I guess this is one of these occasions where playing an elaborate spreadsheet simulator pays off. There must be quite a few actual accountants and such playing EVE, ready to be suckered by their alliance into turning this game into a second job. Lol

Operation WRITE DOWN ALL THE THINGS!!!  Check out the list at http://bit.ly/wdatt Collecting and compiling all fixes and ideas for EVE. Looking for more editors!

More like putting their expensive college education to use in a video game. I imagine it is especially fun when you're dealing with positive numbers and it's all about how to properly distribute money so you and your friends can be paid to forcibly remove other players from their ships and pods.

I don't think so.
At least not if I'm processing it. :frank:



Shame, so were not stealing shitcats from TEST then?

LOL - I absolutely love the rampant, completely unrefined, egomaniacal narcissism of this comment.

Just how DO you guys come up with this stuff?!?! Pure gold!!

As i've never lived in null, i'm gonna ask my question here: what do those big alliances do with the trillions they make each month from moons?

I've heard about reimbursement programs, but otherwise, i've never heard of regular members getting any of that isk. I always assumed CEOs&friends got their "fair share", but that wouldn't explain why regular members would show up to defend/conquer those moons for their leadership.
please enlighten me


Space communism. Seriously though, the amount of infrastructure in the CFC is mind-boggling. From the fully developed market, to the jump bridge networks, to the safe POS's everywhere right when I need them, to the reimbursements brings a tear to the eye. It's like having everything they got in high-sec, except it's in null, with fully upgraded systems loaded with anomalies and other delights without all the ********.

It truly is an empire.

btw, since you guys are all from the SA forums, it basically means that you've all paid 10$ to join a forum, and it never occured to the 9k of you (or the rest of the SA) that there are other non-scam based forums? or to actually act in the spirit of goons, and make another forum, charge 10$ for admission? you know, like you're being scammed right now (and liking it)

So paying for a service and getting it is being scammed? Can we arrange for someone to educate this man?

lol, ^ SA operator identified
I think the "original" goons (or OG) may have pulled a nice scam there, by being interesting, and instead of being overwhelmed by sheep/flies, they made the flies/sheep do the work (and like it)
congrats

Have you ever paid admission to see a movie? Do you have Netflix? HBO? Cinemax? DISH Network? DirectTV? Ever paid a toll on a road? SA is a comedy site, we paid once to support the infrastructure. We didn't join SA to get in a space guild in Eve Online. :tenbux: is a paltry sum for the hundreds of hours of entertainment I get from Something Awful. For the rest of my life.

the best part, they think it's their idea!
in any case, i guess if you're enjoying it, and it's worth 10$ to you, there's no harm done ( and i mean that)

the tenbux requirement is what separates SA from reddit, 4chan, fark and other garbage sites

Not really, the post you made right there would have gotten you probationed.

Something Awful dot com has a tradition where every new member of the forums posts an introductory thread in GBS and cross-posts it to FYAD

so, basically, you can get banned for **** posting, and the 10$ are hostage... ok, makes sense?

anyways, it seems scamming is in the eye of the beholder, so enjoy paying some dude's car payments

It encourages better posting than what's going on here.
