I'm just wondering

That's a very nice thread you got there, shame if somebody brought goon talk into it.

I guess the Goons are all under 18, as expected.

So for civility in this thread we've got Krixtal 0, The Goon 1.

Interesting.

Krixtal sees goon alts everywhere, even in characters who are obviously not goon alts. That, plus the "they disagree with me in some tiny way they MUST be against me as a result" are clear signs of obsessive paranoia.

I mean, lets look at that quote edit from a rational perspective. He was enjoying the topic of the thread, and expressed displeasure at you bringing your goon hate-boner into the thread.

You, on the other hand, see it as an attack on you by an EBIL GOONIE ALT


But, I will digress so as to avoid derailing this thread any further. Will you? My predictive powers say that you can't help but have to have the last word.

See. Told you they would arrive.

Their high sec alts were already here anyway.

It started with the quote altering by Chevalleis just above here.

Predictive talents: Krixtal 1.

Very interesting and kind of telling, I had a feeling the average age for this game would be around 30ish.

I develop software to do data mining.

I occasionally exploit it to make money in Eve.

Interning at PIMCO and waiting for MBA school to start

I don't know why I keep getting degrees.

You Sir, are a scholar.

Confirming that this man makes money datamining. Completely legitimately, it goes without saying.

Besides, it's been proven that people will lie about anything given the opportunity, and it doesn't really matter where or why so long as they think it benefits them or serves some particular purpose they see as being more important than the truth.

I would point out that we're not sampling the entire game population here. By Krixtal's blatantly incorrect assumptions, the average age would probably be 20.

No, I'm a scholar; he's just a guy who presumably has a lot of degrees. At least they are related; it's not like he threw up a PHD in Astrophysical Egineering or something. The thing that gets me, is that he is both a soldier and a Vice President Otherwise I might believe it.

The soldier is not that hard to believe if you understand the military system in the US. I'm a reservist - meaning one weekend a month and two weeks a year. I joined the Army at 17, used it to pay for my education (all of it), to give me experience that I could leverage into a civilian career. After active duty I landed a job as a sourcing manager with GE, then parlayed that into another job, so on and so forth. I've stayed in the reserves, because I enjoy it. I'm on my 3rd enlistment in fact. So that is how I am both a soldier and VP. The VP position came in January. It's a junior position, but it's nice to be in the executive band. I could stop getting degrees by now, since the military experience, the veteran status, and my civilian resume mean that I can basically command whatever job I want. But it's free with my reserve benefits, so I see no reason to stop educating myself, especially if I have time (I take online courses in the evening). My final degree will assure me a very technical overview of business and perhaps a boardroom position in 10 to 15 years.

True, but I think most people here are telling the truth. Because for most, there is no incentive or reason to lie.

..that's just naive.

Most people who responded are not frequent forum posters, why would they care enough to lie? (Not accusing any frequent posters of lying either)

This is more of a fun thread where you seem to be the only passionate one.

Overall, it's actually been a dungheap couple of years that's only recently came to a head so I'm pretty pissy.

You might be right, but it has been my experience that people on the internet tend to embelish their personal occupations and history at the very least, if not outright lie about it. Some do tell the truth without a doubt, and kudos to them for doing so, whether their real occupation is something special or dull and ordinary like mine.

I used to think being a scholar was something important, until I grew up and realized it doesn't pay the bills and nobody cares.

The ages took a steep dive. Felt us young-ins were underrepresented. I guess Eve does likely have a higher average player age than some other MMOs.
