So, I'm giving away
5B isk 10B isk, as described in this thread here (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=345.0). That is still the place to go if you have questions or want to suggest things for me to look at. Just make suggestions here, that works. This thread is for keeping track of the money given away. A '+' next to an amount means it is in addition to other ISK already given for the same project.
Here is the original post quoted for handy reference:
You know, I start so many of my positions and opinions with that line, these days: It's a big cluster.
Part of the reason is I just think that it can't be emphasized enough. OOC, that there is room for virtually any play style, and a whole multi-dimensional spectrum of sorts of RP. IC that nearly anything is possible, culturally and societally.
I think the easiest example is looking at RL earth. Not to draw specific parallels, in this case, but broader ideas. The very tiniest faction in Eve very likely lays claim to more people than live on this planet. Yet, looking just at this planet, the diversity is mind-boggling. This leads me to believe that it is probably literally beyond my capabilities to imagine the diversity in Eve, because I can't do it for one tiny, little planet that's right in front of me.
This applies to Eve, for me, in making very little unlikely in terms of diversity, and making many things unlikely in lack of scale (speaking here in reference to ISD articles where the numbers seem very often incredibly low).
It means that I always hope that a person coming to the setting will try and explore it that much further. That a veteran player will will find inspiration for something that might be, somewhere in Eve, and share it. That when I am exploring the setting myself I try and find new, unexplored nooks and corners to illuminate.
I said before, though, that I know I can't possibly imagine it - it is beyond me. So I turn to the rest of the community - you folks - to help. Places like this forum, or channels IG.
So, to that end:
I'm going to give away 5,000,000,000 isk. It isn't a contest, or a competition. When I see something that helps expand the world of Eve, for me, I will send the person involved some amount of isk. 10 million, 40 million, 250 million, it will vary.
It is an incentive, and a reward, for helping make my playing experience more than it was before. No entry will be required, though if you would like to draw my attention to something in particular, please just post here. I'll do this until the 5 billion I've set aside for it runs dry or Eve runs out of places to be explored - and I think I know which will come first.
If you don't wish to receive the money, just send it back, and I will keep it in the fund.
As a note, this is separate from the 'Grand Opening' event - which I have postponed until next Sunday.
A second note: The idea of giving away money didn't occur to me until near the end of this post. It just seemed to fit. The points I want to make here stand alone, too, so I am leaving it in the forum section I originally started to post it to.
These examples are by no means even close to comprehensive, just a small sampling. Some examples of what people might create:
A city, a shop or other business, a part of a station, a region on a planet, an asteroid colony, traditional stories, legends, urban legends, plants or animals, a sort of ground car, a style of architecture, rituals, traditions, holidays, religions, foods, languages, history, subcultures, communities... and it goes on.
I may add more to the examples later.
Money will be coming from character Hilion Narath or Silver Night.
Current amount left: 0
Supplemental 5 year anniversary amount: 4,880,000,000

Fairly sure it has nothing to do with that since Silver has had this going since 30th of april now.

There's a link in the initial post that explains it, was a publicity thing for Backstage.

More of a 'thanks for making RP better' thing. Though I do need to do some sort of Backstage publicity thing soon.
-
Also, just wanna remind everyone that if you see (or even do) something that might qualify, I would love to know about it - just post in this thread so I can go check it out. :D
-
I could save you time and just take that remaining 4b off your hands. >.> LORD KNOWS I could use the isk.

Did a little information tidbit on the Charon here. (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=826.0)
Also a short story thing involving the Blood Raiders here. (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=831.0)

RL has been a bit of a monster, recently. I'm hoping to get a chance to go over both things people have suggested, and things they haven't sometime in the next couple days and hand out some ISK though. :D

I've been trying to do some stuff on the Ida and Intaki Philosophy.

You didn't check the update Mammal, did you? :lol:
Also: I'm adding some more right now.

My bad.
Thanks!

Aha... thank you. Was wondering why my account mysteriously gotten bigger when it wasn't from the market, contract order, or payroll related.

Thanks for the isk! <3

Hey, thanks for the ISK Silver. Wasn't expecting it!

Also, everyone else should hurry before Ken gets like, all of my money :!:
Edit: Also, remember to point out through this thread, or through Pm or Eve mail if you see somethin' that might be deserving of some cash. I don't see everything everywhere. Yet. :yar:

Hah... just noticed I got a piece of the cake for Amarrad. Guess I don't really pay attention to my wallet journal anymore.
Cheers for the recognition though :D
-
Yeah, I'm a bit behind, I'll try and go through in the next couple days and send out more.
-
Updated with all the stuff I could find on a quick sweep. I'm a few months behind, though. If anyone knows of anything that deserves a look since last time I updated (mid-september) let me know. Also, I couldn't seem to find 'Bruno Bonner' IG - what's your character name, dude?
-
I neglected to thank you the first time around (mostly due to not realizing it), and that's a mistake I regret and won't repeat. I'm flattered and humbled that people have noticed and enjoyed the things I've written, and I'm doubly humbled by your generosity, Silver. Thank you.
-
Thanks, Silver! You are a paragon of this community, and I'm proud to know I've done something to expand your perception of New Eden. I'll do my best to keep 'em coming.
-
/me blinks and checks the list.
Oh, thank you. Guess I'll have to work harder to keep this thing going then.
-
Oh, wow. Very unexpected and thanks.
Btw, I just noticed that this was back up. Did I miss much?

Thanks Silver.

Louella Dougans - Fabulous Scripture - 30m - 1/9/11

May I bring attention to my Book of Prayers (http://www.praetorian-guard.org/upload/publications/Book_of_Prayers_and_Devotions.pdf)? ;)
-
Egotistical maniac that I am, I simply can't bear the thought of an Eve Online without my own personal brand of Mary Sue. So, please add these to your "strange little pockets of RP" list:
- Invocations (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=205431) - the first character sketch I wrote for Shin
- Spotlight on Akahoshi asteroid (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=55426) - a little blurb about the pocket culture Shin hails from
- Salvage (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=420077) - Even the poorest pod pilot is fabulously wealthy compared to dirtbound humans. This looks at the shadow industries that can develop around that fact.
- Obligations, Part I (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=409314) - an entry I wrote for an old Sani Sabik fiction contest, which won me my favorite faction cruiser.
- Obligations, Part II (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=418011) - a quickie piece to shine a little light on things that Omerta Syndicate were doing at the time
- Seeds (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=792614&page=1) - a journal entry that touches a little on my clade, and tries to bring in Omerta Syndicate RP, as well as the Red Star fiction my friend Ly'sol had written.
I love the idea, Silver, of giving away isk to encourage RP. I have a fair wallet, myself (well, enough for my desires, which lean in a distinctly non-capital direction). It sounds fun to do something like fund a novel RP corp.
-
May I bring attention to my Book of Prayers (http://www.praetorian-guard.org/upload/publications/Book_of_Prayers_and_Devotions.pdf)? ;)
Not that it counts for anything, but I also vote for the Book of Prayers...one link (among several) here:

Alright, I've been neglecting this for a bit (almost 2 years) but I'd like to get it started back up. See the first page for rules, conditions, and all the previous payouts.

Glad to see you reviving this... and not just because I have designs on the rest of your monies... :twisted:

How much did you get already? A bil, a bil five? :eek:

I-RED Event where a new planetary vehicle was revealed (the Ornithopter, a reference to Dune).
Creation and use of the State of Affairs 'Liberal' anchor - credit goes to Ken for the idea. I'm still open to post news articles for other Caldari players.
If any money is to be sent for these items, don't send it to me. Send it to Simca Develon to help afford a PLEX to resub.
-
A question, can these bounties be payed to corporations or is it individuals only?
-
Corporations too - though I tend to pay it to whoever I happen to see posting things. I think there's at least one corp that got a payout though (I might be wrong.)
-
This prompted me to go digging through my archive
of files that went to die of Eve writings, and I found a story that I don't think I ever published. To be entirely honest I'm not sure when I wrote it or what prompted it, except that it probably was written during the Sansha's Nation live events. (I put it in .pdf format; let me know if I need to repost it here on Backstage for consideration.)

Doesn't need to be on backstage - you don't even have to post in the thread for consideration (although that's easiest). You can drop me a lin IG or whatever too.
I had a HDD fail on me, but I should be able to go through new submissions in the next day or so. :D
-
Did get some new submissions added last time around. Also it's been about 2 years again, so time for a bump! Also going to top up the pot, I think.
-
Oh, I'd never seen this before.
I suppose I might as well submit my achura thing. (https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/History_of_the_Achura_%28Speculative%29)

One more motivation for me to actually write what I wanted to write the last month already...
-
Can I submit all my Origin stuff for this?
-
I dont' see why not, a link would be good. I have less time than I used to to wander around Eve related places finding stuff. :(
-
Alrighty, here are some links:

I confess, I hadn't really checked out your Origin stuff before. I like it a lot! Very detailed.

I didn't write any big articles or anything, but I did make some allusions here and there in the official forums.
For example, coffeeshops in Dodixie, as per the below quotes:
Perhaps you haven't heard the horror stories of baseliners trying to find a job in any place that isn't the Caldari State or the Amarr Empire. That particular line is exactly what they always have to hear.
Ah, I understand. It's not exactly a problem that's present in Caldari corporate culture, but I'm familiar with the issue in other cultures.
I'm glad that I was misunderstanding you.
Incidentally, Mr. Egivand, my corpmate, Sarangerel Mishi, tells me you have a deep knowledge of the coffee houses of the Dodixie FedNAP station. I find myself there regularly on business, perhaps you can make some recommendations.
She exaggerates. FedNAP is a very big place and I still had not explored 3/4 of the station. However, there's two I could recommend off the top of my head. Whether you prefer one over the other depends on taste.
Note that neither of these serve Kaf'fak.
If your taste is of the traditional one, I recommend 'The Caravan'. You can't miss it. It's the only place in the station that is bathed in an orange glow and is covered in lush carpets. The cafe follows a self-service format though so expect to make your own coffee with the Ibrik the owner (who is a Thukker, by the way) will hand to you. The blend, however, is very unique (and with a hint of spice) and you will be hard pressed to find it anywhere else in Federation space. Don't bother asking how it's made though. The owner will only answer with 'Trade Secret'.
If your taste is more modern, I suggest 'The Jump Start'. It's one of those coffeeshops where they use a steam-driven apparatus to produce a very concentrated brew. However, all the ingredients are fresh. Even the milk. The establishment prides itself with its quality of service and quality of the brew. They also have a very extensive menu to work with and half their blend choices have nuts and fruits in them.
Yes, it's a Gallente coffeeshop.
While we are still on the subject of coffeeshops, I heavily advise avoiding any shop that carries the sign 'Ace Cadets'. They all taste the same and the milk always overpower the coffee. Not to mention the patrons there are the sort who will dress in a style from a century ago and sneer at you, plus that 'before it's cool' nonsense.
Anyone who wishes to make use of these coffeeshops when baselining in Dodixie might be interested in using these.

Small update, though I'm currently poking around a bit in case there's stuff I've not noticed somewhere.
-
I didn't even know this was a thing. It's a very cool thing though.
I'll be sure to drop a link if I come across something of note that you may have missed.
-
I guess I made up something eventually (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=6731).
With its related fiction (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=6503.0).
-
If this is still a thing, I'd like to submit my Amarr chronicle/short story references compilation (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=6761.msg114282#msg114282) and my Amarrian politics primer (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=6775.msg114405#msg114405).
-
Just in it for the money, huh? Material gurl.
-
I'll be checking out submissions from this month later today. :D
-
Hey there. From the Style section, here is an idea I have toyed with for some time: what people do to cover their pod jacks while out of pod. Please take a look at A Window Wide Open (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=6780.msg114437#msg114437).
I do not actually need the money, got money already, but would be interesting to see what other players do with this. I think that at least Morwen and Andreus do this already, one way or another.

Added 1, currently looking for more if anyone has any candidates. :D

I'd just like to say thank you for this initiative Silver. Really great works of player fiction in here (at least, the ones where the links are still functional lol) :)
