Crime & Punishment

I liked the "All Classes Needed...." part

also very little content, horrible design but paypal button

Well! Aren't you belligerent? And don't you just not know what the devil you're talking about! Do keep on commenting. Silly, stupidly seething, unselfconsciously petty. Excellent!

Keep 'em comine!

All I keep hearing is "You guys don't know what you're doing because your room is messy!"
I know, it sounds silly when you put it that way.
Our room may be messy, but we know where all our weapons are.

for the watchmen of EVE


Good evening. Gentlemen. Ladies.

Thank you all for accepting my invitation. I know its unusual for so many of you to be in one place. And in public no less. Let's make this brief. All of you have corps and alliances to look out for; people who depend on you even if they don't know it.

I also know that most of you will never be thanked for what you do because you have deliberately moved in silence. I respect that silence and would never break something so valuable to us all.

But I will say, on their behalf: Thank you. Thanks for doing what watchmen always do: tracing a circle in the dirt with the tip of your sword and putting everything on the line to keep everyone in the circle safe. You know you'll fail. Everyone who does it fails. But it has to be done.

And some of its exciting but a lot of it is tedious. You spend a lot of time watching. You watch your charges. Or you watch the watchers of your charges. You watch yourself, because you might weaken or make mistakes and that just isn't permissible. Not when their safety is at stake. You are the ones who stay alert when everyone else is mining or chatting or talking in the voice comms.

Hey back!

Both the Technocrat and the Neurotechnicon are getting lots of hits. Looks like we've scored one for the EVE community.

Arrrrrrrite.

Guys they are elite spies. The website is a keylogger.

Well of course, how else would they take over all of New Eden? O.o

The EVE Marketplace is incredibly complicated and mind numbingly huge. But some things are fairly straightforward.

When you click on "sell item" to sell ore or salvage or, well, anything, you are selling to a buy order. A buy order is an order to buy so many items at a certain price. You automatically sell to the highest priced buy order in range of your system when you click "sell item" This is the most convenient way possible for you to empty your cargo hold and be on your merry way. It is also the least profitable. Buy orders are always set as far below the retail price you could get from selling those goods as the market will bear obviously. Your own buy order is your friend. Everyone else's is a wicked sinful trap smiling at you with lips painted like a whore. They wink at you. They leer.

They say, "C'mon big spender, what's a real man like you sweating it over a few ISK? C'mon just click me. One little click."

At SFSC we advise you to avoid the temptation of easy money. Why? Because usually easy money does not lead to big money. And selling to buy orders is the easiest of easy money and a habit that helps insure your dependancy on handouts for the life of your character.

So what do you do instead?

Consider learning a few of the trade skills and trying to buy and sell using your own buy and sell orders. This is overall the most profitable option to you, but also the option requiring the most work on your part. It really is worth trying and if you like Trade, you can wind up needing a planet sized accounting system just to keep track of the zeros in your bank accounts. EVE needs traders just like we need miners and planetologists after all.

Try selling your goods to your Corp. This is pretty easy. All you have to do is contract the stuff over and you get your ISK.

Try selling your goods to other corp members. If the corp doesn't want to buy what you are offering, or you can make a more mutually beneficial arrangement with other members, just make individual arrangements for the exchange of whatever goods and services. There are no hard and fast rules for the these arrangements except that bargaining in bad faith with other corp members is, well let's just say its frowned upon.

Donate the stuff to Smiling Friends Social Club. Even if we can't sell it, we can reprocess the stuff and get a few good high end minerals from the items. It will wind up donated to new players. Yeah in my opinion donating is better than selling to buy orders where all you get is a tiny fraction of the item's worth.

Give the stuff to me, Praxis. At least I'll be your very best friend for the ten minutes I remember you did me the favor. Yes. Even THAT would be better than selling to a buy order.

Find a sharp corner of a piece of your loot and stab yoursself in the eye with it. At Smiling Friends Social Club, we recommend that you sell to a buy order rather than take this course of action.
