[Milo Caman]

Seems a little broken to me.
Maybe My standards are still to high after getaclone.

We have absolutely no idea what this website is, official or otherwise.

We knew about its existence for a while, and as far as I can tell it's purely player based.

None of us are certain if any CCP is behind this, although the fact it got the news was odd enough.

We're investigating to determine its validity, more will come as I get responses.

[mod]Topics merged and cleaned. Have fun! [/mod]

Given that it made the news, as Ghost mentioned, and quickly linked from an official CCP Twitter feed, I see no significant reason at this time to doubt its authenticity.

That said, the domain isn't registered to a CCP entity that I can tell, so there is that.

Nor the Whitewolf subsidiary?

And he is a copywriter for CCP.

[Ghost Hunter]

Why the gmail web contact address and claims of unaffiliation with CCP Games if he's responsible for the website?

Or is that simply who owns the servers?

[Casiella]

Where do you see claims of unaffiliation? And that's just who registered the domain. He could well have expensed it on a corporate card, for example.

Or you could call him and ask him. God, for his sake, I hope he didn't put his home number and address there.

[Ghost Hunter]

I will explain why I am so concerned about the legitimacy of this website.

There was a leak of some sort with throw away alt on the IGS detailing Nation incursion plans, even before we knew about them. I and a few others are concerned at this, because there is no precedent for CCP having done so in the past for any of us to call upon. They closely guard that information, presumably to prevent leaks of that sort from creating event campers.

Then this damn website shows up in the news?

It may all be a CCP plothook of some kind doing stuff in a manner that is simply without comparison and I am over reacting. If one of the live event devs went on Eve fiction and said EVERYTHING IS AWRIGHT, ITS ALL UNDER CONTROL, then I'll drop my concerns like a brick.

Until then, I and others will be watching this closely for any signs of wrong doing.

RPing will apply where appropriate, but this is some murky water we're walking through.

I solved the second puzzle; http://tinypic.com/r/x26r1h/7
It DOES lack one bit in the middle, though. Yeah well :p

[Casiella]

Ghost, good catch. I suppose I should update my blog post.

I don't think one's missing, I think your eyes might be a bit wonky instead.

Oh gawd now to compare that image to all temperate worlds in the cluster and w-space
