In complaining about it can we not help to change this curr[e]nt paradigm?
If the paradigm were formed with logic, by those seeking integrity in thought processes, then yes it would then seem reason could affect the outcome, and possibly change a few minds. The big HOWEVER to that is, this paradigm is based on accounting - spreadsheets with numbers which serve for reason.

You're in a culture that has for so long allowed the profit motive be the trump card in all decisions, with socialism/capitalism/communism (not counting the royal treasury) the only recognized possibilities in modern constructs, it has given up the idea of rational thought being a deciding factor in anything but getting one's way over someone else - or for loose justifications for things that are obviously wrong.

No...as J.J. Cale says, Money Talks...you better believe it.

While I do agree with you in principle, I don't think it directly relates to the topic in question fully.

I would like to debate your views further but perhaps not in this thread. Please feel free to mail me in-game with your contact details. I have a lot to debate with regards to this point and would love to get your opinion.

I worry if I continue down this path with you now then I, perhaps we, may get tared with the brush of conspiracy nuts and be accused of saying Eve is dieing because of the system! I am not saying what you say is not true but it is wide open for a healthy debate.

I have one month left in the game as things stand. Please do send me a mail if you are open to debate to this and other things perhaps.

P.S I thank you for the introduction to J.J Cale listening to his music as I type this. I'm an English man of almost 40 this may explain why I have not herd him before. The song Cocaine was that his or a cover of Eric Clapton?

Never mind I looked it up myself Cocaine is a song written and recorded in 1976 by J.J Cale. The year of my birth :)

Since 03 i have lived and breathed Eve, no other game came near to it and I never thought it would.
Sadly as things stand and with skill extractors i don't even need to keep subbed do I.

When and if Eve calls me back all i need do is re-sub and bye those skills for my char.
As things stand at the moment this bitter vet shall be deleting his subscriptions.

I am sad at this because I do love Eve and it's community, I would rather be supporting CCP to keep this game alive.


award winning look-at-me-i'm-important drama right there, lol.

anyway, have a nice day, OP. o7

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
