CCP is not involved in this in any way. The idea, the execution, the targets, everything is players only.
Also if you really think this sounds like pro-wrestling in space you really need to read the article again. Hulk in Hulkageddon does not come from The Amazing Hulk but from the name of an type of industrial ships in the game which is the main target for the event.
It is actually actually CCP endorsed event as it uses their trademarks and the event runs in game and out at a level where CCP do control what's going on. Yes it may look amateurish compared to Blizzard where you would have everything done with corporate spit and polish for PvP event, but CCP are small company so amateur approach is the way they go on a lot of things...that all written it is Themepark, and it's advertised like pay per view professional combat sports tournies.
"CCP hf. has granted permission to Hulkageddon to use EVE Online and all associated logos and designs for promotional and information purposes on its website but does not endorse, and is not in any way affiliated with, Hulkageddon."
^--- That quote is from the Hulkageddon III site. Are you saying the people that run the site are lying and that there's supa sekrit stuff going on behind closed doors between CCP and the Hulkageddon guys? Please please PLEASE tell me that's what you're trying to imply.

That just means it isn't an official CCP website, it is though An event run with the blessing and help of CCP, probably because it offers a quick and easy means to game content.

What part of this sentence you do not understand?

Well, endlessly quoting the copyright notice for the images and logos on the website doesn't really progress our discussion. I am simply making the point that Hulkageddon is PvP theme park and the event is helped and endorsed by CCP. If it wasn't it simply wouldn't happen as an EvE event at all in present form.

Endlessly ignoring everything people tell and prove you is not indeed making any progress.
And no, you make no point with your made up, ridiculous, incorrect and back up lacking claims.
It's funny how many people believe that mining was responsible for most resources.
Besides, if the Hulkageddon hysteria raised mineral prices (it won't), then producers would actually make more money per production job.
Hulkageddon is a great opportunity to come together and blow stuff up. If it's Hulks with horrible fits or Orcas with even worse fits isn't really that important. I went through a couple dozen fits on the killboard and none of them were fit well. Fit your hulk and especially your Orca correctly and a suicide gank will become much harder..
If they want to go around shooting miners, that's ok by me. Just gives me free targets to shoot at, as I sit and baby set the miners. Nothing like having a global criminal to shoot at.
Endlessly ignoring everything people tell and prove you is not indeed making any progress.

I'm not ignoring you at all. Endlessly going on about the copyright merely proves my point that CCP gave permission and endorsed the Hulkageddon event. heck, the event gives away billion of ISK and ships as prizes, and sells merchandise to players. It's just PvP theme-park being given the thumbs up by CCP, who I bet will patch something into EvE to better address the need for this kinda content later.
From a miner to the Hulk smashers... can you target the macro miners? it's kinda bull that you're targeting the people that build the ships you're flying!! Grrr.
And did you really think you could take out an orca with a typhoon? really?
Ugh. What a miserable game EVE is. I tried it, it wasn't fun. End of story. It completely lacks content, AND it encourages ganking. Any game that actively encourages ganking is clearly catered to the lowest common denominator of gamers: the social misfits and aggressive basement dwellers. No thanks, EVE.
Too many kids kick your sand castle down in the sandbox? We all learned to create our own content when we were kids.
It is a shame on how many people can't use their own imagination any longer to entertain themselves with the tools they are given.
I'd have thought that the whole concept of Hulkageddon more an EvE themepark idea from the boys at CCP than sandbox since it isn't player generated content. Anyway, whatever reads like a space take on professional wrestling, and I guess that might make interesting and fun PvP too.
hulkageddon is player driven and ccp has nothing to do with it
The wanna be pirates are at it again :P, well you know, like real life the game, there are lots of people that actually enjoy shooting defenseless ships, as these same probably in real life enjoy bullying others if they can, victims hopefully should be defenseless that is.

If that's really the case why bother with all the permissions to use CCP art and trademarks or for that matter sell merchandise. I think it CCP endorsed PvP theme park event myself.

Well for one, if they didn't get CCP's permission to use the images they could get sued and two. Player run contests like this happen all the time in game without ccp's involvement besides giving the go ahead that they aren't against the rules. CCP has always been hands off on these things.
Also as a side note, none of the prizes offered are donated by CCP. All of them are donations by either organizers or other doners in game. The only out-of-game item is the hulkageddon t-shirt.
You tend to see that sort of level of legal permission, integration into an mmo, and merchandise only when an invited or orchestrated proposition. I just think it a theme park event to make the EvE PvP more fun myself for what it's worth.

Honestly, this is going on, because there isnt much to do in eve. You can mine rocks, blow up other ships, create things or do missions. Thats about it. Every area looks the same, for any item that exists, there are about 5 billion of that item for sale, mining rocks is about as exciting as digging a hole. Really the only thing to do in Eve that has any form of excitement is to kill each other. So even Hulkageddon is a gankfest that doesn't have much ethics, its really one of the few if any exciting things to do. It's going to happen and for each person who makes an arguement against it, its like blood for the sharks in the water, it just gets them more excited.

Just demonstrates the poor community. Gankfests are a joke, especially if CCP are actually supporting this.
A game to avoid.

I went through a couple dozen fits on the killboard and none of them were fit well. Fit your hulk and especially your Orca correctly and a suicide gank will become much harder..
I usually think ganking in games is lame. But if they announce it like this as an event, I think its different:)
I wonder if some large corps will use Hulks as bait during that event.
But if that is not accepted as fair play, then its just a lame gankfest.
If they want to go around shooting miners, that's ok by me. Just gives me free targets to shoot at, as I sit and baby set the miners. Nothing like having a global criminal to shoot at.

If you point him out to Boson, he will claim it is CCP employee or something as stupid...

So, anybody have an anti-gank Hulk fit? I'l love to drop a nice steamy turd in a ganker puke's oatmeal. Heading over to SHC to check now.
i play eve . this is a good time not to play and work on other games.
