During my stint in Brave, the corp tradition was Bourbon.

Bourbon this, bourbon that, bourbon bourbon bourbon. Shots before Op's, during, and after.

All the while I'm thinking: "Jesus Christ.....I'd rather drink goat **** decanted from human skulls."

Months after I left I received a bottle of.....you guessed it....Bourbon, as a gift from a supplier.


Sweet Mother of God. It's like drinking the nectar from all things wonderful.

So now it's Bulliet over an ice ball in a rocks glass. (Not that Jack Daniels ****, and No Turkey / Beam garbage either, thanks.)

You can quit sipping when you loose a 1/2 bill in ships, or get podded.

Flying without lubricant is possible, but never as much fun.

I have a couple things I'd consider rituals. One is my collecting of corpses. I can't resist them, floating there in space, begging to be scooped up and put into my 'Meat Locker' at my home station. It doesn't matter if I killed them or not (note, I've never killed anyone in game) but I love scooping up corpses to keep. I'm nearing a hundred right now. I'm waiting for the day CCP gives us a station trophy room where I can hang them on the wall or something.

Also, especially lately, I've been flying around to the tunes of Guardians Of The Galaxy Awesome Mixtape 1. Maybe it's because I have the mental vision of those songs playing in a space environment, but they just get me in the right mood for exploring the universe. :)

Only if there are no open reports or at least one other member of CCL is online, I launch EvE.

Reported.... God I'm so funny Lol

Whenever I play the .01 ISK game, I always skip x.x1 when undercutting and x.x9 when increasing the amount. Just to annoy others, because it's oh so annoying!

Tbh, I lied.

Before I log in to EVE I start my voice modification software ...
... then I start TS and connect to ts.halaimacode.com.

Then I start EVE.

No need to mention my VPN, I'm sure.

back when i had just three monitors and three characters (rain7, 8, & 9) i used to open character customization and zoom in on their head and shoulders so they would sit and blink and look around slightly while i did homework

before i go afk, i make sure my girls are seated first. the dudes never leave hangar view.

Help, I can't download EVE

Does watching pornography while mining count as a ritual, or is that more an accepted part of the gameplay mechanics?

As soon as I log into the game I pretty much have to check skills, market buy and sell orders, and contracts. This could be if I logged off 5 months or 5 minutes ago. I still don't know why.

Depends on who you ask. For me it is a regular occurrence, but then again I'm a depraved pervert Blink

Sitting on my deck at night smoking a cigar and camping gates. People on coms always ask, "Is that police car?"

yeah....yeah it is. And a police chopper. Got a townhouse in the hood!

well it's not a ritual, but what my characters purpose is....could be ritualistic. warping around in a rookie ship exploring the boundaries where such a ship can "explore to"....when not either pretending to be awesome, or spinning in station.

Start EVE with my main and my alt, join the local Orca booster fleet, and go fill up my Orca for the day. Stop by the POS, compress that ****, and store it in my station.

Then I take out whatever combat ship I feel like flying, head to the systems around and in Amarr and go suspect/criminal hunting.

When I get bored of that, I usually go do some combat sites, or sit in station and "socialize" with my corpmates on Vent.

I don't know how weird this is but I always start by checking the corp tab; I check wardecs and then the players that last logged in. .. then I check the sov map.

I always clean my hands and pray toward the Eve Gate ...

.....and right before a fight I take a deep breath!

I also clean my mouse to the cleanest so it sweeps faster....
