EVE General Discussion

Who is jester and why should anyone care?

Who are you and why should anyone bother answering you?

Agreed

I want his stuff

Yet you haven't given any explanation as to why he is not just random guy nor have you explained how him no logging blogging effects anything that happens in game or the community.

Don't you look at Malc's ****. He need his ****.

You're not allowed to post on Failheap if you're not full of ****. Don't take that away from him.

I'm disappointed in you, I believed you might be one of those players that might have taken a greater interest in the game than just who was being braodcast as primary. Assuming you are not just trolling, of course.

Ripard Teg, the playing character behind Jester's Trek, was elected onto CSM 8 on a popular ticket that didn't require block votes. Indeed, his popularity was so high that he achieved the position of Vice Chair. Through Jester's Trek, Ripard kept everyone up to date with the goings on of the CSM on a weekly basis - something that has never been done before (afaik) and set a very high bar for CSM9 members to emulate.

Through Jester's Trek, Ripard intelligently, diligently & thoroughly covered most aspects of life in EVE Online - he covered lots of the meta goings on, Quotes of the Week, Fit of the Week and produce many new player friendly guides. Jester's Trek wasn't just a blog, it was a magazine and reference document all rolled into one. The man was a blogging machine - he had the ability to post quailty content almost on a daily basis. There was even the occaisional sightings of his alter ego, Garth, who liked to comment on some of the more controversial aspects of the game and wasn't afraid to pull any punches. There was always something for everyone and this is why it will be missed.

Wow, if that's all you got out of his blog you either need to train up reading comprehension a lot higher. Or you are one of the many who probably ever actually read it and just regurgitate whatever someone else said.

o7 Jester

Although I like that Erotica is no longer part of the eve community, Jester will always be remembered for being a whiney carebear to me, and is the antithesis of the spirit of eve. The reason people like eve is that the community are treated like adults, not kids that need to be given a cookie when they make a mistake and start to cry. I didn't listen to the audio clip, as I don't want to waste my time listening to the garbage which Erotica spews. Everyone else should have just done the same.

A lot of what he posted was complete rubbish. Many times he posted about events which was so far removed from the truth it was fantasy.

As for the rest, none of it effects anything that happens in game. Nothing in Eve as we know will change. Nobodies play style will change due him no longer blogging. No Alliances will fall, nobody will leave, subs will not dramatically fall, the world will not end.

Everything will go as normal.

Far more influential players have completely left the game and you know what changed.. nothing. Eve went on as normal. So please spare me the dramatics that some guy who has stopped his blog is a terrible event and we will all be worse off.

There are many who have contributed and whose actions have more effect on Eve then Ripard could ever dream of doing.

As for his term on the CSM, he even admits that his Blog was created in order to get him elected. Now he has been there and done that his blog no longer serves any purpose.

He is no longer relevant. (If he ever was to begin with)
