About the monocle

I am pondering the purchase of a monocle and wanted to know from the... higher class of Eve, just what is the benefit of owning a monocle? Do you notice other eve players groveling a bit more and worshiping you? Have you noticed a faint cinnamon smell coming out of your toilet after you use it lately?

This is a fairly difficult decision, I need help to decide whether or not I'm going to join the ranks of the elite monocled.

I would instead suggest the purchase of a pie. Or several pies.

Many, many people like pies. Very few care for monocular ornamentation.

Thus you will be much more popular (albeit with the unwashed, pie-craving masses).

Don't - they're very devalued. Only 800M. I only wear mine for old-times sake, it is not the indicator of taste and class it once was.

Just be careful to keep an eye on it.

Don't confuse ego with class.

It seems a good choice, stations offer valet parking if you wear one

I like the fact that they're starting to make some of the items cheaper but what they should also do is add more items for the upper class as well. What I want is a top hat and cane to go along with the monocle and the ability to fit two monocles. I mean there just aren't many options for those of us on the top. Monocle and jacket and that's it.... unacceptable

In my experience, monocles are best worn by those that make people buttmad for a living. It works great for that. People get extremely mad, sometimes without me having done anything at all.

What a good idea!

I have no real interest in the whole Eve-Barbie thing, but, if I could buy a Top Hat or a Bowler/Derby hat, then I would not hesitate to aquire one.

No it just means that having purchased a monocle, you obvious don't have two brain cells to rub together. Therefore anything you say is of course immediately taken to be a steaming pile of crap.

Monocles are good if you wish to come across as the same type of people as the genetically flawed European monarchy of the 18th, 19th and twentieth centuries. Eg. The ability to talk and drool is the high point of your day.

Oh yes indeed. To be honest, I do wish they would release a more exclusive monocle, perhaps costing a low six-figure sum of Aurum. The current one has lost much of it's... pizzazz.

Yes and they should make it invisible for the real connoisseur.

Monocles are only relevant to those who are being skull*ucked on a regular basis.......A gaping socket is not
