Are you thinking about Fanfest 2017, but you haven't gotten tickets yet? Let me help you make up your mind. CCP has given fansites an extra ticket to give away, so here goes. The contest is simple: comment on this post about what you like to see in Eve fansite blogs (as opposed to full-blown media sites like CZ, EN24, IN, etc). I'd appreciate it if you can point out if my blog here has ever covered what you want, but if you're just honest and say "I never read your blog until this contest" then that's fine too.
I'll choose a random comment that fits that description on Friday and have CCP send you the ticket. Make sure you include some way for me to contact me in your post!
CCP legalese-type notes: Tickets are only for admission for Fanfest itself. This ticket does not include any extra events that require separate tickets, and CCP is not offering to pay for your hotel or flights. CCP will not be able to send goodie bags to those that can’t attend in person.
On that last point, I'd be pretty annoyed if the winner of the ticket didn't go, so please don't enter if you don't think there's a decent chance you'll go. To help incentize that, I'll throw in a free drink for the contest winner if we can get together at some point during Fanfest.
Good luck!
That's a neat action, shame I don't have vacation options at that date.
ReplyDeleteJust look at the amount of replies by people looking for a free fanfest ticket.
DeleteWell, a lot may have to do with this being a pretty small blog too. See also reply to next comment down I'm about to post too.
DeleteEven if you don't want/need a ticket though - what do you like to see in Eve blogs?
Maybe you should advertise this on Reddit or somewhere? I just stumbled over this by accident. Shame I can't go, thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteYou've stumbled on my sekrit plan! Since I think my blog normally has a small readership my thought was to post to Reddit on Wednesday and see how much the hits and comment change at that point. No slight meant to either population group, just as a data collection tactic.
DeleteEven if you don't want/need a ticket though - what do you like to see in Eve blogs?
Don't play much EVE even if I still follow some blogs, what I liked were those ship and fitting guides Gorski and others sometimes published. But mostly I read blogs like Localectomy, Cloaky Bastard, TAGN, people talking about their adventures and capable of makign it sound interesting instead of hours of boredom and 10 seconds of action before someone dies.
ReplyDeleteI read your blog - but I won't be at Fanfest and don't require a ticket. Interesting question about what people want to see in EVE blogs - I was hoping to see some feedback from others.
ReplyDeleteI honestly dont read very much community stuff but heres how I imagine a great blog to be: deeply personal with a niché. It could be humour, a political POV, colorful story of chracter deveploment, contempletion of your place in the vastness of the game, a collection of weird discussions you imagined having with someone about the game that didnt know the game, so and so on. Something that grips your curiosity and allows you to empathize.
