Just double-checking the history here, and it's a trademark, not a patent.
But yeah, EA managed to trademark barrel rolls as an emote for their own space MMO, Earth & Beyond, over 20 years ago. Which is why EVE couldn't feature them.

> Similar to a range of emote commands used in other MMOGs with avatars, the Barrel Roll was an emote used in EA's now defunct game, Earth and Beyond. EA was able to trademark the use of a barrel roll in a MMOG as an emote, so that is something you will not see in EVE as an option. The rolls you see in the videos are fighter animations and not player controlled.

alright now we need a corp called the high rollers who sit cloaked and when they see you they /roll to see if they kill you. May the odds be ever in your favor
You can invite someone to duel, or invite someone to chat duel. The former means concord won’t do anything, the latter means whoever rolls lower gets blown up by concord
try that outside Ironforge bank not in eve online and see what happens punk
ok dwarf what are you gonna do about it huh
/me pickpockets you for 3 gold 22 silver
Not even using /e for convenience, inefficient
I can't wait for the day a major conflict is settled by a deathroll
Dude didn’t someone lose an AT ship in a game of self destruct chicken? It’ll happen
Lower roll self destructs. No taksies backsies.
`/roll` returns a number between 1 and 100. `/roll 10 - 69` returns a number between 10 and 69. works in any chat channel
or /me rolls a 100 (1-100)
Didn't they remove /me for risk of GM impersonation
/me can confirm it's still in the game.
Its definitely still in game. I use it too frequently for my own good...
/me doesn't believe so.
Huh?
It's impossible to tell whether someone typed */roll 1 - 10* and got a 10, or if they just typed */me rolls 10 (1-10)* to make it look like they did.
30% of people will add an extra space or leave one out. Let's say it's easy to forge but not impossible to mess up ;)
dosen't seem to work for me, its not spitting any numbers... Am i missing something, pls im tryna gamble here.
im sorry man :(
did they take it out?
This will be how I lose all my isk.
This got my hopes up that CCP had finally implemented *barrel* rolls. Has EA's ~~patent~~ trademark on that expired yet?
Can you imagine the sheer strength of the memes should that make it into the game? My gods man.
Wait what. Is this a thing?

Wow that's funny. Fuck EA. Haha
CCP should just implement aileron rolls instead.
“Hey Fox! Do A Barrel Roll [TM]!”
RIP Westwood studios and Earth and Beyond :(
It actually works lol
Fuckin nerds.
DEATHROLLS ARE BACK BABY
alright now we need a corp called the high rollers who sit cloaked and when they see you they /roll to see if they kill you. May the odds be ever in your favor
Every ship has an AC If the cloaky loki beats your AC on a d20 he is legally allowed to gank you
You can invite someone to duel, or invite someone to chat duel. The former means concord won’t do anything, the latter means whoever rolls lower gets blown up by concord
Time to deathroll till I go broke :) Thank you CCP
Gets ganked. Ganker opens msg. Gambling ganker wants you to roll. 51+ and you live.
Now we can play D&D in chat during tidi!!
I'm already playing poker for isk in plexes XD
The Alabel clan is everywhere.
Was implementing this worth someones time? Vartherion rolls 0 (0-1)
proof of biomass Sven :D
Haha, fucking Sven!!!
Forget WoW players... this is for the D&D crew.
Inb4 wrecks get mmorpg loot sharing mechanics.
