FTFY

I play LOST SOUL EVE but I recently sold all my stuffs and cut down to a few SBs, one of which I promptly lost hilariously due to double-tapping the cloak hotkey.

Checked out Jame 315's site once, had a most disagreeable self rightous vibe to it and felt like it was little more than a place for James 315 to gloat over the posts of others in some kind of lame attempt to 'expose' them and twist their words to justify his own hateful agenda.

Seems this game attracts people like that...

You're clearly missing the RP, and the point.

He'll never admit it (because he's RPing and needs to stay in character, of course), but he is one of the people who is successfully RPing in Eve in general.

In solo PVP EVE
You win at everything, even when you lose

TIL even most of James doesn't care about James.
