CCP must be run by idiots in a very disorganized manner. Imagine this:
You get a great job working on a project you love as an at-will employee. Your boss comes in and tells you to do the most insane thing possible that you think will sabotage your project. Do you tell your boss he is an idiot or do you go along with it knowing you'll lose your job if you say anything.
Seems like everyone in PR for CCP is an idiot or too at-will to say anything. To bad one department run by idiots has to ruin what is normally a pretty fun game (at times). |

God. They give out what, 30 scorpions and people start bitching up a storm. Talk about pathetic.
Please, unsub. Get out of here. Or contribute to the community and have a chance at getting rewarded for the effort if you manage to do something major. Most of the people bitching have zero chance to get any reward for doing anything because they are too stupid to set anything decent up in the first place. |

Indeed, because its all about who gets the rewards from CCP now.. It used to be a spaceship game where the game content was how you earned stuff. I already unsubed btw. I only have one account, so no big deal, it will run out in January
I predict they continue with this stupidity and sooner or later even the slow ones will get it why it is a bad idea. I will see it in the news and soon after return to read the apologies, to amuse myself on the new promises about how awesome it will be from now on. And then I will resub because i'm stupid. or not! |

Funny thing is, it still is. So a select few that have had an impact on the eve community get some random collectors ship, so what? I think the guys who make the fitting tools for the game should be rewarded in the same way. And Chribba, don't forget him.
I want to see a Chribba Issue Veldnaught. I hate miners but his contributions have been amazing. |

It is most frequently used, I've noticed, when there is no scandal at all, like Climategate, or this rubbish. Okay, so you seem to know where the suffix 'gate' comes from. Now we just need to clear up your definition of 'scandal'.. scan-+dal (skndl) n. 1. A publicized incident that brings about disgrace or offends the moral sensibilities of society: a drug scandal that forced the mayor's resignation. 2. A person, thing, or circumstance that causes or ought to cause disgrace or outrage: a politician whose dishonesty is a scandal; considered the housing shortage a scandal. 3. Damage to reputation or character caused by public disclosure of immoral or grossly improper behavior; disgrace. 4. Talk that is damaging to one's character; malicious gossip.
Congratulations, you can read a dictionary. So far, nothing has caused any outrage. There is no outrage. There's a lot of overreacting and tantrum throwing, but no outrage. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

I can postulate, and if you'd read my last post on the first page before you jumped down my throat to 'learn history' you'd know what that postulation was. Fact is, there is no more point to throwing the word 'gate' into the name of every scandal that catches popular attention than there is adding the prefix 'Mc' to the beginning of every tasty burger.

One more time i'll point it out for the clueless masses:
They don't care. You either make it a *real* issue for them, or admit that you are clueless, whining, decadent, spoiled children who believe that bitching around, even collectively, is enough to get taken seriously. |

Well, to be fair, the thread in question was discussing the whole issue... not just the 30 IScorps. And the root of the issue is in the two threads linked. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

no it wasn't, it was specifically discussing why secretly handing out assets to people with no set criteria is ******* dumb. aside from somer being the recipents of the bevolence, the two have nothing in common.

They don't need to care, because "you" don't give them reason to care, thus there is no real reason to read the thread in the first place.

No, it seems pretty clear to me that CCP had different reasons for the two giveaways. For the EVE Vegas event I'm sure CCP would have rather liked to do it themselves, but they didn't have any of the infrastructure to do such a thing themselves. Of course they overlooked some of the problems inherent in doing this (which is a separate issue entirely from the original prizes they chose for this event). Whereas for the SIW giveaway their intent was, as they stated, to reward them directly. EVE Online - A Rigged Game |

There are several different levels of negotiation. While ultimately subscriptions are our only real bargaining chip as you keep reminding us (like we didn't already know), unsubscribing too quickly doesn't exactly tell CCP why we're unhappy and what they could do better. We're waiting to get comment from them before deploying the nuclear option, as it were. EVE Online - A Rigged Game |

Believe it or not, you do not get to decide when someone else is outraged. That's pretty much up to them. Similarly, if enough people are outraged over an issue it constitutes a scandal, whether you think it should or not. Some people don't think that politician's philandering should generate enough outrage to create scandals. Suck it up, buttercup.
There is no outrage here, sorry. Even if you feel outrage, it's based on a misunderstanding at best, outright jealousy at worst. That doesn't constitute justified outrage in a rational man's book. I like how you specifically bolded the parts of the dictionary definition that suited how you feel about the situation, that agree with how you feel about the situation, instead of actually trying to rationally understand the situation.
Tell me, do you think evolution is a scandal? Because creationists certainly claim to feel 'outrage' over that as well.
Simplistic dictionary definitions are all well and good, but they rarely if ever cover all nuances of word usage in the English language, just the ones that are academically approved generalisations of the word.
