Join my corp!

Such was the demand on twitter. I actually leaned back and blinked a bit.

Really? Wow. What a nice feeling. Sure, it was from a delusional person that liked me and forgot what a ninny I am. Also, my utter disconnect with my previous skills. It was still a nice feeling. And, without the CSM thing hanging over me again, I rediscovered what it is like to be sure an offer was about myself.

I do hate that suspicion that I developed. It made me shy away from any type of title in the final dredges of the CSM. That point where I walked away from Sniff, sent Sugar off to a little edge system and gave up undocking or playing. I curled up in my chain and sighed. How was I to tell who wanted me and who wanted the title? I'd had many, many offers that started with, "Come join corp X, we want a CSM in our corp." It was quite a sucky time and left me isolated when I had the most attention.

To channel Elsa again:

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation,
and it looks like I'm the Queen."

Unfortunately, such situations leave scars. If you don't work scar tissue, it becomes stiff and painful. Such is much of the Sugar Kyle bit of me. 

One of my biggest problems with joining a corp is that I cannot shut up. The behavior of my corpmates matters. I'm unable to fall very far off of my moral high horse. 

So why don't I go to Eve Uni and Signal Cartel?

Rules. Oh rules. So useful. So important. They drive me bonkers. You see, I am a rule follower. If I went to them I'd have to do what they say. But I don't want to, so I don't. I love Mynxee and I'd looovveee to go to Signal but the credo... I'm don't want to follow it. But even as I type that I wonder if I don't or if I'm just allowing my own stubbornness to control me. I don't want to PvP ether. Of course war decs make other ventures hard.

Hmm.

Time to end the post early and think.

  1. It sounds like you might need to start your own corp, for which you can set the moral standards. I'm sure there are sufficient people that would appreciate an honourable place to live that you'd have enough minions to command. =)

  2. You would be welcome in Signal Cartel any time. The Credo adds a layer of complexity to EVE Online, true enough -- but it also enables one of the game's best communities to flourish. I know there is no place I'd rather be!

  3. Can you not alt in some of them, follow the rules with THAT situation and fly another toon when not in the mood for restrictions?

  4. If your concerned about wardecs just stay NPC forever.

    Otherwise personal corps with few members, which don't hang out in trade or mission hubs all day - and who don't make annoying comments in local drawing attention, don't get many wardecs.

    Both NRDS and NBSI groups have "rules." (NPSI only exists during the fleet, following the FC's "rules," after its over you're back where you came from.) Many groups would welcome you on their ops, even if "NPC" corp, if you had a mind to join them on that day.

    1. I am not concerned about war decs. I simply find them annoying. If I want to do something like the epic arcs on Sugar for instance, a war dec is annoying and a permadeced corp is even more so. High sec is a part of Eve I don't really know.

      I know everyone has rules. I don't mind rules. However, I pour a lot of myself into my corp. Maybe to much. At the same time, my personality is annoyed by being told I cannot do things. I don't even want to do them. I just don't want to be told that I cannot. This does not extend into a useless tangent about how society doesn't allow me to murder or steal from people. In Eve, being told I cannot do valid game play isn't something that I enjoy.

  5. Well of course, the door is always open here to you but I understand perfectly if you fear it might not be a fit. Sometimes it's hard to land in just the right spot in EVE. You certainly could check us out on an alt and decide about Sugar later. I don't even need to know who it is :)

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
