I'm still mad, Jayne. I'm still mad!

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Cunts isn't a filtered word, but **** is?

Icelandic profanity filters ftw.

Sometimes you hit the bar and sometimes the bar hits you...

I liked what BB was up until 2013. Past that it was pretty much just loyalty to a few key people and boredom that kept me there.

I'm not creating yet another NPSI channel for various reasons, but mainly the following two:
1. It's way too much effort for 1 or 2 people on their own. A few years ago? Hell yeah. Today? Waste of time.
2. I don't even play EVE anymore. I haven't actively played the game for a good few years and used it mostly as a glorified chat client with spaceships.

Why are you doing an AMA here an not on Reddit? I thought that was where all the cool kids hang out.

I despise Reddit and would never create an account on there.




Your jib sir. I like the cut of it.

Have a cookie.

Also.......

Long ago I used to hang out in The Bar. It was a fun place where the cool kids hung out in stealth bombers (back when bombs were actually dangerous...) and we all roamed in packs like feral hyena's looking for Goon..um....nullsec mining ops to play with.

So I poked my nose back into the Bar as it is now....and folks, just stay away. Go make your own Bar. Find like minded killers and have fun.

'Cause I sure didn't see any fun in the Bar now, and that actually saddens me.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Your 'pocket change' would see me through a rather lengthy campaign of Code-enforcement. Pocket change indeed sir. I must be poor, or something.

This kind of thing requires too much metagame marketing effort to do, while we just want to play the game.

BB is the only reason I'm still playing Eve today, and I'm really sad to see it go. Thanks Tempelman N and all the other old FCs which made the Bombers Bar a great place to be. RIP

In all seriousness, I'd like to thank you and Olmecca for your contributions to Bombers Bar. I've flown in quite a few Bombers Bar fleets in the short time I've been playing EVE, and your contributions have positively contribute to my enjoyment of the game. While I disapprove of your actions, (and quite possibly the actions of the other side too) I do truly appreciate all the hard work you both have put into Bombers Bar.

Thanks!

Can I haz free stuff?

That aside, I'm curious to know where most of that isk came from to begin with? Did it come from donations or from the leadership's pockets?

Also what percentage of the Bar's leadership was 'problematic' from your perspective? My point being, couldn't you and other likeminded people remove the problematic ones and keep running the show? I've only flown with the Bar like twice, but both times it great fun and I think the whole idea behind it was amazing. It's a pity to see it ruined by petty drama.

I really appreciate your post. I hope our paths cross again.

When I began this game I tried hard to stay out of political stuff or power play, which I quickly realized was why most relevant people were playing this game. Instead I tried to focus developing my in-game skillset, and hunted alone a lot. That's probably why, when I finally decided playing alone was not enough, I became an NPSI person. No politics, just explosions, if you buy it.

Unfortunately finding yourself in a position of leadership somewhere makes such escape impossible. You start caring about this entity and making it big, more than caring about your own name/experience. But since it's also a collectively owned thing, in a space where other hostile entities exist, political problems arise either from within or externally.

I really wish we weren't in this situation, but here we are. I'll just try to make the best of it.
