EVE General Discussion

New player puts together a character with a silly name
New players asks for help on forums.
New player is told to have a sense of humour.
He is then criticized for his silly name.
New player attempts to lawyer a defence for his name.
Another player steps in to the debate over name to point out he should have a sense of humour.
New player is advised that no matter if right ot wrong, defending ones self makes you look bad so now noone is going to help him now.

*sigh* humans...youre a funny bunch

EDIT:
I would recommend finding a good active corp with similar goals and interests to yourself. There are a bunch of newbro friendly corps which are great for learning the game with others, atleast until you decide where in eve you want to be

I'll prejudge you for your name. Not so much your intelligence and/or competence, but attitude. I'll simply judge that anyone willing to use a name like that is going to be someone I won't enjoy playing with. There's a few other types of names that get the same reaction out of me. I don't assume the owners are stupid, I just assume they're wankers and/or 12 years old. If you want to judge me for that, I've got no issue with it.

I don't care how professional and thoughtful a lawyer is, if he is dressed like a clown I'm not going to be his client!

Don't try to take it all in. There are things in the game that you can't do yet focus on the things you can. Take it in a little at a time and get good at that little bit then take on more.

Hi and welcome to EvE.

As far as your original post goes, everyone chooses to play how they want to play. If you have the patience to go slow and dedicate 2-3 months per "aspect" of eve, then go for it. There is nothing wrong with that, and making sure you have a good understanding of the basics for each Eve occupation will certainly benefit you in the long run......and Eve is very much a long-run kind of game imo.

That being said, Eve is also about specialization. The sooner you have a good idea about what is going to be fun for you, and what direction you want to take your character the better. It's a balancing act, and one you will have to figure out for yourself based on your personal preferences.

As to the name....well.
The most important commodity in Eve is trust. It is a bloody rare commodity indeed. As a new player you have no history, no "banked" trust so to speak. Any time you approach other players, either an individual or a corp, they are going to make an assessment of you based on the information they have (which is almost none at this time). The name is not going to be helpful to you. It is a name one would expect from a forum troll/ in-game troll/ adolescent troll etc. It does not inspire any trust whatsoever, and actually sets off a few alarm bells for those who have been playing Eve long enough to be very cautious in their dealings with an unknown entity.

While I do understand the principle behind your stated purpose of your choice of name, please understand that those who are criticizing it are not doing so out of spite or malice. They are in fact trying to help a newbro out. They/ we are simply trying to help you understand that it may well be detrimental to you in the long run to choose a name that immediately puts more experienced players on their guard.
You may be using the name in order to help judge other people by their response to it, fair enough. As long as you understand that the response will often be "tainted" by in-game experiences with which you are entirely unfamiliar at this time. Anyone who's played Eve for any length of time has probably had experience of trusting those who were not deserving of that trust. This is EvE.

Everything you say and do in this game will follow you. Every decision you make, in-game or in the forum will have consequences. We are trying to help you see the possible consequences before they jump up and smack you in the face.

This is about as helpful as I get. Advice is free, take it or not as you see fit.

we shall call this one pin

Just chill OP. Its a ladies game. No hustle, no skills just cruising around
