I have a cousin, well a few years back she popped out a nephew, no big deal right? Well turns out "Uncle Tom" can be called upon to watch "Mithril" who I am sure will meet much abuse in the future for his mother's creative naming, but for now we call him "Mith".

Well a few months ago was his birthday, and I totally forgot, so I have him a "Special Nickel, one worth FIVE TIMES as much as a normal nickel." So yes I am guilty of scamming my nephew, but there is hope for him yet.

I learned from his mother that he sold his "Special Nickel (worth five times as much as a normal Nickel)" for a dollar, then purchased four more and sold those as well. He eventually ended up talking to a Polk county Sheriff, and told of his wonderful Uncle. Scamming and backstabbing, I can't wait until he is old enough to play EVE online =)

PS: If you didn't figure it out "Special Nickels" are just quarters

Now with 100% less Troll.

I missed you, Tom.

The OP is so incredibly messed up, I'm laughing because I can't tell if its a troll or not. if its a troll, its a hilarious troll. If you don't get how this is related to EVE... you probably haven't played enough.

My neighbors named their kid Leon Musashi. Leon after the assassin guy in the Luc Besson movie "Leon: The Professional." Musashi after the samurai duelist Miyamoto Musashi, of course.

Reminds me of the parents who named their kids "Winner" and "Loser".

Ironically, Winner is in prison for assault, sexual harassment and robbery.

Loser has a successful career in a comfortable office job. His co-worker's call him "Lou".



Back to the OP's topic, ALL kids are given EVE training of some form in their life. It's called "Middle School".

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.
