I wasn't impressed then, and I'm not impressed now.

Corp theft was going on since day one, "other people" did it in a low key fashion over time, pulling more isk/assets over time and not attracting attention to themselves.

You clowns were nothing but attention whores...

It happened before I came into the game in 2006, but everyone was still talking about it. At that time, 30 billion ISK was still an unimaginable amount of ISK. Makes you realize how far EVE has come in those 8 years.

Whether you're impressed with heist itself or not, the story was a compelling one and it brought many, many players into EVE. Among those who game but don't play EVE, its one of only two things they seem to know about the game (the other being It's Hard). CCP should have given the participants lifetime memberships on that basis alone.

Also, props to OP for working those same e-fame skills to move their story to the top of the pile. If it isn't one of the ones chosen for CCP's multimedia campaign, I will be very, very surprised. How smart is CCP with this multimedia push? They're selling the idea of a fictional character becoming famous in reality for doing fictional things. Excellent marketing.

What's a guiding hand, and why does it have a social club.

Istvaan's Eleven.

While not as big (and possibly even true) of a scam, I much prefer The Great Scam. I read that and instantly started playing Eve.

Yes, this was the reason I started playing . . .

And then, a year or so ago, I saw a GHSC member can baiting in a recon ship outside of a station. It was a rather extreme letdown.

You guys remember when I was relevant, and not just roleplaying all the time about being relevant?

Do you?

DO YOU??

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME???
