To be honest having just read this, I found it absolutely hilarious.
We were wondering whether Chribba was being favoured not the other day for being an Eve celebrity. When someone tried impersonating him got banned yadda yadda.
Well now I guess not.
At least you have the huge fame and the billions upon billions of easy isk to be greatful for, and neither of them are likely to die out fast.
Seeing as it's Chribba we have the celebrity psychology think going and the usual *******s are instead going oohhh noooo. My poor chribba etc...
So I'll say it, as Chribba has said it himself to other people in their threads and so have the rest of you at one point or another fanbois. Well guess what? It's YOU thats been hit with the nerfbat now, hurts doesn't it?
Adapt or Die.
Waaa Waa Waaa,
Mmmm, capital dreadnaught tears,
etc...

I don't blame any CCP Employee for not posting in this thread.
Bar a dozen or so thought out posts there's practically a mob of jackals ready to pounce on any poor CCP employee who happened to even try.
You've only yourselves to blame for no CCP response in this thread, if you weren't a bunch of flaming idiot banshees then maybe we'd be within 5 light years of an intelligent debate.
I'll admit I'm not a particular fan of Chribba, that doesn't mean I hate him or gives you right to play the worn out jealous card on me. Just that I never warmed to him.
Though even though I disagree with his OP in opinion at least he still manages to come off looking 10 times cleverer and more balanced in judgement then 90% of the posters in this thread.
I think he's right what he said a bit later on, I don't think most of you are helping his cause at all with your spamming.

While I don't care too much either way whether Chribba keeps his dread in highsec.
What I find extremely disturbing is.
1. The mass amount of unwashed unthinking idiots who follow Chribba like a cult leader rather when a well respected player.
2. The chance that maybe they are only passing it off as an internal communication failure and they actually caved in to forum whining yet again.
If there is any truth in point 2 any faith I had in CCP's grand plan is dead and buried.
On the bright side if it's true, we can go necro the level 4 threadnaught and throw some more whinage and hits on it again till dev response!. Bring your 20 alts to post too!

I wonder what would happen just supposing.
Despite being ridiculously difficult in action and in response. What if some group somehow managed to blow up Chribbas dreadnought?
Do you reckon we'd get a ridiculous thread like this again till he was given another one in Amarr? Cause I'm sorta thinking... yes.

1) Chribba IS a well respected player, hence the turn out.
2) Anything you disagree with is labeled a whine. I think of it as more the playerbase letting CCP know how they feel about player made content getting tossed out with the wash. So apparently you do care (and oppose the idea of him having a dread in hisec), otherwise you wouldn't have called it a whine.
3) What the hell was it hurting? The veldnaught making certain posters feel inadequate or something? It's like complaining about the guy who has the luxury yacht. You say you don't care, but you do care about other people caring? WTH?
4) Quit being a nerd. Just because you don't have strong feelings about a particular subject doesn't mean that those who do are whining and crying. And there's quite a bit of difference about a piece of game content which doesn't affect anyone other than it being a status symbol of sorts compared to the debates about other game mechanics WHICH DO AFFECT TONS OF PEOPLE.
I think you're just being ****y for the sake of it.
I am not Jealous of people who want to have their capital ship placed in a particular system that can't do anything useful other then let them wave it around outside the station like a big wang to wow the noobs.
I am jealous of :
1. People with Titans. (although to be honest too much responsibility so maybe no.)
2. People with 100 million skillpoints. (yes please, do want. )
What I DO care about is I think CCP are simply backtracking through pressure, and it's looking all too common.
1. Suicide nerf - Caved in through pressure.
2. Nanonerf - Balance test removed from test server and under revision through player pressure.
3. Now this as well apparently.
I hope I'm wrong but CCP are looking pretty spineless from where I'm sitting at the moment.
If I really cared about changing this situation then it's hard to remove the dreadnaught without nerfing Chribba, I mean you could make it more official and award him a unique ship possibly a dreadnaught variant for service to the eve comminity. like the ships awarded in tournaments, but I wouldn't even want to begin how you'd make fair judgement and decisions on who and why someone deserves something like that when it's not clear cut winners like an eve tournaments.
Gives more weight to it then sloppy patching changes that left capitals stuck in highsec.

Point 2 was unfair, indeed I'll withdraw it.
but
Do you expect me to believe supposedely new GM acting on their own accord removed every single capital ship in highsec to lowsec without no consulting or discussion with other staff?
yeah right...

No just the veldnought.
All other high sec caps were not moved.
And again how do you know this? Did every single person with a high sec cap login today to check and see and then post? I doubt it.
if you read this topic you would have seen a few post that their high sec caps were fine and not moved.
Some source please?
I've been through this whole thread and I see nothing about other peoples capital ships.
And from when I read the petition in the assembly rooms section, it was clearly implied by various people in the first few pages that we're talking about a few capital ships.

Quote: if you actually read the rules they put in place, then you would konw that it pretty much is a "unique" ship, any abuse of the capitals in high sec is disciplined strongly through use of 2 week ban AND the low sec boot, i dont think anyone who has them in high sec is goign to risk getting that ban stick
1. Chribbas dreadnaught is exactly the same as the dreadnaughts you get in lowsec and nullsec so no it's not a unique ship.
2. Where did I bring up dreadnaught aggression?
3. Improve your spelling and grammar a little so I can take you a bit more seriously.
The rule is only for wardecs anyway. Which chribba said he'd never undock under receiving one. Even a dread dies in a split second to concord.

The question you have to ask yourself is; who supports that sight that the *majority* of those videos are hosted on ? Chribba.
Chribba owns youtube?
HOLY SHIT!
Just wondering though, by what logic to you come up with "If player has got/done website/help for community, player get's x ingame, just because..."
As I would like a Titan, but not willing to pay $5000 in GTC's to get one etc...
But if I come up with something, I dunno, christmas presents for the children of eve players or something, do I get popularised and have it pushed forth in my favour?
I'm not saying take Chribbas veldnaught out of Amarr, I'm saying I think your logic is flawed.

That's nothing Cid. If they still hadn't have given Chribba his Veldnaught back we'd be on about page 200 by now, and all posts would have degenerated into "ugh ugh, smash ccp".
I don't know about you but I've never had any of my reimbursement petitions answered in a matter of hours.
Did anyone work out whether or not he's still allowed to mine in it?

Chribba will never be suicided, it's almost impossible.
It would take a stupid amount of battleships, you'd need double the amount due to the double concord response times, and you'd need around 3 or 4 times what you'd use for a freighter due to the dreadnaught armor. Also due to the new cap/neut/nos ability use non cap weapons I think. And because it's 1.0 sec, triple the amount of bs's you take again compared to 0.5.
I think you'd be looking at something like 260 Maelstroms to make a serious attempt. I've been in a fleet of 70 that took 6 seconds just to kill a marauder, which is just not quick enough had it been empire.
Its pretty damn funny to me though how CCP in principle won't make an area a safe zone cause everyone shouts WoW! but they'll make it anything but... They'll edge right up to the edge of the line but they won't cross it.
Why don't they end the pretence, come out of the closet and make the highsec a safezone? Don't give me the crap about it's just harder, it is a safezone. |

You wouldn't be able to control anything with that many ships, you'd all lag out. Therefore - safe. |
