I want to start by saying congratulations to NFP for winning the Prime League EU tournament. Your skill and capabilities are a notch above the rest, I do not look forward to seeing you on the battlefield.

Now on to the real matter at hand.

NFP have posted a poll asking what they should name a planet; the naming of a planet being one of their prizes. I am here today to encourage you all to vote for Pluto as the name of the planet. Why? Why should you vote for Pluto as the name of the planet?

We know from old historical files that there used to be a planet in humanities home system called Pluto. It was stripped of it's status as a planet because humanity thought it was too small to be called a planet, that it didn't deserve to be a planet. This injustice has gone on for far too long. It is time that Pluto not just got it's status back, but found it's way here, to New Eden. I come before you today to ask that you help make this a reality. Give Pluto the respect it deserves. Let it stand as a reminder of the past for all of humanity throughout New Eden. Let it show that the past is not forgotten and that anything lost can be brought back.

Most importantly by naming the planet Pluto we show that size does not matter. We, mercenaries of the ground, occupy a spot in the stars along with capsuleers. Let us show them that size does not matter when it comes to our fighting spirit, our capabilities, and to our desire to work together.

These are the reasons I come before you today to ask that you follow me in voting that the planet be named Pluto.

Thank you all for your support and for making the right choice. I look forward to seeing Pluto amongst the stars as a planet, the title it deserves.

CCP FoxFour, leader of the restore Pluto campaign

If you wish to help this noble and historic campaign spread work everywhere you can. Your corporations internal forums, twitter, IRC, everywhere you can. Let's gather our friends and do the right thing!

If PC ever expands far enough to include the Socks IV planet, the devs should make it so that all districts on the planet have a flag with four socks on it.

Why not name the planet " support ticket FTW " ?

Love you all

This is some pretty obvious (and no doubt effective) reverse psychology to entice you to vote for Socks IV and hence immortalise a dev in a unique fashion into Eve history.

Clever boy.

He just doesn't want it to be named Socks IV

this is historical! first time I saw a pic on the forums and not the link!

I don't want that either. Names like Socks IV and SoonTM would just be an insider only a part of the Dust Community would understand. But Pluto: Everybody would understand the joke.

Omg what did I start!

But if we name it Socks IV you'll be immortalized in the heavens as a true god for eternity.... well unless like Pluto, astronomers decide Socks IV doesn't meet the requirements to be a planet.

There's no joke with Pluto. It's not even mildly amusing, it's just disappointing.

"They could name their own planet and they did what?"

Not if alcohol and/or drugs are involved and with this community that's a certainty.

And it's easy to fit this into lore. A crew of a ship got drunk & stoned and crash landed on a planet. In their inebriated state they were so distraught that they named the planet Socks IV in memory of all the socks lost in the fiery crash.

dev hax :P
