News Day

News is everywhere today. Ship changes. Dust. Fanfest planning.  Player gatherings.  Yet, it is always a bit different in each place.  Reading a dozen different opinions can make for an interesting complete picture once it is all twined together into a larger tapestry. 

"So I now have permission to let you all know that the skill change is scheduled for our Summer expansion 2013 (which most of you know tends to fall in the late spring)."
Last year, the patch was mid May.  The last calculation I saw was that it would take 40 days for the training to be complete by patch day from scratch (with remap I think).  Personally, I would want to be prepared by start of May.  However, we should have our summer patch date before then.

I have seen the changes referred to as a New Player Tax.  I disagreed with it and still do, however I can see where a person could get that feeling.  Of course, the proposed battlecruiser change has tinged me with a bit of bitterness towards the entire situation.  But, I'm reminding myself that nothing is set in stone and to get over myself and the fact that life will change.

Beyond that, the Dust 514 merger has gone well it seems.  An emergency reboot was planned for Eve and then cancelled.  The Dust players were notified to reboot their PS3s.  I am going to have to figure out how to turn on the television and PS3 and download and play it.  One of my chat rooms had a few players playing Dust and Eve at the same time.  It was very interesting.  Perhaps, tomorrow's project.  I'm terrible at First Person Shooters.

As part of my "things I finally remembered to sit down and do" I submitted the blog as a Fansite.  I'm reasonably sure that it qualifies as such.  With my starting another fiction project I figured that now was perhaps the time to go public with my obsession.  Now I get to wait for the review.

I also got a little banner award for placing in the fiction writing contest.  I'm going to go and stick it on the Eve fiction page I created.

  1. Do you have a link for the fiction? I'd enjoy reading it. Maybe I'm blind but I can't find it! Thank you.

    1. I had not noticed that it became buried on the side bar. I will correct that and give it a more visual place.

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
