I work for a Hospital, so I can't call in sick and play eve or systems die and people die. Play about 5 hours a week currently, peak at about 12-15 when I feel more inclined to play. If it's BC rating you are after it's all about solo and willing to fight outnumbered, it's not about time or number of kills. People that just blob about like girly men will never achieve a high rating.

BTW chatris is a boost ***** with HG snakes, don't fight him. This statement has nothing to do with the fact he just passed me on BC. He also has 3 alts that are stabbed he uses to lure unsuspecting noobs into traps. he is a bad bad bad person.

He needs a notification system to tell him when his wife isn't looking so he can log in and get some kills.

You cant.

So i advice you: if you like eve gameplay - play, if it dont make you happy - save your nerves and get out from our nerd partyBig smile.

There's tons of PvPers who fight outnumbered all the time and do just great. I'm still kind of mediocre at it, so I don't have much to show but a few multi-kills. But if you look up some of the best PvP vidoes, like old Kil2 before the *acquisition* or Garmon or **** like that, you can see guys going out and taking 1v2s, 1v3s, and all sorts of other ****. There's a vid on EveIsEasy that shows like 4 guys engaging a 16 man gatecamps and getting a handful of kills and escaping with no casualties. It's not easy, but it is doable, and many of the best PvPers got there by learning to fight the blob.

I will never be N1 in kill mails.

I'm not making fun of the no job part Iv'e been there but I have a job now.

By not letting it bother you?

You have to manage your time. If you only spend an hour playing but kill 50 ships and someone else spends 10 hours playing and kills 60 ships, who is the better player?

Don't try to get #1, try to maximise the fun you have in the time you want to spend on eve. If that makes you #1 on some kind of list, good for you, but if it doesnt: meh who cares?

If you check too soon, the timer resets.

It's not about the quantity of your killmails, it's about the quality and meaningfullness of a particular kill. In the end everyone loses because it's just a video game and ultimately the servers will go down. Ask yourself if your K/D matters by then. All you weill remember are the glorious victories and hilarious fails. Both have more merit then stupid K/D stats.

I have a wife, and a job (that I often work overtime on, I just came out of a few months of not playing even because of work) and I'm ranked #28 on BC.

In the last two years I've been out of game for at least 6 months, and the rest of the time I've been working and married. In that time I've moved up from ~ 300-400 in rank to under 30 (and the higher ranks take a LOT more time to advance on).


1 Who uses battleclinic
2 With all that time working and playing Eve when is sexy time with the wife?

I didn't even play eve last night. That's kind of the point of my post - I am doing this without massive commitments to the game, while looking after my wife and job.

I mean, even when active, it's not hard to take 30-60 minutes out before sleeping. Kind of a troll question?

Then again, maybe you are a rockstar who needs 6 hours for sexy time, and I salute your vigor :P
