Disclaimer: long (possibly) story, but... it is not one of those omg wtf eve crap now i quit post that i just read through... just felt like sharing my experience
Day 1 After I set there and pondered about this 5 day free return mail I decided, oh whatta hell, lets give her a shot. Logged on.. re-made my character (pretty cool by the way i thought)Looks like i left the game in mid flight from Jita ferrying some parts for crow production. Got back home, started few factory jobs logged off for now, had stuff to do around the house.
Day 2 Relocated my skills, checked factory jobs.. not done yet, had to go to work so i log off again... i know, damn this silly real life.
Day 3 ... i know we are finally here :) Looks like factory jobs are done, time to throw some crow's in the cooker. Figured i'll need some cash sooner or later might as well get this production going back up. After that was done started looking around.. figured out what this new currency is that you have to buy with plex cards and than buy accessories, wasn't interested so left that alone. Than I remembered that i had some planet stuff going on so i checked on that, couldn't remember how to get it going so left it alone for now. Well sitting there in my "captain quarters" i thought on what to do next, figured i might as well talk to ta real person now since that what EvE is all about.. this is where it gets.. well interesting.
So I un-minimize the chat window from the bottom left corner of the screen. Looks like i got 3 channels open: Local, Corp (which is my newby corp since i was kicked due to inactivity) and this channel called Night Hawk ops. This was my former corps extra channel i guess, figured like a good place to start, so i say hi, nothing for a while but than folk wake up, and do keep in mind, i'm just saying hi, my 3rd day back into my 5 day trial, not sure what i'm gonna do yet.

Nothing interesting right... thatĘs what i thought, small talk thatĘs it wasn't aiming for anything else... but but a split second later i get a private convo thingy. But before we go on with that tid bit guess i should fill in on why I quit eve so abruptly. Some time ago, few days before Christmas I was sitting on my couch in my apartment watching a flick with my girlfriend. Happy times, got a new job, it pays more, girlfriend moved back from California, about do close on my first house allz is goodz. Around 10pm or so my cell phone rings, it's my mother... it's late so i figured i should pick up in-case something is wrong... and i was right. My mother in a very asked me to rush to KU med hospital, something happened with my father. When I get there a police officer takes us into the room and tells us that my father, at his works Christmas party walked in, poured gasoline all over himself and proceeded to use the lighter. He lived, lots of amputations, skins grafts etcą. we are fine now. So anywho, now my higher paying job is not so good anymore, have to help mom with bills now so she wonĘt lose her houseąspeaking of, there goes my first house. Had to move with my friend who didnĘt charge me any rent so I can help my parentsąblah blah long story short EvE was not anywhere on my mind, plus every penny counted now.
Ok now with the chatą I didnĘt feel the need to share any of this in the private convo or here butą wtf im never going to see any of these people and I really donĘt care of they know my personal lifeą. Even though I did meet a good friend though EvE 5+ years ago and were even roommates for couple of years. So I get this convo: I remember this guy because we chatted on voice comms few times about DUST 514

Making the assumption that all this is true, and if it is I sympathise with your pain. However, this really isn't the place to be posting this. If you want to get some sort of closure or need to talk about it then talk to someone in real life about this, not a good idea to post this sort of thing on a game forum populated by random emo-dudes from the intertubes.

Najovia Destis - first let me say that in the 45+ years I've been breathing, I've run across plenty of dark souls. People who for whatever reason have lost their way along the path of life. Najovia, hold fast my friend and remember who you are. I grieve for your father and for your relationship with him. ItĘs hard to know what drives a man and in my case when there is nobody driving at all. Choose to focus on the warm memories and the love I'm sure he has for you. I wish that I could hand you a "blue pill" and make it all better. You will make it.. your metal is strong. Stand and then stand more.
Re: TNT .... pfff. Just another pebble to kick out of your way on the path thru life. There are so many positive people along the journey. Not worth the time. All that being said it always amazes me how selfish and myopic people can be. And the anonymity of the internet tends to bring that out.

What's the point of this ego trip?
Be it for serious reasons or simple boredom, you quit for a year and are now surprised because you got kicked. I'm sure most corporations on most games would do the same and would happily re-invite you when you start playing again. But what I don't get is, are you REALLY surprised when an almost complete stranger doesn't believe you when you say "father set himself on fire" as a reason?
Looks like the usual "look at me" garbage, so typical from US players who confuse public forums as their little personal blogs. Sorry about the "accident" of your incredibly smart father, but you'll soon realize most strangers dont give a **** about your personal problems. I know I wouldn't talk about this kind of stuff on a public gaming forum. You know, ever heard of family and friends?

I hardly think stereotyping players from the US is appropriate here.

well that is because you >missed< the point. His first real greeting in this "game" was from someone who was so wrapped up in eve and their own little world to realize that neither they nor eve were the center of his world and had been merely a minor diversion from it. His personal story was an attempt at being civil and answering a question posed that was none of their freaking business.

Originally by: Tacyon His personal story was an attempt at being civil
"Being civil" doesn't equate to throwing a highly unreliable story at a person who probably doesn't even remember you and then proceed to cry if said person doesn't believe you.
Not saying his story isn't true. Just saying I, for one, would not believe some internet stranger telling me his father set himself on fire. Not on eve, where the initial stance toward strangers is considering them a troll, a spy, a thief or all of the above.
If he was interested into re-joining the corp, he could have easily explained his long absence without going into unnecessary details.
Also, when a thread starts with "just felt like sharing my experience" I think I can feel free to share how most people on a gaming forum probably don't give a ****.

I've had many conversations with TNT and flown with him a few times. He's a great guy really. As far as I can tell he saw you chatting in one of our operations channels, when you are not part of the corporation, probably not set to good or excellent standings and wanted to know why you were there.
Meh not my problem anyway. I'm sorry for your loss but telling a complete stranger your dad set himself on fire is kind of weird, and the tone seemed to me like a sarcastic remark. Probably more appropriate to claim family emergency/problems.

From what I read I don't get that the OP was QQ for sympathy. I think he just wanted to share a story that may of taken him a back for a second. It doesn't seem like its that major of an issue to him. Seems like he's just trying to get an understanding on how the TNT fellow conversation went the way it did.
I do see how someone explaining the fire thing could be a little unbelievable when first heard. So him calling bull**** is not too strange. Him prying is strange, but its too simple to avoid that.
Best advice forget that guy, he's a half-wit. Play the game when/how ya want. Plenty of other Corps out there for you.
As for the US player confusing forums for "life support" channels. I've seen plenty of "stereotypical" post on these forums. From the troll, flamer, to your US QQ's and your Euro ****ty English threads.
It wouldn't be cool if every Euro got hammered for their poor translation to English when posting on forums.

I'm sorry for the tragedy that befell you, but it is a little unbelievable when you just blurt it out like that in chat. So this TNT guy is a wee bit of a jerk - they're not exactly rare in Eve or online in general. Or RL for that matter... I'd ignore him and focus on the good stuff and flying with friendly folk.

In all my life in Eve, TNT 1 has been nothing but a stand up guy. It looks like he was just grilling you to learn if you had any skeletons in your closet. I think he every right to be cautious as a CEO as to who he lets in the corp. Finding out why you are no longer in your previous corp is part of the interview process.
Your such a drama queen.

If your whole issue is about chatting to a CEO and them hurting your feelings, whats the DAY 1 - 3 crap? Are you writing a novel about it? Eve might be real, but is not a personal blog.
Personally I think that corp dodged the bullet not letting you in, if you turn a chat into a novel, you probably would just create more drama with the corp mail system. I know your type.

Gee, I didn't see anything too strange about the convo,
Those things can be a bit strained as with mutiple things going on and a differences in peoples speeds of typing some people take them more as telegraph messages wherre a parcity of words is preffered.
Also, maybe the guy wasn't having the best of days and had gotten burned in corp (reccent corp drama or theft or whatever) and was on the terse end of his own spectrum.
Also, I hope you ARE trolling but if not , the family tradegy there and its method is at the far end of a spectrum and perhaps life is more strange than fiction but I just haven't heard that sort of thing much. Certainly if he had been in a car accident or a work related accident and you said as much it would have been less likely to be greated with a sarcastic response. (and even I am unsure whether to take you on your word given the very nature of communications in the game where hyperbole and stuff are pretty common and it would be hard to take such an unusual tragic story at face value given the probabilties in game).
But hard to roll back the conversation to see how it would have went had it started off a bit better.
Props to you too for doing what is right for your family. Take care that your mother and your own life doesn't get sucked down too far into the tradgedy.. you have lives to live though and make sure a mental illness doesn't have those intense ripple effects ... you may need to say a kind of goodbye .

It sounds like your issue is TNT 1 mistook your reason why you left as sarcasm. I really don't fault him. Most people don't offer up that kind of personal information as willingly as you are, so I can see how it was taken that way.
TNT 1 is one of the realist people I know in this game. I think he was just being cautious as to why you were in a private corp channel and were no longer in the corp.

What an *******.. typical callous non-American that has no concept of the depth of our society. The variety of our culture may be a hard concept for you, but the phrase you have seen one and then you've seen them all does not apply to us. and btw you spouting this crap is a cry for attention to yourself in anti American propaganda. Then calling out the op for venting about something in general chat about himself is bull ****. Its "general" chat.
@ the OP sorry for your loss. Remember to concentrate on the good and not *******s like this.

Depht of our society? Are you serious? Rambling about personal problems on a GAMING forum with total strangers means being "deep"? To me (and many other people apparently, but you conveniently ignored them in your nerdrage), it just means you have your priorities completely messed up.
So what did you get for breakfast? Would be a very deep and interesting topic.
