Operation Magic School Bus

I understand. I will find me another friend. Plenty of EVE players to go around.
Have fun!

With the new SKINR feature he could even make one for himself (assuming the Bowhead is supported in the feature and there are proper patterns to achieve the desired results) although a cutsom skin made by CCP would definitely be even better due to the additional details and features.

In case made by CCP I guess it would be available for purchase in the NES (unless it would be an event reward or something) in which case maybe a percentage (or even better all) of the proceeds could go directly to the OMSB initiative in the form of ISK or even PLEX.

Mike, I am new player, but have a couple of ships that I would like to donate all the same. How do I do that?

Youā€™re welcome!

Doesnā€™t work like that in the real world. Just like it doesnā€™t work in an environment that allows and scamming.

TBH it is you that convinced me that that this is a worthy cause. Yes you. See as much as you have ranted and foamed at the mouth. The message got through. Thank you for showing me that Mike is doing exactly what the game expects. Something that it is totally out of character of most players.

That confuses and boggles the mind of players. That have grown in cynicism of another player actually doing something. That is helpful to new player with out ripping them off at the same time.

You should get a decoration for it in gameā€¦ :crazy_face:

Yawn.

I held a Halloween party with a simple costume contest in another online game. I planned it with simple items from my bank, I had collected over time. As it turned out the very first year, I had a lot of people donating very pricey items to the contest. The next year I had to get help from guild members and they held other Halloween games and gave away prizes too. However the donations kept exceeding the contests as we would be given items during the player hosted event. If anyone in my guild was cynical before about online games being a scam, they sure werenā€™t anymore. We never asked anyone for donations, people were being generous just because we added more content to the game. The very last year, when I left, I shoved everything we owned into a castle bank and held my last contest. I gave away the castle, guild, and prizes. I have been there and done this, people are very giving and more honest than you want to believe.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist. ā€“ Carlin

That is great o7

Mike Azariah said in a post further up the thread, he didnā€™t log in very often as well as this, Eve Online, was only a hobby.

If I remember correctly, a ganker leader, James 315 also didnā€™t log in but every once and a while or maybe that was someone else that is part of CODE/Safety.

I have to wonder, with all of the non-record keeping and logging in every so often if MSB isnā€™t a front for ganking activities. Like I said before, based on contracts, which is another thing, does MSB put contracts up for ships and items on the market that any one is able to take? Convenient way to pass the buck making it a legal trade.

Just asking to see how the contracts are issued or how the money donated is spent based on items purchased by MSB that are then donated to new players.

I do take issue with this one. I log in and do the Bus almost every day (except when on vacation or if real life interferes. I think you could ask the folks in Rookie Help Chat if I am ā€˜occasional or regularā€™

If you open your Documents\EVE\logs\Gamelogs folder right now, you might be surprised how much this game tracks your every movement. If this is being recorded to your disk, just imagine what they record at CCP. They know everything you do, they probably even know how much bitcoin you are hiding from the IRS too.

Have fun!

Do you know of any running processes that collect data from software that is used while offline that might be part of a different program that records everything you do, your phone calls and even the persons name that is then used as a trigger in the real world to make a person believe that they dont have privacy unless you pay to stop their booshing?

No, but since you asked, this black van has been parked outside my place.

:fearful:
Have fun!
