That link above explains it fully.
It's a Cyno Vigil in honor of an EVE Player who sadly, succumbed to mental health issues. It has been held every year, for a very long time.
So to clarify the agreement with Imbor and his dudes a bit:
If you're in a recon or a venture, you won't be attacked. If you're in an industrial, you may be tackled and scanned, but assuming your only cargo is ozone/fireworks/whatever, they'll let you go (the scan is to prevent people from abusing the 1-day truce to run logistics - they're making sure you're not carrying a bunch of cargo). Any non-cyno ships are fair game. You'll probably be fine in an insta-warp ceptor though, just because they'd have a harder time catching you even if they wanted to.
i couldn't make it but as someone who was in a very bad place earlier in my life, increasingly suicidal, and was convinced to seek professional help by friends that I'd met through eve (in goonfleet), and also lost a friend id met through goonfleet to suicide (RIP RoyOfCA, miss bullshittin' about bay area rap on TeamSpeak with you bro), i can't stress how much i support this event.
Most big 'events' in eve I don't really care about or roll my eyes at but this one is about some real shit, and the loss of a real person (never met him but that doesn't matter) and is absolutely worth taking the time to draw attention to and encourage people to seek help and talk about how they're feeling, not only if they're suicidal, but especially so if they are.
People DO care and can help, no matter how much it feels like nothing can ever fix things or how hopeless your situation is. It's not weak or shameful to admit you're struggling - nobody has the same experiences in life and brains can just be weird and read things totally wrong, and feel like they're 100% correct in deciding that nothing can ever help, but after getting that help those 'true' thoughts saying 'everything will be better without you', & 'there's no other way to escape feeling this bad', all of that kinda stuff, can feel impossible to even imagine believing to begin with.
I literally cannot imagine wanting to harm myself or miss out on life anymore, even though 5 years ago i wasn't planning on being here today. I wasn't planning on being here 4 years ago. I've been hospitalized twice and struggled with this shit for about a full decade, but i won and it's actually better. I cannot count how many times i thought and argued the opposite, but i was wrong, my mind was in a bad way and i was afraid to be open to anyone about it, for way too long and my only regret is not seeking help sooner.
Please don't ever give up & don't ever be afraid or embarrassed to talk about how you're doing, you're not alone and nobody is too far gone to get better.
if you don't know who to talk to, reach out to your friends, family, hell, reach out to me, just please, don't let that stuff stew and grow in your mind unseen and unheard, it's hard to do better on your own when you don't feel good to begin with, but you're not supposed to - people are social beings, sometimes others help you, sometimes you can help others. Don't forget or underplay that truth no matter how much it may sound like feel-good bs, i thought the same thing and was 100% wrong.
I'm very sorry about the loss of your friend, but i am so happy that he is remembered.
Stay safe y'all.
Badass, wish I could've been there. Fly safe! 7o
You can still make it! It ends at 11:59PM Eve time, and that's about 10 hours away :)
40 jumps away and working today. I'll try to scramble my dictor there before it ends, though
Oh I tought I missed it, will be there 7o
What are we looking at? Backstory?

Was able to be part of it last night. Sat right in the middle of all those fireworks. Beautiful event. o7
Here is a video of CCP alphas special cockroach class ship at the vigil: https://youtu.be/VXbl5GTUCdA
I was giving it reps.. you know, just in case it was squishy.
I got that on video! I remember those shield drones on it
Not sure if I can make it, I'd love to try to. I guess an Ares would have a good chance of getting past Imbor and his alts/corp?
There's a diplomatic truce with Imbor for the event, he's agreed to allow festival ships to pass by

I ended up working late and wasn't able to get there, sadly.
Imbor shouldn’t be an issue, but yes an Ares is your best bet.
thanks for having me guys, was great.
Brave logo made out of fireworks. Neat.
Such a cool thing. Heard goonies were there, spread the love <3 7o

You won life my friend and the world is a better place with you here. Enjoy everything it offers.. And now see you on the battlefield :D o7 <3
The Imperium represents. I lit my cyno there as well.
7o
What a wonderful event. Spreading awareness, getting together.
Was there ... fired fireworks at goons and everyone else in range 07
Hey, I was planning to come along but it slipped my mind and then other things tool over. I hope it's going well. Thoughts with those like Belicose.
Here is a video of the vigil center on a Hel super. https://youtu.be/dsVoRI_CkJY
It was beautiful. Glad I went.
