So I noticed today that since May 5 there has been a ridiculous number of new players created. Is there some sale or new promotion going on that I didn't see? If I'm reading the chart right, we just had our highest single day ever of new player creations:

http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility

There was a free weekend on Steam that was kinda-sorted promoted (not well), and I guess the prospect of playing 'free' for 3 days is somehow more drawing than playing 'free' for 21 days.

Sorry - cravius. Clavicus. Whatever. My bad, homie -- I'm a lowly j4g pubbie after all so I'm not great with names on the cool kids forum. Except there is that little detail of how I J'd after I G'd, and there is a precedent for registering different SA accounts over the years, but let's not get caught up in the small stuff. I'm really not interested in having a dick measuring contest about who is the gooniest goon. That's stupid and you calling people who care about their alliance "j4g's" is really loving divisive and short-sighted given the climate.

Dumbass.

Oh and there was that whole trying to play it straight in this thread, something I very rarely attempt to do because we're talking about a video game. Yeah that's out too - I'm done with trying to have reasonable discourse among adults here because it's not working since the stupidity seems to have taken over and this thread is not indicative of the high level of posting you usually see on SA - it's an outlier of a a few good posters (Flanders helping people with fits, etc.) So I guess I'm just gonna have to bring Vatomania to the loving SA thread now in order to make it even remotely entertaining and not a giant boring circlejerk.

So either Stunt was fine the whole time and your alliance really do mass abuse the report system for in game gain without a second thought, or you're okay with taking on an actual pedophile so long as he's good at internet spaceships.

T2 logi frigates are kind of fun. Am I supposed to orbit what the enemy is shooting at like some kind of reverse newbie tackle? The falloff change to remote reps seems to be a big deal; reps kept breaking on anyone more than about 10km away from me.

I think it's worth it. Despite what reading the posts in this thread might make you think, EVE is actually a neat game. Or rather, EVE is a neat game if you play with a group of people you like. There are a handful of options in the OP, but I'd steer you towards either Goonswarm or KarmaFleet. Don't make the mistake of trying to play by yourself for a while to get the hang of the game, that usually doesn't work very well. (VideoGames posts notwithstanding.) Get into Goons or KarmaFleet and start playing with other folks.

Goonswarm thread with joining information: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3773673

Karmafleet information (I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong): https://www.reddit.com/r/Karmafleet/comments/3k3mgt/everything_you_need_to_know_about_karmafleet_new/

The deed is done, I'm apped up. Left the urine sample in the cubby, stool sample is in the bucket, 7 vials of blood extracted and the guy with the rubber glove was surprisingly gentle.

There are micro asteroids now to make the belt feel denser. They're quite nice visually but certainly are irritating if you're attempting to approach someone in a belt while cloaked.

Seriously Paco, when is your reddit AMA?

Obviously I won't be doing a reddit AMA though I did sort of cut loose there in a comment with my disillusionment regarding everything EVE related right now, including the doxxing stuff and the weariness felt from a year of being almost universally disliked among a group who I had very personal reasons for caring about which transcended the silly game or this awful thread (VideoGames' OP and posts notwithstanding.)

Then I went back and read Kathao's submission on TMC which he wrote before he left for TDB but that only served to make me a bit more depressed. I had a bit of an existential crisis where I started smoking clove cigarettes and reading Camus again like when I was 16 and that lasted a little while, but I sorted it out by lunch, worked the rest my shift and decided that for the duration of my time in the game -- however long that is -- I'm just going to be a quiet little mouse. Stick around for as long as I can still stand it but I'm certainly not leaving for anywhere else -- I'm all in with the group so if I fail in that regard I'm just finished with the game - it's just not good enough of a game to hold my interest otherwise.

This is sort of where I am at with things now, but we all know things can change (except the joining someone else that'll never change thanks.) As such I'll start slimming stuff down via S-Mart when I get off RO. The rest I'll mothball. I sort of had a plan with all of this but I don't really have the heart for it anymore. It's not even an emo thing at this point it's just... we try things in life and sometimes they work out and sometimes not. I'm a lucky guy with a great life; that doesn't mean everything is going to work out the way I would like all of the time, and I knew that coming in to this. I had a good deal of fun with it all, but it's time to put it away, along with this SA account (as Paco would say "lol if you think I'd post in the EVE thread with my actual account") and just fade away into the backdrop, as I have been for so long.

So it goes. I guess this is the part where I spit on the culture entirely and sign my post, being relegated to the Xenurias of the world (man that stung) and angry at everyone for rejecting me so flatly and arrogantly. I can't bring myself to do it though so instead I'll just thank you all for letting me experiment and try new stuff out while I worked through some stuff with the help of internet spaceships, laughs, and the freedom of the sandbox. Love you guys - not many of you individually mind you... but as a whole? Yeah, you still have your mojo. You just need to stop bitching at each other that it isn't there anymore in order to see that it is.

poo poo dude... Do you want me to start talking about Atlantis again so people stop making GBS threads on you and poo poo on me more? I'll do it for you because you seem too much of a gentle soul to take insults from people you don't know on internet.


:eonwe: Please everyone, poo poo on me instead of Paco. I am very, very worried about him and I would hate if he did something stupid because goons hurt his feelings too much. The last thing I want him to do is join Horde and do an AMA. :eonwe:


Acceptable things you can poo poo on me for: Atlantis, my J4G status, my bad posting abilities, the fact that I'm short, the fact that I'm getting a bit fattish. My bad hair and pretty much any loving thing you guys would tell Paco that just might make him cry.

As a general rule the only thing a layman will find from your IP address is the city you live in and if you have bad taste in providers. Reddit actually jumped up and down stating that "Showing the IP address is DOXXING" and I had a good laugh. Reminded me of those flashing scare ads that would pop up saying "YOUR COMPUTER IS BROADCASTING AN IP ADDRESS!!!!!!"

Pretty much every moderator of every forum everywhere has your IP, back when stratics was a thing and I was a mod there (In the early 00's) we had vbul setup so I saw the users IP right under their posts. Made it easy to see people dodging bans in the day where private VPN's were rare and the HAHA I'm behind 800 proxies meme wasn't a thing. Anyone with the goonfleet mumble admin token probably has your IP, if you have commented on TMC.com... they know your IP.
