Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 125	Posted - 2012.09.11 23:31:00 - [1] - Quote If you want to meet interesting, twisted, obsessive EVE players especially of the unrepentant addict variety come to our ingame public channel: Vomitorium Emporium We invite people from all across New Eden to the Vomitorium. New players, old players, the valorous and vile, terrible and true, we invite them to the Vomitorium Emporium. You don't have to join anything, you just have to want to meet new players. hear you there. Letter to corps and recruiters to invite them to the Vomitorium Emporium How to Use the Vomitorium Emporium I invite between 50-200 people a day into the Vomitorium Emporium. Almost all of these are members of NPC cprps. They are both very new and very old players. Alts. Both are our audience. By inviting people into the Vomitoirum Emporium we are pre selecting for an audience receptive to meeting new people. This is so important its easy to overlook. The people who do not want to chat with new people who are not interested either do not accept the invite or they leave. The people are left are a "captive audience" who have given us the first go ahead to interact without which any efforts are almost certainly wasted. This is an invaluable resource. I make it available to my friends because someone should get the benefit of the 98% of players I reach who do NOT want to be part of SFSC. How to use the Vomitorium. Send alts to the newbie systems and have them invite everyone to the chat room. Rent offices in the newbie systems. Have your members in the Vomitorium. All of them if possible. Have recruiters in the Vomitorium. LIst the Vomitorium Emporium as your public channel in your corp ads. (An empty public channel is no help to you.) If you must have your own corp recruit chanel, invite prospects from the vom or wherever into it. Any more ideas would be appreciated!

Surfin's PlunderBunny Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 2153	Posted - 2012.09.11 23:41:00 - [3] - Quote I'm in that channel ever since I got an evemail inviting me to the vomitorium emporium. With a name like that how can I refuse? "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame. A hero drinks a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that if he does a split in midair, he can hit twice as many zombies per kick. Drunk hero wins again, wusses." ~Cracked.com

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 131	Posted - 2012.09.14 21:20:00 - [7] - Quote What to Expect In Nullsec Nullsec is fun. Nullsec is where 10% of the players of EVE live and its the place where 90% of the stuff that happens in the game happens. Its also a lot more challenging than hisec; and more exciting and interesting. Its where almost all the hardcoriest players play at least part of the time. I was one of the people who was completely intimidated by nullsec and now I feel silly just remembering it. What are you giving up when you leave hisec? Well mostly you are giving up the luxury of Playing EVE with only half your attention. People as a rule don't attend mining ops while watching movies in nullsec. You simply do not use autopilot in nullse. You don't get to play on mental autopilot either. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org
Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 134	Posted - 2012.09.19 02:43:00 - [8] - Quote Assembly of Conscious Thought A Breakaway faction of the Society of Conscious Thought. The issue that caused the schism was over the importance of players. The Assembly accepts only applicants who are players. No NPCs. Members of the Assembly of Conscious Thought pledge themselves to the following principals: We like to be aware that we can do more with an MMO than just entertain ourselves. In addition to having fun playing the game for the sake of the game we enjoy being alert to opportunities to learn. These opportunities to learn are inherent in how the central nervous systems of we gamers interact with the virtual worlds we inhabit.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 149	Posted - 2012.09.20 23:37:00 - [9] - Quote EMOTIONAL INNOCULATION #1: Any time anybody says (or does) anything that causes you to be angry--stop. Assume it is a trap. Breathe deeply. Consider the options. (This is especially fitting in instances where someone in your group tells you something that causes you to be angry at anyone other than them.)

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 153	Posted - 2012.09.22 19:40:00 - [10] - Quote ELEVENTH METAGAMING EXERCISE: Separation of the map from the territory. The thing is not the words that describe the thing. The menu is not the meal. What you believe about the world is not the same thing as the world. Every single time you are confronted with someone who disagrees with you, with information that is in contravention with your current information, especially beloved cherished longheld beliefs, monitor how upset the particular incident makes you and exactly what it was. This includes personal insults and accusations. These are particularly instructive because as we all know, you don't get upset at anything anyone says unless they have touched a nerve. A good agent can tell far more about someone than that person knows about themselves in a relatively short conversation just by tracking these reactions. Bonus Insight: It is awesome, really truly awesome, how much information you suddenly get access to once you can see past your own reflexive reactions. Second Free Bonus Insight: This is really just an elaboration of the Golden Rule exercise. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 153	Posted - 2012.09.23 14:10:00 - [11] - Quote SEVENTH METAGAMING EXERCISE: Concentration. Effective spies operate in states of intellectual and emotional uncertainty that would normally be crippling. One of the only actual defenses against this is concentrating on what you are doing at the moment. Concentration, as opposed to say, bitching and whining, is in itself an adaptive habit and it serves as an excellent distraction. You can get into the habit of encouraging a heightened state of concentration as soon as you log on, for example. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org
Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 157	Posted - 2012.09.27 21:32:00 - [12] - Quote Only one lasting, immortal and eternal truth stands above us and the welter of our philosophies like the Colossus of Rhodes over the white waves: God is irrelevant. My task is identical if there be a God or not. I must live as a moral human being. Only a child would believe that killing the creator of the universe would free them from that responsibility. If the world is indeed merely a random fleeting flaw in the Nothing. If everything we are and everyone we love will slip into death's dateless night beyond the bleeding hands of love or memory or myth. If above the ecstatic lights and agonies within me there is only nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing at all. It is all the more essential to remain myself. And what I am is a human being. And if I let go of that I lose the only thing I have in the face of the nothing and I become part of the nothing myself.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 158	Posted - 2012.09.29 16:43:00 - [13] - Quote Uh oh. Rant coming on. OK. I'm going to say this once and only once and then get back to being "reasonable." I don't want to hear it because this is EVE. I know you've played other MMOs. I've played those too. And they were great. But they were made for kids. EVE is made for grownups. You play it the way a grown up plays. With patience. For the long term. And you have the option to play EVE almost entirely for the metagame, and that puts it in a class by itself. It takes a lot of real life skills to play EVE well. Kids don't have a lot of real life skills so they don't like EVE. They need ingame skills. They need to be a 500 Level cybermage and they need it in 3 weeks. They can tell you a lot about how their Sword of the Biggest Male Member works but they haven't got a plan further away than the next 2 hour adventure because in their MMO they don't need one and that's great.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 174	Posted - 2012.10.01 11:43:00 - [14] - Quote Most of the people who never make it past their trial accounts are people who don't want to play EVE. What I am concerned with is that smaller but critical group of people who just need to hear a friendly voice to explain to them, "There's not much you can do right now in the game." This how a trainer in the first corp I was a member of with my first character in my first month put it to me when I asked him why I kept getting killed whenever I tried anything but mission running. Suddenly the light bulb lit. It was my expectations, my timeline that was off. Not my playing ability. So I asked if I could do any volunteer work to help run the corp. I was told that there was nothing someone with my skill points could do to help run the corp. Now, as someone who had spent much of his adult life running volunteer organizations in the real world, I immediately understood that this was just not true. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org
Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 175	Posted - 2012.10.03 11:54:00 - [15] - Quote All Players You will be part of a team where everyone is respected for the game they play. Lack of alliance infrastructure means we all keep our ISK to buy our own ships and play the game of our choice. We will have to respect you. If we are not running things to your satisfaction and you can't make the Alliance change however it is it would have to change in order to accommodate you, your corp can just leave. You are still in NPC nullsec or hi sec or wherever and you have as good a claim to the place as we, your former alliance. Nobody has to take bad treatment from some feckless geek at his computer keyboard with delusions of adequacy because he can kick their entire corp out of "his" alliance and strand all their stuff in now hostile space. Gentlemen, I say to you with all due lack of decorum: screw that. There is absolutely no reason you have to put up with that sort of thing in your computer game and we won't ever again if we can make this work. And we'll have made something that will demand better EVE play from all of us, right through to the top. Now that's saying something.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 187	Posted - 2012.10.04 18:35:00 - [16] - Quote Gorn Arming wrote: If you don't get new players into PvP quickly, they're going to leave. PvE in EVE just plain sucks. Well I've not been a fan of PvP since early in the game but I know people who thrive on it. And I know people who think the indy side is too boring for words--they'd be bored just saying how bored they are by it. And then there are the people who find neither of these quite right. They are looking for the metagame. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org
Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 188	Posted - 2012.10.07 19:50:00 - [17] - Quote Step 2: Recruiters and recruits. Get your recruiters into the newbie systems. You can do this with alts quite effectively. You drop and drag links to your corp into local chat and start bantering. Invite everyone in local to your public channel. for an example of a public channel see our Vomitorium Emporium. Your public channel should be stocked with all your members possible and make it mandatory for recruiters and officers. Do yourself the favor of having only one public channel. You public channel should have all the necessary links, Skillpoint and other requirements, names of recruiters, voice comm info, etc. By inviting people into your public channel you are pre selecting for an audience receptive to meeting new people. This is so important its easy to overlook. The people who do not want to chat with new people who are not interested either do not accept the invite or they leave. The people are left are a "captive audience" who have given you the first go ahead to interact without which any efforts are almost certainly waste. Let your members know before you are inviting new people for them to have fun bantering with and they will help you just by being their usual wiseass selves. You job is to move them from local to the public channel, to your corp, to voice comms, and finally to your roster of people who have assignments or at least are showing up on a semi regular basis to stuff.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 206	Posted - 2012.10.10 12:56:00 - [18] - Quote More About The Meta Game 1. We are using dramaturgy to build our selves as individuals. The idea here is to use your character as a tool with which to force yourself to grow. 2. The Neurotechnicon is meant to serve the interests of everyone who reads it. 3. I am remaining true to my calling which is tricking people into learning things about themselves. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org
Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 209	Posted - 2012.10.13 16:14:00 - [19] - Quote SECOND METAGAMING EXERCISE: As you log on, remind yourself that you are playing an agent. Which exercise will you be working on today while playing EVE? Can you get yourself into the habit of working on one or more exercises the whole time you are logged on? Maybe to start only when your infiltrator character is logged on.... Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 210	Posted - 2012.10.17 22:13:00 - [22] - Quote As an industrial player in nullsec you are going to have to be thick skinned. And have your escape route, one that does NOT depend on any alliance based jump bridges well planned. Make safe spots all along the way. Keep them private. Make them corp safe spots only at the very last minute. To any alliance executor reading this if you think allowing this kind of thing to go on makes you look like a leader or is helping you build a better alliance all I can say is you obviously know your members better than I do so keep up the good work.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 219	Posted - 2012.10.28 12:14:00 - [25] - Quote Termagant (TM) Program For Female Players Open only to that rarest subsets of nerds: the biological female player of EVE. There are no double standards. Equal work for equal pay. Succeed Or Die Screaming Regardless of Age, Racial or Ethnic identity, Alliance Affiliation, gender, sexual identity, differently abled ability, the same standard is applied to all employees. Instead of being a Jabberwocky, an oddity, a target for unconscious adolescent inadequacies, a different species, an alien (Is Venus a Lava Planet then?) you will be judged on how well you play the game. Equal Opportunity Employer Praxis Astra and the management of HAMA pledge to treat every single employee without exception like a pawn, a piece to be moved around in a larger game to be tossed aside from necessity, spite, or boredom. No discrimination. No glass ceiling. No hostile work environment. And, of the manager who thinks they are important enough to ignore our Because We Say So (TM) Sensitivity Training, no trace left. Equal Work For Equal Pay A female player (I'm told) is in a position to put the Hearts and Minds strategies to use with terrifying and exhillerating ease. You don't have to be a woman to know that all you have to do is unbutton your top button and he won't even notice you've led him to the air lock; and if you just unbutton one more while you hack through the safety overrides; he'll stand there, hands and nose pressed against the window, eyes wide, mouth open, waiting for you to unbutton a third. If you can flush 4 victims through airlocks in the time it takes a male agent to flush 1 victim, you get paid for 4 and he gets paid for 1. Anything less is discrimination or, worse, an incentive system based on something other than results. Have you ever wanted to be a Catherine? a femme fatale? A Medina who stops at nothing at all in order to achieve the ecstasy of the perfect revenge? Trick question. You already have. In Real Life. (Its called dating.) Now you just have to decide if you have the nerve to do it in a computer game. C'mon. You know you want to. And its low in unsaturated fats. And its delicious.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 223	Posted - 2012.10.29 15:26:00 - [26] - Quote I heard a new player say to another, "...so what if shuttles are basically useless?" Useless? Well. It depends. How much do you value your time. I mean RL time as well as game time. The shuttle, along with the fuel we would need to keep our ships moving, is one of the very few things that CCP has handed to us as freebies. In the universe of EVE, where moving every nut, bolt, and molecule of oxygen has its costs, the shuttle is not something to overlook. First, the things often cost 20-100,000 ISK. Often in hi sec at prices for less than the seller would have got for the ore itself. Of course shuttles are usually used in hi sec but do see use in null as well. Second, if you have your Navigation to 5, you can get 700+ M/sec. With speed like that, its one of the few ships that can make a long trip using autopilot in less time than back to back episodes of your favorite sitcom. (Leaving aside, for the moment, the question of who has time for TV when you play EVE.) Third, as far as targets go, they really aren't that impresssive on a killmail. What I do is make sure I've got shuttles at any base of operations I'm staying at, and use them to go between. Yes, you have to have the money to have duplicate ships to make this work. But it does work. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org
