Whine" thread knowing that it would attract all his fanboi's to it like a plague of locust's to do his whining for him, although I imagine it's falling on deaf ear's in the CCP offices.
I don't see where CCP owe him anything ingame for out of game stuff he decided to do out of his own pocket, if anything it's you fanboi's that should reward him by maybe donating to his paypal. Although someone already mentioned he has sponsor's for the site so perhap's it doesn't cost him anything?
Anyway a rorq in empire is an "exploit" and if sanctioned by CCP it's just T20 and co all over again and we don't really want that do we?

It was not an exploit according to the devs and patch notes about the subject, stop calling things that they are not. The mail sent to the CEO's put 100% of the blame on the LSAA owners not the devs making the desecion last november when the patch was set, AND when we asked in mails and petitions about the rules of putting them up.

You do realise that there is a huge difference between spawning tech 2 bpo's for your friends under the guise of a event that no one else could enter, and using game mechanics that were known about and apperently not thought about with the introducton of the new ship?
The real solution to this was to not allow them at all, but once they did and when they sanctioned the building of ships in empire they OWE it to the LSAA owners to tell them ahead of time, regardless of what everyone is thinking this is CCP's fualt and not the shipyard owners. And all of the shipyard owners will agree that taking them down is not the issue, but how CCP has gone about it and how they have treated the shipyard owners as the ones that have caused this issue when they operated under thier guidelines.
Chibb needs a giant veldspar rock outside the main amarr station that is bm's system wide and will never run out of ore, the ore capital ship in high sec is next to useless.

Even though in this case it would be a "kind gesture" on their part, all it will take is one person crying about it afterwards and here comes public fire storm # 2. It is all about perception in business and they already did enough in the past to damage their image. You obviously do not have a Business or Marketing degree correct?
Your opinion is now being addressed and discounted.

And that one person would be flamed from one end of the EVE universe to the other. Besides, if CCP would play it right, the whole event could be positive PR. You even have BoB agreeing with IAC agreeing Outbreak agreeing with Goonswarm agreeing with ex-ASCN...... and that is just skimming through the thread. How bad could it be if rivals agree?

What makes you think that "one person" would be a current EvE subscriber? All it would take is one ex-player or EvE hater who got ****ed off at the game or CCP for some reason hearing about it and spouting off on MMORPG.com's forums {or any forums} starting rumors and propaganda about how "CCP is breaking their own rules again."
You don't think that hacker dude who uncovered the T2O situation wouldn't have a field day with this? A lot of people listen to that guy too.
CCP understands this and it is why this guy isn't getting the ship. It is nothing personal.

The difference being above-board activities and below-board activities. T20 spawning BPOs for his buddies on the DL was a subversive act, and thusly affected perceptions of CCP negatively. If CCP were to publicly state, "This person has done incredible things for the community of EVE. His selfless dedication has made this game more than the sum of its parts, and we owe him a great debt of gratitude. In recognition for his actions, we're giving him <insert name here>, a special edition Rorqual which only he will own. (alternately substitute a regular Rorqual)," then players and nonplayers alike will see that CCP is loyal to, and rewards, those who do good to further this game. Throw the PR guys at it to spread more information to the uninformed about the terrible travesty of such an upstanding EVE citizen being stripped of his one desire, the outcry of the community, the desire of the devteam to do what's right. Do it out in the open where it'll be seen as a good thing, and spin, spin, spin.
You obviously don't have a marketing degree, correct? No worries, I do, and I'm for hire.

With logic like that it's easy to see why.
The fact is a small handful of nay-sayers are more than enough to sully a companies name. What about all the other players who run fan sites? It may not be the same circumstances, but why not reward everyone with customised ships? I am not suggesting this and while I do agree it'd be nice for them to reward someone who gives so much to their community people are always going to complain when someone else is rewarded.
The best thing CCP can do is steer well clear of this thread. No-one is going to quit in protest of him not getting his ship and probably neither will he. People wont stop signing up because people on the forums are complaining about it.
While it has many posibilities to make CCP look like a good, supportive company it opens itself up to many more opportunities to be dragged through the mud. Again. |

Well from a personal POV I think it'd be a fun event like some have outlined in this thread, just someone raised the "logical" point so I thought I'd pipe up.

After reading that, it doesn't surprise me that you are unemployed. 
I know it is hard to comprehend this since you probably live on these forums but there are actually sites out there which are still discussing the T20 Scandal. These are sites like mmorpg.com where players rank and discuss games. It is also a good place for people with an agenda {or grudge} to start a nasty smear campaign. I know that there are people on mmorpg.com who say bad things about EvE simply because they hated seeing it ranked as the # 1 game for so long.
CCP simply isn't going to give those people any possible ammunition to start something like that especially after the crap they went through a few months ago. No matter how good intentioned and "open to the public" this gesture might be, anything can be twisted and misrepresented and CCP really cannot defend themselves on that front except to come out and make official statements periodically. It just isn't worth the risk and the can lose much more than they gain.
Therefore, this crusade and thread is a loser....sorry.

Really, you're right. A "sensible" corporation will do nothing that potentially exposes itself to criticism. However, I would hope for more from CCP. Considering its standing position that CCP marches to its own drum and that popularity be damned, a laudable extension of this would be singling out and rewarding the exceptional regardless of the potential fallout from people who are already primed to be nay-sayers. Or would you rather that CCP dumb down EVE for the masses?

Edit: btw: go check out the thread above this one titled "corruption all over the place" as an example to how easy it is to start rumors and conspiracy theories. Now imagine that thread on another site where raging fanboys aren't there to defend CCP. A site where people go to help them decide which game they want to subscribe to.
Getting the point yet?....naw probably not. 
MMORPG.com is a joke. Going there for MMO news is like seeking the same at gamefaqs.com, or going to freerepublic.com for balanced political debate.
As to rumors, and your example thread: should tinfoil hatters and the 1% who are hell-bent on ruining everything dictate the future course of CCP's actions? Should that which is right, or that which is best for the community at-large, be subverted by those whose goal is the defamation of those who seek to better this game? How does performing a disservice to one who gives selflessly to this community do anything other than further besmirch the character of CCP? Do right actions not justify themselves?
