Tanking Gf Agro stack penalizes and you can be insta-awoxed if you didn't train her patience to V and other supporting skills and try to tank for too long

Against Sexy Agro you can always launch preemptive strikes, unless she haves Nymphomaniac III or higher you should be safe with basic Meta 2 tank

Edit:

This should also work

Play more and more Eve, the situation will eventually resolve itself and you'll get to play as much as you like. The downside is that you'll need to take breaks to make your own sammiches.

How do you guys get rid of your gf/wife/lover when you want to play eve?

All my friends were online yesterday, I wanted to fly around and shoot people but the damn gf wanted to get dinner. Then she wanted to procreate. By the time she left it was 2300 and I had to sleep because work in the morning. This occurs about every other day.

I just want to play EvE all day. How do you guys get rid of the significant other problem?

Pretty simple, in my case:

If I really wanted to play EVE all day I'd be alone (and broke, and lonely). Instead, I married a woman who is an avid gamer herself. Her time modding and playing Skyrim is my time playing EVE, broadly. When she walks into my study with that little smile on her face, I safe up, log off, and forget what I was doing for a while.

Either live alone so you can act like you live alone, or live with someone else and act like you live with someone else. If you're unhappy with your current arrangement, find a way to change it.

Your nerd gf pays your bills?


LOL, no. There are other reasons why I don't play EVE all day.

The easy answer from a 4 realz lady....rather than consider it a contest, try to involve your significant other in EVE. This does not have to mean playing directly. Try things like...

"Hey dear, I'm re-customizing my char, come gimme a hand with a new look"
"Hon, come mess with my corpmates. Put on my headset and tell my fleet "Primary is (X)""
"Babes, yer good at math. Should I buy X, or Y to make more profit. Here's the numbers...."
"Sweetheart, yer good at art. Can you make my corp a propaganda poster?"

For most gals I know, the worst thing you can say is "Leave me alone, I'm playing EVE go away". That's a quick way to make her resent the game.

My SO hates actually playing EVE, but she's all about math, so she helps with figures. It keeps her involved, and a part of my fun. I never get "SO Agro".


Ohh, and as an edit addendum: RL > EVE. If things get to "EVE or my partner", choose your partner.

Get a girl into hardcore bondage. Get rope. Tie her up. Problem solved. Make sure shes actually into bondage before trying as I take no responsibility for your prison sentence if shes not.

That's pretty simple.

First you have to set your priorities, which means EVE comes first. If she then starts whining about your addiction you simply ignore here or depending on the level of complains. If you have moral issues with beating your gf i suggest you try to fix this moral issue with alcohol first.

Keep this up for a few weeks or months and the problem will eventually solve itself.

I'm just glad you looked for help on the EVE forums. There is probably no better source if it comes to planing your personal life.

Good luck

To the people that preach the false belief that RL > EVE I say this: That's just a lame excuse for why you are so terribly bad at this game. Also you are probably deluded and think your DNA is somehow special and deserves to remain in the gen pool. Well it's not, and deep down you know it. Just leave the OP alone with your problem ok?

Easy. Mine is crazy about shoes and every time she gives me lip about EVE, I just give her a deadpan look, point at her collection of shoes and go back to the computer.

Since get dinner didn't mean "cook and serve it to you at the computer"; maybe you just need a new GF?

GF or Wife Aggro has nothing on Cat aggro. My wife, at worst, will complain at me, and I can make it up to her later by watching a sappy movie or something.

Nothing can appease the feline.

Thread moved to OOPE for having broad appeal for gamers, not just those that play EvE.

With mine, nip makes them both go bonkers and run around randomly knocking over stuff. And I already have a 2 year old for that job, she doesn't need any help from the furballs.
