Pretty dumb idea overall if you ask me. Hopefully the balloon is ghetto as **** so they aren't wasting a lot of money on "RL spaceships" vs. the Internet variety. |

cool story bro? The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Into space with a balloon is not going to happen. Not even close
"The balloon can only rise up until the atmosphere surrounding it has the same weight as the helium in the balloon. This happens at about a height of 20 miles (32 kilometers) above Earth's surface. So, this is as far as a helium balloon can rise. Outer space starts somewhere around 600 miles (960 kilometers) above Earth's surface."

and here i thought this was going to be real space, as in floot it up as far as it can go and use a rocket to launch a USB with the eve game files in to space, and all the names of EvE players so when the aliens find it and see how EPIC and cool the people playing eve are they know who to come give free space ships to, I love the the smell of victory in the morning.

From a very reliable source I heard the conversations at CCP's HQ now go a lot like this..
Random exec: Zulu!...get us four tea's and a coffee please.
Zulu: Wibble Wibble..
Random exec: Zulu..the door, use the door.
Zulu: Wibble?
sometime later....
Random exec: where's the tea?
Zulu: WWWIIIIBBBLLLEEEE!!!
Random exec: ohhh dear Zulu..perhaps just push the door instead? |

Or put us on "to eliminate first" list since we seem to have access to high technology internet spaceships they can't find anywhere and we might be able to thwart their invasion plans. |

I forget, how much money has CCP and the player base donated to charities and disaster relief so far... it in the neighborhood of a few hundred thousand if I recall correctly.

Powered by the laws of physics and mysterious Terran technology, the spacefaring vessel will travel to altitudes exceeding 100,000 feet and into the realm of near space. A camera will record the voyage of all EVE capsuleers, united in one fleet for the first time, as they crest the curve of the planet.

A lot more money is wasted on much stupider things, your argument is weak at best. Actually, CCP doing this makes us internet spaceship pilots happy and is also a cool publicity stunt (marketing, you know). So I don't think it is a waste of money.

Half the reason theres starving kids there at all is because we keep giving them money, had it not been for charity then most of those unfortunate humans would have sought there own means to survive, maybe moved on to somewhere less inhabitable, developed their survival skills etc.
Instead we give hand outs until they are so dependant on them it actually causes their own demise, we send money, they have kids, we send more money to pay for the kids and they have more kids. No one ever seems to notice this visious circle because most people are too wrapped up in 'feeling good about giving' to notice that they are destroying a part of human culture.
I know this post is gunna get me a lot of hate, but think for a second, does money ever really improve things in those countries? Has charity ever done anything more than prolong the suffering? Aside form the odd water well that cost practically nothing to drill. The more money gets sent, the worse things get.
Our char pics in a high altitude ballon is a great idea, its fun and will be good publicity for the game. |
