I'm sure you all have had similar experiences in which things you do in EVE are done in real life almost instinctively from how much you have played the game.
Let's hear those stories!  |

When you run at full speed toward a Coal Miner in the attempt to stop them from mining.
Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows. |

... I hear the beeping of a reversing truck and think that the car I'm in is critical shields.

... you only check the forums once a week or so.
... you really don't care about training 30 days at a time about a skill.
... you really don't care about an ice nerf because you have enough fuel on hand for a couple game years.
... you train ship classes you'll probably never fly just because you can.

- When you end up marrying your CEO in real life
- When i hear this song and instantly replace the lyrics with this
- When you check the corp forums, EVE forums and EVE mail before you check real life mail/news.
- When you have to put down rules along the lines off "No EVE talk around the dinner table"
- When you meet random people in real life with an interest in computer games and you instantly think "Oh a potential recruit! Sweet!"
And with so many people being unhappy with threads like these showing up on a regular basis...Why don't just sticky it?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |
