CCP Snubs Rixx Javix, Botches Playing Card Set, Extends Christmas Olive Branch

Taking a cue from Manic Velocity’s now-defunct FLEETR (don’t go to http://fleetr.space, you’ll be disappointed), CCP decides Rixx Javix’s 2014 collectable trading cards series is still “NOT HOT,” rolling out their own deck of playing cards adorned with the Space Famous for EVE Vegas 2018. Responses to the roster were…bewildered, and largely paraphrased as “Hey that’s me!…uhhh!?!” and simply “uhhh?!”

Manic Velocity, of…Savage Moon Society? Who doesn’t love Lulu Lunette, but…Manic is hardly known for the five months he spent in J-Space back in 2017.

Sindel Pellion, on the other hand, raised a glass to her card, and didn’t care much about what corporation she has, as long as she stays space famous. Most importantly, though, retaining her title: “Queen of Clubs.”

Mynxee, of Signal Cartel Fame, pointed out that she hasn’t been in Hellcats for a long, long time. She flew as a member of this women-only pirate corp from 2008 to 2010, stepped away, then stepped up to serve as Signal Cartel CEO when Johnny Splunk and G8keeper (of EvE-Scout) came looking for a leader for the new Corp. Signal Cartel opened for business 2015.01.31. And yet, oddly, Mynxee’s playing card has her in Hellcats.

Hellcats…now where have I seen something about Mynxee and Hellcats? Oh, yeah!

Well now…isn’t that interesting. Is it an olive branch? Is CCP ready to bury the hatchet with Rixx Javix, after years of snubs?

It appears so…

Well now…look at that Astero, isn’t that sweet? Wait…I’ve seen that ship before. On my desktop. Isn’t that the Christmas Astero Rixx did a few  years ago?

Why yes, it is, and with attribution!

And what does Rixx have to say about the whole thing?

Pretty sweet for a salty old pirate, and a nice gesture by CCP.

What’s the world coming to? Will there be peace in New Eden?

I sure hope not!
