Pick out some choice fanfic for the next structure bash and read it on comms. Steamier the better!

How many of your friends could you objectively claim wouldn't sell you out for let's say...ten million dollars?

I didn't take a whole lot of psychology courses, just some basic stuff that was a requirement. Most of what I said comes from reading, and personal observation. That said, I'm sure there's an official term for when someone says something in order to outwardly maintain a desirable social appearance, even if they disagree with their own argument, if only on a subconscious level.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

10 mil? That's lame. 10 B, might get some of the casuals' interest. A few would require 50-100 B if they'd even sell at all -- or they'd split it 50/50.

Thank you in advance for your advice.


If you want to make lots of friends in Test there are several important keys to success:

1. Hang out in the Bacon Bar on mumble for hours babbling about anything irrelevant to Eve Online
2. Find some people to scam. Bring in some new corp prospects and steal all of their assets. This is one tried and true method of making lots of friends in Test alliance.
3. Fly nothing but a rifter on all CTA ops. This is a mandatory
4. When the FC says "Hold on gate! Gate is red! make sure that you spam the jump button.
5. When in big fleet battles or while sitting on a titan waiting to drop pop a cyno randomly from your rifter and drop fleet. Better yet take a fleet command position and see if you can warp the titan to a gate.

All you have to do is bring your friends to the reality cusp.

Take your friends and briefly hide them in your handbag while you are traveling to the sanity duct.

When you get to the sanity duct, take your friends out of your handbag and feed them a piece of mangus cheese while stroking their hair.

After that its feet first ( Important ) into the reality duct.

Once you are inside of the sanity duct, try to take a left at the burning tires and then go straight until you reach the door of the forgotten walls.

go through the door of the forgotten walls and ask to speak with a wallhonkler. Tell him that you have brought your friends.

Tell the wallhonkler that your friends need a good soul scraping.

At this point you will need to check on your friends every-so-often to make sure that they dont get over-scraped.

You should check on your friends 3 times daily, every 6 hours, four times a day with food.

Once they look good, put them back into your handbag, leave the sanity duct and they will like you a lot at this point in time.

I don't see the relevance of what you just said in reply to what I said. But to answer what you replied with, I can't speak for other people but I wouldn't sell someone out that I considered to be a friend for 10 million dollars.

Not sure what you're talking about here either. What you replied to is how I think, it's not trying to impress you in anyway, it's just part of who I am. Subconscious level, that made me laugh, there's nothing subconscious about it.

Ok, well, I hope they all sell me out, pursue their dreams and take me on some nice trips, then.

What happens if over-scraping does indeed occur?

At least I'm not making any pretenses about it.

There's no need to be friends with fat mouthbreathing idiots (aka Eve players). Make friends with cool people in RL (aka people who don't play MMOs), always look at Eve players with the contempt and disgust you'd have for a drooling leprous bum living in a trash can.

You want people on the internet to like you?

:comedy: That's great.

They aren't people, they don't exist, they are a virtual representation of who they want to be, or who they think they are.
Much like 'friends' on Facebook.

Do what you want, & care less about what virtual people think.


& this
