What does trying to make sure other people are easier prey than I come under?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

We are not 'citizens' thats a different game.

I reject yoru definition of good and bad, as there is no good or bad, just humans being human. Good and bad is a matter of perception


We aren't even human. We are clones.

I judge the quality of a citizen of eve by the mark the leave on eve. If someone was to miss you if you stop logging on then you are a good eve citizen.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

When I stopped logging in, I was missed by a handful of my fellow sociopath scumbags.
I feel warm and fuzzy now knowing that I'm a good citizen. Big smile

All is far in love in war. I believe someone who interacts with other players in a meaningful way (even it is high sec ganking or trade hub scamming) is a better eve citizen then someone who just sticks to high sec ratting by him self and never goes and talks or other wise interacts with people other then buy new ships and modules with his isk and selling loot.

A 'good citizen' is someone who would sell me those fancy duds you're wearing, Max.Blink

Don't have to do anything special to ensure others are easier prey... I used to worry about making my fits perfect until I started seeing fits on killmails that made me cringe with embarrassment on their part.

Hmm.

We've reimbursed and helped out new players we killed in lowsec before when they didnt outright cry and just calmly asked us.. "ok what did I do wrong that let me get killed?" or where just cool about it in general. We've made a few friends that started with a fight.. and sometimes just a brutal one sided attack.

We've also blown up really new people that where running a lowsec mission and didn't fully grasp the danger of what the where doing. After we realized this and figured out that there loss was bad enough that we basically hit the reset button on there game, we've thrown them a Mil and told them not to go into lowsec anymore unless they want PVP.

We also dont generally screw with people in highsec without a wardec. Although sometimes someone will rub us the wrong way and we will agitate the hell out of them. Generally just make a point not to be dicks for no reason. Well unless the cops are not watching.

Being a "good citizen" of this game to me would be realizing that we all play the same game and that without everyone else we could not play it. While helping those that deserve it and making those that dont learn to.

A 'good citizen' in Eve, all of us who pay to keep CCP in business so that they can provide us with the sand box we play in.

This is not a signature.

Good and Evil. Right and Wrong.

Those are tough questions to answer. I prefer Us and Them. That lets you shift all the cluitter out of the way and get down to business.

Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you. Also, iderno

We're not citizens in EVE.
We're superhuman demigods, so good/bad not applicable for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNyfI4dv1dg&list=PLF614A7A6461E61E1&index=40

You're a good citizen of EVE if you drink the koolaid.

Which mostly leads to sections of the playerbase behaving in hilarious, yet at the same time sad ways.

I wear these one of a kind in-game garments as the White Papal Robes in Eve to be humbled and remind me daily of the community that took this 55 year old man, gave him undeserving titles for LOLs, and gave me the best on-line and Fanfest experience one could ever wish for. I am indeed living the life of the Eve "Butterfly Effect" video because of the most of you.

Subscribing to Eve: $14.95 a month
Going to Fanfest 2015: About $2000ish bucks
Winning the Cosplay Event: (20 plex, Ticket to FF2016, Razor Keyboard/Headset, one of a kind in-game swag)
Watching an entire alliance change their name and declair their devotion to my RP movement...

PRICELESS


So sorry Zealous Miner, I must hold on to this treasure that was bequeathed to me, for I dare not lose all I have gained to greed. Somethings, money cannot buy.
