I've giving this some thought and here's what I think.

Nothing would really change! At least for a good while.

Why do you say that Mr Epeen?

Because most people are so caught up in their tiny little insulated bit of space and game style that that would not notice if a massive black hole suddenly wiped out all of New Eden except that one belt they mine day after day. Null people wouldn't notice because they never leave null. Mission runners wouldn't notice because they never stop missioning. Miners wouldn't notice because they never notice anything. War deccers would still be obliviously camping stations and notice nothing. WHers never notice anything because they are just weird people that live in a weird place. I could go on, but you get the picture.

Only the gankers would notice. And lets face they just aren't smart enough to figure out why they didn't just get Concorded for blowing up an empty indy in the Jita pipe.

No if there was no announcement, it would be business as usual in New Eden.

What are the maximum amount of yawns? I need to know where this fits on the Yawn Scale.


You must not be a fan of opera. The two yawn scale showed displeasure with the composer and the libretto. *Gives self pat on the back for accidentally signing up for an opera course and actually not dropping out*

Read some of the EvEmails sent to James315 to see what we mean

I really dont think there is any excuse for some of the things they say


No there isn't, but lets not pretend that type of player is restricted to miners and ratters either. I've been a part of enough gate camps, roams, POS bashes, etc to have seen some people flip out over losing a ship, even if (and maybe especially if) they're on the winning side. Suddenly its everyone else's fault, the mechanics of the game are broken, there's name calling and threats when things escalate.

Few people understand the psycology of a highway traffic cop. Your average speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.
