In the spirit of openness and to avoid any future claims against me, your friendly neighborhood Eve blogger would like to take a moment and make some points perfectly clear:
• I write this blog for FUN and take zero profit from doing so.
• There will never be a paid advertisement on this blog.
• I have NO way of knowing how many people read this blog and don't care. (Clarification: I DO care that people enjoy reading and leave comments and come back, but those are two different things. I want this blog to be great in other words, but "great" being mostly a self-constructed standard to which I am still striving.)
• I don't know anyone that works at CCP. I wouldn't mind knowing some and having an "in" there, for various altruistic reasons (like help with Death Race 2010) but I don't have that yet.
• Just so you know, I have been asked to be a contributor for EON Magazine and I am happy to do so. They came to me by the way and thank you Richie. Awesome guy. No money involved btw.
• I provide grossly cheap art and design services to HELP my fellow Eve players and bloggers. All proceeds benefit my PvP character in-game. A few people have written me asking for RL help and I have turned those down.
• Death Race 2010 is, I hope, going to be a fun event. ALL proceeds will be going to the event, prizes, etc. I won't be pocketing anything. Not a dime of isk.
I enjoy playing Eve and writing this blog. It isn't the most important thing in my life, it is in fact pretty far down the list. I am not looking for vapor fame, nor am I trying to please anyone but myself. I strongly believe that doing so will result in pleasing many more people. I would like for everyone that plays Eve to read this blog, that would be incredible and a lot of fun. That means that I do promote this blog when possible and when it makes sense to do so.
Heck, I just learned this morning that apparently CCP has some sort of "list" of fansites? Does anyone have a link they could share? Never knew that.
I hope this clears the air. If it needed clearing. Back shortly with another Gooder Eve and later with this week's 1v1.
