Eve Offline

I play Eve offline as well.

This morning, my phone went off to drag me into the land of getting up to early.  While I lay, tangled in blankets and unsure if employment was worth the effort of waking up, I also checked my phone since it was in my hand from turning off the alarms.

I had someone saying good morning because they know my work schedule and live in the UK and are up.  I had someone else that left question about a discussion from last night.  I use gtalk.  No need to not put these  nice phones to use, eh?    I had a new twitter follower (yay!) and I read CCP Falcon comment about the downtime starting early and cursed a bit because I had forgotten that it would consume my prework playing time.

Mornings are my time to catch up on little idle things, see how the boys did over night and have quick social time with my central and west coast time zone corpmates.  I have some hot and heavy business deals going down to acquire new blue prints while I am at work.  The patch days are too often days that I am working.  Woe is me.

From my following Twitter arguments at work and forum reading to when Ender sent me a text to get my POS password for something.  Most of my corp has my phone number and I theirs.  Disconnects cause a flurry of texts to scatter back and forth so that the fleet knows why I lost connection.

The EveGate client is terrible on a cellphone.  Yet I still use it when I need to.  And soon there will be online/offline chat integration.  I fear for those that know me. 

This will work quite well because Eve doesn't stop when you log off.  The lack of a static world causes this constant connectivity.  Its a choice and one I chose to make.  I happen to like most of the people that I interact with on a regular basis and I enjoy talking to them just to talk to them.  Eve is the best chat client ever In My Opinion.

See everyone on the other side of Retribution.

Maybe one day!

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
