I was tooling around in Brapelille today and noticed a lot of roleplaying going on in local. Is this a taste of the future of high-sec, roleplaying everywhere? |

Pffft get over yourself
Casual RP is LOTS of fun. It promotes creative writing and understanding of the game's lore and back story. It opens your eyes to a deeper world than what you see in your client and makes you truly feel the scope of the EVE universe, not just the EVE game.
It's why we need stuff like WiS. So people can appreciate the depth of the universe by walking through it instead of having to RP it all the time. And it simply enhances the RP for the ones that already do RP :D
Try it, it's like writing a good book while you read it. The Drake is a Lie |

And what's wrong with that? After all aren't we all roleplaying to a certain extend? Actually is this the future of EVE: A game where people are forced to enjoy the game in a specific way otherwise they get scorned upon?

You know it's kinda funny how at the end of the day, 98% the EVE Forums content as it stands today boils down to players voicing opinions on how the game should be played... or else (fill in the blank).
Whether overt or implied, seems people just can't help but comment on how some other guy is in the wrong, screwing up his glorious experience by flagrant use of methods that are inferior and detrimental to his own. Honestly, think about it. Take almost any thread and find the lowest common denominator - invariably it ends up being a difference of opinion on EVE play.
Really though, isn't it "all good" if it means more subscribers, hence more content from CCP? We can argue the particulars ad nauseum here, but maybe a little more effort to bear with it and less wailing and gnashing of teeth are in order.
This isn't directed at you Some Rando as a putdown, just my own observation. "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." T. S. Eliot -á-á |

Agreed, to a point. But is that all there is?? No room for alternative play? No deviation from the "norm" that is the PvP segment of EVE players?
I just happen to believe there IS room for other types of play in EVE without destroying what sets it apart from other MMOs- that's all. Obviously there is a huge contingent of folks here that believe otherwise...

I like to role play a space pirate by scanning down mission runners and stealing thier mission loot.

No, they are roleplayers, disregard the previous poster. They just do not see the cost-benefit of paying off a extortionist cult a pittance (10 million a year - that's like 15min work to the bot aspirant ice miner) and the cessation of afk mining so they will not be bumped out of mine range and/or shelled by a fleet of catalysts, piloted by zealots who have bathed in the holy light of concord and have found it wanting. |

Why such trivial matters given these grave concerns with the ongoing war and the Sansha incursions?
I could say much more, but I have to send some letters to the families of recently deceased members of my crew from a ship I lost to those Serpentis scum.

Yes... yes it is. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

i don't mind the role-playing, i do mind the bad role-playing. i mean i get it that you represent some kind of new order, and i guess its some kind of cult Blood Raiders style, but for the love of god, PLEASE.... have at least three or four lines of text and switch between one and the other. spamming the same line all the time breaks the immersion, albeit it does convey a message of complete insanity, kudos for that.
also i find the whole thing poorly organized, some guys are clearly in character all the time which is a welcome change to the monotony of local, while some others randomly go in and out of character, randomly spamming and mixing in insults that are way out of line.
you guys should take a note from the Sansha RPers, those guys have discipline. |

When I want to roleplay a neckbeard I log into EVE online ... oh wait maybe I don't need to. |

Wikipedia wrote:Cvnt is also used as a derogatory epithet referring to people of either sex. This usage is relatively recent, dating from the late nineteenth century.[3] Reflecting different national usages, **** is described as "an unpleasant or stupid person" in the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, whereas Merriam-Webster has a usage of the term as "usually disparaging and obscene: woman",[4] noting that it is used in the U.S. as "an offensive way to refer to a woman";[5] the Macquarie Dictionary of Australian English states that it is "a despicable man", however when used with a positive qualifier (good, funny, clever, etc.) in Britain, New Zealand and Australia, it can convey a positive sense of the object or person referred to.
So let me call thee a proper and well grown and funny cvnt, good fellow!

So, bored at the moment, so I thought I would answer questions on what we do (in the knowledge that I can speak only for my particular corner of things and not others), I guess sort of an Ask Me Anything. I'd love to dispel the notion that RPers are do-nothing non-undockers, for one thing, or bad at EVE in general.
In a basic sense, I guess I can say that we're just like the rest of you. We play EVE in different ways, doing whatever we think is fun. My corp in particular is a low-sec pirate corp that RP as Sansha's Nation Loyalists.
So... go ahead and ask?

Miner Bumping - A Cautionary Tale
It was an average day in the ice fields. Several barges floated silently in space, the beams of the ice harvester equipment the only disturbance. Billy Bob, and his identical brothers Joe Bob and Steve Bob, were performing their normal routine of ice harvesting, the same as they did most days. The handful of Serpentis frigates present in the field were no threat to the barges.
But this day was different. From the direction of the star, a bright red painted Maller dropped out of warp, decelerating rapidly. Most of the barges took absolutely no notice of the new arrival. However, Billy Bob was suspicious. "I don't like the look of that Maller" he said. "Joe Bob, Steve Bob, cut your lasers, dock up." Joe Bob and Steve Bob stopped their harvesters and aligned to warp out. Billy Bob cut his lasers off, but could not align, in his inattentiveness, Billy Bob had drifted too close to the ice, and would have to fly clear before warping. "Damn, I'm hung up". he said.
Meanwhile, the Maller pilot, a flame haired, green eyed woman by the name of Malicia, activated her microwarpdrive and swung about to the closest barge that had not noticed her arrival. "lol" she broadcast across the star systems communication channel, as she accelerated to several hundred metres per second. "Collision warning" said her ship's computer as the distance to the barge dropped from kilometres to metres, and then, as the shields of the Maller and the barge intermingled, the two ships were violently repelled from each other, sending the barge careening away from the ice, and out of range of the harvesters.
Finally, the barge became aware of Malicia's Maller, broadcasting a string of profanities. Malicia, smirking in her capsule, was undeterred, and chose instead to repeat her previous transmission "lol", as she altered course to aim for a second barge, who also uttered a string of curse words across the solar system, as it was pushed away from the ice.
Billy Bob was still aligning for warp, when Malicia spotted him and turned towards him, but the distance was too great, and he entered warp just a few seconds before the Maller reached the barge's position. "aww", broadcast Malicia. "Cute." said Billy Bob in reply.
mid warp to the station, Billy Bob noticed an incoming message, pulling it up, he noticed who it was from. None other than Malicia herself. "hi, omg, no-one's ever called me, like, cute before, and stuff. Want to like, have a drink or something?" "sure, why not" replied Billy Bob, thinking to himself, "what's the worst that could happen?"
A short time later, Billy Bob was sipping a Spiked Quafe in the only bar on station that served capsule pilots. He glanced at his comunit, checking the time, when a shadow appeared. Looking up, he saw it was Malicia, wearing a Gallente style transparent red glass corset, bright red hotpants and thigh-high boots. "omg, hi" she said brightly. "Sorry, I'm like a bit late and stuff, it was totally hard to get here, like, I could barely open the door to my place. Some dude said something about atmosphere or something. Weird" Billy Bob mumbled "I like your outfit", trying not to stare, as it left very little to the imagination. "Thanks! It's totally this new thing I got from the NeX store?" said Malicia. "I did not know they sold those things there" said Billy Bob, "umm, can I get you a drink?"
Billy Bob and Malicia spent the next few hours chatting about ice harvesting and spaceships, when Malicia had an idea, "Omg, I had an idea, what if like, I push all the other dudes away from the ice, and you can mine in peace and stuff? you could totes bung me a few mill ISK from your like, profits". Billy Bob, by this time, quite full of Quafe-flavoured mixed drinks, mumbled "Sure, why not." and reached for his glass, misjudging the distance and brushing his hand against Malicia's transparent corset, causing her to giggle. "heheheee, that tickles" she said, "let's go back to my place".
After arguing again with the station personnel, regarding the ability to open doors and move from one place to another on station, the two arrived at Malicia's quarters, where, barely able to keep their hands off each other long enough to undress they [Scenes unsuitable for a PG audience, mostly involving things bumping together].
And so, Malicia and Billy Bob started on a new venture. Malicia bumping Billy Bob's opposition away from the ice by day, then bumping each other by night.
With the profits from the monopolisation of ice products, Billy Bob and Malicia became fabulously wealthy, until, in the fullness of time, they lost most of it after their daughter, who had been mistakenly given director roles, absconded with the contents of the corporation wallet.
The moral of this story, is of course, that the corporation management UI is terrible, that the old style outfits were hilarious, and it is often better to laugh than to curse in local. |

Tib hasn't. My CEO wrote him letters and quarterly reports, and got replies back.
I've had several interesting conversations with the Dev Actor who plays Citizen Ahvar, and TS-F has in the past been asked to show up in local during things like plot incursions to fill local with taunts and so forth. It's a lot of fun.
During the more recent live events, we've taken to showing up to help the traditional allies (however loose that term is) of Nation, such as the Blooders and the Guristas, while showing up to stop the traditional enemies of Nation such as the four empires and the Angels/Serpentis bloc. |
