You're all being dumb.

Yes, people still use "jewing" to refer to ratting occasionally in TYOOL 2015. It's a hard habit to break, myself included -- probably because it's not quite as blatantly offensive as "human being" or "friend of the family" or other catchphrases of choice that people are just now training themselves to not use.

If you hear it, and it bothers you, speak up. Chances are, they'll go "oh yeah." It's not that hard.

Can I ask if this thread sparked the whole discussion?

Speaking as someone with an alt in BNI: their comms are WAY nastier than ours. Which is impressive, really, when you consider how bad Imperium comms are. I don't know if it's the TEST influence, or something else entirely; they drop racial slurs like it's going out of style. (Hint: It's going out of style.)

PS: I made another monthly thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZyuEgtvyCI

Yeah, when I had an alt in there I got a couple chuckles at how their comms were and how they'd profess elsewhere that they weren't like the other groups and their fleet comms were super firendly to everyone etc.

No idea who that is. Is CCP Dolan still there?

He's the one that hosted the Alliance Tournament last year and despite the ~Icelandic awkward phrasing~ he wasn't all that bad either. Nice dude to drink with as well when at Fanfest. Also Dolan quit like a year ago and no one seems to have missed him much since nothing under his watch fell apart. CCP Leeloo seems far more competent at managing the CSM than him.

As much as people claim TMC to be an RMT ring, they don't do anything that breaks CCPs rules or policies despite what the Reddit crowd cries about.

Considering what regular writers make per pageview the TMC writers are probably well paid for their articles if they spend the isk anyway.

As human effort versus reward it probably beats most eve professions and having worked for TMC is a genuine merit if they ever want to move on to other work in the business.

When I made ISK off my articles I made like 4bil pretty regularly. Then I got paid in real money which was pretty good money for what I was doing and the effort put in each month.

You could argue the reason why it was "good" was that one of the higher up editors was also someone who worked for RPS, Massively, and some other sites.

Is exploration much for actually making money in nullsec and/or goonspace? I've been loving around in highsec and C1/2 wormholes while waiting to be moved out of Vacationers, and it's not exactly a cornucopia of funds so far. (Not that I expected it to be yet, mind.)

Can't speak for up where CFC/Imperium are, but yes Null exploration is far more profitable than Highsec.

I make about a billion ISK every two weeks or so by doing only Relic sites in Null. Mostly you just go to the site, cargo scan, hack, loot the goodies, move them to your staging and then ship to Jita to sell. I've found armor plates and nanite compound you pick up from the sites to be the big money makers. You can come across BPCs but they're usually not high value. You can do the sites in WHs but they have NPCs you have to worry about where as in Null there aren't any.

Edit - vvv Yeah, the RNG is pretty annoying but that's what the cargo scanner is for so you can find cans worth the hassle. The hacking is of course harder in Null and I found even having Level 4 skills for the relic related skills and tech knowledge it can be aggravating at times when you gently caress up a puzzle.

So what did Cerebral Wolf do? I've not heard of him. I need information if I am going to harass him out of game. Are we harassing him out of the game or outside the game?

Cerebral Wolf wanted to get the ball rolling with the Goons in DUST 514 so pushed for an "official Goon corp" to be formed, it was more or less made out of pity because no one gave two shits about DUST and they still don't. He then used his position of "power" (as much power as you have for a small group in an equally small game community) to voice his opinion on the developments for DUST.

Along the way he ran afoul of some pubbie named Zionshad (he ran for CSM and was the head of some group called Zion TCD), during the culmination of their slapfights Cerebral Wolf claimed Zionshad had gotten CW's wife's IRL phone number and tried to be an e-creeper about it. It's generally claimed that this accusation is why Zionshad dropped out of the CSM 8 race. Then a Goon in the DUST 514 corp called CW out on the claim about the wife being harassed and said it was fabricated. It fizzled out as it was just a game of "nuh uh"

However, it also was claimed that CW was also getting IRL info on ~prominent members~ of the DUST community which included people from the first CPM (the CSM for DUST). CW was then accused of having attempted to blackmail these people after not getting selected for the first CPM (CCP chose the members) and tried to flex his meta game muscles by doing so.

At Fanfest (2013), Mittani spoke with a few people from the CPM and got wind of all the poo poo that had gone down, namely the blackmail, and hellpurged the fuckstick. As a double whammy a bunch of the directors in the DUST group were fed up with him and performed a coup.

Shortly after that he went to the Nulli poo poo tier team, then went to BNI before being purged, then tried to use Groon to not be on the CFCs bad side (I recall him trying to rat in Deklein or Venal and getting dumpstered), then tried to get back into the CFC through Fweddit before being purged, and then went back to the boonies.

Last I heard they were closer to 18 months behind schedule. The FPS component was already supposed to be out and the ship PVP component has been out for about a year now and their netcode can't handle more than 6 people in a session without making GBS threads the bed.

Their only hope is the singleplayer campaign, especially since the people making it are on the other side of the planet from Chris Roberts.

For both Amarr & Minmatar you do certain Level 4s at Tier 4 using a torp bomber and that's basically it.
