Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.20 18:01:00 - [1] Hello All! On the 23rd of this month, the 4th annual Holiday Spirit Event will be taking place in-game. Here's how it works: I'll be announcing in the Help channel (in game) the location that I have picked this year for the event. Anyone who wants to come around then flies to that system. When you get there you say hello, dock up, and I'll hand you holiday gifties! There will be numerous drawings for more extreme gifts as the day goes on. There is only one rule to follow - you must be IN THE SYSTEM the event is happening in when the drawings for uberprizes happen. Registration for the drawings is automatic as soon as you are handed your free gift in the station. This year there are literally billions of isk worth of goodies that will be given out. Perhaps we'll have the largest ship conga line in EvE history? Bring your snowballs! The gifties come in all shapes and sizes, but I try to keep them within your racial makeup and preferred skillset. Special drawing prizes range from complete sets of implants, T2 ships (fully fitted), T2 mods, blueprints, and the biggest gift prizes of this year beat all the previous years by far! Grand Gift is an Officer/Faction/T2 fit BS Other BS's with Faction/T2 gear are also in the holiday sack! I hope to see you ALL on the 23rd.. the system will be announced on that date. Lastly, there is NO COST to join in the festivities. Happy Holidays! HS
Falcon Troy Caldari State Protectorate	Posted - 2008.12.20 18:05:00 - [2] Make it 0.0 _____________ Hai.
Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.20 19:04:00 - [3] Ah yes.. I forgot to mention that part lol. The Event is going to be held in a safe Empire System. It has already been picked and the gifts are currently being wrapped up and fitted for the day :) The Security Level of the system this year is 0.9 In the past these events have been run in Amarr, Caldari and Gallente space.. so you might be able to get a hint as to where it will be this year ;) HS
Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.21 21:17:00 - [4] Just a holiday bump for the topic :) Only 2 more days to wait!
Orion GUardian Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.21 21:22:00 - [5] you forgot to tel us the eve time for the event
Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.21 21:25:00 - [6] I'm on the East Coast U.S. and I usually start the event in the afternoon (my time). It goes and goes until I either run out of stuff to hand out (hasn't happened yet) or I fall asleep (happens on a daily basis). :) HS
Sidus Isaacs Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.21 23:16:00 - [7] Edited by: Sidus Isaacs on 21/12/2008 23:16:25 I am definatly gonna try and be there :). Any age limit for gift recivers? :P

Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators Chubby Chuppers Chubba Chups	Posted - 2008.12.21 23:36:00 - [9] /me copies and pastes the "Its a tarp" ascii art SKUNK Originally by: CCP Navigator People who think I am joking or talking big are going to understand very quickly that there will be order
Sidus Isaacs Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.22 00:00:00 - [10] Originally by: Le Skunk /me copies and pastes the "Its a tarp" ascii art SKUNK How can it be a trap? It cost nothing, and its high sec.
Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.22 00:42:00 - [11] Heheheh... If you follow the link I posted earlier, you'll see that the "It's a Trap" reference was made then too :) There is no age limit, everyone is welcome and everyone will get something just for showing up. No fees, no need to join a corp, no isk begging, no deposits, no lame scams - just free stuff and fun - all in the safety of Empire space :) Last year we got a parade going outside the station with over 100 ships in it :) I started this yearly tradition for a reason - it's what got me going in EvE. When I was about 1 month old there was a pilot who was giving away goodies in a station 30 jumps from where I was based. He gave me the stuff I needed to get a head start in my profession, and I thrived from it. The following year I tried to contact him to see if he would like a donation to the cause, if he planned on doing it again, as thanks for the boost he provided to me. I found out that he had stopped playing, so I took the helm for the event and have been doing it every year since. I even created this toon, just for this event :) Gotta get back to the build queue now.. lots to do :) HS
Sidus Isaacs Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.22 15:38:00 - [12] Do you have a EVE/GMT time for it? (an estimate I guess)
MotherMoon Huang Yinglong	Posted - 2008.12.22 15:40:00 - [13] Edited by: MotherMoon on 22/12/2008 15:40:34 I'm sure the newer players in our corp would love free stuff :) I'll see if I can't be there to get the system name so they can take part ! I won't be there though I have to to the hospital again >.<
Doctor Penguin Amarr Shadow Command Tenth Legion	Posted - 2008.12.22 15:44:00 - [14] This sounds like a really great event! Especially because I'm in Minmatar Space! :D Any idea when the announcement will be made on Help? ________________________________________________

Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.23 05:02:00 - [16] I'm headed for bed after getting everything ready for tommorrow. I'll post here with the location once I'm online and geared up, with a blanket on my lap, plenty of food at my beck and call, and enough tom and jerry batter to keep me all toasty for a long time :) After I post here, I'll start hitting the help channel.. as is the tradition :) Hope to see you all there! Goodies goodies goodieS !! HS

Doctor Penguin Amarr Shadow Command Tenth Legion	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:26:00 - [28] Edited by: Doctor Penguin on 23/12/2008 18:26:42 Joy! ________________________________________________
Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:27:00 - [29] And here we go! The location you seek is Yuzier :) A quick rundown of how this event works: 1. Get to Yuzier 2. Dock in the Fleet Assembly Plant (maybe say hello in local too) 3. Tell me what kind of pilot you are, or what you intend to become (miner, combat, science) 4. I'll give you a gift through the trade window in the station Every person who docks and gets a gift is automatically entered for chances to get additional stuff throughout the day. The only requirement for getting additional goodies is: You Must Be In The Yuzier System when I pull your name! The event continues until I either run out of stuff to give out, or I fall asleep, and there are hundreds of gifts to give. Though it is not 'required', I would ask that those who are involved in wars refrain from fighting in Yuzier during the Event. There is no way for me to stop you from shooting one another, of course, but you might just get some carbon in your stocking. My elves are watching you! I've got enough stuff to have special drawing giveaways for hours, so stick around! Forming up conga lines, having snowball fights, racing around the station and having a lot of fun is encouraged! See you there, Holiday Spirit

See you there, Holiday Spirit But, but... I'm bringing an Omen... EDIT: Only 6 jumps away and counting, Mr Spirit! I might end up being first there! ________________________________________________

Sweeper23	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:45:00 - [32] Holiday, Currently at work at the moment but hoping to get out of RL and head your way within a few hours. Can anyone please give me how many jumps it will take to get from Jita to Yuzier?
Grey Point Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:47:00 - [33] Edited by: Grey Point on 23/12/2008 18:47:38 I would, but today is "play in the snow with little sister" day. Everybody have fun :)
Doctor Penguin Amarr Shadow Command Tenth Legion	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:49:00 - [34] Sweeper, it's 20 jumps. Not actually that far really. ________________________________________________
Mr Babai Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:53:00 - [35] or 28 jumps if you prefer to avoid low sec systems.
Sweeper23	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:54:00 - [36] Edited by: Sweeper23 on 23/12/2008 18:54:55 28 jumps... not a problem, I'll be there!! BTW... Happy Holidays to all!!! *Edited for jumps... i wouldnt want to start all over again lol

Royal Sloan Caldari Coalition of EVE Freaks	Posted - 2008.12.23 19:17:00 - [42] Sad...if you were closer I would attend, but 29 jumps is just too far for me. Tonight is our Corps game night and I couldn't get to Yuzier and back in time to join the missions tonight. I am new to EVE (almost 3 months now) and this sounds like a great time. Where are the "social" places in EVE? I am used to other MMOs where there was a central place to just hang out, chat, contests, etc when you weren't busy with other things. I have yet to find that in EVE. Jita is busy but not real social it seems. Mostly scam artists in the local channel. I came to EVE because a coworker is big into the game and talked a lot of us into joining to fly with him. So I am still getting a feel for the game and the world of EVE.

Social place is your Corp or Alliance channel :P And when ambulation comes it will be in stations at your Corp HQ and I guess the 4-4 Station in Jita will be pretty busy aswell with lots of stuff :> I do Sigs, Banners and other Graphics for ISK.

Taak Coram Gallente Outdated Host Productions	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:07:00 - [60] I got there at almost the very beginning. Loads of fun, I got an Iteron V \o/. Sorry to the people who didn't get anything/couldn't make it on time. I highly recommend trying again next year though. It was loads and loads of fun . See you all next year o/.
maddeb	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:08:00 - [61] Holiday Spirit, you have done it again my god what a laugh and although i went home with nothing but a smile, i will be plagued by how the convo went from game knowledge to fish..... I was suprised to find you were not a CCP member as i first thought, Maybe CCP can help next year this was such a laugh and again THANK YOU very much. Merry Christmas to all who were there and congrats to the winners Maddeb
Shoo'san	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:08:00 - [62] I'm happy with my Breacher and Kestrel! Merry Christmas!
Mr Babai Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:11:00 - [63] Thanks for the awesome holiday event. Merry Christmas!
Orion GUardian Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:17:00 - [64] nice event... Perhaps a little selection on the presents you can get as "station giveaway" may be nice. Somewhere like [one out of 3 choices for what the guy/gal said he was doing normally] But I suppose thats out of bonds for such an amount of multitasking ^^ Had lots of fun, thanks
Latrodanes Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:25:00 - [65] What a blast! Thanks for the good time. Happy Holidays to all. *** Had a T1 sig - it got all blowed up. Got another T1 sig - it got all blowed up too. Can't afford another T1 sig...yet. Still training for T2 sigs, f...ing newb that I am.
Legionos McGuiros	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:50:00 - [66] you can only mine fish in jovian space....
Haunter Ace New Found Power	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:52:00 - [67] It was great There was a conga line: follow the dominix winner snowball fights great conversations in local interesting gifts: miners, haulers, implants, battleships, cruisers, frigates, bpo's and bpc's Even a guest appearance from an ISD I just wish I got a vexor or a BPO but we can't all be lucky. Going to train luck to level 5 next year.
Legionos McGuiros	Posted - 2008.12.24 00:54:00 - [68] Shamed i missed eveyrthing but the last snowball fight, holed up in station hoping for a prezzie Ah well cant win em all eh?
Holiday Spirit	Posted - 2008.12.24 01:00:00 - [69] Thanks for all the thanks! It was a resoundingly fun time.. tons of stuff given away, and congrats to the 'big draw getters' (though we all won in some way) The recipient of the Officer and Faction fit Raven was StrikeThree. Other big gifts included a Faction fit geddon, a domi, a phoon (once MightyQuinn wakes up to claim it heheh), a Succubus and a variety of race specific implant sets. We absolutely blew away previous years for attendance. My log has well over 350 pilots who showed up, with an in-system max total of 179. The Derelik region hasn't had this many pilots in it since.. uh.. well probably since ever! Snowball fights, conga lines and parades surrounded the station for hours! When all was said and done.. and my sack was empty.. I undocked and was treated to being primary for a grand finale' of snowball goodness! Thanks to everyone who showed up.. sorry if I missed anyone along the way.. and hope to see you all again next year, when I'll be handing out gifts in the.. whoops - cant tell you the system name!! Hope everyone has a fabulous holiday, and prosperous new year on EvE and in RL. Warmest Regards, Holiday Spirit
Simone Bataille	Posted - 2008.12.24 03:07:00 - [70] well I am a starting player but I got a fitted frigate, a blueprint, and a full set of minmatar implants (skills and hardwiring). This was really fun, the chat in local was lighthearted, and eve had a bit of cheer instead of angry pew-pew-pew. So thanks, great idea.
Ker HarSol Minmatar Zip - I	Posted - 2008.12.24 07:42:00 - [71] Originally by: Holiday Spirit Hope everyone has a fabulous holiday, and prosperous new year on EvE and in RL. Warmest Regards, Holiday Spirit That was an awesome event! Thank you very much! If you do it next year again, will you accept donations for your give-away then?
ComenGo	Posted - 2008.12.24 09:40:00 - [72] Was a great atmosphere and jealous of Strike and his new Raven - but did get him with a snowball or two :-)
Mikal Drey Minmatar Priory Of The Lemon Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.12.24 10:21:00 - [73] hey hey I think i got some faction ammo last year wont be there this year as im working late :'''( GL with your Eevnt this year HS O/

Togg Bott Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2008.12.24 11:19:00 - [75] hmm... i wasnt able to make the event.. but thats ok as i am doing well. but this idea is really good and apparently NOT a scam. who do i make a donation too for next years event. i figure you shouldnt have to foot the bill by yourself.
Coastie SK	Posted - 2008.12.24 12:47:00 - [76] Thank you Holiday Spirit!!! With your wonderful gifts my future in eve is looking great. It was a great time entering the local and joining in the conga line. Although i alwas got a bit nervouse throwing the snowballs double checking which high slot I was putting on line. hehe If you need any assistance next year please let me know and I'll gladly help. Happy Holidays to everyone!
