I am currently learning to grow my own tomatoes. It is proceding very well. If i manage to get them tasty tomatoes in august i might consider growing weed. I heard it has a better profit margin then tomatoes.

Grow weed in with the tomatoes, best of both worlds.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I learned the other night that even though I thought I was having Fish for dinner, the wife thought otherwise and did me Spaghetti with Meatballs.

I've either been playing EVE too long or watching to much Comedy Central, because the above sentence sounds like a sex joke that i just can't grasp to me.

Interesting.

I convo the bear. He rejects my convo.
I email the bear. He ignores it.
I send the bear a fleet invite. He rejects it and blocks me.

Then in local he says 'stop inviting me I'm not falling for that...' and 'if I join fleet you can shoot me...", also tipping off the suspect someone was trying to get a warp in on him...


This happened to me not too long ago. I tried inviting a missioner to fleet, who was crying in local about a flashy yellow in his mission. "Lol, fleet invite, like I'm going to fall for that!" he said in local. Tipping off the suspect. So then I private convo him and seem to convince him that I'm not and alt of the suspect and I am actually just trying to help. He informs me that if I were to shoot the suspect then the suspect will just warp all his friends/alts in to kill me. Apparently people still have no clue how the aggression mechanics work.

Same as ever.

If you ever feel that a game is job, find another hobby.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

That is actually the default hotkey to tell any drone to engage. I reset that hotkey to something more intuitive to me. Ctrl-E for engage, which goes with the Ctr-R that I use for return to bay.

Some 6 months ago or there about I learned the true nature of the cosmos and our existance, as I see it anyway. Such things will always derive into people's subjective perception.

(shakes head)

I finally probe the two of them down and warp in, just as the suspect gives up and leaves...

F#$ing carebears. Even when you try to help them (instead of shoot them in the face), they will find a way to F##$) it up.

What I learned? Don't help carebears, ever, just stick to the regular scheduled program of shooting them in the face. Shoulda known.

Yes, because Eve players are taught from the get go that all strangers are friendly and you should definitely get in their van for candy if they tell you to, because Eve strangers are the bestest strangers in the world who would never touch you in the places your bathing suit covers.

It is good to have substance to one's existence.  But in the absence of substance, one can do much yet with style.

I've learned when selling a lets say a hundred items of something and you enter one of the lower selling isk bids because the higher order doesn't have to volume to absorb your sale totally, you will still sell to those more expensive orders first before it sells to the lower sale bids.

It actually all looks pretty even to me. Now considering bounties are higher in null than low and high, and that bounties are higher in low than high, that diagram, from 2013 showing 2012, looks like the game was pretty well balanced throughout 2012. If anything, the issue that graph provides to me is that production needs more incentive to get it happening in Null. Which, hopefully the introduction of the industrial changes coming supposedly this summer addresses and helps foster more production in non-empire systems.

According to those diagrams, it appears the game is fairly well balanced regarding where value is destroyed.

I'm totally interested to see the upcoming EvE economy presentation for this past year to see if EvE has successfully introduced more "sinks" to better coalesce with their economic views of how EvE should be.

Thanks for the link.
