I remember I used to make fun of people who played wow because they're all nerds, while people who play Eve Online are Not Nerds because It Is A Very Serious Game Where Dying Matters

but then I tried WoW and turns out it's a fun and brainless game to play so who knew

Nah, it's an NPC locator agent, you can pay them to find someone, provided you have their character name.

Hilariously (but unsurprisingly), the badposts are almost universally from redditors. Xolve you are getting pretty borderline there, please don't let our impending demise ruin your beautiful streak of not being a garbage idiot tia.

It's not like it started from a good spot in the first place, but it certainly fits the bill for what I'd expect to see if 'textual cancer' was a thing.

tbf it was something mittani got banned for a few months, and lost his spot on the council of space mayors, and its not hypocritical for someone who did a bad thing (and got punished for it) to want other people doing bad things to also get punished

wanting equal application of space law regardless of who you are is reasonable


(im not defending mittani trying to get someone to kill themselves because its a fuckin lovely thing to do, i just don't think he's being a hypocrite here)

Council of Stellar Management. But Council of Space Mayors sounds a lot sillier and I think I might only call it that now.

First time I got killed in EVE by another player I was four days old and exploring in a wormhole. It's good to get over the fear of dying early before you become too risk averse because you'll never end up leaving high-security space and the game will become really boring.

edit: Grammar check.

No dipshit, you're sitting there finger pointing saying some out of context pastebins that don't really say anything but are calling a smoking gun against the entire coalition arrayed against you, when in reality- it's some unimportant jerk off nobodies ever heard of being overly enthusiastic about killing supers and talking about his uncle who works at Blizzard CCP. There's no room up there for literally anyone in your "Direkkktorate", especially when it's talking about what may or may not be against the TOS.

Do keep pushing your narrative though, it's absolutely keeping your allies content and happy in lowsec, outer ring and loving syndicate. Also- nobodies trying to kill GoonSwarm, Grath even went on a capstable and talked about how it was an impossible feat to kill an entity that is organized outside of the drat game. You can't kill TEST, you can't kill Goons, and you can't kill Pl.

Well I just got confused because it said I was in a Corp and I didn't remember joining anyone so I apologised to the Corp members and they told me it was a starter Corp that everyone is part of.

According to CCPs own stats, getting blown up is actually the best thing that can happen to you to keep you in the game beyond the 14 day trial period.

tl;dr Grath is going to make goons great again and mittani doesn't want that
