Catching Up

Niagara is a very lovely place to visit. A lot of water falling into more water. I don't see it as a yearly visit but it is nice to check it off of my list.

Driving back from vacation has given me time to start catching up to what happened while I was away. Eve has a terrible habit of not stopping just because one happens to log off.

It seems as if my boys were productive. They killed things and were killed. It seems that they bit at Procurer bait and it went sideways and upside down after that. I haven't picked up the details but from the amount of trolling and harassment of each other they are quite amused. Then, the group that set the trap recorded it and wishes to announce that we are terrible and they are awesome. So shall it be forever. Also several new apps are in or accepted. New members are healthy for the corp. Hopefully they don't mind that we are so terrible.

3D won a Ragnarok on Blink's celebration. I'm sure he is peeing himself he is so excited. It means no more PvE for him. a true Eve PvPer dream come true. He doesn't have a taste for blinged out battleships and T3s so I suspect he will be fat and happy of the wallet for a long time to come.

Ueber won one of the all dockable ship sets. No surprise there. I think he was going for a Titan but somehow I hope he will survive.

This is the second time I have had a short away from game break. I do not overly enjoy them. I do enjoy playing Eve. I don't return with some new realization reached where I throw down the chains of game play and run off to start hiking. The biggest thing it does is given me a break from the negatives while making me miss the positives.

For instance. I have given up a forum I was reading because the over all tone of negativity, bitterness, and arrogance has worn on me. I finally said screw it and closed its tab and deleted the bookmark. I edited my twitter list as well. I don't believe in closing myself off from information and opinions that are different from my own. Some of those just don't give enough of a return for absorbing their negatives and when I find myself wondering why I am reading them it is time to stop.

It has also broken me out of a gloomy cycle I was in, I believe. Taking time off is one thing but getting out of the house is another. My next stop will be Eve Vegas in October. But for that, I get to take the blog along on the ride.

    We've taken the kids up to Niagra in late October for the last 3 years. There is a massive indoor waterpart right downtown on top of a big parking garage. The boys love it - because of the time of the year we go, there aren't crowds at all, so the boys get to try everything repeatedly, with minimal (or no) waiting.

    Besides, I love a place where I can get served beer and nachos without wearing a shirt or shoes while overlooking my kids having a blast.

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 bio

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 log

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
