EVE General Discussion

If your account is inactive, you can reactivate with a feature called "hours for plex" for four hours, the intent being that this allows you to go buy a PLEX and apply it to your account. It's a handy feature that makes it easy for returning veterans to resub via PLEX.

Our subject was letting his account lapse every month to get 3 "free" days of training, and then using HFP to reup. Someone noticed, and took away his HFP rights, and now he's mad because apparently he has a god-given right to ghost train.

exactly.

Me neither. It sounds interesting enough to try.

Not empty quoting.

I like you Andski, not because you post well, rather because you so accurately represent Something Awful Forums and all Goons.

One of best guys I ever meet in EVE ,and guy who knew a lot and was not afraid of anyone.

Abusing system ?Well if you have 3 days of ghost training and many people know that ,than what is to abuse there.They never said you cant do what he did ,so I really don't see what is wrong then.You cant blame people using feature that is there ,so CCP should fix the problem then accuse player for abusing.

Anyway ,from my part he will be missed.Also knowing him how long he tried to quit EVE this is maybe best way to do it.

I can only say tnx Vilnius for all help that you gave to new players in EVE .

You don´t quit Eve, Eve quits you when Eve bloody well decide to do so.
It is just a matter of time before Eve will hunt down this guy once again.

awww that was mean. You'll make the Goonie cry.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 lb white turnips (about 4 medium turnips)
1 medium Russet (or other starchy) potato
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
½ cup dry white wine
1 qt vegetable broth or stock
Kosher salt, to taste
Ground white pepper, to taste
Preparation:

Cut turnips into (roughly) same-sized pieces, about ½ inch to 1 inch thick, depending on diameter. Don't worry about precision — the soup is going to be puréed anyway. We just want the pieces to be of uniform size so that they cook evenly.

Peel the potato and cut it into pieces about the same size as the turnips.

In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, heat the butter over a low-to-medium heat.

Add the onion, garlic and turnips and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is slightly translucent, stirring more or less continuously.

Add the wine and cook for another minute or two or until the wine seems to have reduced by about half.

Add the stock and the potato. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the turnips and potatoes are soft enough that they can easily be pierced with a knife. Don't let them get mushy, though.

Remove from heat and purée in a blender, working in batches if necessary.

Tip: Use care when processing hot items in a blender as the hot steam can sometimes blow the blender lid off. Start on a slow speed with the lid slightly ajar to vent any steam, then seal the lid and increase the blending speed.

Return puréed soup to pot and bring to a simmer again, adding more broth or stock to adjust the thickness if necessary.

Season to taste with Kosher salt and white pepper.

Garnish with a toasted crouton and serve right away.
Makes about 1½ quarts (6 8-oz. servings) of soup.

Optional:
Stir ¼ cup hot cream into the soup just before serving.
Note: The soup can be thickened with rice instead of potato. Just substitute about 1/3 cup of uncooked rice for the potato, and simmer the soup until the rice is soft.

Delicious.

So that's what he was doing, the outcome is not surprising then.


They did away with ghost training in the past as people used to unsubscribe whilst training long skills then re-subscribe once the skill had completed.

Edit: For those that don't know when you unsubscribed (some years back now) your current skill kept training until it completed, but CCP shortened it to stop ghost training as people would train for a month or two without subscribing to the game.
