I was in Jita preparing some reports when I saw someone stating they were some sort of "Nigerian Space Prince", whatever that is. I couldn't figure out for the life of me what he was trying to pass himself off as. The worst part was his terrible scamming technique.

If you could sit down for one hour with someone who has passed on, who would it be and what would you talk to them about/ask them?

Probably any one of my ancestors, not sure which one. Apparently, there is a ritual where I can do just that but it had never really struck me to consult a shaman about it.

Most convincing scam you had ever encountered?

I'm so sorry, pilot. What you just asked was a textbook example of early Capsuleer Dementia, and I wish you all the best in the difficult process of navigating it. My heart goes to you. It's something that's always given me a sick feeling to imagine.

How would you try to make amends for the worst thing you've ever done?

Where possible, try to repair the damage. For me, that's easier said than done, though.

Where not....

There's no fixing it, so I try to be someone constructive, try to be useful to people or causes I think are worthwhile, try to be, on balance, a beneficial person.

I respect the people I've harmed-- not by giving them what they want, necessarily (humans are apparently wired to seek revenge, but, not to actually enjoy taking it); more by making myself as little a presence in their lives as I can. I keep my distance, and don't try to force a contact I doubt would be welcome.

I don't squander my skills and resources, but try to use them in ways that'll help maintain things I see as beneficial. Also, while sometimes my kind-of-dark mind is a useful tool, I try not to be too much a person who's capable of what I'm capable of.

I live as best I can, and hope that, eventually, the good I do might outweigh the harm I've done.

A couple of weeks ago I smoked too much dryweed and accidentally warped my Stratios directly into a bubble camp instead of a bookmark which would have let me bypass it safely. Would definitely like a redo of that one.

I have a really annoying habit of making things so awkward that it kills conversations on routers. I'm going to try and avoid doing that, but, well, it isn't very easy. So. Slow change, I guess.

What is your least favorite drone?

Combat drones? Probably the Caldari line of combat drones. I have no problems with the logistic drones. For electronic warfare drones, well, the EC drones especially when used against me but who likes getting jammed out by a flight of EC drones?

For any drones not launched by the drone bay, my least favourite would be these mouse drones that run on the tiny wheels. The chassis is useless for anything. They can't go into the vents because they can't climb, they can't reach any damage areas that are not on the floor, they can't handle rough terrain and they tend to just flip over whenever a starship receives a hard knock. No surprise the design was phased out within a year.

Favourite complement with Long Limbed Roes?

Oh, oh, complement... sorry... uhm.... lots and lots of whiskey to deal with the fact that someone's sent me long-limbed roe.

So far? "GF".

Is it better to thrash-talk your opponents or it's much better to remain absolutely silent?

What do you own as a capsuleer that is the most unique?

Probably this rifle my gramps built and has since passed down as a sort of family heirloom. Wooden stock, bolt-action, very robust, immune to humidity and weather, fires 10mm shells, can pierce a Paladin's armour from long distances. From the top of the mountain to the village right at the bottom, so my gramps asserted. Never seen this make in any gun shop anywhere.

Fired it occasionally to make sure it's working properly every once in a while. Can't confirm that it can punch through a Paladin's helmet but the shot did punch right through the plated ceiling and very nearly hit two neighbours two storeys up during one of my maintenance cycles.

I can confirm that the rifle will still fire after it's dropped into the mud or left in high humidity environment for a month.

Who here actually enjoys long limbed roes?

I honestly don't actually know what they are.

Clarification on the previous question: What's the most unique thing you own as a capsuleer? Not baseliner stuff, but things only available to us as capsuleers. Insorum Components, unique ships, rare items or things found in space, and so on?

Just this Gnosis and Sunesis which I do not have any idea what to do with. Probably will sell it off, I guess?

I think I got a Gecko off something that launches drones but I'm probably remembering it wrong.

What's the worst part of capsuleer training, in your opinion?

When I was in training: shock simulations.
But if I was in training now, I might say the voluntary euthanasia.

In what way did the first time you died affect you?

There was a lot to compete for that, but... Probably seeing seeing somebody get pulled out of the shock sim having one of those conscious seizures where they get to spend their last minute 1) in pain and 2) knowing they're about to die. And then them dying.

edit: Forgot to ask a question but Mr. Biko asked one anyway.

I woke up in a CRU, and started laughing my ass off when I realized I'd left my last **** at the epicenter of a thermonuclear detonation right along with my then current clone. Kinda liberating, really. And one hell of a rush.

Have you ever hit a point where you wonder if you're the same person after one too many clones? If so, how did you feel about it?

Well, the first time I slept after dying was rather unpleasant. A nightmare of getting killed in a variety of creative ways over and over again what what felt like hours. You know how you're supposed to wake up after dying in a dream? Turns out that if you know you'll just get shoved into a fresh clone, you can just keep the dream going. Not that I'd recommend it. I needed a LONG shower after that.

Edit: Turns out I missed a page. No point deleting the above, SO!

Everything FEELS the same, but I can't help but wonder if there's something I've forgotten about myself that I just can't notice, lost forever. As above, had another cold shower after those thoughts crept in.

How did you find out that you had the DNA markers needed to be a capsuleer?

I barely have the ISK to keep myself flying. I'm a terrible pilot. I'm an even worse businesswoman. I'm not even sure what half my ship's controls are for. But in some small way, I'm helping. And I couldn't be happier.

Visited by people from an alternate universe.

That depends on whether their universe is symmetric or mirror-symmetric with ours. If the latter, I guess you could still eat them, you just wouldn't digest them very well.

What do you do when you're feeling perfectly content, and want to keep that feeling going?

Even though our love is cruel; even though our stars are crossed.
