Pubbies were colicky about how the CSM obviously convinced CCP to ban GigX again, because the timing of the ban coincided with the CSM summit. Well, sort of. The ban happened before the summit started, but it was only separated by a day or two.

I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK



Dumb outsider question, curious what the IRL origin stories of the current major alliances are besides GSF (SA) and Test (reddit)


Do any other major alliances or coalitions have origin forums or sites or did most of the affiliations happen in-game / more spontaneously?

Alright, I'm accepting of the Eve Vegas and other get together message pings that come though the Pidgin system, but this thing just a few minutes ago angers me:



(4:04:58 PM) directorbot: On a more personal note, we all know that 9/11 is coming up, and that's a deeply traumatic time for a lot of us who lost loved ones or have served in conflicts around the world. Around November of last year, I started seeing a therapist who has helped me tremendously with my issues, and he's taking new clients for online sessions. I highly recommend seeing a mental health professional, regardless of who, as it seems almost impossible at times to grapple with poo poo on your own. But if you'd like a recommendation for a therapist, this guy has done wonders for me and I can't speak highly enough of him: https://awentherapy.com/about-me/

~~~ This was a broadcast from the_mittani to opt-all at 2018-09-09 23:05:01.465774 EVE ~~~



Well intentioned though it may be, Pidgin should not be used to advertise for a therapist that is why we have the in-game email system.



Besides this there was another ping about a week for what turned out to be a pointless, fake survey where one of the responses was something like "did you really ping this stupid thing?"



The more I think about this guy's post I'm just convinced he is the ubertroll. Bastion account, latin name, waits until Mittens pings about mental health and then quotes it and says that's what evemail is for. In AAD. It's the 195 proof grain alcohol of posts that would anger goons. It's so perfectly distilled that I can't help suspect that some mondo-genius has been waiting for his moment to strike for so long and he finally saw his moment and seized it.

But then...

He didn't sign his post. Like I said, 195 proof. But still not perfect. I refuse to believe that someone could make something so perfect intentionally and not sign his name as the final touch on his masterpiece. Which brings me back to that this is just some random monkey typing and out came almost-Shakespeare.

Either way, I know I'll be thinking about it for a long time.

But then I think about when I used to cheat on tests at school. I would intentionally throw in a few mistakes. It added verisimilitude. He's signed his name on his other posts, yet he doesn't do it here? What if he's smarter than me? He knew signing the name would make it too perfect, like the humans who rejected the perfect Matrix I would have seen his masterpiece and said "such a thing cannot exist by chance". So he left one detail wrong. Just enough to make me believe it could he legitimate. There was no greater intelligence behind it, that it was just the perfect post of a perfect fool.

And he almost had me. He was so close. But I reject this reality. By not making it perfect you exposed how perfect you actually are. I won't sleep tonight knowing you're out there, you're posting, and you have a plan.

Has Mittens been ok lately? :ohdear: Because, granted, last time I talked to him on any kind of regular basis he was still married but I wouldn't have expected him to seriouspost anything like that (or be particularly affected by 9/11).

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


That is a problem I've noticed, even though Delve is apparently a bustling economic chart-topper in like every category, the place still feels deserted when I fly around. We produce something absurd like a full 35% of the galaxy's mineral wealth in just this tiny corner of the game, don't we? That should feel more... I dunno, impactful? I know the game's really about getting in spaceship fights with your internet gang, but outside of battles the general atmosphere is just so empty.

Part of the reason we can pull such big numbers is because we take great pains to extinguish anyone who comes to our space with overwhelming force. People who come to Delve to fight generally tool for escape before anything else.

Easily. Big things have enough buffer to survive having their space boats violenced for long enough for help to teleport to the scene via cyno. Little things just evaporate, or can't spare the fitting for the cyno in the first place.
