We live in an age where social media and micro-donations have the potential to amass substantial funding for minimal effort. Candidates could include new Clear Skies episodes (though not created by CCP), a feature length EVE movie based on the Cinematic Trailer, or something else. We're told that adding tessalation effects would require a whole year. What if we could speed that up?
...
In this thread, please discuss ideas, suggestions for fundraising items, or reasons why this shouldn't be. With our numbers united, we quite literally have the power to realize almost anything we can imagine.
I love this idea in principle, a community lead arts fund could get the EVE Outtakes guy, Mike Azariah and John Rourke on a true-to-lore mini series well worth watching.
BUT - I've a "professional" wariness for any suggestion coming from to Goons / Test / Reddit direction. I love you guys but you have keen skills at lifting the material burdens of the weak-minded. I'd have to insist on an upstanding community leader like Chribba being a trustee of any funds generated.

Now lets get back to the big shots, you know the guys on the top floor. There only desire in life is to have more money! It doesnt matter how much they have they need more, think of it as an addiction. They will invest just enough money in a product to make it profitable. It doesnt matter to them if the game is awesome or good, it just has to hold enough subs to make a profit.
Giving CCP or any corporation more money will NOT make a better product. All it will achieve is making extremely rich people just a little bit more rich, pennies to them.
I can't agree. Big H's first priority is always going to be his family, but his ambitions for EVE are inclusive and part of an overarching plan that you really have to admire. I absolutely would trust him to manage a community fund but I don't think it would be fair to ask him to do it. He has enough on his plate as it is.
Again, in principle yes great idea, in practice - err, I'm sceptical.

conceited of me to quote myself i know but;
Trebor, having mad storyboarding skills, management knouse and more monies than me - plus having being elected n all - would be an ideal guy to tap to look after a project like this. Sure he's got the time for us. |

damnit, you've actually got me hooked on this now.
I'd pay sound pounds sterling for a five minute vid pooling the graphic, modelling, storytelling and voice-over prowess of all EVE players willing to contribute to an in game lore description of the circumstances that lead up to and culminated in the destruction of Jita. - if it happens ...
I challenge you to make it possible.

I would be more than happy to act as trustee for a project like convincing CCP to implement the Dead Horse POS.
lol, cash for questions T? Why does that ring bells? Maybe itGÇÖs an early xmas for you.
As much as IGÇÖd like to direct a couple of scenes pitching The Mittani as a space faring Lord Byron; fiercely loyal to friends - death to enemies and the heartless heart of corporate capitalism - it just wont fly in EVEs current winter of discontent.
Goons have more than enough assets to spin their own promos anyway. A shame, I imagine such a vivid story full of terminal plosions.
but fer sure PLEX to give the Dead Horse POS legs is a winner I can back. |

Seriously. You'll find that the creative types that take the heroic risk in contributing time to EVE with their skills are rewarded well with praise and contributions from those that recognise the worth of their efforts.
I don't want to sound patronising, but that's the way it has always been. |

[quote=Ban Bindy]If I'm going to give money away it will be to something that will do some good in the real world. Eve is a game I play, not a religion. CCP can take care of Eve, and if they fail at that, I'll play something else. There's a whole big needy world out there. I spend enough money on this game as it is.[/quote
I guess that's were you and I differ. EVE is nothing without it's players and the folk that are brave enough to stand up; lead, have the **** taken out of them and carry on regardless with wit and dignity. The big needy world is going to big and needy whether you throw your peanuts in that direction or not. You might as well throw your peanuts at the people who enjoy escaping into the same fantasy world you enjoy. |
