I was chatting to a guy I know at work today and we got onto the subject of games which led me to mention Eve (obviously).
He said he used to play the game back in Beta in 2003 with a corp called M0o but hadn't played for a long time. It turns out it's the M0o who caused such mayhem when the game first got released:
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/M0o_corp_(Player_corporation)
He used to fly under the name of Corvanhillo if anyone remembers him.
For a while, at the start, these guys appear to have been superstars in Eve and have the dubious honour of being the only corp to actually cause CCP to directly intervene in a combat situation.
He remembers the game fondly. I thought that was pretty interesting. |

I joined the game too late to appreciate M0o, but the stories I've heard have always been appropriately epic. Guys like them are what make EVE stand heads and shoulders above other games in terms of history and community.

Just a regular IT guy?
Surely there must be some aura of awesomeness surrounding him....

m0o (to spell their name correctly) were one of the most awesome and legendary corps in EVE Online.
I was around as a player back in 2003 when they were at their height, and I've never seen a corp so coherent, so focused and a corp that works so well together in combat since.
Some of the biggest names in the history of the game were part of m0o.

Sounds a lot like m0o used game mechanics to their advantage, much like James 315 does these days.
Would that be a correct observation?

I remember them well. They where about the only people I use to see in 0.0. Usually gate camping.
I got a few nice kills from them, very early days

Theres a bit of a difference between an 'organisation' that represented a very real threat in the game, and someone who is at best, a min(er)or nuisance |

Accounts change, characters change, but the spirit of m0o lives on. The terror of the Mara/Passari camp, the tears of victims, the ransom and delicious iskies.  |

So..when you two leave the building after work, you will have to do something for him.
When you pass the door, grab his head and violently smash it against the doorframe, then grab his wallet, scream "Ganked!" and run away as fast as you can.
No matter his outside reaction, deep inside he will appreciate it.
It's the least we can do to honour our valiant veterans.
It's what he would have wanted.

Oh, carebears threatening with suicide would actually do it?

That's an awesome idea. Of course, to truly honour him I'd have to recruit about 5 guys from the office to put the boot in afterwards. |

My first podloss (when there were no medical clones) was to j0rt in late May/early June 2003.
I doubt many of m0o remember him as he left the game after about 3 months.
He was the guy in the (very first) battleship who got "moved" 40-50 jumps away from Mara-Passari by devs. No wtz then so it took bloody ages to get back. |

I remember mOo, had a great war with them up in Fountain back in the FA days as well as their other piratical activities.
One of the all time great corps of Eve. |

Ouch, and that was before you could buy wtz bookmarks too. I remember feeling like a champ when I used to gang warp my group of noobs and land straight on a gate. They all went "ooh" |

AMA = Ask Me Anything.
We ask him questions and he answers them.
An interview online.

Not a dance then. That sounds like a much better idea.
You know, he just might if I asked him nicely (so before the wallet thing). But what forum would we use? He doesn't have an account any more.
I suppose he could reply through me but it would have to be over a lunch break. |

Awesome..that was exactly my idea.
In won't have internet for a few days now, but I am sure that there are a lot of people in here who are interested in what he has to say....
