Well, CCP has done it, Snowballs MMVIII (Snowballs 2008 edition).  WOO HOO!!!!!

We all had something sitting in our hangers this morning after downtime.  You received 300 snowballs and a snowball launcher.  If you are stuck at work, be sure to take a look at the pictures below.  To be honest, I remember the reasons why we didn’t get these for the past few years.  Hopefully no one will fall prey to Concord when they return fire with regular weapons!!  UPDATE, seems that will NOT be the case, very good thinking (http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=951782&page=4#118)

Have fun with the snowballs, they won’t last long!!!  They should all be melting by January 6th or at least, that’s what I am thinking, read http://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=2632&tid=1 for more information!

Some back story is needed here.  A fellow corp mate was playing around with his Carrier, toying with some of our war targets.  Everything was fine, he was laughing about the engagement.  Then the tone of his voice in went from playful to panic.

“Guys, uhm, HELP!!!”

We make out best speed to assist him and in the end, we were successful.  Needless to say, he was very happy to not have lost his carrier.

When I logged into EVE last night, I had received a medal:

I am honored to have received a medal, but the “Star of Manlove”?  Yeah, we are a fun bunch in our corp.  We like to shock each other with “lolz” moments.

So, what kind of medals have you received so far?  Any ideas for some fun medals to give to your fellow corp mates?

Today’s topic, EVE Haiku.  There is a growning thread on the EVE forums, http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=902996, that you may want to take a gander at when you have some time.  A few of the gems are below:

“Crielere”

Ring of fire secrets abound
Human scientist forge in depths of creation
Factional struggle erases cherished gain

“Mirror”

I empire GANK
You 0.0 BLOB
Who is the TRUE tool?

Untitled from GM Horse

Help, stuck in Jita
Petitions everywhere
People need my help

Earth

A message sadly never sent
Wormholes closed without prior warning to both
“We’ve survived, long lost brethren!”

Anyway, someone took offense to me being gagged and tried to get ccp to lift it.  It’s no worries though, the gag was only for 2 hours.  I’ll know better next time, no typing in caps, no matter how important the intel on the incoming battleship gang.

It’s got a nice artistic impression of my in game portrait though:

Anyway, here is the thread on the EVE forums, enjoy the fun!!!  UPDATE, CCP Mitnal locked the thread already.  Oh well…

Sorry.

I had to do that.

Something happened in Jita, must have been a very LARGE gank, maybe a freighter in a safe spot with a whole slew of packaged noob ships. Many people on threads on the forums think it was shuttles, but the size of a shuttle would mean several freighters. If you find out what happened, please do post it on the EVE forums or put a comment here, I am really curious

For those of you who are married or are involved in a relationship, you know what I am talking about. EVE, as much fun as it is, is just a game. Real life has it’s rewards too. So, as we finish up our vacation, I wanted to post something to let everyone know what was up.

Below, is a screen shot I took some weeks ago and never got around to posting. Since I have some time this morning, I thought I would share this piece of can art.
