umm it's nothing to do with game mechanics and everything to do with people. If you've ever studied philosophy you might be familiar with Thomas Hobbes. He theorized that without any political community:

Quote:

In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.


Fact is if you're not Blue to me you haven't pledged to not shoot me (even then you could be an awoxer). If you haven't pledged to not shoot me how can I be sure you wont? So I need to make sure I'm protected, what's the best way to protect myself? To kill you first and ask questions later. Especially in a game where killing someone has no real consequence.

Human nature dictates that NBSI will be dominant unless someone can form an actual government that enforces it's rules. Never been in CVA territory (though after checking links in this thread apparently I'm KoS - queue ironic YOLO vOv statement) so I'm not sure how good they are at policing their area, but that's what you really need: a legitimate monopoly on the use of force in a given area.

Thank you.


Things would be so much easier for you if you just went NBSI.

It already filled with that stuff.

That said, did you know that cats don't have real solid collarbones, which helps them squeeze through narrow places?

Second.

There are few places in EVE where small gangs can have fun and neutrals can enjoy 0.0. Say thank you for this. Rest of eve is blobfest competition and scam contests. NRDS is superior in every way, too bad the game mechanics favour NBSI behaviour.

CVA is the oldest alliance in EVE for a reason while NBSI alliances come and go under different names every year.

As for the OP post, you are KOS/Red, so you'll be shot if you come to Providence. Ask your alliance why.


I assume you mean second oldest ;) I know why I will be shot.

providence is dead, CVA and blues get so bored they shoot anything that jumps in. Reminds me of -A- space. Just take a cheap ship down to stain, curse, syndicate, or some other shithole npc held 0.0 where u can actually dock at a station. Buy a ship there, buy mods or BPC's and build your ****. Rat in belts, build better ship. Avoid bubbles. Make alot of isk. Lose more isk because your so far from jita.

rinse repeat. Get bored move back to highsec and setup in lowsec = win.

there, thats pretty much the next years forecast for u

seriously everyone wants to check out 0.0, its cool I did. And Im glad I did cuz 0.0 is bore-sec. But I recommend stain or curse. Of course. Once you move in youll be trapped in one system. Every gate has bubbles, and every system is owned by different alliances/corps. Traveling 3 systems in curse might take hours. u decide

If you are KOS go to CVA-Diplo channel to aks why or change it.

Providence is one of the few civilized places in EVE where neutrals are relatively safe and protected, its the closest thing we have to player run CONCORD. Its also the most developed region in the game, wonders why, with over 60 player owned and built stations... how many can say that about their region?

Anyone is welcomed in Providence as long as they respect NRDS rules, which for your information are enforced. If you don't respect that expect to die.

Provi back in 08-09 was a pretty hoping place with constant small-mid gang fights with -A- back before blobs & cap hot drops ruined the game. If i could turn back the clock, i would return to that era. Don't know how it is now, i doubt the old guard is still there. goodtimes though.

yep, I remember when CVA was building the 1st player owned station there. Was quite busy and friendly. Now theres 60 empty player owned stations. CVA pets ratting in roid fields. An occasional lost neut checking out 0.0 for the first time until he realizes CVA and pets are rude and cocky as hell. Then years later he returns and death bloom on ur fleets.. Providence is no different than any other region now. Your better off going to any other region to do whatever it is people do in boresec. Pfft, even ushra kan abandoned providence because its so boring now lol.
