Found the original on reddit posted by paxnoctis. Tweaked it to my own tastes enjoy.
Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 2013... Join a Corporation. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, joining a corporation would be it. The long term fun to be had by joining a corporation has been proved by scientists, Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice, now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your frigate. Never mind, you will not understand the power and beauty of a well-fit frigate until you're well into a terribly-fit battleship. But trust me, in 2 million skill points you'll look back at your Rifter and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility really lay before you And how fabulous it would have been to have strong fitting and T2 skills.
You are not as skilled as you imagine.
Don't worry about losing ships, or worry but know that worrying is as effective as trying to out mine a 10-Hulk mining bot operation in an Osprey.
The times you'll really lose ships are apt to be times that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you halfway through a hisec autopilot route on your Orca alt while you were looking at **** in another monitor.
Do one thing, every logon, that scares you.
PVP.
Don't be reckless with other people's ISK (where they can see), don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
D-Scan.
Don't waste your time on nerd rage; sometimes you're ahead, most of the time you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with your own inability to unsubscribe.
Remember that time you totally pwned a guy off the gate with your SB fleet. Forget the times that you lost a tengu because you had the wrong subsystem fit. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old kill mails. Throw away your old loss mails.
Train AWU 5.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your character. The most interesting capsuleers I know didn't know at 2m SP what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 75m SP characters I know still don't. And besides, there's always the character bazaar.
Be kind to your reputation... you'll miss it when it's gone.
Maybe you'll go to null sec, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll start a WH corp, and maybe you won't. Maybe you'll get scammed out of your first billion ISK, and maybe you'll do the happy-chicken-scream on comms when you get your first Titan KM. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. YouGÇÖre only playing a space game. But so is everyone else.
Enjoy your fits, use them every way you can, don't be afraid of them, or what other people think of them. Quite frankly they probably suck at fitting too.
Read the right-click menu, even if you're sure what you want isn't there. Do. Not. Read. The. EVE. Forums.
They will only make you feel bitter.
Live in New Caldari once, but leave before it makes you soft. Live in Lowsec once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Roam.
Accept certain, inalienable truths:
Jita will scam.
FCs will welp fleets.
You too, will become a bitter vet. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when YOU were young:
Everyone held on the gate.
FCs were capable.
and there were no spies.
DonGÇÖt mess too much with your remaps, or in two months you'll be stuck mapped CHA/INT/PER for the next year.
DonGÇÖt expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a sweet BPO collection, maybe you have a Trade alt, but you never know when either one might get robbed.
Be careful whose contracts you accept, but be patient with those who supply them. Contracts are a useful form of trade, and using them is a way of fishing the old crap out of the corporate hangar, dusting it off, lying about where you got it from and selling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on joining a corporation. |

Not so sure about the joining a corp thing. Maybe, "Update your clone" would be better.

I stopped reading early into it. Was it a song?
I like where it starts though. I suggest a small tweak. At midnight the ball drops when it turns 2014 (either Eve time or your local timezone) all participants should awox their new corp. It would be a celebration Eve players would not soon forget. We could call it... awoxageddon... a term coined by my dear friend Sabriz Adoudol.
*edit* perhaps we could award a priceless Ishukone Watch Scorpion to the winner of the best awox. It is a rare ship of unknown quantities in existence.

The original song is linked at the top. Which is amazing in its own right. The wall of text that follows are lyrics to the song adapted for eve. |

I see, thanks. So many people have linked me so many completely terrible videos that wasted valuable time of my limited life that I have become youtube link blind. I will check it out later. Thanks again, I thought it was another one of "those" threads. LOL
