Just as a reminder: that 20B is sitting in escrow with Chribba and has done for over a month now. Assuming a modest 10% ROI, that's 2B earnings Gevlon has thrown away for nothing.


Damnit, I am sick of you people not telling us what the OPPORTUNITY costs are! Show us some charts!!!

His advice is perfect - you'll get bored and quit before the end of your trial period and win eve.

I find it kinda funny that he used the CCP research about new player paths to create a blog post (which shows that those players who don't join a corp and socialize quit the game at incredibly high rates) and then cooks up this piece of advice, which if followed would result in a new player retention rate of close to zero.

I'm pointing at the problem that the game-mechanically optimal path is totally unfun, which is bad game desing. I'm fully aware that social people can't play any game (not even a single-player) without chatting about it with their friends.

By the way this is why the 20B on the titan. If titan pilots don't dare to ask "friends" to scout or cyno for them in fear of awoxes, they might stop logging in. Even better, they value their "fun" higher than their titan and still involve "friends" into their movement.

You sticking quotes around the words fun, friends and [being] social is just art work. I've asked this before, so I will ask it again - you are aware that when you say "socials" you are talking about "everyone" right? In fact, being "a-social" is listed as a disorder? That it is also the symptom of many other disorders? That this is a concern because a vastly disproportionate number of "a-socials" end up in prison for serious crimes, or die to suicide?

I'm just wondering if you have any idea that having no friends [willingly], and deriving no fun from anything in life isn't the norm for 99+% of the population.

Waiiiiiittt.

Nope, nope.

It's a different thing. See, "they" do it in a group, so they're socials and having fun. He, of course, does it with no friends.

This means, for some reason, his is good, and theirs is bad.

Basically if you do anything, ever, that involves having fun and friends it is BAD, BAD PLAYER and you should stop, say "no, I don't want to ride bikes in the sun and chase girls, I want to trade implants in Eve online, and then send 100% of it to people not affiliated with me, who think I am a loon, and then I will make graphs" instead and correct your mistakes.

Man, I am so glad he is here to guide us.

Going to have to leave my corp of real life mates now and start playing solo with no TS/Mates over playing too, and leave my girlfriend as thats a massive issue being I have to talk to her and stuff. I never realised how bad having a social life was until gevlon pointed it out to me!! God damn I'm going to have to be a recluse who dedicates all their time to crying about an in game entity to have fun!

heres a funny insert from Gevlons latest Blog post

"They are completely delusional and bizarre groups hoping for future progression (without any real hope). They are a permanent disappointment for the members."

Ring any bells guys? Maybe someone who started a forum thread with over 700 replies mocking them since?

to give credit where credit is due this is the one thing you do right and is useful
This might be correct if the only thing thing that mattered in a fight was damage. Things like tackle, ewar, logistics, these things get missed out or cut down in "de-whored" data, when whole kills couldn't even happen if nobody got tackle for example.

^ This. So basic yet something that seems to elude Gevlon.

If the HIC wasn't on grid then the super kill likely wouldn't have happened.

Given this project is now through it's first month, I thought some stats would help:

Titans lost: 0
Titans threatened: 0
Number of bridges not made: 0
Titan pilots flipped sides in fear: 0
Blog posts claiming he is winning: ~15

Seems about on-course for a Gevlon project, then.
