EVE General Discussion

Our corp was once in a small HS/LS alliance. I enjoyed the guys there, but it got stale and boring since small gang was apparently, truly, dead. I called a meeting and basically said "let's re-roll into a single corp and join Brave - I've already gotten the thumbs up from the diplos". Half of the alliance (including our strongest Indy folk, the Germans) refused to leave because they "wouldn't dare join another nullsec alliance".

It was disheartening because I knew the reason they didn't want to join was due to being forced into CTA's and structure grinds as former nullseccers (former members of BoB, SoCo, and CFC, for ex). Brave was very much seated in Barl at the time (lowsec), and VERY MUCH against "required anything". The Brave culture was something I knew they'd love, but unfortunately they just didn't believe it would be true. We ended up parting ways with half of the alliance coming with me. Unfortunately, several of the Finnish guys I'd grown to really like had already stopped logging in and never even knew about the transition.

This wasn't the worst day, though - the *worst* day was when I found out the whole lot of them had joined either Co2 or BoT just a few months after the split. That really drove a stake through the ol' heart - I saw it as a "We were fine going into Null - just not with you."

a friend with an '03 char quit Eve. But he transferred his char to one of my accounts first. I spent 18 months and maxed him out as a Carrier pilot (Pre-triage). Perfect skills, lots of DG Invulns (500mil each back whem a 30 GTC was < 200mil). Faction smarties, total beast. That thing had went 40v1 and held the field for 15 minutes until backup arrived.

He comes back, I transfer him the character back.

"So what did you do with the carrier?"
"I Sold it and bought a Golem"

1 month after marauders where released and still utter trash. He bought a lvl 4 mission runner to replace a carrier that had seen the End of BoB, D2 and IRON.

HE WAS CALLED REX YOU BASTARD.

The day I down loaded the game and became hooked.

AP-ing a blockade runner straight into a low sec gate camp. Used to set destination, turn on AP and come back to the game just b4 it reached low sec. Of course, you're going to forget from time to time. Survived the first 10 or so times that happened which made me even more careless and the inevitable happened, lost blockade runner and a clone full of spensive implants. Close to a billion isk loss. Back in those days that meant more than 3 PLEX :D

Apparently I didn't learn enough from the experience cuz I found myself floating afk in low sec several times after that. Finally made me decide not to do any AP-ing to low sec all together.

These days, the New Order made me realize the error of my ways and I don't AP at all anymore (cept for noobchars with no training or implants I use for various scouting errands).

The day a friend was banned.

The day I realised playing the forums is more fun than playing the game.

The day a good friend was banned for asking someone to sing Gummy Bears to the Rescue.

lol i will never forget their elaborate titles for their military campaign with the most notable being the pepsi max lol or was it summet else lol i really dont think any one cared hahah we was too busy laughing when it was stopped dead in its tracks by iron.

I do believe you've done that more than once Mr. Fitting Manager.

Worst day: Logging in to change skills only to find out our alliance leadership decided they didn't want to do that anymore so they took everything and left. Then having to log out 5 min later because of RL obligations.

2nd worst day: Getting all my crap outta null the next day. This happened long before JF's and before I was space-rich, and most everyone else bugged-out on day #1. It was a painfully tedious/laborious process I shall never revisit.

When I logged into Incarna for the first time....

I was so depressed for weeks I forced myself on to save the corps pos and even then it was like seeing a friend dying from a horrible disease
