The Portland Eve people have gotten together once, and we've got another event coming up (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=edit&threadID=1225210&line=38&characterID=835925604), so I thought I'd ask how many of you would be interested in attending local Eve events (to you) - things like going to a bar and listening to live music, bbqs, lan parties, etc? How many of you are in corps with people local to you?
Also, help me spread the rage about contracts and faction/T2 crystals: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1277363

Seeing MatrixSkye being a complete idiot in that proposal thread was pretty hilarious.
Also - why would you of all people join the same corp as Siigari? Christ. I thought you had a clue.

Liang's account has clearly been hacked.
Wrong forum AND in Siigari's corp? _____________________________________________

Pretty funny story, actually - so recently there's been a series of Eve-Portland events going on (ok, I'm organizing the second one... hush!). Well, as I'm sure all of you know (if you've hung around long enough anyway) I'm pretty skittish about privacy issues (IMO for good reason). Well, at any rate - I found out that Siigari was going to be at one of the meetings and I simply could not resist going to ask him in person whether he really GTCs thousands of dollars worth of ISK a month to make the comedy loss mails.
So I wander into CK Terson's house at 8pm or so and there's 6-8 guys standing around with their girlfriends (OMG - nerds have girlfriends?!?!?!?), and it was like 2 minutes before I posed the question: "Do you *really* buy that many GTCs? Where the hell do you work to afford that ****?". Well - long story short, he borrows CK Terson's computer and logs into EOH poker and shows me that he banks poker. And makes **** TONS of ISK. I mean, I like to think I have some pretty sneaky ways of making ISK (if you think I tell all you're bloody insane) - but man if *I* made 3 billion ISK/day for sitting on my ass you can bet I'd be flying officer fit Bhaalgorns around too. There was another Aduro member there, and there's quite a strong local contingent of them, and there was no shortage of laughing about Siigari's many epic losses. Heh, he even said he likes to check the Aduro killboard every day while he's at work to see what Siigari "Eve's First Officer Pi±ata" Kitawa dropped today. There was no lack of laughing - and nor was there any heat or condescension, or any of the other things that I've come to expect from PVP "elite' corps.
So I spent some time on the Aduro vent (NOSA's vent was pretty dead anyway - Hesp and Capt were QA'ing their iPhone game), and it turns out that Aduro is a bunch of cool dudes. There's conflicts (of course), but everyone's pretty reasonable and there's no epic flaming for flying a Stiletto fit that isn't The Corp Approved Stiletto Fit(tm) (which is coincidentally fit by a fitting ****** with **** skills). Basically - Aduro is about FUN where I've found that the more "elite" PVP corps are about WINNING (and not at all about "fun").
Also, as I told Siigari - I'm simply a scout. NOSA flies together - whether we're in NOSA, Hull Miners, or Aduro. If I'm not content that Aduro is a good corp, I'll move on until I find one that is - and it will "inheret" a corp-within-a-corp that has an average of 40M SP and even its own cap fleet.
-Liang
Ed: TL;DR: Aduro seems like a cool bunch of guys THAT FLY IN MY TIMEZONE (this is very hard to find, and very rare). Also, Intigo - I spread knowledge wherever I go. Just you wait until Siigari is fitting sane Officer fits.... (And no, I don't intend to flame him if he fits a stupid one... though I might cry at the waste of ISK) -- Liang Nuren - Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire |

Edited by: Amarr Supremacist on 03/03/2010 22:29:03 Well that certainly explains why he's selling tons of GTCs on the Bazaar.

Regardless, your choice - I would implode from the stupidity within a matter of days.
And no matter how the ship is fit it would still be flown by...well, you know.

Edit: It's not like you play anyway, so what corp you are in is rather moot.

Originally by: Amarr Supremacist Well that certainly explains why he's selling tons of GTCs on the Bazaar.
So I did some research about that (just now). I looked at every character I've ever heard of him using, and it looks like prior to Sept 2009 he'd only ever sold 14 GTCs (mostly 30/60 day, and a sprinkling of 90 days). Then it looks like something very interesting (involving 57 60 day GTCs) happened in Sept 2009 - bringing the total GTCs to 71. Now, if it were anyone but Siigari, suddenly selling 60 GTCs would mean something very specific to me. But since it's Siig that can't possibly be the case. Not that I'm trying to defend Siig here - he's more than capable of defending himself or ignoring us completely. I don't think he cares either way, tbh.
But looking back at his "normal" selling history - I'm not sure that it's any worse than my own. I have never made any secret of the fact that I am a broke ass pirate that hates Eve's PVE content and could barely afford the faction ammo I'm shooting you with. It was honestly more pleasing for me to work extra hours for a bonus than it was to grind away missioning. It wasn't until quite recently that I decided I could stomach running missions (occasionally) and maybe try dabbling in other parts of the market. Man, how things have changed! Not that I have ISK running out my ears (I'm not willing to devote enough time to it for that) - but at least I know where to spend a few hours making billions now. I'm not even kidding with my new motto - missions are for chumps.
But, I haven't been in his corp long enough to really know much about it. What I can say is that I've personally seen (heard - and seen screen shots... he likes screen shots) him running at least two 10/10 plexes. The amount of knowledge that he has about plexing and exploration is pretty ****ing amazing tbqfh - and I strongly suspect that this is the source of his (vast) collection of deadspace mods.
Meanwhile, I'm busy moving my **** around and remembering (again) that you can't contract ships that have faction/T2 crystals in their cargo bay. Speaking of which, MOAR OF YOU NEED TO GO SUPPORT MY THREAD!!!!
Quote: Regardless, your choice - I would implode from the stupidity within a matter of days.
Trust me when i say that the level of stupidity in Aduro seems MUCH lower than any of the big "elite" PVP alliances I've been in. Just because you're the alliance leader's bum sex buddy doesn't mean that you know how to fit a ship and doesn't make you suddenly smarter than everyone else. The level of stupidity in the bigger alliances is staggering. Mindblowing even.
But as I said - the corp as a whole seems very reasonable, and Siigari himself is a very personable guy.
Quote: Edit: It's not like you play anyway, so what corp you are in is rather moot.
I play all the time - from 4am eve time to just before down time pretty much every day. So sorry that your buddy list fails you.

Also, way to derail my thread. It was supposed to be about encouraging local get togethers and fixing faction/T2 crystals. You even went through all the trouble to read the thread and then didn't post support? What, are you some kind of sadist? RRAAAAAGGGEEE!!! Let me contract damaged ships/modules (including ships with damaged faction crystals) to my carrier alt!

Intigo is a terrible poster.
Good luck with your meets. Portland is a little far from the North of England. ~

I've never even looked in the Events and Gatherings forum before. Thanks for posting this in GD! I went and put my name on the Seattle list, although Portland really isn't too far. I head down south to visit the fam every now and then. Maybe I'll run into you peeps in the future.

There was a reason it was in the forum it was in. It would have been better to lock it as non-constructive than to resign it to here.

You post too much.
And if you play on this character you most certainly don't PvP very much.

Your reading comprehension and memory are terrible Intigo. You know, the world would stop stinking so much if you just would pull your head out of your ass.

Ed: And I say that with the utmost respect. You do PVP more than I do (last I checked)... but I PVP much more than the average person and I'm extremely successful when I do PVP. And as you should remember: Liang is not my main (even if I do fly her, and even if I do have ubar skillpoints with her). -- Liang Nuren - Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire |
