Yeah it sort of does. C-J was the opening story for the book. I highly recommend it, and since he ended at the fall of BoB it'd be cool to see him do a "Volume 2" kinda deal and do the stuff from 2011 to whenever.


:swoon: Where did you pull those up from and could you link the archive? I'm working on a thing and would love to get access to those older maps since I can only find the ones that date back to July 2005 that are on EVE-Files.

Could someone explain the acronyms to me? Goonwaffe, FA, all this weird stuff that is going on? Why people hate each other and begin page long slapfights?

Just help me understand with facts and not emotion and I will be very happy.

goonfleet/waffe/swarm, that's us!
FA, were friends but the alliance died and mostly got folded in
Karma, reddit guys but dont hold that against them too much they're our friends
FCON/SMA/TNT/INIT/Bastion/Razor all friends even if we call them poo poo


PL, pandemic legion they're the bad guys!
PH, pandemic horde they're also bad guys
TEST, reddit alliance but not like our good reddit guys
BOS/OSS(not OOS), were friends but we kicked them from goonswarm awhile back so they're now bad guys
most other acronyms, also bad guys
EVE, it's bad


the page long slap fights with people that begin with d names are mostly because they joined SA to be weird propaganda mouthpieces and post only in this thread and "good guys" that can't help but take the bait, there's a bunch of people on the "bad guy" side that can carry a conversation without just going LOL WE'RE WINNING over and over like xolve, unfunny poster, hell youtuber most of the time

nobody really hates each other it's just eve is a hosed up game thats entire purpose for being is making you emotionally invested in it so emotions run higher, CCP even had a campaign awhile ago pushing an angle of "EVE is Real" really hard to emphasize it

I wish they would make a mechanic for coalitions(group of alliances). It would make it a lot easier for normal players to read maps and the political situation.

Staging out of lowsec and moving to lowsec are two very different things, it's not like the bulk of our coalition doesn't still live in null. The rest are good points though, especially the Super abortions.

Some of us haven't lived in deklein for years. Those of us that are like that are having a grand old time because long deployments to the boonies and surrounded by angry hostiles feels like home to us.

Some sort of map based on a standings filter would be neat but im pretty sure by degree of separation just about every group is linked somehow.

Pretty much. The pre-Fountain War deployment Top Goon went on to Delve in 2013 (my first TG deployment), is pretty comparable to what Waffles/PL deployments are like.

The whole BRAVE one was great because HERO had a lot of dudes just blindly roaming around and it was awesome. Plus Catch has great exploration sites to make money off of :toot:

This is the most recent Verite Rendition Coalition Map



The guys in Cloud Ring (TISHU/Culture) and Co2's space is shown as "Neutral State", as is the Querious Thunderdome groups which is weird but other than that it's pretty good.

I also don't know why DRF and Provibloc have those weird names shown but I assume its a code issue with how Verite got the maps to be generated daily.

The problem is that these were all hand crafted and thus you got one every couple weeks/month or so. And it's not objectively accurate to the sov like the automated ones.

The above video has a neutral tone, so don't worry about getting Redditbrain watching it.

I liked the video. They always do a great job putting things like this together. The Clarion Calls are definitely some of my favorite EVE videos. And LM has the perfect voice for narrating. He could read the ingredients off a pickle jar and it would be mildly interesting to listen to.

I agree but because I find it interesting: there's a good argument that no map is subjective. Projections, scales, the algorithms used and so on all tend to have effects on perception. Norman Davies plays with maps a lot in his histories to make one look at them differently.

UO was quite avantgarde. You could cut down the body of someone you just bested in PvP and cook the parts.

You could kill someone's pet in front of them, butcher it, cook it and eat in front of them. The influence of UO on the early Eve developers is not hard to find.

Vale of the Silent (pink), Tribute (green), Fade (Blue) are the regions that have been more or less given up on so far. At least in terms of keeping any assets there. There is of course the stuff up north (the white blob area near "Tenal") being fought over but as far as I know that's still somewhat being defended more than the other areas I drew over. The stuff in the middle has been reinforced to some degree or the other as well with fighting going on all over. Querns etc. can clarify anything I missed or mixed up though.

I tried drawing it for you.








I'm so sorry you had to see that.

Edit - You can also use http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map and look at it without all the dots all over the place to get a more simplified picture.

Null DEDs can drop same dank loot, but I stuck with lowsec DEDs since you can get hosed on drops in null sometimes; also safer in LS.
