Our names, up in lights!

This is an excellent time for the blogging and podcasting communities of Eve. Firstly, CCP have released a dev blog which highlights the depth of involvement, and the passion and commitment invested, by those who choose to share their experiences, opinions and thoughts about the universe within which we fly our internet spaceships.
A special, and very well deserved might I add, mention was given to the Blog Banters and the brilliant job (and hard work) that Seismic Stan does in trying to herd cats through a tiny door in the hope that something vaguely coherent will result. I must admit that I (and no doubt most of the bloggers in Eve) are very jealous, and would love our own blogs to get a mention in an official dev blog, but congratulations Mr Stan – and keep up the good work (which reminds me, I need to post a response to the new blog banter).
In addition to this, EON Magazine has, in its latest edition, also drawn a deep breath and dared to look at the grim underbelly of Eve to discover what us bloggers get up to.
All in all, it’s a great time to be writing or talking about Eve.











In my defence, since I ghost-wrote that devblog, I had deliberately avoided any personal promotion in my original draft. They added the mention of me and although I did ask them to dial it back, on reflection I should have asked them to remove it entirely as I agree, it’s not very fair.
Ultimately, it’s about all bloggers and I have no intention of hogging the spotlight. Promoting the community is my primary purpose and that’s the underpinning principle of the Blog Banters and my upcoming EON article.
I definitely wasn’t trying to imply that the dev blog mention was unfair or unwarrented – in fact the opposite really applies. It would have been wrong to not mention you when the banters were covered… very wrong. Sit down and accept the praise and spotlight
