Some good deeds you could do:
-Scout out camps at low sec gates. Hang out on the high sec side and warn people in local.
-Create a new alt and hang out in the starter NPC corp. Hang out in corp chat and give new players advice. Help them complete any missions that are giving them a hard time. Give them a replacement ship after they lose their first Rifter.
-Hang out in high sec and watch for New Order people doing their spiel in Local. Gank their Catalysts before they can gank a miner. |

I applaud the OP's spirit and wish them well.
People like to carp on and on about how awesomely dark and gritty Eve (supposedly) is but, these same people forget that with no light as a contrast the darkness loses all meaning. All bad all the time is just as boring as all good all the time. A realistic game world needs both. CCP really should remember that as well. |

I post in New Citizens Q & A sometimes with helpful tips and advice.
That makes me one of the good guys, right?
RIGHT?

There definitely should be more options for "good guys"
If everyone is "the villain" is anyone really a villain? |

How is encouraging botting and afking in space a good deed?
More seriously, the best way to be a "good guy" in eve is to help new players. Being active in help chat channels, on the forums, or joining organizations such as eve uni or brave newbies can be immensely helpful. Staying near starter systems, or in npc corps and directing players to such organizations is equally valuable. |

You can be a good guy without being a complete *******. Just look at Chribba, Keith Eaton, and Tau Cabalander: they're all good guys, but I'm sure they've murdered more than a few capsuleers (not to mention NPCs and rocks) in their time... 
Edit: seems the board doesn't like "s c h m u c k" even tho that's not a nasty word... |

for example CVA, they operate on a Not Red Don't Shoot basis so they don't shoot neutrals in their space (for the most part)
CVA are Amarr aligned though, therefor Lawful Evil.

/c
To be honest, I think some PvP folks have got themselves stamped with a "bad" label, unjustly.
I'm not even being goofball, right now. I feel that if you're in a lowsec system, you should accept the risk. I assume that most of the people who live in those solar systems are there because they don't mind being shot, or at least have determined the risk is worth the potential reward.
You do run into the occasional "poor sport", but overall, I have noticed a lot of pilots out in the "less desirable" areas of space have the same attitude towards fighting that I do... that being that it's fun.
So, indeed, yes... my Ferox does honestly just want to be friends. The fact that it's melting someone's tank doesn't change that truth.
I don't think there should be any distinction drawn between a player who shoots other people, and a player who mines asteroids. Both can add equal value to the community, and both can be either good or bad. |

Yes, the next time there is a live event YOU can actually get 10-20 people together and help them understand how to participate in a way better than "Follow blob, warp to zero on every gate, and blindly jump into the shark infested waters of nullsec."

The anonymous nature of this game, especially with alternate characters, allow for everyone to act like jerks pretty much all of the time if they want.
Joining a corporation just to gain trust and then steal everything is more fun than gaming with people you can trust not to do that for some people. I'm looking forward to the day someone will show that trust in me, give me access to everything, and then everyday after that I can specifically not take it. Why? Because I value the relationship with my corpmates as more important than ISK or BPs. Unless they're Tech 2 BPOs. Then, they're mine and nobody's going to stop me. |

Years ago, before I left EVE, I was helping a corp mate with a "life-in-a-box" transport off a region which was assaulted by PL. We ended up in a WH system and traveled to another, and so on, and at some point we entered yet another WH system and were greeted in local by someone.
He said "hi there!" and we were pretty sure that was the end of us. I was in a CovOps ship and my mate had a.... a... Geez, I don't remember. An Orca or something. So we had no firepower or any defensive capabilities to speak of, and he was carrying over 15B worth of stuff.
So we talked to this guy and turned out he was monitoring the WH for neutrals or enemies. We told him our story and he offered to lead us to a WH exit to lowsec; we suspected betrayal but decided to trust him. He not only led us out, but he helped us go all the way to hisec.
He was a good guy. Sadly, I can't remember his name but we were impressed.
But that's the downside of being a good guy; people remember you for far less time than if you destroy their ships. |

Judging by my experience with WH guys, he was so relieved you weren't there to destroy his entire life that he helped you. :P |

No, they had an established system there and it's very easy to close a WH; I think he was there as a scout to instantiate PvP but not against helpless, non-aggressive travelers. |

Why dont you come join us in CVA down in Providence, OP?
Probably the closest thing you will find to *good guys* in EVE.
We give people the benefit of the doubt and allow them to mine our asteroid fields and shoot our Sansha, while we attempt to protect them from pirates to the best of our abilities.
All we ask in return is that they return the favour and dont shoot anyone either.
We have seen alot of elite PVP and pirate empires come and go, yet with our good guy playstyle, we have endured nearly 10 years now. |

Interesting & thought provoking post OP +1
Other than the previously mentioned CVA or anti-pirate groups, I'm struggling to think of any other groups (outside of hi sec) that could be described as aiming for a 'good guy' group play style. |

I don't really understand OP. Title is "Being a good guy", but then OP refuses to define what "good" is to her. Some instances of "good" have been mentioned, but no concrete definition of good is to be had.
I like to think of myself as a good guy in New Eden. I help miners learn about tanking their 200m exhumers and watching local so that they don't have to learn painful lessons with their battleships and such later on. A couple of weeks ago a couple of guys came in my wh system in a Mackinaw and a Drake. Not understanding the mechanics of whs I guess, they didn't realize they collapsed the thing with their last trip in. Since they didn't have a probe launcher between them, I gave them an exit from the wh lest they be trapped forever. I cherish their corpses and the time we spent together.
Sure there was that time a Probe was just sitting in the ore anom, not even cloaked, and I pinned him with my Loki while my friend warped in so we could both get in on the km. But after scooping his corpse we noticed he was only a few days old. So we convo'd him, gave him some tips (stay out of whs for awhile) and gave him some isk to cover the next few Probes he might lose.

No, like for RL, the most valuable asset is time. Trust comes with time (and effort) and is the second most valuable asset. |

There are plenty of good guys. My alts have been with truly fantastic guys trusting a (back in time) newbie (me) with lots of stuff, gifting him tons of goodies and ships and even teachings.
Plenty of people willing to teach valuable stuff both in game and in written (tutorials, software) form.
Even I, try doing a tiny good by managing a charity. An in game => RL charity standing since 2011 in the cold, harsh EvE universe. |
