I was pointed to this thread from a newbie chat channel, as it was said there was good advice here.
After reading the whole thread, and being a new-ish player myself, I thought I'd give my impressions of the thread as a whole.
At first, I was inclined to feel for the OP, as he was trying to help new players learn the game, and was having issues with wardeccers.
However, by around page 3 my attitude had changed, since so many people had given great advice and were ignored by the OP.
Seriously, the advice given throughout this thread should be copy/pasted somewhere. I believe if more new CEO's would adhere to it, the overall level of gameplay within Eve would rise as strategies and tactics would have to be developed to deal with the advice here.
But, back to my impressions. By page 3 my attitude towards the OP was certainly negative, as his abusive and/or defensive attitude towards those who posted continued, and the best case scenario for anyone who did post would be limited to being ignored completely by the very person who asked for help in the first place.
By the end of the thread, where this very post appears, my attitude is now one of profiteering, and furthering my own enjoyment at the expense of someone else.
The OP's original attitude, though it might have changed a bit as he sobered up through the thread, has made me decide to create an alt on an alt account, and maybe more than 1, with the sole purpose being to infiltrate and/or annihilate the OP's corporation.
I am not saying this as a threat, or in any way trolling, but merely pointing out the impressions I got as I read through this thread. It should serve as a warning to posters that what you post can and many times will have repercussions outside the forums themselves.
Just a heads up. Have fun all!

NC is incorrect which I already addressed earlier in the thread.
DMC You do know that reposting stuff that got deleted is against the rules. And talking about wanting to hqve the last say in a discussion. Nothing wrong with that reply.
And yes, thanks for proving the statement about always having the last word.

I'm glad you cleared that up. I was thinking it was that other kind of alt.

You guys are funny.
Of course I posted as an alt. The whole point of my post was to illustrate how one's posts to a forum can impact you inside Eve itself. To post with my main would be to not take my own advice.
Anyway, I do hope the OP gets help...both in Eve and maybe an attitude check.
I also hope this thread serves as a warning to people who have a tendency to post before counting to ten.
From a personal perspective, I've taken notes from the advice given here for if and when I ever decide to start my own corp.
Thanks to all who posted.

So the actual truth is that one of the so called Vet's posting here decided to create an alt, lied and tried to metagame this thread as well as incite griefing and harassment towards the OP. Wouldn't be surprised if there was more than one self proclaimed 'Vet' doing that..
It's sad that this is the usual Modus Operandi in these forums, easily done due to hiding behind the anonymity of the Keyboard.
Heh, besides being a total fail, gotta say the usual meme = Post with your main or HTFU.
As for the attitude check, seems to me that advice applies to everyone who's posted in this thread, including myself. Wow, I didn't even count to 10 before posting that.

Ok, I like that. Throw rocks, fun fun!
I am what I said, I am a new-ish player, not a vet hiding. However, that doesn't keep me from making an alt to post with, for the reasons I said.
As for inciting something against the OP, I honestly don't care one way or the other. I just wanted to emphasize the risk, which I did.
Oh, and as for some vets being in NPC corps, that may be true, but this alt was created a very very short time ago, as anyone can see by simply checking my employment history.
Sometimes anonimity on these boards serves a purpose, such as allowing the poster to post without repurcussions, which is why I did so. Of course, other people may have more insidious reasons.
I think you're reading way too much into my post, but that is your prerogotive.
Happy trails, and may all your muffins be buttered! |

Ahhh, more web weaving.
The employment history doesn't mean much at all, especially since accounts have 3 different character slots available. Granted your character may have been created on 2014.01.05 @ 09:34 but that doesn't mean it's a brand new account.
Gotta say your reply sounds a lot like a Vet trying to maintain the facade of being a brand new player.
Brand new players don't know about or even think about creating an alt character for posting in the forums in order to bypass 'repercussions' until after being in game for a while, usually it's advice gained from another forum user..
