Between the Strip and Spaceships

I smell like cigarette smoke and I'm rather tired, but I guess the Pub Crawl thing was successful. I spent my time people watching and hanging out with those that I know. I did meet the creator of Eve Skunk and someone from Eve Radio but mostly I watched people and talked to my little pirate pocket.

At some point Ender decided that he wanted a group picture and texted me to say so. I told him no. Thus we went back and forth about it and he attempted to anoint Lue as his hand to accomplish the task. It didn't happen. I did take pictures however. Pictures of the Eve Blob that wandered through the casinos. I can say that there was a definite lack of basements and neckbeards. The geek shone strongly with everyone but nothing major.

I had sat with Hong while he had dinner and tagged who was an Eve Player as they headed to the meet. It was fun seeing that for the most part, we were right each time. I had had a terrible, terrible piece of pizza earlier and was still suffering from it. Razor wandered in and then so did Diz. Thusly, Diz and Razor finally got to meet and we all meandered over to the meet and greet having absorbed Hong.

There was about 60ish people to start. -A- I think it was, was having their own meet and greet at the same time. The turn out was good. We sat a bit to the side and watched people stiffly start to mingle. There were spouses who looked utterly board. However, things had started to relax and the massive Eve Blob worked its way to the second stop. Once there, after a bit, things mingled better. I just watched. As social as I can be, throwing myself into a group of strangers has never been my thing. I had the people who were interested in my presence with me so watching others interact was my occupation.

I took random pictures of people. Maybe they can identify themselves. When we moved tot eh Flamingo, Lue called Diz to tell him that he had arrived so Diz went to find him. The group moved around the Flamingo (with lots of getting lost on the way, LOTS of getting lost) and then bailed when the band started to play. I'm not one for live music and the sheer volume was ridiculousness. We caught up with Diz and Lue and meandered over to Ceaser's Palace. I haven't been there so it was interesting. The group had really dwindled in size by then and we kind of fragmented off and stood around talking for a while.

Tired of the cigarette smoke and waves of people wandering around I asked if we could go. Our little group wandered off and found a quiet spot outside to sit and chat. The weather has been amazing. The dryness is a nice change. We chatted about Eve for a while until mostly tired (except for Diz and Lue) we decided to break up and head our separate ways. The chatting was good. The knowing of each other reconnected more and the group relaxed with each other.

So, I didn't really meet anyone or have anything overly amazing to relay. I watched people get progressively more intoxicated as the night wore on. I think I've figured out were our conference information will be listed but I'm still up in the air about it. From reading the tweets we lost the group in Ceaser's because they went to some club. It does not bother me much. Places having drink minimums and such are rather irritating for a nondrinker.

I think only Hong is going to the actual Conference part with me. What everyone else is going to do with their day, I don't know.

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
