i made a channel for soloers to come and hang out share stories, compare fits, and share intel in general. Name of channel is soloers. I plan on maybe making a killboard for just soloers to rank themselves among other soloers if people would want that.

Well this is a person who is pushing the idea of a place where people who would rather not play with other people can go and talk to those same other people they didn't wish to interact with in the first place...

I think its less an anti social characteristic with soloers in eve and more a case of not wanting to be a cog in the machine. And as far as his losses well when you truely solo with no backup shiat happens. He did get 200 kills after all. I'd wager thats probably a bit moar than moast of the ebil pvpers who strut around the forums especially as they probably had backup.

Maybe you should look at my kills and loses then you see i am truly solo in 0.0 mainly.Plus i mainly fly the wolf and most of the time going after bigger ships then myself. I like a challenge myself. I could careless about how many ships i lose and if you base my skill soely on that them yep i suck.

This. If all he keeps losing are frigates and is killing much higher value targets then even several losses will still not make that high value kill less high value.

yes k/d ratio is important to alot of people but to me i like being on reckless side and if i wasn't i wouldn't have gotten some of the kills i have. But like you guys say i suck.

To be fair if you are a merc corp looking to show your prowness or are wanting to weed out the deadwood in a pvp oriented corp then k/d is a reasonble measure to use. However I would like to think the ceo doing the looking will dig deeper than just the raw figure and takes into consideration the value of the losses vs the kills amongst other things.

ErM ... isn't the whole idea of a solo player to solo play and not interact with people.
To be quite honest solo people suck stop being anti social.

I haven't checked any of the killboards, I'm just taking the argument as it stands.
Reading this thread you do have to summarise success or failure with the ISK balance. However Zeba is spot on, you can't compare the kills of those that are in larger fleets killing smaller ones with those that spark up a rifter and go out hunting solo. Doing that takes a special and increasingly rare type of pilot.

No. It's about having patience for others. The point of going solo is that you do want you want when you want without the aggravation of having to wait around for joe to finally fit that damn thorax and murrey to make it that last 13 jumps to join the fleet or any other concievable delay when you have multiple people acting as a group. Don't even get me started on voice comms with all the lunatics compeating for attention. Also you are free to interact with other people as much as you want in local or some other chat channel or even voice comms if a buddy is on and you want to chat.

kworld i never wanted the channel to be anti-social and i have been in this corp i'm in for long time.I talk to them alot but i just choose to mainly solo pvp doesn't mean i'm anti-social lol. Yes i have more isk lost then destory only because i go out solo and mainly go for bigger targets or end up getting ganked by a fleet. I never said i was greatest solo pvp but i will say there is not many around with my ways of soloing. Alot of you guys look at my stats and think that i suck and why am i making a solo channel but there are others who think i'm a great solo pvp.Just depends on how you look at things.

oh i wasnt taking a shot at u, i was just trying to point out that k/d ratio isnt the end all stat. i have 2 more losses than kills but my efficiency hovers around 90%. and yea most of my pvp comes in the form of small fleet cruiser ops, with the occasional big BS fight. But everyone plays different.
PS T1 cruiser frenzy ftw

So, he made a channel for solo players so they can play together... right.
Would have worked maybe better though if he'd advertised it as "new channel in game for singles", instead of "soloers".

I solo as I helped run Guilds for over 4 years and I'm sick of sorting other peoples **** out. Its nice to be left alone to play how I want to for once with no silly problems I have to deal with.
That does not mean I'm anti social and I realise I'm missing a lot in EVE not playing with others. So one day Ill bite the bullet and allow others to suffer my ego, tantrums, inability to suffer fools and the lazy and all the other defects I have no intention of changing.

Solo is fun times although hard. Kd ratio is essentially meaningless. most people that bang on about high k/d ratios tend to either a) blob or b) not post their losses.

So...
...let me get this...
... you made a channel for soloers to hang out in a group ?
Wouldn't that, like, you know, automatically make you not a "soloer" anymore ?

Actually playing the game and chatting/posting on forums are 2 different things. I can see why some of you are so confused 
I don't generally solo (read: Caldari) but i think its a great idea to have a dedicated chat channel for like minded people.

I play solo most of the time, but that does not mean that I want to be alone in the game. I want to be totally independent and still be able to talk and interact with people.
I want to enjoy the game when it suits me, not only when 15 others can be bothered to tag along. So the channel is a very good idea, indeed!
And yes, I'm an egoistic fool for wanting to play solo. But since I pay for my own game time I also want to spend it as I see fit, not as a feudal corporation leader tells me to. I get enough of that at work!

People solo not because they are anti social
But because they actually want a challenge, they're not afraid to fight outnumbered, 90% of the time you will be outnumbered/outgunned, which makes it fun as hell, you actually get adrenaline rushes in some fights
Any one can align to a celestial and shoot the primary, being a 0.0 solo pvper is by far the hardest profession in eve right now, there are so many tactics behind how to split up gangs among other things, if you can do it and have the balls to do it, it's a good sign that you're not terrible at this game
But 95% of eve has no idea how to do it succesfully, if you don't know how, it's a good sign that you suck at this game
Also, some kills/engagements gives you massive bragging rights like this, although it wasn't completley solo I confess since I was dual boxing

I just like to say thx for those who get the idea. Being solo i am not anti-social i talk to my corp and others i meet daily. Even after fights i talk to my opponents and sometimes make friends that way even if they are red to my corp. The whole point of the channel meant for soloers to come chat and spread ideas.
Even anyone wanting to try soloing is welcoming and i give my advice and i'm sure others would put there input in as well. To the minor threat guy that says i use a falcon alt thats news to me. I have never used a alt in my solo fights. I want to go it alone not have assistance even from a alt.
Yes i also agree soloing in 0.0 is the hardest and takes patience cause you do lose alot ships but you also get some really good kills/fights. Yes i love the challenge that i am all alone and going after usually bigger ships then myself its definitely a adrenaline rush esp when its close. I could care less how many ships i lose and when its close and i lose i give props and am happy with outcome. See ya guys and be safe peace
