Hey guys,

A quick update on the status of the rewards. After a little hiccup, all the digital rewards have now been distributed, and all winners should have their in-game items and PLEX.

Collecting all the necessary shipping information took longer than expected but we are in a good spot to dispatch the packages from our headquarters in Reykjavik early next week. This means that winners will be receiving tracking details from us shortly after

This has been a fantastic contest and are grateful for your patience with less than ideal time to receive all of your rewards. Please feel free to let us know in this thread if there is anything else missing.

3rd place - Everything changes, nothing is truly lost by Morgan Tsukiyo

… and besides, for how long will we tolerate such brusque and overt display of this absurdity that is upon Saisio VIII? Does Sukuuvestaa need to constantly remind us that we are prisoners within our own home, even if under the disguise of a Workers Union Parade? To say that the Achura abbot was in fury would be an understatement.

The impeccably clothed Peace and Order Unit officer calmly enjoyed his tea with his eyes shut while sited upon his knees, barely acknowledging the emotional torrent upon him, and not letting it spoil the precious moment. He grew up in that temple, and often returned to visit it to enjoy the tea, relax at the gardens near the waterfall and commune with old friends, but this time the visit was about work.

We have been over this issue many times my dear Kōsa. While there are many Achurans in high positions within SuVee, myself included, for the moment it is still the Caldari Prime ways that m...

2nd place - Customs by Zycorax

A series of bleeps came through the integrated speaker in the computer console. He cast a quick glance at the screen to his left, showing a map of the solar system. A red, pulsating dot had just shown up on top of one of the stations near the centre of the system; a cynosural field.

“Not my problem,” he mumbled to himself, looking back at his primary screens. He stared at the depressingly short list of exports, and even shorter list of imports, that had yet to be processed. By the looks of things, it was going to be another slow shift for him.

He looked to his left again. The red dot was still there, blinking ominously. It wasn’t all that uncommon for capsuleers to use this system as a midpoint in their travels, but as it was just another backwater system in the middle of nowhere, they rarely stayed for long.

A different series of bleeps suddenly came through the speaker. The scanners had picked up something approaching at warp speed. Five signatures in ...

1st place - Outlaw’s Lament by Xeromus Plague

“All hands to the main deck.”

The message came blaring over comms, jarring me from my sleep. The computerized voice repeated itself, echoing ominously throughout the dimly lit red halls of the starship Kali. Half awake, I pause to consider the irony in this order - “all hands” was no more than a 200-man skeleton crew, aboard a Triglavian battleship fit for a few thousand. The quarters were so spacious, the staff had taken to claiming entire barracks as personal sleeping spaces, decorating them with treasures and souvenirs from their own travels. I yawned, and tapped the glowing red triangle on my communicator to indicate I’d received the order.

Though I disliked having my limited sleeping shifts disrupted, I begrudgingly strapped on my boots and prepared to make my way to the central command chambers. I’d signed up to serve under Subcommandant Plague in the early days of the Triglavian invasion; hoping to do my part against Edencom, expecti...

Hello story lovers!

We finally have the winners of the GM Week 2020 Short Story Competition! That‘s right: we have some excellent EVE Online fiction for you to read and some authors that have earned prizes! I will post the three winners in this thread in descending order, chosen by the GM team as is tradition with GM Week competitions.

We received way more submissions than we anticipated and I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to write a story and sending it to us. It hardens my shields and repairs my structure to see so much enthusiasm for New Eden and everything that happens in it.

The winners will be contacted via email through our ticket system for further dialog and dispensation of prizes.

Greetings my Lovelies!

Write a short story inspired by EVE Online, either in-universe or out!

For this years GM week we invite you to put your EVE Online connected experiences and feelings on paper (or in a text document). Nothing is off limits: a serious retelling of an exciting venture or a humorous tale from some fleet operation, the most memorable propaganda or something that came from EVE Online, dramatized in-character stories and informal recounts of heroism/strategy/betrayal/friendship. We want to read something made by you, the players.

Submissions are open now, and will be open until 23:59 on Thursday the 17th of September. Write down anything and everything you can think of in the form of a text document and send to us at [email protected]. Subject of the email should be Short Story, and remember to detail your user name and character name.

You can also publish the story right here in this forum thread,

The maximum words of the story should be in the vicinity of 2000 w...

Honored Capsuleers!

Are you a player determined to make everything and anything work? A veritable space-MacGyver when it comes to the computer you want to play on? Then we have a competition for you.

We want to see your badly optimized computer setup that has no business running EVE Online - but still does! This includes the hardware in the machine used to run EVE Online and the actual battle-station itself, within health and safety regulations of course.

A CRT monitor sitting on an open, flat computer case using an on-board graphics card on an outdated motherboard, all standing on a table made out of cardboard boxes? Please snap a few pictures with different angles and send us an email with them to [email protected], along with the hardware specifications of it and video proof that you manage to play EVE Online on it (by undocking or mining for example. Bonus points if you manage to destroy others!), and you might just be the winner in this competition! Subject of the email shou...

Esteemed ship fitters!

Is it a hobby for you to get PvP kills in a sub-optimally fit ship? Then GM week has the competition for you!

We want to see kill reports where you engaged another player or players in a veritable disaster-fit, a ship fitting that is not something you should ever undock with. It shouldn’t require mention, but we will know if you collude or script or in any way try to make yourself look good by shooting your friends Caracal in a battle badger, and we will be very cross with you.

Send in a video, a kill report, or a fun stream clip of you engaging in PvP in a ship that has no business being in PvP. We want to encourage true GM week shenanigans with ship hulls not doing what they do best. The more inventive you are the better, and bonus points for long engagements, kills, and hull tanked vessels (we love honor tanking).

Send us an email to [email protected] with your submission, be it a video or a screenshot or a kill report. Subject of the email should be Wor...
