MMOS are games for players liking to play with others, for solo guys for whatever reason liking to play solo they can also play sudoku or other solo games like shooting ducks etc.

You guys come to an MMO complaining players play together and complaining about their numbers.

Don't you see the silly thing in this reasoning?


I mean the players should bring more personality to the game, and not just do the same stuff in masses, thats what is completely missing, the fountain war did not bring up a single honorable personality, at least I did not hear of any, yea we did hear about the 4000 ship fight, but nothing more meaningful

with solo player I think of bringing individualism to the game, instead of just beeing another number on a killmail


History only remembers the great leaders, the armies are a mere footnote. Most men are content to simply be a part of the great armies that conquered worlds, some men need their names engraved in the minds of historians. Forgotten as they are, the unnamed soldiers are no less important to the story.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

I can safely tell you how you make the difference in between a bad and a good dictor pilot, one has a strong personality and takes his own decisions when or when not bble despite FC orders, the other is a simple monkey hitting the bble button when fc says so or when targets are already in warp thus bble'in his own fleet.

Non the less, the good dictor pilot with his individual thinking and decisions is still able to play with massive number of players.

Can you see the difference in your point and mine? -there are also other fleet roles than hit F1 on primaries that are extremely important and require strong character/personality individuals with on top excellent social skills: FCs, tacklers, probers etc.

You just decide to see or stick that negative image on every large fleet because you lack of knowledge and experience doing it. I've been there at my beginning and have a far different opinion now I've done a lot of stuff in Eve and flow a lot of different ships in different situations.
Doesn't makes me any better than you just a bit more experienced and probably as terrible if not even worst at pvp than you.

People also seem to forget the 100-150 man siegefleets, that brought you fun things like Q9PP. But it's ok, because the mittani remembers.

When I return maybe I will F1 on some rocks.

Yeah, being involved in making gaming history is kinda neat. Say what you want, you'll never do that without the blobs.

Gaming history is like the toy you get with a kids menu.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

pre fitted ships, reimbursement, calling out target, F1 smashing

some big alliances have taken it too far, McGoonswarm vs. BurgerTest

sure its what kids want these days, but if some would dive into the game a bit more that would not hurt

we need more solo players who want to randomly team up with others, try new stuff

too many just want to be replaceable ants...


I encourage everybody to add some story and meaning to their gamplay

it feels like they just have a burger where we have sushi each day, its so sad Lol


Getting angry about a video game guild is kinda bizarre ok?

Plenty of names could be brought up events such as

- The Lazamo
- Sort handing over systems
- Boat able to take out frigs (LOL)
- Blawrf coming out with his furry-ism

Not that OP can read any of this, but I think he just prefers to be kept in the dark.

At least in the CFC we <3 our furries.

I stopped getting fast food at fast food joints. If and when I was greasy food, I get it at a bar, since they have liquor to wash it down with.

Also, I did play solo (mining), but when I tried to strike up a converstion with the other miners, they ignored me, so I went and joined a FW corp to learn me some pvp.

I was missing the personality in this war, thats why it ends up beeing just a number... soldiers write good story, true... however I did not see any of those

still those stories of those individuals are missing... they are not told... honestly I made a better story out of my cynokills alone Lol thats what I'm saying here... there is something missing about those big fleets in EvE, personality, at least nobody sees it... I think people just lack the courage to tell the story, because of all the dull comments they would get... thats bad

So - you want more Gladiators, yeah? Well, that's nice.
Gladiators don't win wars or hold territory - Soldiers do. The Fountain War was precisely what it needed to be, to conquer and hold territory.

If you want more Gladiators, maybe you could look into sponsoring some games, yeh? Set up tournaments, recruit some sponsors, invite some folks, and have a fine party. Mind you, you're going to have to police it pretty carefully, if you want 'honorable' combat. 'Cause some folks, well, they only care about the kill.

Off you go now. Toodle-oo!

your stories are utter crap and anyone in the alliance who does useful things would prefer to be forgotten rather than have a story about them written by you

they have recognition in the group of people who matter

those people are us
