What is Eve

War is on the horizon and I don't know how I feel about it.

I came to Eve because it is not a nice game. I know that people fight and wardec and do their thing but I really like the lifestyle of just roaming around and killing shit. However, that is not going to continue to be my life. Now, I have the choice of leaving my corp and roaming on my own but that is not what I want to do. So, I have to ponder the entire war thing. I think, for me, war, feels like such a strong term. I don't really have any strong feelings against other corps to feel the need to go after them. Like wise, while I expect people to want to harm me, it seems more serious and focused when you put that shiny red star beside their name.

The entire situation left me very grumpy yesterday. Grumpy enough that I lost my temper a bit at someone playing stupid ass gate games. Normally I'm super cool and relaxed, but I happen to hate some things in Eve I am finding out. One of those is people who wish to fight in an area with a particular type of game mechanic (IE Gate and Station guns) and then is unwilling to deal with them.

Plus, I was pissy in general over having my cheerios pissed in.

I normally play super nice in game. Sweet, easy going, "hi!" to everyone. Not today. The guy was playing gate games where he was trying to lure us into the gateguns and then hop into high sec. I assume he was hoping the guns would wear us down enough for him to get easy kills. For some reason, this type of thing pisses me off. He was in a battlecruiser and we were in cruisers and frigates. Just take the guns. Bitching out into high sec when a bunch of flashy pirates are willing to engage you and playing games like that just drive me mad. Engage or don't. I run away like hell quite often. I had a guy chase me in my myrm in his myrm. I knew I wasn't in a state to fight and I chose to run and avoid. I'm not saying you have to throw yourself into a stupid situation, but don't sit there teasing.

I understand hoping the other people make mistakes. However, this was a good 5 or so jumps back into high sec he did while we took guns. Then, bored, we leave and he tries to chase one member down. He dies to that member and I rage out all over him. He still didn't take guns btw. A thorax took guns over a freaking battlecruiser.

I was good at first. We put a little corp fleet of frigs together and went to get ourselves blown up. I am trying to join in on these things to relax some. I don't find being blown up fun yet but that's because I'm not grounded in the game yet. But, I go out anyway because really, why not. I'm so uptight about things and I learn a lot on these ventures. I also am trying to throw myself into more fleets but I do get distracted by making isk, especially when I don't have a lot of time on my hands for the day.

I'm rather grumpy it seems. :)

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 bio

Memoirs - Part Seven: The Taste of Scandal

Virtual Realities: Memoirs of an internet spaceship politician by Sugar Kyle CSM9, CSMX Viewers get some drama Is there any election that is scandal free? Virtual space politics are not excluded. Sometimes the scandals come from the people ruining. Sometimes they come from outside of that. “I can’t wait to enjoy the drama!” someone had said to me about the election. Those words would haunt me later as I fought not to be caught up and defined by the decisions another person had made. While I played the game and tried to convince people of my worthiness a dark drama was sweeping across the game. The CSM does not dictate game policy. CCP does that. It does not stop many from seeing the members as vocal representatives. It was a public post made by one member of the CSM that started a fire that would take years to go out. Eve Online is an interactive video game with few social rules. It is one of the games charmes. If you can trick another player into making a po

And back again

My very slow wormhole adventure continues almost as slowly as I am terminating my island in Animal Crossing.  My class 3 wormhole was not where I wanted to be. I was looking for a class 1 or 2 wormhole. I dropped my probes and with much less confusion scanned another wormhole. I remembered to dscan and collect my probes as I warped to the wormhole. I even remembered to drop a bookmark, wormholes being such good bookmark locations later. My wormhole told me it was a route into low sec. I tilted my head. How circular do our adventures go. Today might be the day to die and that too is okay. That mantra dances in the back of my head these days. Even if someone mocks me, what does that matter? Fattening someone's killboard is their issue not mine. So I jumped through and found myself in Efa in Khanid, tucked on the edge of high sec and null sec. What an interesting little system.  Several connections to high sec. A connection to null sec. This must be quite the traffic system.    I am f
