Vinstere V University of Caille Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2012.10.04 19:31:00 - [31] - Quote I am 17 years old and just started the game this last month, and frankly I think it is great. I'm already forming plans that will take a long time to come to fruition, and the best part about it is that I don't have to play all day long like I did when I played WoW. Given the fact that the game is currently revolving around my own choices gives me the liberty to enjoy my personal life outside of the game more. That said, I really don't understand why the OP seems to believe unless you are 27 you can not enjoy this game. Maybe it will be harder for me to learn some aspects and balance it with school, but I seem to be doing alright.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 188	Posted - 2012.10.07 20:00:00 - [33] - 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.

They're too high and busy screwing the Oldest Prostitute Twins in the World. Vikings live in America, I know, I saw the film. It usually ends with the natives screwing them and then the jealous husbands slaughtering them all. Geometry is the art of throwing handfuls of special dirt or runes on the ground and divining them:P The Catholic Church will send an inquisition team to get you for it, so don't get caught!
Korsiri Mousetrap Building Inc. 81	Posted - 2012.10.08 00:30:00 - [37] - Quote Hrm lemme think about this.... ... Spending time engaging intelligence and problem solving skills -- check! ... Adjusting to changing conditions -- check! ... Avoiding harmful ultraviolet rays -- check! ... Practicing fine motor skills -- check! Yup, looks like she's a live one captain! Course I could be spending my off hours sitting in front of the boob tube, rotting my neurons in mindless 'activity'... because that's an accepted, PC-okay pasttime! God, I love my computer. insert obligatory /oldtymer "In my day, we played MMOs with PAPER and PENCILS!! and we had to beat the paper to pulp ourselves nobody could afford dice and don't get me started on the pencil lead....." rant :P

I've not encountered a 17 year old with this much skill at writing and clarity of thought in years. Well done young sir, and my compliments to your teachers! Resume thread. I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

Well like most 17 year olds on the internet he is actually a 50 year old alcoholic.
Seleia O'Sinnor Drop of Honey 261	Posted - 2012.10.08 12:00:00 - [41] - Quote Sounds good. New inventory: Getting better since version 1.2, but what about back and forward buttons?
Inquisitor Kitchner Galaxy Punks Executive Outcomes 116	Posted - 2012.10.08 12:11:00 - [42] - Quote EVE actually saves me money. The more I play EVE means the less I go out and waste it all on alcohol. Last month I didn't go out at all really, played EVE a lot and saved a couple of hundred quid into my bank account. This month I have been out 3 times already and I have no money left. Basically what I'm saying is your -ú9.99 subscription is the best money saving device ever. It also prevents pregnancy.
Keno Skir Vectis Covert Solutions 230	Posted - 2012.10.08 13:22:00 - [43] - Quote Notice you copy pasted the first part to the newbie forums as well Praxis :P I kinda liked it. Long and self indulgantly drawn out as things always are with Praxis at least this one actually meant something. +1 If you have any further thoughts on something i've posted, or want to ask an unrelated question feel free to contact me by EvE Mail or by private conversation if i'm online.

Hauling Hal The Black Ops Black Core Alliance 94	Posted - 2012.10.08 15:58:00 - [44] - Quote Same number of words as a Jade Constantine post. Less big words than a Jade Constantine post. Was there anything else in the post I was meant to notice that was of any value?
John XIII Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.10.08 17:28:00 - [45] - Quote Worst rant ever.

Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Stealth Syndicate 208	Posted - 2012.10.13 16:18:00 - [47] - 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 22:16:00 - [48] - 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.

Webvan State War Academy Caldari State 99	Posted - 2012.10.18 00:42:00 - [50] - Quote Came expecting a rant, left with images in my head of kittens wrestling in a paper shopping bag. ....although I'm fully in favor of instigating a 17 or 18yo requirement for players from this point on regarding new registrations of EVE accounts. Was that your point? err or.. Not that every kid has problems with the social aspects of the game, but they don't need to be influenced by adults that could care less.

Romvex Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 82	Posted - 2012.10.18 01:01:00 - [52] - Quote i am 15 and this is the best, most immersing game i have ever played. I started my main account a few years ago expecting space COD from watching the trailers, and i also really was interested in the storyline. i have since begun to play the real metagame, and most other players assume i'm an adult. save the occasional sweet dose of trolling, a mature attitude gets you far Are you positively sure that beyond any reasonable doubt that you are not upset, brother?
Smiknight The Plebian Republic 17	Posted - 2012.10.18 03:01:00 - [53] - Quote Mallak Azaria wrote: You made that a lot harder to read than it should have been. Glad to see I wasn't the only one. I had the distinct impression of the format being the literary equivalent of Pulp Fiction. I am what you refer to as a Carebear...I care very much about the future New Eden and Eve and couldn't bear the Chicken Littles destroying that.
Lady Spank Genos Occidere HYDRA RELOADED 2821	Posted - 2012.10.18 07:41:00 - [54] - Quote You do realise what the pulp in pulp fiction means right? (a¦á_a¦â) ~ (my spaceblog) http://bit.ly/RB6X4C ~ (a¦á_a¦â)

Obax Bannon Fidelis Technologies 71	Posted - 2012.10.18 09:02:00 - [56] - Quote Nice post +1 Even tho it left me wondering what it was supposed to be about in the first place.
Wolf Kruol Sinisenkuun Laguuni GREATER ITAMO MAFIA 23	Posted - 2012.10.18 21:19:00 - [57] - Quote Welcome to eve.. if you don't like it. can I haz your stuff. GÇ£If you're very very stupid?
