no if CCP actually has their people in contact with the gambling people and is helping them (special ships for somer, avoid RMT bans, etc.) there's probably some communications that could be subpoenaed. If CCP gets investigated by the DOJ for involvement with online gambling at best it'll be expensive lawyers and fines, at worst they'll be barred from doing business in the US.

Sorry bud, I don't think the DoJ is going to save the cfc

They shouldn't be making any rl money? They should just be getting isk off of it, hence why they're able to bankroll it. I read that huge gently caress off pastebin log and there's no rmt conspiracy. Suas was probably a dipshit and bought isk (again?) and fix lag is chugging the koolaid

People rage at CCP because they might miss out on SP when the servers goes tits up and you think they won't do the crazyest things like alarm clocking to get their 10k sp every 22 hours?

A bunch of fairly damaging logs from MBC leadership convos that directly implicate some of them (SUAS) in RMT, and implicitly for a lot of the rest.

The two money shots are

- one of the speakers saying that a number of characters, IWI bankers, have been banned. And that he's going to message CCP foxfour about getting them unbanned. Normal people can't do this, you have to petition though the support system and cant send mails to devs.

- some of these logs were pasted to /r/eve by goons, and they were quickly deleted by the mods. There's a log that implies the IWI banker has enough influence with the /r/eve mods to get harmful posts deleted.

i don't think the doj will save anyone cause it could very will kill eve if CCP can be linked to running some kind of online gambling deal

there's been a massive explosion of video-game based betting/gambling/pseudo-sweepstakes going on over the last few years, especially with valve games (aka csgo and dota 2), and i don't think it'll escape oversight forever (who knows maybe it will im not the attorney general)

generally whenever there's some kind of investigation and effort to clamp down stuff is pretty widespread and hamfisted and it's often sorted out by lawyers

Partially true. There was a Russian Aluminium Magnate who spent many many thousands to fund an alliance. I have no idea if it was really 300K though.

and make them interesting, because "kill one npc" is not great. it should be something that pushes people out of their comfort zone or gets them to try something new. maybe "enter a wormhole" or "do exploration" or "engage in pvp"

it was a while ago (like 06-07?) but i thought it was pretty clear that this was true. i wanna say that back then people sold GTC's on eve-o and one dude was selling huge amounts of them or something? i drank too much over the last decade to really know if im remembering correctly.

I don't know why CCP is trying to encourage people to engage in what is the crappiest part of their game; the worst in class PVE.

It's easy and drives up the daily log-in count so the games looks less dead for potential investors/media. Wars also make people log-in too but the don't last as long as the SP carrot will.

So for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what email was associated with my old eve account or remember my drat username/password to log in. Are there any restrictions of note on the 14 day free trial thing? Do we have any sort of "go here to get a referral so we can throw the money from selling PLEX into the war funds" kinda thing? If I'm having to start from scratch I might as well at least contribute a PLEX to the cause.

Try logging into goonfleet dotte com and checking what your forum name is/what was the email you used to register with goonfleet.com. If you forgot that, Vyst loves getting PMs on Something Awful, and you should PM him asking for account infomation on the SA account used to register for GF.com.

I assume you already searched all your E-mail inboxes for eve related messages.

Try logging into goonfleet dotte com and checking what your forum name is, which should be the name of your first character. Once you have that, try talking to CCP support. Ask them to do something like "send a mail to the eve account associated with this E-mail" and see if you get one.

Did you already do a search of your all your e-mail inboxes for eve-related messages?

Yeah, I checked all my normal email inboxes, but it's been a few years since I played so I may have been on a yahoo email that I can't get into anymore. As it is, other than an Iteron V I didn't really have much. I was a highsec miner/space trucker who didn't know enough about the game to dare venture out to 0.0 without friends and at the time I had just created a SA account so I couldn't get into Goonfleet. I'll keep looking around, but if worse comes to worse I can always start out and go find me another Rifter to die in over and over for glory.
