I actually like that the ECM ships now look like an actual electronic warfare ship might.

stunt had been in FCON's space killing their ratters and demanding ransom, as is his predilection, but FCON was screaming especially loudly because of it and even told their guys not to rat at all last weekend

The FCON tears stunt has been sharing are amazing. Also the guy who self destructed his freighter today and claimed he turned a profit on insurance.

I found that out from a divorce attorney I dated.

Every once in a while I look her up on FB and you can actually track the progress of her soul being crushed in her profile photos. It's pretty horrifying.

Totally OT but I used to work with a guy who was married to a lawyer at one of the top divorce firms in the country.

She caught him cheating and forgave him. He learned nothing. :psyduck:

is this a "mouthpiece" or "a person in the directorate that I liked"

legit question, no snark intended; i'm trying to figure out what a "mouthpiece" does and i'm not coming up with anything

I'm sorry I missed this post. Back in the day outside of the verbal SOTG's which really only happened at the onset of a war, Endie was responsible for a fair number of the alliance updates and posting the war updates which by and large was the closest thing your average line member came to interacting with a director, outside of say "The common oik" directors like Arkhamina or Kismeteer. He was also one of the more prolific "Posting" directors which is to say, we interacted with him far more than someone like say Sion. For those following along with how humans form relationships "The guy I know" is an awful powerful thing when it comes to buying basic credibility.

This leaves people like me at a bit of a quandary, is the guy who used to give me all of my news and engaged with me, and was generally entertaining an evil power grubbing bastard? Is the Mittani an evil scheming bastard out to destroy anyone who disagrees with him? Both of those ideas sound kinda stupid so I'm going to split the difference and assume both sides had good points, and distinct visions of what the future should hold that conflicted to the point where they didn't respect eachother any more. Which is sad.

I feel a lot the same way about kismeteer, he was a really swell guy who didn't handle things well, and it's all turned him a bit bitter and broken about the whole thing.

I don't hate anyone involved, nor can I possibly see summoning up the energy TO hate anyone involved. I mean there's one ex director I have legitimate game related beef with, but if I met him at the bar I'd still buy him a pint, because we still have more in common than not.

Citizen Rats posts in the eve threads actually helped humanize Mittens, and it was always fun to watch her fact check someone who should technically know better. For both their sakes I hope the divorce was relatively clean, and not some acrimonious poo poo festival, because if divorce is soul draining, that kind of thing just shreds it.

With penif, el mitones and endie all posting this close to each other I'm wondering if maybe this can be the friendship thread again and old grudges can be set aside and everything will be like it was before. Someone needs just produce an olive branch and we'll all be basking in the afterglow of their rekindled love for each other for months if not years.

I'd honestly love nothing more than a "You made mistakes but it's been a stressful year, all is forgiven, come back home" thing to happen provided there was an Ordo Garr exclusion. I really like happy endings, in both massages and stories.

I'm aware - I'd just like to see folks I like getting along at least and not taking non-joking jabs at each other for a change.

For the record, my divorce was a nightmare. My ex tried to ruin my life and it cost me about 50K sixteen years ago. Needless to say the last sixteen years have easily been the best of my life.

My ex used to joke about which of us broke up more marriages.

And that is as close as I get to marriage, period.

Though women usually won't find that out til about 4 months in and then it ends abruptly.

Citizen Rat always came across as chill and down to earth and I wish her well.

Mittens, no matter what else you want to say about him EVE related just seems like a great guy to have on your side and extremely talented at managing the realities of situations where perceptions and politics intrude in a negative way.

It's really a shame he's not working in the national security world in some fashioon - talent like his is really needed. Unfortunately, the bureaucracy is such that he'd spend years climbing the ladder and having his talent wasted anyhow, so if anything at least he's accomplishing rubbing the nose of the CIA and the NSA and a number of other agencies what they hosed up in not attracting people like him.
