Honestly, my worse day in EVE is to have volunteers no more qualified than their own whimsy presume to axe my communication as though they're gifted with some exact judgement. When, in fact, they do no more than hurl false accusations publicly, but leave the accused no avenue for defense. This is called "tyranny" and their justification is "they were told to do it."

You couldn't pay me to do it. I sure hope the same is true for you.

start reading the forums.

For me that means the game itself is getting boring and I'm about to play the meta :/

The Day the Goons took Holy Vale and Tribute from me the 1st time I was in NCDot, denying me the pleasure of proving my space-man hood against the evil Guristas pirates, One 10/10 MAZE at a time. Sometimes I still drink myself to sleep while listening to this song and plotting space-revenge on the evil Goons.

Ok, joking aside, EVE is a video game, they day I have a 'bad day' in EVE is the day stop playing it. I say this as a guy (with a girl avatar) who lost a Jump Freighter while autopiloting drunk to Jita during a war dec and who the next day lost a ratting Machariel in Fountain lol.

I would have said, the first time I lost a ship I loved. But over time in Eve you learn to not sweat it and not to fly anything you don't feel comfortable losing immediately in eve. Now I realize losing ships is good for the game. Go let some new players kill yo a few times and take risks.


But recently I think I had my worst day when my alliance moved to null and I have hundreds of ships fitted/ on market and billions of modules and I realized you cant survive in null very well without your own carrier. I have trained specifically over the last couple years for battle cruiser and smaller combat.

I came to the realization that to be involved with that content I would have to stop training for black ops and gunnery skills and dedicate 75 days or so to training for something I don't want to fly. Cry

Drunk L4 missioning, "The Assault" I believe.

Everything is a little blurry when I think about it, however I believe I lost a 1b CNR to 2 BS and 1 frigate. Scramblers are OP.

I can tell you about my worst day that almost happened.

Days before my player event, Flight of a Thousand Rifters III, I was steaming the docked Nyx on Twitch to help promote it. I also had other clients open doing other things preparing for the event, not steaming them of course. Just running around buying up the mods for the tank and stuff. On another alt I was setting up a T3 with gang links. I was sure I would be alpha'd upon undocking the Nyx for the event.

Now keep in mind the current station the Nyx was docked in was not the event location. No one knew where it would be as it was still days away. Outside the station was various known and unknown pilots of groups with hics and cyno's for, you know, just in case.

I'm bouncing between all my clients multi-tasking between buying goods, chatting in the event channel, all kinds of stuff...

I buy some things, say something in chat, buy some more stuff, answer a question and hit the undock button. Then at the last second realize I forgot the rigs. Hit the abort undock button. Open the market and see there is really nothing there anymore. Who the hell bought all the rigs?! Damn Hita market manipulators!! Then it hits me.

I was looking at the market for Marlona Sky and not the alt in Jita. And then I did the biggest holy **** moment in realizing I almost undocked the Nyx. Days before the event and most certainly into waiting HICs with cynos. And the Nyx was not fit with a single thing.

I have to agree with Jenn aSide here. I can't take the game too seriously as to have a bad day i suppose. It's a game, it is supposed to be fun. If you aren't enjoying it or you let it eat you up, then it's time to take a break.

I've had people call me everything under the sun after i kill them. Some of the threats are genuinely funny. And apparently my mother has questionable sexual choices, extensive partners and somewhat loose morals according what i am told. ( I haven't asked her about this yet, maybe i won't like the answer. )

If i let all that get to me, i may as well unsub now.

However, the stupidest thing i have ever done in EvE? Now there's a story......................................

If I ever had a bad day in EvE, I'd prolly quit. It's a game, I have fun even when I lose stuff or things don't go my way.

It's all about the experience, not the acquisition of ISK.

Worst day?
That would probably be Mumble related.
About the first large fleet I was in, had just set up Mumble and somehow failed at configuring it properly.

So while I could hear the FC in theory, all talk was drowned in that mighty automated computer voice constantly saying "USER SWITCHED CANNEL...USER JOINED YOUR CHANNEL...USER SWITCHED CHANNEL...etc etc etc"

I didn't know how to get rid of that crippling automatic audio message and after a while, out of sheer helplessness and blind rage, I started smashing my fists on the keyboard and yelling back at the computer: " SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT THE F+CK UP!!!"

Needless to say, I had accidentally hit the push-to-talk button while hitting my keyboard in helpless fury....

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.
