How to measure success in Eve? And how would you do it for your own? |

Logging off for the day with a smile on my face.
Perhaps because I had tons of pvp fun, perhaps because some retards got put in their place through "nefarious ways", perhaps I made a killing with exploration, perhaps because I helped some newbie understand the "true EVE" opening his eyes, perhaps because I helped a small corp of upstarts learn to defend themselves against wardecs and asshats (like me). Or just perhaps I just logged in, chatted with a whole bunch of people while getting absolutely nothing done at all but still had a good time. |

If I continue to enjoy myself I am being successful.
I play as I wish in the manner that I wish and choose when I answer to anothers call.
CCP has paid my way for three years and I will not begrudge the money when I once again have to pay my own sub nor will I scrabble and scratch for isk to try to 'play for free'
By my own rules . . . .I am winning

I enjoy myself enough to pay by annual sub year after year to do what I do in the game.
That is my measure of success.
This is not a signature.

I use the skills I acquire playing EVE to maintain my cell in D Block, and to manage a working relationship with my cell mate, Irv.
I love imaginary activities with real world applications!

Asking someone to explain transversal three times, then asking him to explain the offside rule, with 3 other women stood behind me guffawing
Using experiences in EvE IRL, like changing career direction. Talking to some of the smartest people I've come across. Being taught to see things from multiple perspectives, or more completely changing my mind over things based upon conversations. Being able to participate in the game at a text based level (which is awesome when you love reading but despise twitch gaming). Using EvE as a lens to view the rest of the internet with bizarre results. Lurking in plain sight to study the strange male mind with hilarious results.
Particular favourite hobby - spotting interesting people/high profile figures ingame then sneaking upto them to talk to them (sometime on alts) without them knowing it's me. And then mentioning it years later. Oh, and trying to construct hideously complicated ingame challenges then executing them. Some of these projects have been ongoing for years, it's almost like playing against yourself. And everyone else.

You've never seen him make Trippia scream LIAR LIAR after 7 pages of brawling. Pretty sure he is pulling le troll face most of the time tbh. I think it's adorable, but I'm perverted.

Man you guys seem to get super mad I'm much more successful at what I do than you.
I suggest not measuring your own self-worth against others. Be happy with who you are. I know it's hard because you don't have much to work with, but if you stop comparing yourselves to your betters (people like me) you'll have a more fulfilling, enjoyable life.
Good luck nerds. |

Translation: "I'm naturally better than all of you, but of course I'm puffing myself up before beating a hasty retreat at the sight of too many of my past transgressions. I'd better leave before someone calls me out on my bullshit...again!"
I take that last 'good luck' to be his exit from this thread. If he posts again here...well, it's yet another red mark.

This is suppose to be a thread about our own personal definition of success.
I can only imagine the reasons why so many of you are focused on mine. |

Well personally I'm knee deep in conceptual artwork right now (**** you negative space drawing, make my brain hurt) and needed to give my brain a break , hence ripping on you.
Also "realise" is the European spelling
Actually back on topic, one thing I want to do is get a roleplayer to break character and start flaming me

I measure success in several ways
By how many laughs me and my corp mates can entice out of each other.
Winning a tight fight, or losing a tight fight is also success.
Finishing the month with more ISK than I started the month, no matter how meager.
