I used to be good at eve. Then I joined shinra. Then I joined RKK. Then I started my own corp. Then I went BACK to RKK.
I'm still recovering.
And then you went and joined :NESW:
I'm a bitter vet troll (it's true, Jade said so) that cares only about my killboard epeen. And frankly not much is actually untrue about that statement. I'm still about as ****ed off as I can be about them nerfing my Claymore (I'll give you that my 15k/s vaga was a tad too much, but come on, my Claymore can't break 3 now and has no place in a nano gang), remember when warp to ten made PvP better but my places window much worse, and got into EVE thanks to a combination of the GHSC article and that one I can't find anymore about the guy who ripped off a bunch of people by setting up an IPO to purchase an Armageddon BPO right when BS first came out. Ganked a Goonswarm Stabber in lowsec in my failfit Vexor and never mined a roid again.
Currently live in 0.0, and as you (Clamdongues) probably know am in an alliance that focuses strictly on small gang pew pew and if I may say so myself are pretty damned good at it. In my free time I spy, troll, steal, scam, and otherwise find new and creative ways to spawn more of the sweet sweet tears that make EVE the only MMO I've never unsubbed from since the first week I started playing.
A special thanks to all the CCP devs who support griefing, ganking, stealing, spying, and all of the things that make EVE unique in the universe of MMOs, and please for the love of all that is holy, never ever change your views on it. The day any of the above are seriously nerfed is the day I quit. Maybe that makes me a bad person (I'm actually a pretty nice guy IRL, and would happily buy a beer for anyone I stomp all over so long as I'm secure that they won't cram the pint glass into my face once it's empty), but I love the laissez-faire attitude EVE has on this stuff. I hear stories about WoW where people who do the equivalent of a corp infiltration/hangar theft get banned and the group that gets ripped off gets their stuff back. Never let EVE sink to that level!
I watch the tourney so I have a good idea of what other teams are fielding and what fotms are and how to counter them, because I love the tourney and want my teams to do well.

This plays a big role for me. You can watch a perfect counter get fielded and the countered team will somehow pull a win out of their ass thanks to a combination of quality FCing, quality piloting, and a poor show from the counter team. Watching instances where a team that's down to 2 ships turns around to win the match make the tourney worth watching. And frankly, no rules can make that more or less likely to happen.
