I just wanted to point out that I have some friends that do this. I don't yet cause I don't have kids but when I do I'm certainly gonna do this.
Eve + Children = Profit
I met a guy a couple of weeks ago that lets his 8 year old play eve mining! WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA~!!@#! He bought the character and the ship with his isk and gave them to his kid. I can see it now... "Jr. When you're done with your homework then you can go mine for daddy, but right now it's homework time" 10 mins later "Well, homework was never important anyway get to work!!!!" I'm thinking if I put the right spin on it they'll LOVE mining so much they'll want to do it all day. Or if that gets old maybe mission running or something. Man when summer time comes around I'm gonna be so rich!
I only wanted one or two kids before but I think I'll make a whole flock now. A herd even. Just wait till my wife hears this one. Can't get me for that CCP, they're not macros they're mini-mes HAHAHAHA!

You will pay for this by having your childs in home till they turn 30-35 years
hmmn that's a good point... but by then eve won't be around and I probably won't care. I have no problems paying for a place for them to live if they're profitable enough. If not... Chinese work force for you. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

Originally by: Chribba Ok let's estimate... the cost of raising a child to 18 years of age, what US$100,000?
Now instead, let's assume you spend that 100k buying 90d GTC's - $38.95 a pop - that's 2,567 GTCs, and you sell them cheap for 400M in the Timecode Bazaar - that will make you about 1,026 billion ISK.
So question is, will your kids mine 1 Trillion ISK before getting tired and moving away from you - or do you want to spend that cash buying instant fortune?
That's a good argument for not having more, but I guess when my wife suckers me into having kids there will be a bright side.
BTW chribba look for the eve-file guide soon. "How to sucker your kids into making you an eve fortune." I promise it's coming in a few years. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

Originally by: Letouk Mernel EVE + Old Retired Parents = Profit also.
Allright, old man, you can barely move, can't work anymore, your retirement allowance barely pays for some of the food, and there's rent, medical bills that Medicare doesn't cover, and so on, so get mining!
Revenge.
God it's a perfect master plan. God will strike us down for finding such an incredible loophole in the universe. I think I'm gonna teach my wife's grandmother. She's german so she could get into the PA or something. Act doubly as a spy. HAHAHA
Originally by: Niccolado Starwalker
Well, you might not be caught for macroing, but you can be caught for account sharing.
Using your own children for such tasks unobserved, can be looked on just like that: Account sharing! So I would stop now if I where you, and rather let the children take the dishes instead while you play!
Phwwet dishes can be handled by my wife. The kids and I play... err work rather. And account sharing? WTh is that? no... I'd never let a n00b on my acct. They'd get their own accounts. As a perk. Same with Grandma. If she's gonna live on my dime in my house or in a nursing home she's gonna make me some isk. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

Originally by: Amarth Thargan Also some suicide gankers might go out and beat up your kids at school.
No shielding, hull or armor No concord with big guns
Eh it's the price we all pay. But I can get my corpmates to bbq them into a stargate whenever the bullies come back online. Heck we'll let the kid come to put the final blow on him. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

Find someone to baby sit for who has 7 kids and goes out a lot. Get some cheap laptops that can run Eve classic. Profit!
OMG PYRAMID SCHEME>>@!$#!@ $% If I have all daughters by the time they're all about 16 I can start raising profits exponentially. Geez this is sick and awesome. I can't wait. I don't think I've ever wanted some kids so bad.
Originally by: Myros Glimmbrand I used to get my daughter to run escort for me, never could get her to mine though ... kids!
Sadly she's off playing WoW or somesuch these days ... guess I need to beat her more often ;p
Myros
Hey man it's all in the genes. We can't all have the eve gene. If you didn't beat her then it won't work now. At least that's the way I hear it goes. You gotta get them started young. That way it's nostalgic later. Shoulda gotten her on it at like 5 or six cause at that point mining is all they can handle. Then later on it'd be like legos or barbie or whatever. They'd do it just to get that little kid feeling again. So yeah sorry about your loss. Oh well there's always WoW. If she plays the sims though I feel really sorry for you. Ouch. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

You know you need a female friend to help, right? Doing it on your own won't work, that just makes you a ****er
You realize I'm married and she wants kids. I don't tell her the plan I just plant the seed. Then when the time comes I tell her me and Jr are spending family time together and viola no objections.
Really people admit it... It's the best idea you've ever seen. Ever. Like the wheel or fire. Maybe even beer. I should have kept it to myself and sold it. But hey, I'm not that greedy. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

hhm This sounds like less hypothetical and more personal experience. so I'll take it in parts
Originally by: Fiorenza You do understand that one day, when you are least expecting it, two cloaked and cunningly equipped assault ships will suddenly appear alongside you and your children will evaporate your new and expensive toy that you have worked for six months to buy.
Yeah they might try. They might actually succeed, but it's still worth doing so what's your point?
Originally by: Fiorenza
And while you beat your head against the wall the two little darlings will smile sweetly at you and say 'But Daddy, remember, it's just a game.'
First, I've lost many a ship sister. I'm far beyond beating my head against the wall. And the idea is that I'd be too rich (isk wise) to care. Second, I don't care if it's "just a game". It's MY game. PoX IS EVE!!! BOOM!!!
Originally by: Fiorenza
And if you do the same back to them, people will spurn you in the street.
Beware.
Whaaaa? people will what me? I don't even know anyone in a 100 mile radius that plays eve. Why would people find me disdainful if I tell my kids "It's only a game"? Isn't that what your supposed to say? Either way doesn't make much difference I'd just say what I said above. And if they find me repulsive and shout curses at me so be it. Get online and I'll take you 1v1 buddy. But my kids will be there to finish you if I lose. HAHAHA
