EVE General Discussion

In this game no I am not, those things I excel at I presume there are others who do it better. In Real Life well that is none of your business but I do not need a game to give me life affirmation

I think you wanted to do a compare on the while statement... as in "==" instead of "=". But it will do the same as it is. :) me likes.

I would like to expand upon this:

int bPlayingEVE = 1;
int SkillPoints = 900;

do {
SkillPoints = EVEapi.get.SkillPoints();
System.Console.WriteLine("I am ". SkillPoints." Times Superior!");
} while (bPlayingEVE = 1)

Horrible, scary and frightening.
I will now remove myself from these forums indefinitely.

Hints:
Do we check the stop lights after we cross the street?
Do we flip a coin with a die?
Do we call dice coins?
Do we give the answers to our questions?
Do we need dice or coins when we already know the result?

To name a few.

To play EVE you need brains. You also need brains to understand what skills you need. Unfortunately, most people doesn't have enough brains and think EVE requiers no skills.

I'm bored, so I'll stir up the hornets nest alittle by saying:

You don't need skill, or much brains to group gank others at gates, true... but try working the market successfully without either.

Given, I'm well aware that combat PvP CAN be deep, and that there are FCs that would put real military admirals to shame with their tactical skills... point is, you don't NEED that level of skill to be successful in combat... to make a living off it, so to speak.

To make bigtime money working the market on the other hand...

I AM OMEGA.

"Skill" in eve is deceptive really. How much skill involved comes down to how you choose to play. An alliance grunt who is given a standard fit and has nothing more to do than orbit an anchor and F1 the called primary certainly isn't straining themselves. On the other hand there are the fcs who are doing micro/macro to a greater degree than most gamers. There are logistics pilots deploying judgement skills you wont see in many games. In small gang pvp especially with nanos etc manual flying and spatial awareness mean skill is infact important. Then you need to consider all those multi-boxers who are really doing pretty impressive micro management.

Then of course you need to consider less obvious skills. The organisational skills behind alliance logistics or trade empires for example. Or the social skills most eve players have that other gamers don't need to develop at all (especially the spies/corp thieves etc).

Nah, it's the opposite, mate - because we're superior, that's why we play EvE.

As most of my EVE gameplay takes place on my boat, moored on a large lake straddling the North Central United States and Southern Canada, the largest body of fresh water in the world, some 350 miles long, 31,820 square miles, and with a depth of up to 1290 feet , I would say I am a Superior gamer.
