real men hull tankHONOUR TANK!

what is HONOUR TANK? well, fit a dread with cargo expanders to hold your HONOUR and thrust him alone against a fleet of 10 battleships or so.

it's an old meme tbh

Here's one I thought up, seems kind of catchy.

Something along the lines of finding a good chance at ganking something: popportunity.

Example: "Hey did you see that rattlesnake misisoning on D-scan?" "I do now! That sure is a popportunity!"

"23/7"

The eve version of "around the clock", considering eve's daily downtime, which used to be about an hour back in the days

I'm an old school 'puter dude.

Started my "net" career back when we "surfed" using SLIP on a 300 baud modem with black text on a white screen. This was before Mosaic!

No, I'm not THAT old, just net technology took off VERY fast after that.

I'm also relatively new to MMO's. Been on Eve about 2.5 years and I am STILL learning what a "meme" is let alone what they are.

Do a favour for an old fart, drop your favourite Eve meme here and tell me what it means (and if possible, the origin).

I'll do my best to LIKE every one I see. (whatever that means)...

Welcome to EVE, you must be new here P

you forgot :CCP:

as for some explanation 18months originating from CSM minutes (more than a year ago) when CCP promised to consider fixing stuff in said 18 months.

excellence is CCP motto for the same year, iirc... result you can see in your avarage rant thread throughout the forum

other two are the same


back on subject, didn't see these mentioned yet (not all are eve-exclusive, but still):

- my raven was equipped with following:
- I endorse this product and/or service
- this will be dealt with
- this guy seems legit


oh, and "I reserve X shares pending audit" is kinda belongs here too, imo


don't think those really need an explanation, mostly used for trolling meaning exact opposite.

Boat violencing - from back in the day when Chinese farmers via their online translators would ask - "why you violence my boat?"

Also Internet Spaceship Terrorists became a common phrase after pirates were accused of being "just like Al Qaeda"

Are these eve related, if so.

Eve has sound?



That's been used in almost every MMO i have played, especially SWG with its squealing door sound bug.

Fail troll is fail

In rust we trust

That's how I'd fit it

And my favorite: 1000$ Japanese designer jeans

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
