MotherMoon Huang Yinglong	Posted - 2008.12.23 10:47:00 - [61] Originally by: Lucy'Lastic They should move somewhere that has rules against falsely advertising an MMO with claims that it can support PvP engagements of over 200 players. are you saying that with drone models off, turets off, and shadows off, HDR off, and everything else off, you still get lag? woah time to buy a new computer mate.
Glengrant TOHA Heavy Industries	Posted - 2008.12.23 11:02:00 - [62] Edited by: Glengrant on 23/12/2008 11:04:58 Originally by: Antarious Kronar A woman pulls up to McDonald's and buys a coffee, placing it between her legs. Drives off, hits a bump and burns the hell out of her <explicit>. She goes to court and wins because she and her lawyer are idiots. A man uses a ladder on ice and falls and get's hurt, while the ladder has warnings on it that clearly states not to use it on ice. He wins the lawsuit because he and his lawyer are idiots. All it would take is a class action lawsuit. But don't above examples rather show that they are brilliant (got lots of money out of their own mistakes) and that the court/jurors are idiots? And the point by another poster above stands - to get a lawyer you either have to pay or a good chance of making outragous money. That's unlikely to be the case with EVE. I'm sure there are some crazies here who would want to start a class action suit (heck one already said he would like to in a recent threadnought - not that I believe him going though with it). But I don't see a lawyer finding a good payout here. Also it's much easier to get jurors into crazy-mode with hideous wounds and unpopular megacorp. A case vs game company and some players whining about stuff that jurors would have trouble even understanding is not going to get far money-wise. --- Save the forum: Think before you post.

MotherMoon Huang Yinglong	Posted - 2008.12.23 11:16:00 - [63] to be honest, 1.That coffee didn't have any warnings on it.. and 2.She got ****ing 3rd degree burns. While I think she is an idiot, what kind of coffee has to be that hot?!?!

Kappas. Galaxy Punks	Posted - 2008.12.23 12:00:00 - [65] Originally by: MotherMoon That coffee didn't have any warnings on it.. If you need a warning on a cup of coffee saying "Warning! This **** is really hot!" then you may as well put warnings on water and soda saying "Warning! Inhaling this may result in drowning!" - "Warning! Soda is not to be used to clean your eyes or genitals!" and so on __________________

But I for one HAVE spilled coffee in my lap, and I didn't even get any type of burn, sure it hurt, but it didn't make skin peel off. My point is, don't serve coffee at boil point. I'll take back the warning thing.

Verite Rendition Caldari F.R.E.E. Explorer Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2008.12.23 13:22:00 - [69] Originally by: Kessiaan Edited by: Kessiaan on 23/12/2008 10:32:59 After reading the entire article, I'm a bit mystified as to why the government would hamstring CCP - it seems that in a country experiencing severe inflation / devaluation of its native currency, a source of more stable foreign currency would be something that would you'd want to have around. As for where to go - midwestern USA is a great place to plot world domination. Pay off the local farmers to look the other way, lots of space, nobody will bother you. As I understand it, if they let people use other currencies, it would just devalue the ISK further. Iceland wants to save the ISK (because all of their debt is in it), so they need to hold the Icelandic people hostage to their own currency. Anyhow, another vote for Portland, although I suspect they'd be happier in Canada and it would make more sense to go to Atlanta if they did come to the USA. ---- FREE Explorer Lead Megalomanic EVE Null-Sec Player Influence Map http://dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Veritefw/FWinf

Tallaran Kouros Caldari Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2008.12.23 14:46:00 - [73] Originally by: Kappas If you need a warning on a cup of coffee saying "Warning! This **** is really hot!" then you may as well put warnings on water and soda saying "Warning! Inhaling this may result in drowning!" - "Warning! Soda is not to be used to clean your eyes or genitals!" and so on Maybe we should put warnings on threads saying you should actually read them (and the articles they link to) before commenting :) This has been answered - several times. It's not that the coffee was hot, but that it was excessively hot for coffee and that the cups were not designed for it, plus numerous other failings on the part of McDonald's. Yes the woman should not have held the coffee cup between her legs, but that doesn't diminish McD's culpability for their failings in any way.

CCP Dr.EyjoG	Posted - 2008.12.23 17:10:00 - [76] Edited by: CCP Dr.EyjoG on 23/12/2008 17:10:46 Edited by: CCP Dr.EyjoG on 23/12/2008 17:10:24 Good to see how many of you are interested in having CCP in your own back yard. In this interview I was discussing recent law in Iceland that puts restrictions on movement of capital in and out of the country. CCP sees these as being very restrictive for our future growth, and hence, eventually we would have to let CCP grow in other places than Iceland. Fortunately, these law have been lifted somewhat and we expect them to be lifted further early in the new year. If that trend continues CCP can prosper and grow in Iceland, but CCP is not bound by any borders, physically or mentally, in order to make sure that EVE gets the best care possible. Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that CCP has not been affected directly by the banking crisis in Iceland. Thanks to our dear capsulers, CCP and EVE-online are truly a global phenomenon in a space of its own. I wish you all a happy holiday and thank you for playing EVE in 2008. See you all, and many more, in 2009. Dr. EyjoG

But then again I have no degree in economics, so I just THINK this is what you meant :P and if CCP never moves that's alright, still a chance whitewolf will move up to Seattle :P

If it becomes a real issue for you, just move to a group company structure with the holding company off-shore somewhere that's investor and tax friendly. Collect all your revenue and hold the IP in the holding company. Remit revenue to the sub's as needed. That way developers and the fish tank can stay where they are. Isle of Man has some very friendly egaming legislation and there's a load of business benefits. Including; Zero rate of Tax on Taxable Income from 6th April 2005 and if you needed to re-locate some staff (administrative and payments related let's say) they have grants available too. ~~~~ There is no parody in this thread. Honest.

Dantes Revenge Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.03 06:44:00 - [82] I vote CCP move to Isle of Man too. Aslo that the fanfest be held a few days before the TT races. You would probably make a lot of players very happy then. Of course this has no bearing on the fact that we can then convince the gf/wife that staying for the Isle of Man TT would be getting the most out of our holiday -- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted. Kinky is using a feather to get her in the mood. Perverted is using the whole chicken. All this has happened before and will happen again
Reiisha Splint Eye Probabilities Inc. Dawn of Transcendence	Posted - 2009.01.03 15:32:00 - [83] The isle of man has some..... other disadvantages though. Tyrrax won't be let into the country for example :> EVE History Wiki
static zero Minmatar RPS Industries	Posted - 2009.01.07 08:50:00 - [84] I hope that the difficulties can be resolved quickly. In addition to being a major MMO publisher, it is also an ambassador for Iceland, to the Internet gaming community at least. Iceland would lose more than just a great source of revenue were CCP to leave. I've fallen in love with Iceland and it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for CCP, Eve Online, and Fanfest. -Static -static zero
