After 8 years of playing EVE Online I understand one thing: EVE is boring (for me, not for you). I remember the old days when I start playing first time. That's nostalgic feelings. It gives me idea of this challenge. You can join if you want :)

Challenge rules:
* New Character with starting 5000 ISK
* You can only trade at market. No other activities allowed
* All player ISK donations (if any) must be returned immediately

My results at this moment:
Day 1: 5000 ISK - 10 millions ISK
Day 2: 10 millions ISK - 35 millions ISK
Day 3: 35 millions ISK - 50 millions ISK
Day 4: 50 millions ISK - 70 millions ISK
Day 5: 70 millions ISK - 115 millions ISK
Day 6: 115 millions ISK - 300 millions ISK

Also I decided to make a stream as a proof for a next generation of eve players. You can see it at twitch.tv/jita_chan.

UPD: I didn't expect that this thread gained so much attention. If you missed today's stream you can watch it at my twitch profile. Also, I start to export my previous streams to my youtube channel. I created it just today, sorry for a mess.

Nice curves, well done!

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

It has been done many times before. Including by me.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

I knew that my decision to make that challenge wasn't unique. And now I have a path to follow by. Some kind of milestones :)

It's not really a challenge at all if no time limit whatsoever is specified. I might as well say


Quote:
Hey guys, look at me! I can go from broke to billionaire*, just like that!



And then you'll all say


Quote:
Wow, how do you do that? What's the magic trick?



And I'll be all like


Quote:
I collect one penny a year over, like, a billion years



And you'll all be like


Quote:
What a waste of electrons






*'From Broke to Billionaire' is a wicked name and I have trademarked it for use in a cruel yet uplifting gameshow

You would have collected 10 million US Dollars or Pound Sterling, depending on the type of Penny you were referring to..Blink

But you are right in that it would only be a challenge if done within a certain time frame.
Either that, or as I have done, reverse the question: 'How long will it take me given starting condition X to accumulate 1 Billion Isk by station trading?'

Indeed! I wasn't really concentrating on the precise numbers, but I hope my meaning was clear Big smile


e: added an additional 'like' to my original post to introduce ambiguity Blink
