Hello all, so I have been mining all day and started thinking about random stuff. What if Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft got bored and hired 6000 people to play Eve in his own private alliance, he can afford it, billions in real life isk!!!!
He would have 2000 people cover each 8 hour shift and they would never be afk. He could literally, destroy every alliance, and field 2000 man super cap fleets. Imagine all the GTC he could sell.
Would CCp allow it, I dont know if they would turn away 6000 paying subs, but it is always a possibility a rich Middle Eastern Prince will get some crazy idea.
I need to sleep. Happy New Year!!!!!

Would allow it i think. Afterall, it's in the limits of the rules to get a big group of "friends" and eliminate all.

Just use 2000 computers, hook them up with macros/keybinds and all into one keyboard/control panel. Spend 2 months training stealth bombers, bombs, and figuring out how to align them all in the same direction. Buy GTCs to pay for 2000 SBs and bombs. Then go have fun out in 0.0. I'd laugh so hard if I saw 2000 bombs being launched simultaneously into a 100+ person blob. That or train them all to be discogeddons and warp them all to jita 4-4 during peak hours after using one of the accounts to eject from a navy raven parked right outside.

interstingly (and i think rather a nobel thing to do), bill is giving away all his money (or at least most of it), he is attempting to cure some 3rd world desease.
i think he wants a peace prize before he hits the big scam in the sky.

I think he would be more interested in making real money. 
I saw a interview with him and the guy actually has some mental puzzles with him in the car so he doesnt get bored while waiting in lines... he is a interesting guy, highly intellectual without being boring.

Fortunately, he's more interested in spending his money on global health and education issues than winning internet spaceship games.

They usually lack the mentality and peace of mind to sit down and play a game though. They just start up some little side project that earns them a few mil.
Their kids however...

If Bill Gates hired the same kind of people that he hired to make his "oh so fabulous" OS's, I'd say we don't really have anything to worry about.
Honestly. If I was in a war against the same idiots that made Vista, I'd be piling up the bodies. Let him bring it.

Many ways around this.
Besides, how effective would 2000 players be? This means maybe 1 hour of play time a day after figuring in meetings etc. And how could you fight a battle? The subcommitee wouldn't even have had time to review the list of potential fc's much less approve official fittings!

hey! The demo looked awesome and the sale pitch rocked!
Besides, everything will be fixed in SpaceGame 2009 which will be released in 2010. You're running Windows 7 right?
