Wait, so if you don't like Riptard, then you don't take an interest in the game?
He is one random guy with one opinion, an opinion which a lot of people tend to disagree with. HE's a fan of making it easy for the easy guys and diluting down the downsides to the point that we have wow is space. How is wanting to keep the parts of EVE that make it a tough game and give it it's unique flavour not taking an interest. I get that you like him, but that doesn;t mean that we all have to, and it certainly doesn't mean his opinions are more valuable or more correct that anyone else's.

Since his most recent claim to fame is abusing his position on the CSM to get rid of a single player he didn't like, his blog going into the trash is no loss to the game. It's just a shame all of his characters aren't following.

But I know right, my opinion differs to yours so I'm just a troll and/or have no interest in EVE.


This 100%


Nah, not even 1% right.

Congrats on the selective quoting in leaving out Prince Kobol's original question and my larger reply. I guess context doesn't matter to you in the slightest. But hey, this is EVE O GD afterall - the home of trolls and blowhards - my bad for thinking it might just be different in this thread vOv

Btw, who the **** are you again and why should I give a damn what a nobody thinks?
Speaking of nobodies, who the hell are you?

I never professed to be anybody.

My bridge is for sale, it's a lovely late 16th Century stone built structure in a desirable location with close mass transit links, I'll even throw in a few goats if you wish to purchase it.

I'd encourage you to try harder, but it may well be beyond your obviously limited capabilities.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Ripard Teg, the playing character behind Jester's Trek, was elected onto CSM 8 on a popular ticket that didn't require block votes. Indeed, his popularity was so high that he achieved the position of Vice Chair. Through Jester's Trek, Ripard kept everyone up to date with the goings on of the CSM on a weekly basis - something that has never been done before (afaik) and set a very high bar for CSM9 members to emulate.

Through Jester's Trek, Ripard intelligently, diligently & thoroughly covered most aspects of life in EVE Online - he covered lots of the meta goings on, Quotes of the Week, Fit of the Week and produce many new player friendly guides. Jester's Trek wasn't just a blog, it was a magazine and reference document all rolled into one. The man was a blogging machine - he had the ability to post quailty content almost on a daily basis. There was even the occaisional sightings of his alter ego, Garth, who liked to comment on some of the more controversial aspects of the game and wasn't afraid to pull any punches. There was always something for everyone and this is why it will be missed.


A lot of what he posted was complete rubbish. Many times he posted about events which was so far removed from the truth it was fantasy.

As for the rest, none of it effects anything that happens in game. Nothing in Eve as we know will change. Nobodies play style will change due him no longer blogging. No Alliances will fall, nobody will leave, subs will not dramatically fall, the world will not end.

Everything will go as normal.

Far more influential players have completely left the game and you know what changed.. nothing. Eve went on as normal. So please spare me the dramatics that some guy who has stopped his blog is a terrible event and we will all be worse off.

There are many who have contributed and whose actions have more effect on Eve then Ripard could ever dream of doing.

As for his term on the CSM, he even admits that his Blog was created in order to get him elected. Now he has been there and done that his blog no longer serves any purpose.

He is no longer relevant. (If he ever was to begin with)

I responded to the relevant part. Your larger reply was no different. It's clear that in your opinion, Ripard Teg is someone that demands respect and lack of respect for him is in some way indicative of us disliking EVE. Let's face it, you are just upset because you think "Ripard is not 'some random guy'", but the fact of the matter is that he is precisely that. He's just some random guy. His opinion isn't elevated above all others just because you agree with him. I happen to think his carebear hugging desire to convert EVE into space WoW is hugely damaging to the game I've played for years, and his utterly disgraceful abuse of his position as a CSM member for his own personal vendetta strips him of any and all respect he has accrued.

LOL, yes, I'm a nobody, but you aren't, right? And Ripard isn't either? Who decides who is and isn't a nobody? Who decides who's opinion is and isn't relevant? Opinions differ mate, so grow the **** up. If you can't handle the fact that Ripard isn't going to be globally accepted as a god just because you'd like to give him a reacharound, the exit is over there ->.

EVE is in no danger to change its course, frankly. CCP is already doing the right thing (in their view) and it's a matter of life or death to them, so there is no way they will change it.

Of course, I think that they're wrong and should do otherwise, but that just puts me in a large club of armchair game designers...

Whatever the future brings, I will be missing Jester's Trek and Ripard Teg's voice on it.


While I disagree with much you apparently believe (I won't be missing that Ripard guy at all), at least you have the sense to admit some very pertinent things that most other people would have lied about.

Like how EVE is business to CCP (a business they have preserved for for longer than very many others in the same business) and about how you are not a game designer (many many others, including Ripard, do act like they think they know how to design a game).

Your sig needs adaption. It makes every legitimate coward look like a winner too.

Can't be serious about this.

I guess I used the word in a wrong way.

Your sig puts the cowards into the same bucket as the smart ones.
Not everyone who doesn't fight is a winner,
unless you consider cowards and bigmouths as winners too.

The bigger picture. See it. Even if it somehow seems smart not to fight,
in the end everybody around knows the person is just a coward.

Not trying is worse than trying and losing.

Lack of spine and dignity doesn't make people winners.

Trying though, does, in the long run.

(1) As the sig says, knowing when not to put your hand in a blender is a sign of smarts

(2) My sig doesn't say "everyone who doesn't fight is a winner", it says that knowing when to fight and when not to makes you a winner

(3) I dont consider cowards and bigmouths to be the same thing or even remotely related

Good catch, fixed.
And no, Baiting the Roleplayers is a long standing and honorable pastime.
The aim is to get one to break character.

And the quote in Ramona's Sig is about knowing the engagement envelope of your ship/fit, you might be mis interpreting it.

When a Jester Goes A-Wooing

Take a look at the title of Jester's final blogpost. No, I'll save you the trouble; 'No tank lasts forever'.

Trite, pompous, and sort of...weak? The last rattle, reluctantly cranked from a decidedly worn-out word-engine.

How about this cut, from a few lines further down? '..if enough people want your ship dead, it will die, and all the reps in the world won't help'.

Get it? Sure we do Jester!


When a blogger goes a-blogging about Eve Online, he needs to don his armour and sharpen his sword (thick skin, pen – got it?).

Jester brazenly claims 'I've become something of a symbol', and then complains that, 'the people trying to kill the message have been trying to kill the messenger', without realising that if you are closely identified with a message, nay, you champion it, (Jesus, et al) – you are very likely to become a personal target. Must say, I've not heard of anyone advocating killing Jester though; a slip of the pooped-out pen, no doubt.

Here's another gem; 'I know some of you don't like me'. This is taken from the paragraph in which Jester thanks and shouts out to devs, community members and CCP folks. It's unclear from which group come those who don't like him. Perhaps from each of them. But just read that phrase over to yourselves. 'I know some of you don't like me'..

Not a shred of tank left. Also...

Jester overheated his guns for just too long and, well.... Get it?
