So I noticed Eve-kill.net has a new banner. A nice drawing of two children playing in a sandbox.
The question is: Is this a true representation of the Eve sandbox or is it only a representation of the narrow aspect of the game that killboards like Eve-Kill.net stands for?

Give me your thoughts.

The banner.

I think it's an attempt to be funny and get a smile on your face. It's not supposed to be an accurate representation of all the wide and varied interactions between all of the players in the game.

Children in a sandbox.

Seems like Eve to me.

This is not a signature.

The two "man sausages" on the girl's castle ... the image is deep. Shocked

I probably should not say deep here... It just gets deeper.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

"Basicly two kind of EvE Players."

True. And made me chuckle.

Why don't people ever check their spelling and grammar before they save images and post them for the world to see?
"Basicly two kind" seriously?

One person actually wants to play the game while the other just wants to screw everyone else over... yeah, sounds about right.

Kinda sad, actually. Lol

Zak which one is the kid actually playing the game?

As can be seen in the picture, the kid with shovel has just finished his own, much more impressive sand castle with his friends and that nice big shovel, and then uses the shovel to remove competition from the field, thus winning EVE.

The kid in pink is just less resourceful, and has low chances of success unless she learns to protect her achievements or teams up with others who could grab the jumping kid by his swimtrousers, give him a wedgie and toss into the ocean.

Yeah, that banner pretty much sums it up. I've described Eve to friends in the simplest terms possible: Eve is about ruining someone else's day.

Allow me.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

I am #4. I am the man with the sand. Cool

So did Riverini make that? The spelling seems similar.
