This is the road to doubt of self and all of reality and eventually, insanity.

"What if that person sees it differently?"
"Is my blue the same as that persons blue? What if what they see is my purple but all their life it was called blue so they call my purple, blue?"
"How do I know any of this is real?"
"How do I know I'M real??"

Really, in reality reality is a real as it is in the eye of the beholder. So if you want to perceive EvE as real, it is.

I am quite sure it would sound way better spoken. You could probably do a good job creatiing the vocal content for EvE trailers Smile

It's = It is

Its = possessive

Forum rules

6. Racism and discrimination are prohibited.

Racism, gender stereotyping, hate speech,  and sexism are not permitted on the EVE Online Forums. Derogatory posting that includes race, religion or sexual preference based personal attacks and trolling can result in immediate suspension of forum posting privileges.

7. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.

Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums.

CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political afiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.

Thanks! :)

You know why reallife scamsites contain lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of words?

It's part of the scam. Helps changing viewpoints on things
and adapting the reader's logic and perception to one's liking.

1. Wall of text
2. Felt like a lecture about something everyone should already know. (From what I read in the first few lines)
3. Only read the first few lines and scanned over the rest of it.

Synopsis: Writing in a more compact form and getting your point across in fewer words is a good thing. More isn't always better.

If that's a general thing of yours I'd feel sad for the lack of depth in your life.
A depth you would have no idea is missing.
