The internet reproductive organ is correct.

But seeing how things are these days with the hashtag mobs ruining people's lives, the same anonymity is also the last means of being able to say that which needs to be said without losing your job at the least or getting Swatted at the worst (and potentially killed).

The first thing I've seen spergers do when trumped on issues is demand to know your real name or seek to goad it out of their target. It's no accident that the same people tend to back the occasional trial balloon of internet ID or "license" whenever some already-disturbed kid hangs himself over a social media post.

I recall a certain alliance overlord losing a CSM position over such an issue complete with the trappings of being called a bully and a threadnaught. You see he was already a target of much disparagement and thus was already known. Everybody knows the rest.

So you have to take the bad with the good. At the least, if someone wants to go to RL threats CCP will cooperate with local law enforcement and does not go giving out names or even making public the matter, which is a very smart move to prevent escalation and dodge liability over the matter. Vikings ain't dumb.

So do people not teach their kids not to trust strangers on the internet anymore?


The answer is mainly yes they do teach them not to trust strangers, but in relation to jenn asnide getting it wrong yet again, a teenage daughter often thinks they know best and are often in rebellion against their parents, so it is often ignore anything that those old people who don't understand what it is to be young blah blah blah say....

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

CCP always sides with nullsec no matter how stupid the decision or how craptastic it is for game balance.

CCP needs a business manager or needs to start listening to the one they have.

CCP devs have never seen an obtuse idea they didnt decide to immediately hard code into EVE in some arcane way that could never be undone.

Undoubtedly, the best, longest and most successful con in EVEs history, was and is, the staged annual big fight that nullsec puts on every year to keep CCP kissing nullsec butt.

You play EVE not because its good but because no good space mmo exists so the mediocrity of EVE is your 'hold' position till someone makes a decent alternative.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

From my experience, while you can pretty much jump into most games (aside anything FROM SOFTWARE, since Dark Soul and Bloodborne are hard on Super Soldier Serums), EVE Online has you go for the long-haul. There's no short-cut or quick-track to levelling up, leaving the time between now and your next skill levelling up occupied with collecting ISK so you have a stable economic foundation to play from, and to get the items and ships you want for the foreseeable future.

It is a tough environment to play in if you go it alone, especially in Null-Sec, so the game does promote joining up with players in other Corporations for support and to help with the learning curve.

Your first ship and pod kill in Null-Sec will be a rite of passage towards becoming a true Capsuleer.

I say this partly with myself in mind.

There's a relationship between 18 months and the word "soon". Without the iconic "TM" following the 'soon' it's probably implying a value less than 18 months yet just as likely more than one current era patch cycle. Meanwhile the full blown "Soon TM" is likely a reference to a period of time greater than or at minimum equal to 18 months. I can't help but suspect that internet-hamster gestation periods are related to this.

Lessons I learned the hard way:

  • Don't listen to Ferengi. 1700 rolls of duct tape applied to your hull does not improve its durability.
  • Duct tape should only cost about $6 per roll.
  • Rolling down the window to spit is not the good idea it seems to be. Keep a spitbucket in the cockpit instead.
  • Don't read Twilight while mining. Seriously, those books are terrible and they're not real vampires.

I have learned that this is the best way to negotiate:

1. Deliver an ultimatum.
2. If the other party does not comply use violence.
3. Reissue the ultimatum and demand extra compensation.
4. Repeat from 2 until compliance is received or the other party ceases to exist.

Some thoughts from my side:

There are plenty guys whom you could trust by 100% in Eve.
Solo gives same level of fun as a group activities.
Eve friends are not equal RL friends just try to remember that.
Some pilots do undock by mistakes.
I'm not even suppose to be here - common tactic.
Did he say jump? Best question ever.
