Your Skill Queue is Empty

It has been years since I heard Aura's voice. In fact, I'm rather sure it has changed since my first log in six years ago. But that original voice, I loved it. For those first few months, "Skill training complete," was a rush of pleasure.

I long ago turned off my volume for voice coms. Then I turned off my volume for chats with people. Now, my volume is rarely on. Yet, clear as day I could hear her little, cold and scornful notice that my skill queue was empty.

It has been a long time since that happened. I felt a bit bad. Neglectful, really. Skill queues were such an important part of my time in game. The months, weeks, days, and finally minutes until you could explode from the dock in a new fit... ahh I can still feel the adrenaline from it. I know it has changed but it is a fond memory.

While my future in Eve is still undefined, I find the launchers icon sits on my screen. I purged a lot of Eve from my day to day life. The launcher being there makes me think sometimes. Where am I now in things?

Also, I had someone reading through my blog and leaving comments. It brings me a warm happiness that somewhere in these thousands of posts, people find some amusement. Yet, when I write, I never thought that this would be one of the blogs gone quiet. Maybe because I was so loud in this little room.

I'm not totally done. Sugar's queue was topped back up.

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

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
