EVE General Discussion

hrm since this game keeps me from going apesht IRL, I guess... yes? Actually any game would do that :P but Eve is definitely one of the top 3. Eve is handsdown the best for providing entertainment in my fractured daily spaces, which is hard to do in other MMOs. Most are not very good with 'drop everything the kid needs a change', 'animals need fed', 'lunch prepared', etc. So it's really ideal for a SAHM :) (Stay at home mom)

Confirming this <3

I've made sooo many friends from EVE both real life friends and internet friends. for that I'm very grateful

thank you EVE community, you're the best!

(also, I pretty much have the world's best job!)

how do you know it's not pink yet?

I've quit jobs I've had over the years six times in order to go to FanFest, or do Alliance Tournaments when holidays have been refused by companies I've worked for. Four of the six times they have called me up when I've gotten home and sheepishly asked me if I'll come back to work.

Coupled with that, I met and got together with the most awesome woman in the world playing Eve, who's a hardcore gamer, is gorgeous, kicks ass and has an awesome sense of humour.

I've also had the opportunity to meet epic people, get involved with epic projects and organise awesome Eve player gatherings in London, one of which is occuring next week and has a 150+ attendance list plus a dozen devs showing up.

Eve has also given me an appreciation of foreign culture, let me see the world from hundreds of different perspectives, opened my eyes to differences in custom from country to country and proved to me that Iceland is the most awesome country on Earth.

When I started playing Eve I was 18 years old and was a shy, quiet engineering student who wouldn't even consider speaking out with opinion and was scared to even make a presentation in front of ten fellow trainees.

A little under 10 years later I've been on stage in front of thousands of people at multiple FanFests, as well as being watched on webcast by tens of thousands. I've been a part of live broadcasts watched by tens of thousands when working on Eve-TV and have hosted player gatherings and stood up and spoke in front of hundreds of people in the same room.

I can't even remember how many countries I've flown and driven to, organising and attending player gatherings and getting to know Eve players.

Eve has had a massive positive influence on my life, and the only way you let your life get destroyed by any video game is if you're too thick headed and bone idle to keep control of it, take care of yourself, do things right and make the right calls at the right time.

In these cases it's not the game that's to blame, it's the lethargic, lazy, thick skulled idiot behind the keyboard and/or controller.

plenty of pink things on my desk at least!
most of these items have been given to me by nice people

I wanted Drakúla but this was the only thing available, you're welcome to come get some

That is impressive.


I guess it depends on the person a lot. Come to think of it, there certainly are a lot of people out there who, say with one meetup gathering or going through the wrong door, will end up in an alley with a needle stuck in their arm (probably around 72 hours ).

People who tend to fall from grace should know their limitations and avoid stuff.


Or as the saying goes, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

My old girlfriend told me about her hot friend who liked groups. So I proposed a threesome. Answer: "How about you just do a onesome?"
