Being such a focused scientist, and having carefully selected my agents' topics to optimize my odds (ie. not the most popular ones), I did receive a couple of those offers - before they decided to close the lottery.
And at least one of those T2BPOs offered were extremely valuable...
I decided I was better off selling those while they where still peak hot, and with a good bit of negotiations, informal auctions, etc. I managed to turn them into an amazing fortune!
From being a simple but hard-working miner, I had now turned so filthy rich there were, simply, no longer nothing I could not buy.
Luckily they had just invented capitals, so I got myself the one ship that would become my passion - an Obelisk. One of the very first ones in game.
It was time to leave the career as miner. So instead I started investing in the most expensive industry I could find in game - Player Owned Structures. Lots of them!
And, of course, all those POSs also required a Moros...

That poor Obe' must have some dents on her Hull by now and those poor nanobots must be feeling a little worn and abused :)
Fear leads to unresponsiveness, unresponsiveness leads to suffering, suffering leads to podding, podding leads to anger

I started establish myself as one of the largest traders of advanced materials.
Not only did I have a fuel consumption in those towers of over 1Gisk/week, and some well-payed haulers to do the refueling, I was also using the market to increase my turnover and make sure I could satisfy my customers increasing needs. Delivered on steady basis to their doors.
It was good profit.
Eventually I got tired of those POSs. They where simply too much work. Way too much work. (Please remember this was back when the towers had a fuel hold of one week - and could not be accessed by freighters!)
I had now established myself with a great business reputation, and I had managed to make more money then I could ever need.
I was in need of a different challenge...

Its a shame to see you move on after all these years but new challenges can be exciting. Its been great knowing you while i have been in game and wish you luck.
Hopefully this character will be picked up by someone who can do it justice.
Bump to put it back on the first page where it belongs.
cheers

So I became CEO of a corporation I had spiritually founded about a year earlier. (I still love you guys! I hope we remain in touch!)
As a hobby I used (perhaps abused) my money to experimentally manipulate the Jita market, making speculations and marginal profits. (Some days I was investing vast amounts of isks, to get in economic control of some particular popular item.)
My time as leader was good fun. I was very appreciated, we made many friends, invented many new approaches on things and the corporation was generally successful. Somehow the spirit of the corporation also seemed to attract intelligent players. Creating an even stronger leadership core and spirit.
It was probably my best period in EVE.
Eventually this successful corporation also turned into an alliance...

At current PLEX cost of ~280misk, 5 years worth of skills alone is at least 16.8bisk, then add the character standings, research points, and an Obelisk -- one would have to invest a massive number of hours for all this. If I had the cash laying around, I'd jump at the chance! |

... and that became the last landmark, before K'man retired.
A landmark that now ends My long story of K'man.
It is now up to you guys, who reading this, to, within the remaining six hours, decide who is going to continue this story...
Good luck, and happy bidding!

I do find it quite sad that this legend of eve is leaving.
Good luck in your real life business!

It is rare that you'll find someone who is selling a character of this magnitude and with this kind of skillset. The RP listed is literally worth billions alone. I'll be watching this one closely as I have two 2003 characters I may be offloading. Good luck folks.
