Did the tutorials.

Joined a corp.

Heisted said corp of everything, including it's players.

Then fought in the war-dec that ensued from heisting said corp.

Lost horribly.

But had fun.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

Did the military tutorials

Did the soe epic arc

Started the mining tutorial and quit mining after 2 minutes of shooting rocks

Guy in NPC corp told me his profession was ganking and piracy and makes him hella ISK so I grabbed my corax and set destination for lowsec. Misread the autopilot route to mean my next system was my current system and found an Orca in a belt one system out of lowsec. Realized that riches were within my grasp as an evil pirate plying the space lanes of new Eden, locked the Orca and tried to activate my missiles. Got a warning about "you're engaging in an action that blah blah" oh god the Orca is going to get away! Disable safety, launch one volley, get CONCORDed.

Joined RVB to learn the ropes of PVP and emerge from the experience as a combat juggernaut. Misunderstood "ships on contract" to mean "free ships" and was quickly broke within the first 24 hours.

Looked into PVP corps with ship replacement policies and tried to join enlightened industries after reading recruitment ads about newbie friendliness and free ships. Had done research into corp before applying so they assumed I was a spy and was denied.

Went into the corp recruitment channel and found Pixel Navigators, which was one of the best places I could have possibly ended up. Almost didnt get accepted because I was an 11 day old character and therefore probably a spy ;)

What did you do in your first fourteen days?

Did tutorials. Skipped business, mining, and whatever else boring tutorials.

Did SoE epic arc.

Joined FW. Tried soloing a Tengu in a Thrasher. It went OK.

Decided FW was a messed up clusterfluffle. Quit.

Started hanging out with a nullsec alliance. They dumped FC on me my first day in nullsec. It went OK.

Moved to nullsec.

I'm fairly certain I lost my first real ship, a Kestrel, within the first 14 days (way back >5 years ago).

I warped into an easy site, and started killing the frigates. I finished it, and warped to the next site.

Unfortunately I warped to the wrong bookmark, and warped to a high-difficulty site I meant to avoid. It was the first time I saw an NPC battleship.

I had only a few seconds to admire all the amazing new, and big, ships in the site before they noticed me.
