Odd, the closest I have gotten interacting with other eve human players was something like this:

Me"Yeah I like MMO's, specially EVE Online" in a party
Random stranger at party: "Eve Online, how many SP's you have?"
Me: "over 80mill (was a while ago)"
RSP: " ..."

Never saw him again What?

I also met once a guy in RL that told me he played EVE Online, I told him I played EVE too ... never saw him again either ...

Meh, NO ONE PLAYS EVE ONLINE ... it's all an Illusion!!!!!

My wife laughs every time she enters the computer room to see me dual boxing while studying dozens of laminated Eve maps lying all over the floor.

I am a real person who plays Eve. My wife is abnormal.

Never make eye contact with someone while eating a banana.

IRL I don't play EVE. Never heard of it.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Only person I can think of who I talk to about EVE is my boyfriend.

He tried it, and hated it because he had no idea what to do (and whatever you want was not the right answer). So now, when I'm angry with him, I only talk about whats the latest with EVE.

I am a real person who plays EVE...
I think, therefore I am, not a bot...

And I have a fiance who understands that I play EVE when she talks about the wedding... and then feigns sympathy when I go AFK to talk to her and come back to a floating pod or a strange station...

I must admit its hilarious when I go flying in to the computer room on hearing my 75% shield warning, dropping whatever I'm doing...

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

My wife is very supportive of my EVE habits but her eyes will glaze like a stoner in .3 seconds when I start talking about it. The second were around people I might be interested in talking to, she brings up my EVE podcast. Seriously?!? She uses EVE to shame me in public.

I've met two people in my life who have played EvE, one is my brother, and the other a friend of mine who tried it out once before. My friend moved away a few days after I found out he played EvE. Shocked

Laminated Eve maps? Map of what? What does that even mean? :)

You forgot to add that you met somebody in eve who pretends to play real life.

Oh man, I know the feeling, that's why I don't talk to anyone in my business about Eve, so it can never be used against me.

If Frak drank beer,

"Would you be like OMG wtf, you're only elevator maintenance. How could you?"

Isn't eve like 20 USD per month, or 6-10 beeer bottles?

Omg, Frank, you smoke! You, you gas station fill up guy! You're nothing compared to me, you supposedly don't have 5 bucks for a smoke.

I am the only person who even plays Eve since as a Solipsist all of you are just figments of my imagination.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

For me, it's the dash into the computer room when I hear the shield low alarm.

Then the dash into the kitchen when I hear the smoke alarm.

There's a club of people who play or have played EVE at my school.

My father is also playing this game, but as of typing this I am suffering a huge amount of deja vu so it's not real.

I've found that there's a large amount of people who discuss their adventures in games like WoW more so than in a game like EvE. I know a few people in real life who play EvE, but what will really shock me is if I find a Planetside player one day Shocked.

I wouldn't openly admit that I play MMO's. I'm already regarded as a geek because I read Sci-Fi and fix/build computers for living. If I added something else into the mix, my family will disown me and my friends will abandon me. My GF doesn't mind, but she's an accountant......Roll

No, there is not such thing as real person.

You all are just projection/imagination of what i see, i decide who you are, what you are, and in some cases how you look/ depend on drug used. I alone see what you are, and create an reality i perceive.

So no there are no real people in EVE. You are all just imaginations.

side-note : such choice however is not fully controllable / But i am close.

What are the odds I would end up playing EVE?

Frank is 37 years old, white, male, with a disposable income, a potentially fictional "picture of wife", and a job fixing elevators.

Today I met Frank, we talked about "free time", and I mentioned I play EVE, and his next question was:

"High-Sec or Null-Sec?"

STOP!!!... WAIT... MY BRAIN HAS EXPLODED.

One of the following errors has occurred:


  • I met a person in real life who plays EVE.
  • I met a person in real life who pretends to play EVE.
  • I met a person in real life who plays EVE, and pretends to fix elevators.
  • I met a person in real life who pretends to play EVE, and pretends to fix elevators.
  • I did not meet a person in real life, instead I suffered a temporary stroke and imagined the conversation.
  • I did not meet a person in real life, instead I suffered a longer term stroke and imagined the conversation, this post.
  • I did not meet a person in real life, instead in coma, imagined the conversation, this post, and my entire life.
  • I am a "brain in a vat".





The way I see it any of the options are equally plausible.
