Game word that I find dumb and will never understand how it ever came about.. Twink.. Seriously do you even know what that means?! YOLO isn't a word. It's an acronym consisting of four words. You Obviously Like Owls? YOLO is one of those expressions that stupid people use to justify their stupidity when they end up breaking their necks or some other idiotic outcome occurs that they never anticipated (like accidentally doing the full monty in front of their own mothers, or something). It's carpe diem for the illiterate masses. No, I knew that. Just sticking a shiv into a much-overused ephemeral-ism.
On the other hand, I now have the image of Robin Williams standing atop a school desk, declaiming "YOLO!" stuck in my head.
Yeah. I've got mental issues.

the term ship refers to a hull that has a main mast.
real world:
a carrier is a ship a destroyer is a ship a submarine is a boat (because it has no main mast)
IN EVE: as none of the ships in EVE have a definitive mast, they are technically space-boats.
the zypher and tempest and probe are the exceptions here as: the tempest has the sail towers the probe has a sail fin.
the zypher has a solar sail.
on the front of words that pezz me off.

Damn. Someone who knows nautical traditions. Plus one internets! Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Quest - Missions could be called 'quests' however quests are generally used by the fantasy game inclined. Mission is a better word for the sci-fi fantasy. You ever hear the word quest in Star Wars? The game Space Quest doesn't count.
Crafting - Crafting invokes images of using a whittling knife to create a figurine from an olive branch or something. Crafting is something that generally involves animal skins and primitive methods of creation. Eve is far from primitive and has factories and therefore industry is the correct word.
Can we call you a noob, for trying to dictate language conventions on this forum?

You must never use the word "bro".
I was taking a stroll through nullsec and someone told me to "get out of my hood, bro"
I got out fast, but not because of what he said, but because of what he said.

Lol, i was going to bring up Welsh in response to this one as well.
Or just about any language/dialect from the Philippines; I could come up with words in some of those that would put 16 letters to shame! |

I'm surprised no one noticed that Iceland has some of the most convoluted 30 letter place names ever conceived. I'm surprised the country is just called Iceland, and not Icetrekogiodorceotrypkrojfyord.

Lol, well I'm being told to calm down by one player, and am being called a fat American conservative stereotype by another. Tthis highlights a well known problem with email, posting on forums, etc. You can't always discern the spirit in which someone posts. I meant my post to be tongue in cheek and not too serious, although some German words are crazy in length. Although I am an American, half my ancestors on both my mother and fathers sides of the family are German. |

Try not to consider nerd as a binary you are or are not type of situation. In my opinion there is more of a spectrum to nerdom. Here is an example of that scale, I'll cover 1 and 10, I'm sure you nerds can fill in the rest.
1 - 400# virgin neck beard in his mom's basement. His only form of interaction outside of those cyber related consist of arguing Star War canon at the local IHOP. If this is you, you should feel bad.

10 - The married guy, bonus if he has kids, that still finds time to play his MMO or FPS or whatever at least for a few hours a week and is willing to sacrfice those erhm 'intimate' moments with his signifigant other becuase there is an armor roam tonight or pocos coming out of reinforce etc. "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."--H.L.

Who died and made you God, again? I will call toons as toons. Quests = missions = quests. And crafting = Tradeskilling. Heck, corps are but guilds anyway, too. Don't like it, lump it.
Ya but you are that irritating WoW apologist guy that no one likes so what you think doesn't matter. |

I was kind of making passing reference to EVE having been often called submarines in space because of the fluid dynamics. Real world for now. Not sure if present RL terms might apply to a pretend future, but ok. *shrug* Besides, "these are the voyages of the spaceboat Enterprise" doesn't sound quite right somehow. :) Maybe the isk/irl money thing is people subconsciously wishing they had as much real money as isk? I wish...
I'm listening to-áBj+¦rk, playing EVE, eating fishsticks, and I'm cold....this is immersion gaming. |
