RL wormholes If your liberty is won by others then you are not free, you are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic and you suck the honourable man dry. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood |

RL wormholes Hard to apply EVE to RL because it isn't real. It's not even close to a simulation. |

Actually I think Nullsec is more like Africa with PMC's and local warlords fighting each other over "Potential" but nothing really worth fighting over. |

In order:
Prison ward (you can easily hurt someone, but you're not going to get away with it)
New York City of the 90s. (you're going to get away with it)
Somalia (warlords control what space they can hold by force of arms)
No good RL analogy. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

RL hi-sec is a school playground, relatively safe, people want to play together with the occasional bully.
RL low-sec, crack house.
RL null-sec, urban environment with random gang violence.
RL wormholes, rural country where the neighbors occasionally take pot shots at each other.
And for apply what I've learned in Eve....If you give me $100 I'll give you 10x back, really does work. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

Thanks to EVE i have become a lot more patient with people in general.
Side effect from beeing a recruiter for several years and having had to turn recruits down and then dealing with said recruits getting angry because they got turned down. Still makes me grind my theets but i dont let it get to me anymore As an example. End up in a really aggrevating conversation in real life, take a "very" deep breath and find some reason to leave the conversation.

I had quite some prejudice concerning the kind of gamer that plays MMO's, and I have to admit I was wrong. Who would have taught that I'd enjoy the company of griefers, scammers and pirates? Either I am a soulless MMO bot myself, or most of the players are actually sociable people. I'm inclined to believe the latter. |

I make sure i update my clone before i walk out the door in the mornings. Never know what's gonna happen I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannh+ñuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.....Time to die. |

I went to a theme park the other day ("Movie World" on the Gold Coast). I found it very boring. Sure, the stunt cars pulled some neat stunts, but the forced smiles, the dreary look on the "escapee" as he was running away from the crashing and burning police cars GǪ it was all so staged. I could tell that each of the actors had done this so many times that there was no enjoyment left in the activity of driving stunt cars any more. They were burned out theme park veterans, raiding the same content over and over again with no purples left to collect.
Then we went to the beach. There's nothing at the beach but lots of sand, and water that moves on its own accord in semi-predictable ways (we call that semi-predictable movement "waves" and "rip"). Everyone that was there was there because they wanted to be there. Some people were just sun bathing, others were playing volleyball on the beach (and some of them GǪ well, let's just say that beach volley ball is a great sport whether you are participating or spectating), some were playing cricket, and some were just throwing balls around in the surf for something to do.
Remembering that the most important thing in EVE is to have friends, I decided to apply my EVE knowledge to the beach life. I wandered around these groups and asked if I could join in. The 20-something girls playing volleyball just laughed at the old guy trying to join in GÇö they probably checked my corp history and thought I wasn't actually there to play volleyball, and expected that I'd spend most of my time awoxing. The people sunbathing probably didn't want company (they were there to enjoy the sun and the surf, and not the people). So I ended up fielding in a game of cricket (they invented a new position for me, "left right outfield" which is probably a step up from "silly mid on"). We had a bit of fun, then they went home for their barbecue.
I'm not sure what the moral to the story is, but the people I saw at the theme park (employees and visitors alike) didn't look like they were having anywhere near as much fun as the people on the beach.

Null Sec = working on an oil rig in the Canadian Arctic -- for 3 drilling seasons -- that's winter -- with no sun for months at a time. fun times.
Low Sec = Yellowknife on a Saturday night -- makes the "Wild West" look like a Sunday School picnic by comparison.
High Sec = anywhere with a bank machine and a strip bar with great looking "employees". |

RL hi-sec: gated community, lots of hard working blue collar people with mundane lives and too many kids to feed.
RL low-sec: any bad neighborhood, lots of crime, nice people get ganked if they accidentally step in
RL null-sec: off the coast of Somalia. Lots of large forces around and solo pirates running about in between
RL wormholes: oil rig. Out in the middle of no where for months at a time, drilling for isk

One lesson from EVE that you can apply is that ganking four-year-olds on the swing set will upset the parents, and that this makes 30-year-olds believe that they can kick and scream and cry and be treated like babies tooGǪ Vote Malcanis for CSM8. |

I used to work at Movie World, so I have a slightly different veiwpoint than you about this.
Did you notice how happy all the little "noobs" were to meet their favorite, well established characters? They were immersed in the experience while the adults knew better, but played along anyway.
Then again it was just like any other job, and we got paid to make sure that customers didn't "rage quit" the theme park, no matter how rude or obnoxious they behaved. If your liberty is won by others then you are not free, you are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic and you suck the honourable man dry. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves.
