It's important to tell people over and over how much you don't care about them, any less attention and people would confuse it with caring about them, see?

Mittani sat in that slack asking "when did you stop beating your wife see this secret change to the whitepaper" was a bit awkward.
I can't see what he's trying to achieve because he's about the only person who cares.

Interesting question. Some people just can't stop the hurfing and blurfing here about a game they haven't been involved with for an eternity without any regard to their personal time. Why shouldn't the others who are actually involved with the game sign themselves up for a game related slack?

So ncdot just killed one of their own titans. Some HiFi (ex-kadeshi) guy was red-flagged for non-pvp participation because he only flies logi. He made a buttmad post on ncdot forums and was roundly mocked.

This made him upset that his spacebros would treat him this way and he may or may not have mental or depression issues. I guess they tried to talk him down but he was determined to suicide his titan into LSH so they killed him.

Yes they utilize the same advanced participation metrics as PL = x amount of killmails per month or get out.

Well, a terrible pubbie is responsible for the Bastion modules for Marauders- what's the worst that could happen?

Wait- we know what that is- they get hired by CCP and we get to experience a newly defined variant of 'balanced'.

Well the problem in this case was: the dude was a pr0 logi pilot who joined mad pvp fleets but he either didnt fit a whoregun or get on enough mails. The system failed, he got earmarked for purging then he lost his poo poo and his titan.

To be fair, NC. is full of incompetents that don't really have any real 'enjoyment' from playing the game except to circlejerk about how loving awesome they are- in a nutshell it's just one group of idiots patting each other on the back about how much better they are than anyone else inside their own little safe space- besides, if you can just kick anyone out that points out that you're just as poo poo at EVE as just about everyone else in the goddamn game, nobody can rain on their parade.

I'd say that the leadership in smaller alliances (if your fleets never break 100 pilots on average, congratulations, this is you) should have a pretty decent understanding of who regularly volunteers to play space priest, stock doctrine ships/ammo/boosters, or do any of the other mind numbingly poo poo tasks keeping an alliance running entails; but thankfully- we have NC. to consistently point out how not to run an alliance, treat it's members, handle money moons or fly alliance tournament ships.

I'm good at EVE but I operate with the understanding that literally nothing matters any longer. You can kill 25 Supers in an evening and it makes no difference, everyone has enough liquid isk to replace it easily. I've become one of those :effort: players that just no longer cares about in game actions, it's honestly more fun to troll players. Unfortunately most of the EVE community is pretty seasoned now so scamming and trolling has become less viable.

The people who put a shitload of effort into EVE these days really really confuse the hell out of me. I question whether or not they're sane or just suffering from autism.

Mostly the people who will disagree here don't see their alliance as "a PVP alliance" but rather their alliance no matter what they want to do. If we want to go on fleets 12 hours a day for 6 months, then mine for 6 months we can, we don't have some shitlord saying we aren't playing the game right during period 2.
