With the WAG (wives and girlfriends) group, it was possible to spot them a long way off but most were still approachable and were happy to chat about various stuff besides EVE. Some knew who their spouse/partner flew for and I had spoken to them before and knew who they were talking about.<br /><br />As for breaking the ice with other players, it had already been done, we all play the same game and had our tags written up and hanging around our necks, I went up to most and asked "who am I talking to?" while looking at their tag, they responded with a good handshake and the we go from there.Mr Marramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703040186319291826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-9274307371176720902013-10-27T06:04:15.402-04:002013-10-27T06:04:15.402-04:00I was the Tusker you talked to in the lift up to t...I was the Tusker you talked to in the lift up to the stratosphere.<br /><br />The joke about Narou being a spai is a general one on our forums with most ex-Tuskers, they still have forum access because we have no 'super sekrit ops' to hide and the Tusker family is mostly for life.Mr Marramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703040186319291826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-24573802150769470932013-10-26T18:32:38.854-04:002013-10-26T18:32:38.854-04:00I was one of the Tuskers in the elevator.

Maybe it's just me, but I found it a lot scarier to try to chat up some singleton who was hanging out than to try to insinuate myself into a relatively developed conversation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-59378854527585712552013-10-21T08:05:27.376-04:002013-10-21T08:05:27.376-04:00Not sure what the fuss is about mitten, ya he has...Not sure what the fuss is about mitten, ya he has a nice website and all but I would have been a lot more excited to meet you!

Both null and wormholes take fairly seriously commitments to EVE, lowsec less so, perhaps but still more so then high-sec. <br />People that take their EVE quite seriously are also the group that is likely to show up at player events I'd reckon. Though I'm sure there's a portion of the high-sec community that is fairly hardcore too. <br />It probably also matters that pre-existing EVE group bonds take away some of the social barriers in travelling to fan meetups by yourself since there will be people there you know at least from voice comms etc.Kaeda Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954843678698092456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-42427714552234326312013-10-20T12:50:02.290-04:002013-10-20T12:50:02.290-04:00So... lets call Lo 8% + Negsec 7% + Nullfun 20% = ...So... lets call Lo 8% + Negsec 7% + Nullfun 20% = 35% leaving 65% of the player accounts in EvE living primarily in Hisec... (missed Marc's post, thanx)... So at RW gatherings is it just that nullseccers are more 'clannish' and tend to do things together, in RL as it is in EvE, combined with the more solo-small group playstyle of Hisec players? Or is it in part that a vast number of Hisec toons are just, as has been proposed, Null alts?<br /><br />Thoughts? Discusson?

Hell just a rough but accurate % of players in Hi/Lo/Null/Negsec... Everytime I read a post about a meetup (by people I am interested in such as you, Mab, Stabs etc.) it seems they are swarmed by Nullseccers. With the generally accepted figure of 90+% of eve players live in Hisec, is it just that Nullseccers are more gregarious? and non-nullsec players are less? You are there, Mab (though SYJ has recently forayed into NPC Null) is there... so what gives with the general feeling in posts such as these that non null players are not really a part of the Meetup scene?TurAmarthhttp://turamarths-evelife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-35044781158061833382013-10-19T10:26:53.629-04:002013-10-19T10:26:53.629-04:00Oh it was not a bad time.

I just don't think it is the right type of event for me?<br /><br />My husband just told me that normally people go to that type of thing knowing people or having at least one other person instead of walking in cold. Not being one to go out or do such things I didn't/don't know the quite of 'going out for the night'. I decided to give it a try instead of just assuming it isn't my thing as it normally is.<br /><br />I met/talked to more people than I have combined at fanfest and eve vegas last year which is a major improvement. For those a bit more used to going out socially I think it is a fantastic time. I'm glad I went. It was an interesting and different experience.<br /><br />We are going to Penn and Teller on Sunday.

I had something similar at an EVE meetup in DC. People around me were super nice and were talking about the amazing things they do in nullsec. I recognized none of their names or coalitions (if it isn't goon or russian, what is it doing in null?). When they found out that I live in a WH, they were very kind and found someone in the group who has an alt in a hole so I have someone I could talk to :) <br /><br />I think thats t he great part about EVE - we think we play the same game but we are not. Meet 10 people and it seems like they are in very different games. <br /><br />Hope the rest of your Vegas stay gets better. Is Zumanity still on? Thats a great show... Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
