Ah that is an ancient format called paragraphs.
Yes. It is a long-lost art. You should try to revive it.

And no, simply putting a line break at the end of a given sentence does not create a paragraph.


Even after copy and paste into another word program adding in the line breaks it still is hard to read. I think it would take a full edit on the punctuation and possibly some grammar editing to make it readable. I wasn't able to make it past the second paragraph due to the writing style.

This. It's not helped by the fact that your post reads like an incoherent rant by someone on the very verge of being sectioned.

Anyway, that aside, your post is rubbish. I'm in a PvP corp, and we all make our own money, buy our own ships, fly around solo or in small gangs together. We don't have an agenda or a goal, we just want to make things go boom. That's literally it. We're not waging an economic war, we're not attempting to prove anything, we just like explosions, even when it's our own ships.

Some people do PvP for the sake of PvP. And some people aren't interested in blowing up carebears, whether they be in high, low or nullsec, some people want to fight people who will fight back. Trust me, it's much more fun winning a fight where you're on the edge of your seat knowing one **** up could cause you to die than it is killing defenceless ships. That's not to say I won't do so if the opportunity arises, I just won't actively hunt for you.

I don't get what it is with the carebear mentality of every PvPer wants to hunt you down and kill you. A lot of actual PvPers don't give a **** about you, or your corporation, or your operations. We don't give a damn if you make the ships we buy or not. If you're in the wrong place you're dead, if you're not then you get ignored. Quit thinking you're important or something; you're just another carebear that I might just happen to cross, and maybe kill. Nothing more.

Oh hey more power to you. If you are playing the game in a way you enjoy. That is what it is all about.

90% of of the time my posts are about something I actually find interesting and want to learn more about. Do not be alarmed.

People who write walls of text usually miss some particular kind of education.

They simply don't care about it, because they don't know better.

The OP like many in HiSec has an over bloated opinion of their own importance and very little idea what it is like in a decent Low or Null sec corp.

Get on with you stagnant HiSec grind if thats all you what from your sub but please refrain from your lectures and half baked social commentary until you have tried the life you comment on.

Welcome to the new age of slavery.

When everyone is actual slave to someone in "power", however non of them accept it or know it, since money are "real"

an entire page of people telling you how to write is proof enough that there is much accuracy in what you say.

To those that come after me: read the OP, its really not difficult and its pretty accurate.

Or some people just don't like commenting on things they haven't actually read. It's also the principle of the thing. If an OP(any, not this one specifically) doesn't care enough to write properly and make the miniscule effort it takes to make things easy for the reader, it's propably not worth reading anyway.

Your second sentence is a fragment. A semi-colon may be more appropriate between it and the third sentence. In your third sentence, you're missing a space between "OP" and (any, ". Your third sentence runs on a bit; see if you can be a bit more succinct. Finally, you misspelled "probably".

Other than that, the content is crap.

Frigging hilarious and a good spin on it. I thought it was well written myself even as a wall of text but then I often wonder how many forum haunts actually read real books anymore these days. I mean its be horrible!!! Page after page of walls of text and *gulp* NO pictures!!! The horror!!

OP got a like from me on that one.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

"If you see a man who bought a mule and carries ten times the turnips you may bear upon your back do you spite him or buy a mule?"

I'd kick him off the mule and steal it.

The one with most ISK in the wallet at the time of biomass wins ... EVE?

I can't say that I ever really looked up to the ideals of the bourgeois. OP is a good illustration of why. There is more to life than counting ISK until you die. And in EVE you can actually afford to take substantial risks since you always have a medical clone somewhere as backup when things go wrong. Now if I only had one IRL ...

Todays' lesson: Don't confuse 'ambition' with 'ability'.

He isn't on the mule, he's next to it.
You have a bag of turnips on your back, whereas he doesn't.
You'll lose the fight, so he'll get your turnips as well.

Eve loosely boils down to 2 viewpoints (and I stress loosely).

Theme park players vs sandbox players. At the moment the large influx of (apparent) theme park players have a hard time grasping the sandbox world. This wouldn't be a problem except that some theme park players would rather change EVE to meet their play style instead of adjusting to EVE's existing play style. The change in play style pisses off current sandbox type players (especially long time veterans) who enjoy the sandbox as it is and would rather see the aforementioned theme park player GTFO and find a new game than try to change this one.

Not sure if that makes any sense but i wanted to rant about it anyways.
