Anti-sansha representing ITT.

And no, I don't have a Christmas Carol set to eve content. My creative dial is firmly in the 'off' position.

Oh go on then....



Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

The mods were asleep, and some watching House.

Their Forum Trends were filed in their folders with care

In hopes that EVE’s Sansha Claus would soon be there.



The forums were quiet, with not an alt posting

The flamers instead would give turkeys a-roasting

And Fallout, and Zymgist and StevieSG

Had fallen asleep at ole CCP...



When on company email there arose such a thread,

That made Wrangler’s eyes pop out of his head

Away to the forums he flew, “My oh My!

Amazing! They did it- the macros have died!”



Then Fallout awoke and decided to send,

A couple of questions for each forum trend.

Then Shanghai awoke, from across the nation,

to answer petitions on harsh moderation ;p



And soon all were working, and discovered with glee

That the Yule Lads contest had made players yippee!

Manifest popped champagne, and started the toasts:

“Learning Skills got removed, the players made posts!”



"Now Spitfire, now Adida, now StevieSG

Now Navigator, now Fallout, now Zymurgisty!

Your reports were perfection, your trends were divine

The players aren’t flaming, they’re having a good time!”



And lo, even Wrangler, 'The Bossman' was pleased,

and chuckled as people used the forums with ease.

Trolls sent in apologies, cordial and gay,

explaining their rage in a civilized way.



And PR campaigns rolled in new EVE subscriptions,

for the best MMO in all science fiction!

Blizzard gave up their fight, publicly exclaiming:

“That EVE Online gig is the best thing in gaming!”



And the sandbox grew, and the community exploded,

The forum upgrades had arrived fully loaded,

The Isk famer (boo!) stayed asleep in his bed,

And when he woke up, he farmed cornfields instead.



The News Dev Blogs flourished, which gave readers all boners!

Hacked characters returned to their previous owners!

The GM team’s petitions were magically done!

Said GM Guard, “God bless us, everyone!”



Incursion was perfect, the patch notes supreme

Oh what a fun day for the Community team!

“Now kids let’s remember,” said Wrangler so proudly,

“To thank our friend Sansha!” the rest cheered on loudly.



And as the team went about doing their work

Outside the window, in red and white shirt,

Was Sansha, and Rudolph, sat watching them all

“Jolly fun!” whispered he and “God Bless them all!”



“Did somebody hear that?”Stevie said from inside,

“Oh man, it’s a Sansha! Should everyone hide?!”

“Heck no, let go at him,” said Wrangler. “What funs!

Pann get my grenade, Quell bring me my guns!”



And out the team went and gunned down the perps.

“Dressed like Rudolph and Santa?” Fallout said. “What jerks.”

“Yeah, showed them!” said Pann and thus it was seen,

Merry Xmas, don’t mess with the Community team.
