I thought it was funny as hell. The Jove's tinker around with jump drives(?) and end up atomizing someone. WHOOPS!
Ok... so many are torqued because they didn't get some uber-toy or whatever. Perhaps this is just the tip of the iceberg though? Future interactions with Jove's and access to new technology? (provided the Jove's get it right).
-=EDIT=- The dev blog seems to be in sync with my theory.

Well if you read the latest press release from Jove, they appear to be a bit ****ed that their Envoy was attacked by 500 dingleberries..... seems like what started out as a diplomatic mission is turning a bit heated....
Invasion? Doubt it....
Border tension? Heck yeah...Jovian incursions with a touch of revenge on their minds? I bet.. so take care on the border.... this is not over.
And stop the whining about the event.. the EVENT is still on going... geeze

If CCP had had any guts it would have played out like this...
500 players line up to smoke Jovian ship and steal all his tech.
Jovian guy warps into the middle of 500 ships, 500 ships open fire, missiles everywhere...
Jovian fleet decloaks, vaporizes all 500 ships, recloaks and heads off to Jovian space.
THEN, you would have had whining, BUT think of the bump in the economy such a large scale "rennovation" would have accomplished.
IF this plays out somehow over the next few weeks, I thought it was pretty cool...

(
Managing to involve an entire playerbase in an event without going through the mass/lag issues in a both an efficient and creative way, hat down.
Eve team is giving its first lesson of event management to the mmorpg veteran staffs, and i trust them for this to be only the start of a complete lecture.
I would like to say more alas i have a Jovian bacon slice on the fire, must keep an eye on it.

All you people whining about this event got themselves hyped up for nothing.
They are whining because they didn't get to shoot anyone.
1st. at no place in the news of the jovians trip did it say he was going to be in any one system at any one time. just said he was going to make a trip to all major race leaders.
2nd. at no point in that news did it say for everyone that wanted to go to new caldari and try and gank him when he gets there being it may be his first stop. he was on a diplomatic round of travel.
3rd. those of you who thought it be good to mass into one system to possibly get a shot off.......one word, STUPID.
4th. those whining about the lag refer to #3.
5th.................IT WAS FREEKING NEWS NOT AN EVENT
since when does basic news imply an event sanction for players massing........i didn't read anything hinting to that in the news just that the jovian was going to possibly release some jovian technologies and that he was going to release it to all major races. thus why he was to be going to the leaders.
All you people whining are doing so due to your own ineptness to read what's written and not read between the lines. All those that are let down are doing so by their own doings. Next time the news implies the release of technology.........if you haven't figured it out by now.
THAT WAS AN INTRODUCTION TO AN ONGOING EVENT/RELEASE. WAIT FOR THE NEWS OF IT'S RELEASE.......then you can whine about not getting something.

im a little confused, i dont mean to whine but i dont see what was so great or fun about todays "event". After eventually logging back on after downtiem in the system then undocking to see a LOT of ships all around the station after 30 minutes of waiting word spreads about the new "news" post and everyone moves on to continue whatever they were doign before hand. Then we learn everyone in the whole game gets a jove piece regardless of whether they were at the event. So what exactly was the event? Since this was the first "event" i have ever been at i was just wondering if this is what they are usually like? Did i miss something cos i didnt see anything fun about this.
Again i dont mean to whine just curious if this is what the RP is usually like in eve if so i shall avoid it in the future to avoid any further disapointment
Part of what I find so fun about the event is that it was truely an interseting plot line and involved me even though I was not a part of it the NC chinese fire drill.
Plus, since I wasn't willing to skip work to be a part of the event, I think it's hilarious coming back to find out that all the drotards who did show up are whining because they didn't get to gank Baniya before he was jump scrambled in to egg mix.
I don't think there is anything wrong with what they did, myself. But it's a moot point, they've already announced that they won't be announcing specific times/places in the future. (I think they should announce places and times, but maybe not together.)

The time you spend caterwauling and being utter tools could be better employed earning money from this very fun event. The market is buzzing with trade of Jove kibbles. Ride the wave, you fools, ride the wave.

The original post drew much laughter in the middle of a meeting when the forums were being looked at for post-event discussion.
\o/
Glad to see you guys got a kick out of it.
And look! Proof that the Devs *DO* read the forums! <gasp>
(Sorry, more sarcasm there.)
For the people that missed the </sarcasm>, I didn't really lose my arm, children, job, or pet. I logged in before work to see some Jove chunks in my hangar, and a lot of angry people on forums. I will say I am extremely amused to see players who don't realize it was a joke, even after several others have made it blatantly obvious. Perhaps the devs read more of the forums than the players do.
GJ CCP! cool story! I can't wait to see what my Jovian bits are gonna be used for.
(Jovian Bits, n Bits, n Bits. hmm, catchy!)

hehe , well i was a bit miffed at first, some of you prob got that off my first thread, deleted btw :), anywayz. It was pretty okz all in all esp seeing all the peeps there was cool.
The only thing i was hoping for was a brief glance at a jove bship or titan, since interbus has been more or less scrapped it seems , that wasnt a viable option , so jumpdrive kinda stood out.
ah well, i did see em before and prob will again.

Well I dont see anything in any of the news announcements that mentioned we would get to see the Jove.
So why are you all moaning, cant you read or comprehend ? Just cause the news said the Jove would visit these area's doesnt mean anything other than that, the Jove are mysterious and not ment to be seen :D
Thanks for the body parts btw

I hope CCP makes some very deadly events, I would actually love to see people cry about loosing their l33t BS instead of crying about not getting their free uber jove loot.

Managalar states a good point.
Would actually be cool seeing some of the top guys getting their heads chopped off. Make a Jove war with or something and get peoples hoeps up to beat them then all of them end up getting slaughtered and Jove occupies parts of "empire" space. Empires work together exterminating the jove occupants.
I dunno, sounded cool in my head :P

I didn't turn up, so personally i don't care. I did attend one of them tho. Some big chase the man kinda thing (as you can tell i'm up on my role play).
Anyhow, thats the point i was making...The role play in eve is lame, always has been. I read the news, its a bit like reading a story except not as explicit  and then i log in and play eve. The story has no relation to the game unless it was something that broke and they tried to hide it in a story (i.e. the sentry guns). Don't people play how they wanna play or do people actually "role" play.
Hmm, anyhow stop moaning about it, moan about something useful like the game being broke or something
