Ziona, what am I doing wrong. The people I meet in EVE are almost all friendly mature and helpful. Can you tell me how to fix my gameplay so that I can be alienated and unhappy too?

You're still living pre-'stab you in the back' Blink


After almost 7 years in EVE...?


Maybe you have a steel plate covering your back? Did you check at least once during those 7 years? For all we know, everybody might have broken their knives while trying...

Haha maybe that's it. But EVE players seem to me to be ingenious enough to circumvent a measly steel plate if they really want to.

Reading some posts in this forum, it's hard to escape the impression that some people really want to feel victimised and alienated.

This is Eve, they'll nick your steel plate, use it as a shiv to stab you in the back, then sell both the plate and your biomass to space pikeys.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

So what you're saying as that the people ive:

Flown with
Learnt with
Killed with
Saved
Been saved by
Met and gotten drunk with

For 4 years..... Are... Planning... On backstabbing me?

Better do it to them first I suppose.

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.

I honestly can't tell if I'm being insulted or complimented here.

Being or not a spy makes no difference. Looking or not looking like a spy on the other hand can make some difference.

This makes it sound like you had the opportunity to take down a fleet, but chose not to.
We all know the truth though. You have about as much chance of taking down a fleet as I have to make a urinal cake sing when I pee on it.

An unexpected friendly gesture is good, cheers you up a lot.

An unexpected non friendly gesture can be the norm.
