The pewpew

To my amusement, thanks to my POS whoring I bounced up second on the killboard with almost a hundred kills for the month. I will be the first to announce/admit that 69 of the 97 currently listed of those are POS related.

Beyond that, we haven't been doing to badly. I shipped up into the hurricane finally. Only to find out that I couldn't fit some random things. I spazed a bit and realized that I couldn't fit my T2 neuts. A day and a half of training and that was corrected. Then I needed my ewar drones. Well I needed drones 5 to use the drones. What I didn't realize was that I needed Electronic Warefare 4 to inject the skillbook. Ahhh, thing after thing after thing after thing. This is why people get intimidated by Eve's skill program.

The pewpew went very well over the weekend.

We started with a little gatecamp in null. This was different then one in low sec because we can have someone with the mobile bubble. This puts me on the side of using the bubble to pewpew people. They are helpless and their pods are trapped when they land in them. I can't say I enjoy using bubbles because I don't. However, its a valid and highly used game mechanism and one I need to get over my personal distaste for.

Eve often challanges the views of honor and such that we are taught to function in society by removing them from our gameplay and handing us tools to use. Do you play the game or play by your personal moral code that you use for real living? It is part of the learning curve of the game in its own way.

I had more thoughts but I was side tracked by someone posting a bounty on me. It is only for 5k but I'm so amused I can't finish the rest of the thoughts that I had.

Maybe one day!

 [15:32:10] Trig Vaulter > Sugar Kyle Nice bio - so carebear sweet - oh you have a 50m ISK bounty - so someday more grizzly  [15:32:38 ] Sugar Kyle > /emote raises an eyebrow to Trig  [15:32:40 ] Sugar Kyle > okay :)  [15:32:52 ] Sugar Kyle > maybe one day I will try PvP out When I logged in one of the first things I did was answer a question in Eve Uni Public Help. It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their ...

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to...

Conflicted

Halycon said it quite well in a comment he left about the skill point trading proposal for skill point changes. He is conflicted in many different ways. So am I. Somedays, I don't want to be open minded. I do not want to see other points of view. I want to not like things and not feel good about them and it be okay. That is something that is denied me for now. I've stated my opinion about the first round of proposals to trade skills. I don't like them. That isn't good enough. I have to answer why. Others do not like it as well. I cannot escape over to their side and be unhappy with them. I am dragged away and challenged about my distaste.  Some of the people I like most think the change is good. Other's think it has little meaning. They want to know why I don't like it. When this was proposed at the CSM summit, I swiveled my chair and asked if they realized that they were undoing the basic structure that characters and game progression worked under. They said th...
