If there's one thing that shines through all the entries - all 56 of them - it's the passion that these bloggers have for this vast and harsh landscape on the InterTubes we call New Eden. As I sat through the cold February night, reading and rereading all these articles, I couldn't but help myself but feel pride at the accomplishments, achievements and opportunities of all we've been able to accomplish within and through EVE Online.
And so, it was with the utmost care and consideration that I started picking, choosing, weighing in all these testimonials to our communal passion for the virtual world we spend so much time living in, dreaming of, plan for and talking about. The result of this process is listed below. But before you drop your eyes a few lines to look at the listing, please remember that 46 other bloggers took the time to write and submit their entries, and they all deserve the recognition. SO please consider dropping by some of these and letting them know through a comment.
So wither further ado, here are your 10 winners!
- 1st Prize - $100 in EVE Store merchandise: Wench with a Wrench
- 2nd Prize - $50 in EVE Store merchandise: Don't Fear the Mutant
- 3rd Prize- $25 in EVE Store merchandise: Into the unknown with gun and camera
- 4th Prize - $25 in EVE Store merchandise: Sered's Lives
And the following bloggers each win a 14 Day EVE Time Code: - FlashFresh
- EVEOGANDA
- Vive Virtual
- Why do I love EVE Online
- An Extremely Complicated Survival Machine
- Ecliptic Rift
Congratulations again to all of you!

Just published the follow up post, and my email is always available in the right sidebar.
I've read about 90% of the entries myself (snowed in this weekend) and they all deserve much praise. I'm very new to the Eve blogger community and humbled that my entry was worthy of any consideration. Thanks!
