I left my old corp- it was disbanded as the directors went in other directions.
I scanned the noob channel as I'm now a member of a starter corp.
I saw a guy who wanted a new cruiser having just lost his ship.
This is the convo- I changed his name to prevent anybody scamming his new found wealth- which is perhaps a lot to him. He is a genuine noob & knows nothing yet about wicked people like Jonny 101.
Pteranodon > Hi Selected Toon > hello Pteranodon > I was just monitoring the chat channel & saw that you wanted a cruiser Selected Toon > well, yes, though i dont remember that Pteranodon > I'm a bit of a christmas entrepanuer- so how much ISK have you got at present? Selected Toon > a couple millions only Selected Toon > i losed a cruiser yesterday LOL Pteranodon > that's not enough- If I send you 100 Million you can buy some skill books & get trained up properly Selected Toon > LOL i don't expect that. Pteranodon > I'm scanning the channels looking to sponsor people like yourselves. I've been in Eve a long time & I dont expect amything for it back. I'm sponsoring 10 new people for Christmas & your 1 of the ten. In fact the first Selected Toon > wow! Pteranodon > Hang on- I will send you the ISK now & in many years you might just remember me Selected Toon > indeed. i'd love to remember you Selected Toon > no kidding! Selected Toon > man, is your name santa Pteranodon > check your wallet! Selected Toon > aye i see it! Selected Toon > santa arrived early this year LOL Pteranodon > No catches- no payback- no stolen ISK- its Christmas! Selected Toon > what am i supposed to do now? Selected Toon > donate some to charity? LOL Pteranodon > Now I go & pick some more guys & girls who need help- enjoy & have a very happy Christmas & new year Selected Toon > just kidding. will train my char up and buy a new ship Selected Toon > thanks! Pteranodon > Dont donate to charity- buy skill books to train yourself properly- now brag in the corp channel how good some EVe players can be Pteranodon > Enjoy! Selected Toon > you mean no or now? LOL k thanks Pteranodon > now!! Selected Toon > kk Pteranodon > bye for now
So we have a happy new player & the spirit of Christmas floating around me, & you know what- it was a good feeling to do some good instead of ganking a noob!
Happy Christmas to you all- noobs & veterans. I will continue looking & oh don't contact me but I might contact you. Only to noob characters created before this post will be looked at by me, we wouldn't want you getting any ideas now would we.

Not at all. In fact my posts have been quite minimal. Amazing how even Christmas can't help miserable roaches like yourself now crawl back under your rock & accept the post in the spirit it was posted.

It's kind and generous of you.
Kudos to you for showing some noobs that not everybody in the EVE community are whiny negative bleeding tw*ts like the posters above.

I don't see any boasting in my post. I'm proud of my reputation in Eve & all the people & corps I've helped. Made a lot of very good friends. Shame your not one of them because you'd know that my intentions are always honourable.

It's a bit of gloating, this thread, you cannot deny that. You should be doing good because of the good, not so you can create a thread about it on the forum. But that doesn't take away you have performed a very generous act. And hey, we all gloat sometimes. You don't want to see my chat logs from when I got my first Hulk... -----

You could interpret the post like that. The real meaning that I want to get across is that whilst Eve is a harsh cold place at times there are some warm spots & not necessarily caused by a laser eating into your hull. If everybody sponsored a new player we would have more player retention & that can only be a good thing.

Very nice story, I too like to give free stuff once in a while. I love the feeling of it. Knowing that I made someone very happy is just a great thing to feel.
Dont know if any of that make sense, Im very tired and english is not my main language... Anyway.
Fun fact; My very first battlecruiser, a brutix, have been given by chribba himself, and at that time, I didnt even know he was a famous EVE player.
Now, if I could get a carrier or a malchariel for christmas I would be very happy!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND AN HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!... a little early but it was my last day of work and Im glad its over for at least a week. :P
Cya around.

Edited by: db T on 23/12/2009 01:21:46 You don't end up in a startercorp if you leave a player one. Just fyi.
Oh, and +1 whoever have told you off for being an attention *****. If you want eFame for being "generous", do it properly like what's-his-face who gives 1bil a week to eve-university.
e: blablabla christmas feelings <3 <3 and so on... Get a haircut. |

I want an Amarrian faction BS to use in my missions and to fly around giggling how awesome it's paint-job looks! Apocalypse/Armageddon both look cool - but I wish they came out with an Abaddon faction BS instead - that'd be so much OWNAGE.
Unfortunately, we both know we won't get these presents from the EVE Santa

But it is ok to boast about tears? Your logic fails peon. In true x-mas sprit I hope for you to gain a mind that will make you a 100mil to give away one day.
@ OP; Cool Story

I for one am glad to see this. I don't have the ISK that you do but it inspires me to do the same.

This thread is huge phail!
Giving 100mill to a starter ruins the game experience imo. No need to struggle towards getting that next ship which you cant afford unless you do x more missions. Now the poor noob most likely have reduced intencive for playing the game and he will jump into a battleship before he has achieved enough experience to use one. Maybe he will even waste time and to level 3s in a battleship.
Again, OP is phail!

Eh, I'm pretty sure he didn't do it with the intention of making a thread about it, of all things. It's a huge boost for a new player though, I mean two days a go I went into wormhole space in my new destroyer, in the third one I was scanned down while I was probing and completely determined on getting this 99% sig to 100% when all of a sudden BOOM, I was just an egg. I quickly warped to another bookmark, then left back the way I entered pretty annoyed at how stupid I was and how I'll need to do another ten missions to replace it all, not a fun prospect. Then the guy opened up a convo to me, realised I was new and told me to be more careful in the future, then gave me 12 mil ISK for my ship. I was pretty made up about it.
I could have gone without it, and to most people that's pocket change, but it showed me Eve isn't all about being kicked in the face, repeatedly, and it bought me a nice lot of skillbooks that I can really benefit from. Made me realise how unpredictable and dynamic Eve can really be, which just isn't in other MMOs.

Well, posting a thread about it was a little bit gloatful but still, good for you mate.
Goes to show that not everyone in Eve is a hardass.

Which says more about your greedy and jealous character... :0)
I donated most of my 1 billion to people around me, some which I don't even know... The rewards from such acts are fortunately bigger than Complete (re)Tarted comments like yours...
Now my challenge is to earn all that money back, which - oddly enough - makes me stick around to the game, play a LOT with frigs, destroyers and cruisers, find other creative ways to generate ISK...
Anyways, Happy Xmas all. Keep the spirit or whatever you're holding on to up!

I've given Isk to noob miners I see in the belts. Nothing more heartwarming than seeing a less than week-old player in a Tormentor chipping away at some veldspar.
Reminds me of when I started, and my first ship loss at the hands of belt rats.
In fact, I think I'll put a Santa hat on my Hulk and play Kris Kringle tonight when I get off work.......

Saved as a text file, this thread is already almost 16kb of righteous opinions. Figure it can't hurt to add mine to it.
Good stuff, Pteranodon. Something different and unexpected in the harsh world of EVE.
