Why does the OP and I look almost alike?

Anyways, since I work for a procurement company that buys parts used for missiles made in Brazil, Eve Online has actually taught me to be better at procurement since my main is an industrial. Interesting, huh?

Well, now I like to randomly walk up to people I don't know in the street and punch them in the face, then say, "Haha owned, more tears b*****."

So my life has been enriched in that way.

It ruined my work ethic and gave me irreversible apathy and depression through hours of sheer boredom.

- I'm contemplating messing with the stock market because I understand buy/sell orders on EVE.

- I'm also going for a career change to get the hell out of retail, because I hate not having energy or time to actually play this goddamn game.

none... if your inspired to do thing in RL due to a game. I would have been in Jail a long time ago.

The last time a door-to-door salesman came around hawking his crap I told him to "Go back to Jita you n00b!"

He had no idea what the hell I was talking about.

When I answer the phone I say "Herp, derp, derp" instead of hello...

I undock my car every morning...

When pedestrians get in my way i target lock them...

- I hate other humans more, selfish needy/greedy whiners looking out for themselves and don't respect anyone else.
- Less trust for random individuals = less socializing, not going to let someone gank my **** when I invite them in my house
- Have made very few donations to charities anymore, ******* beggers. Homeless "chose" what happened to them, not my problem
- A rage that I if I even met another EVE online person I didn't know, as soon as they said "Oh, I play EVE as.." they wouldn't finish the sentence before I popped them int the face.

Thanks guys! Shocked

Hmmm, this is an interesting topic. Eve inspired me to drink a lot of beer, wine, and whiskey due to the fact it's obviously more fun RUI(roaming under the influence).

As someone said above me, I've learned how to use excel thanks to eve.

Other than that I'm not sure it has inspired me to do anything. I bought a CNR model(got it for xmas actually w/e), it looks pretty good on my desk. That counts I spose.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

I now like to stand outside small businesses, such as convienent stores and what have you, and 'war dec' them. I wait for an employee to either enter or exit the building, and when they do, I gank the hell out of them and take their loot.

Then, when they complain to the police, I whine and scream that real life is being nerfed in favor of the carebears.

I started posting on Reddit as a j4g escape plan





















It was not a good decision especially as M Bolton just said he'd literally let anyone join















Reddit is a bad website full of loathsome people
