EVE New Citizens Q&A

Other newbies are reading your thread and liking the information it contains.

So, in-game, you can open the People and Places icon and type Curatores Veritatis and find the alliance. Then right-click and show info, and look at the Members tab. There you will see all the corporations that are in the alliance.

Show info on each corporation and they'll have public channels listed, where you can join the channel and talk to them, see if they're recruiting and/or willing to take newbies.

Otherwise, you can also try to set up a profile on their alliance forum (I linked it in a previous post) and chat with them there.

As far as people being vulgar to you, report them for harassment.

There is no reason not to name names. I do stand to my in game actions.

The term "trololo" is a reference to Eduard Khil (see Wikipedia for a good explanation for his very reasonable actions.). The act of sending you ISK was a response to your claim not to have received handouts. You are not alone in conducting social experiments.

Since it seams not to be mention yet I would like to give you the advice to see if your play hours line up with the active hours of the corp of you choosing. If I understood you right, you live on the sunny side of the globe so your timezone correlates with bedtime for most players. Since any corp that takes you (or any other noob) will likely be desperate for members, expect the recruiter to lie. You can check a public killboard to see when they lose ships. That tends to be the time when their members are online.

While you hunt for a corp you may want to talk to Sister Alitura. She is a real nice lass and much favoured by many capsuleers. If you happen to "lose" Dagan, I would be more the happy to help you out. I tend to have a few spare and are always happy to part with one - for just 5M ISK.

edit: updated with link to OPs current corp.

So if it was the Gallente that CVA supported, you'd just rationalize your position by finding something horrible that that nation does and fill it in... yeah, I get it.

Good and Evil aren't absolutes... they are paths one trods upon. The paths can intersect and change but it's up to us to choose which we walk down on a given moment for a given time. The only thing we can control in this life is ourselves.

People are not good or bad, choices are.

What CVA is doing from a game perspective is entirely good. None of those players are enslaving anyone, it's just a role. They are actually keeping a null sec area of space mostly free and workable, something that can't be said for other null sec areas.

I do believe that is what is trying to be said here, not picking on a fictional race like the Amarr for their fictional slavery. I think we are talking real cause and effect.

I didn't, just pointed out some reality there.

To be frank, I don't mind people messing around with Role Playing in the forums as long as it's understood that it's Role Playing and not reality. When the context changes to reality, it's not the best place or time for serious RP. Fun RP is a different matter, so I'm trying to take what you said in that context... fun. However, if you were serious, I was pointing out the reality context.

On to other fun!

I am having the same issue, probably a bug, just wait it out till you get home :)

You will be fine Tiff, but take you time, like I said, you can prove them how wrong you are, in EVE, you are just shy of a Goddess, you can be who you want, anything you want, don't let the words of the few effect how you will impact New Eden

Mate, please check the killboard link I provided a few posts back and reconsider your advice. The problem is not words. She managed to get herself in between a rock and a hard place while being surrounded by utterly clueless morons.

Alright, triage mode. Visit link1 and link2 to get a more or less complete list of your enemies. Add each of them to your address book and make sure you let it inform you about their online status. As long as they are offline, you are fine.

Stay in a frig, be careful before you undock. The local chat will tell you if any hostiles are in system, with a little star next to their name. Jumping into the next system may be dangerous in a frig but they will need luck to catch you. If they don't you should be fine running missions, as long as you keep an eye on your overview. Be ready to warp out any time.

Frigs are actually quite hard to catch and your enemies will likely come online after you left.

That bounty you got is meaningless (you should have asked that question.That's what the bounty was for.), just ignore it. The worst that it will cause is that the char that places the bounty will get a few mails when you lose ships. Ships are meant to be lost. What are you waiting for?

Given when the war was started (the timing is really close tho), you may actually have drawn the attention of those grim men towards your new corp. In my eyes you have the moral obligation to at least check what your corp mates have to say in those mails.

Don't worry, war is a good teacher. You will know right away when you did something wrong.

stupid mail still doesn't work :(
