EVE General Discussion

http://www.youtube.com/user/OrdoArdish

Of the people whom I have met in Eve Vilnius is perhaps the most interesting.

He is Dutch; once upon a time they controlled the world. If you graph population over control over time the Dutch are very close to the top of the list.

He has an understanding of Eve mechanics that goes beyond what is needed to play and to be successful; it allowed him to explain the game in a way that new players could understand.

He was neutral in ideas of who is best or closest to winning Eve, the game is beyond the ability of the players to judge.

I will miss Vilnius, and wish him the best of luck wherever he may land.

Who do you miss? And why?

Only because the Northmen spent some seed in the fair isles!

*I say this as someone from the great genetic melting pot over the sea, and do not mean any offence.

Cry Havoc the alliance.


Because they knew how to hot drop, roam, and fight. I had just joined and trained to Logistic 5 when they disbanded. I haven't left although there is no activity at all just because I don't want to drop the flag. Sometimes still I get a random salute in local. I miss the boys.

Why would you sit in a dead alliance while actually subscribed and playing

As much as I want to read your propaganda anti CCP smear ad, the youtube page has 0 videos and links to a forum thread that explains the reasons why he quit (which I would love to read, understand, analyze and then integrate within my consciousness) is nowhere to be found as it leads to a 404.

So in the end, if he managed to quit over a mechanic he disliked, he left nothing to explain himself and all his work and "understanding" as you put it, is lost on all of us.

Could you care to explain the "why´s" of his departure or provide a working link?

I am very much interested in hearing about the ideas this ex-eve player had or has regarding the game and the reasons that made him quit.

I also miss no one, EVE is filled with the dead accounts of irreplaceable people ... very much like the Real World, though sometimes, deep in the night, when I am alone in my small cottage eating turnip soup , I recall some friends whose accounts are as dead as of those that were important in here, but I gladly go back to my soup.

i don't think i've ever had turnip soup.

I suppose if I am to answer honestly, I miss Freddie Mercury.

Not that he was an EVE player, or Dutch -- but he made the rockin' world go 'round all the same.

Who?

You have an amazing proclivity for dramatically posting about **** that absolutely nobody can possibly give a damn about.

The more relevant part seemed to be that he was using Hours-for-PLEX on a monthly or frequent basis, which was considered abusing the system.

It seems the terms of Hours-for-PLEX are not clear enough.
