I mean I think anyone who knew me well enough to think anything but "that annoying 16 year old" immediately had an idea what was up. Reddit certainly bought the poo poo out of it (and someone stole my Internet popularity points which is bullshit).

I got 3 from old friends who just asked me what's up and letting me know they got a couch to crash on if I need it (I think they all kinda had an idea but also weren't going to ruin it). Shout out to DHD, Foehammer (reminding me of your vouch offer :D), and SUAS for still being bros.

The only blatant recruitment attempt, to no one's surprise, was CAP TO VILY.

Well the default, and honestly most efficient answer is market trading, but I think spreadsheets are boring as poo poo.
FW missions and Level 5's aren't hard, but they take a bit of setup, standings, and/or isk to get going.
Hauling is pretty easy work and you can make more isk than people expect (I made 3bil in a week) with just a few alt+tab clicks every now and then.
Reactions, in theory, can make a lot of isk, but if you're not willing to make a few nice spreadsheets and do some hauling, you'll never do anything but break even on it.

Get a job and buy isk lol.

The laziest way at the moment is probably SP farming: make or buy a bunch of 5m SP characters, dock 'em in Jita, get them all training some very long skill, and periodically harvest and sell their braingoo. Infinitely scalable, zero effort beyond logging in once every two weeks to push butan.

Edit: I mean, that pretty clearly sounds like an expectation that a lot of CO2 members will feel like they've been put upon and want to stay in the Imperium. Alternately, and I've been out of the loop for ages, it's standard hurfing / blurfing of "The members of the traitor alliance aren't happy with their leadership" regardless of whether the assertion that there's dissent in CO2 is true of false?

Looks like they lost 10% of their members, that's definitely not insignificant

Rhymenoserous posted:

Yeah I'm going to be that guy that speaks dissent at this moment. But the primary movers in Co2 have always had a culture unto themselves, the two most likely alliances to break that would keep their memberships fairly intact are them and init. The expectation that they'd shatter like most CFC alliances when leadership made the break was simply unrealistic.

This is unlike lawn/sma/bastion etc who's culture can basically summed up by one of those catfish you buy for your fishtank, all they do is suck garbage off the walls all day.

This was true perhaps when you last played a bunch but lawn and bastn have both turned into pretty competent groups over the last year or so.

Sion said that Reddit echo chambers don't represent the whole Eve community. The war was as irrelevant as any territorial war in Eve, but was certainly the largest event going on at the time: it was basically the CFC's civil war. The six-figure thing is simple: the author has a good job. This was apparently hard for some people to understand.

This was frankly the one part of the Kickstarter that I didn't really buy. Most people, when pursuing their dream (writing career) and doing something like the fountain book would just suck it up and do it for something less than a full replacement of their office job salary.

Siets posted:

Not gonna lie, I think something like this would be incredibly fun, but that's also because I'm a rich enough player where the loss of SRP wouldn't hit me nearly as hard. The reality of the current moon money meta (as I understand it from my limited perspective at least) is that for goons to enjoy the generous SRP and other perks that we currently provide, we do need to keep hold on what we've got.

Goons living in Thera or Delve would be pretty cool to me though.

Actually if we didn't have as much sov / jump bridges to maintain we could maintain srp with far less central income. Right now a significant chunk of the budget goes to paying sov bills

I suppose there are people who do this, but I didn't understand why people assumed the author should do this. Don't get me wrong: TMC did a lousy job selling the business case. Many detractors, though, just demonstrated a very basic misunderstanding of why most people work (spoiler: it's for :10bux:).

I have a family member who worked a similarly well paying job but also wrote novels, etc. and yeah they didn't take time off their main job to do it despite some of the writing projects paying just as much as their real job. That said, I can't blame the dude for wanting to get a year paid for to dedicate solely to writing the novel. It was just poorly laid out from the get go and how people didn't see it and thing otherwise before hitting the "launch kickstarter" button is beyond me.

Because PL ever lived or did anything in the Drone regions (except a few people who got kicked for inactivity because Ratting > Murdering Nerds)?

The last thing anyone in PL wants is to build an Ivory tower somewhere, then re-branding their image and ratting until the servers go offline- that's a behavior exclusive to the CFC/Imperium.

I learned a hard 250m isk lesson today, gently caress flying the Entosis ship. Not that I actually mind the actual activity, but the first sign of danger you've got to safe up and watch as the rest of the fleet gets steadily pulled in a new direction while you're stuck. Also, on the off chance flying an Entosis becomes critical enough to do it, don't go out with a swordfleet.
