Eve OnlineGǪ.so, I am sitting in my office, and my buddy comes in and says Gǣhey, ever play any online games?Gǥ Right, so I was likeGǪ38 when I tried my first online game. I think it was some form of D&D but with pixels and a bunch of sperging nerds doing repetitive crap, like mining to make cod pieces and fishingGǪ..
Then he said GǣDude..it is a cold, harsh game man, like you can really **** people off and kill them. But I need your help, I need you to shoot the rats, and keep them off me while I mineGǪ.Gǥ
I am like, right on, so I am thinking I am going to be in this cave with a head lantern and a shot gun shooting GÇ£ratsGÇ¥ as my buddy mines for whatever. Sounds like the other game, but I get a gun so I am good.
So, after an agonizing number of hours of trying to down load the game via the telephone modem, I get the game fired up and low and beholdGǪit is a space game. GǣA SPACE GAMEGǪ. WHAT FORM OF NERD SPERGING CRAP IS THIS!!!Gǥ
My buddy says, GÇ£itGÇÖs cool man, just give it a chanceGǪGÇ¥
I gave it chance, and I learned that learning skills suck donkey balls. And I found out it takes FOREVER to make money to buy anything that has some sort of teeth. Of course, my dual tank, split weapon systems was the ultimate poopsock, and was ready for anything.
We ended up in a GÇ£Ghost CorpGÇ¥ apparently as the guys from the GÇ£warGÇ¥ with m0o, One, and other peeps I could not grasp nor really care about, hide out and recoup their losses or take a break. Soon after I had an issue of humping rocks, and could not for the life of me understand how this is GÇ£funGÇ¥
It is relaxing they said, it takes the edge off they saidGǪno, it drove me nuts, my leg is bouncing up and down like a jack hammer and I had all the attention span of ADHD squirrel. With that and my already crappy grumpy attitude (Grumpy comes in later in this game for real), we started our own corp. Now we are talking, no more being a sheepGǪnow letGÇÖs build somethingGǪGǪright back out humping rocks.
My buddy, realized I was getting itchy so he took me out of High Sec into Null sec. And then soon after, a long 2 hour trip, I was caught, and rightly popped and podded back home. And I loved it!! It was awesome, I am like GÇ£Why the fGÇÖ!! havenGÇÖt we been playing this part of the game??!!GÇ¥ And then answer I gotGǪwell, we donGÇÖt want to lose stuffGǪGÇ¥
I was beside myself and jumped into the autism pool called the GÇ£Recruitment ChannelGÇ¥ and met Alpha Omega. Which later he turned out to be a scammer and what not. But was recruited into Igneus Auctorita. A corp I grew to love, and later became the GÇ£The best worst corp in GSGÇ¥.
https://eveinfo.net/wiki/inde~164.htm Click this to get a basic general idea of who we were.
Ended up as a director of Igne, as the COCEO and CEO GÇ£disappearedGÇ¥ after they ended up in some resort in NZ or something and something to do with a cabana boy and a ski pole. How that ties in, have no clue.
However, I had my hands full with a corp full of autistic squirrels. Loved each and every one of them. However, they all saw me as being Grumpier than Dead Tear, and I became envious of the GǣNewbeeGǥ that flew tackle on fleet opsGǪ
Nope, what I had to deal with is my peeps trying to **** off our allies, starting the EBAY war and having Sesfan, Darius, The Mittani and other notables climbing all over my ass for my special snowflakes being terrible pubbies. I have no doubt why my CEOGÇÖs bailed and went skiing with the cabana boy.
During that time, I would GÇ£escapeGÇ¥ to lo-sec and solo kill/pirate or whatever. Essentially, I would go up, and suicide gank in hi-sec or lo sec just to relax. The high light is to get some dude getting irate as I take out 3 of his mining barges with my plated disco Raven, and he sends me warm wishes like GÇ£I hope your a$$hole seals shut and you die of intestinal blockage!!GÇ¥ With that I was able to go back to the grind of running a Null-Sec corp in an Alliance that truthfully was one of the funniest times I have ever had. The amount of meta gaming was amazing, loved it.
Got involved with Black Ops with Goons before the advent of Stealth BombersGǪ..yeah we had some wild fits from Pandemic who were teaching us not to be so crappy. And we utterly gutted alliances with a hand full of our toxic grinding and killing of their sheep. It was so much fun.
So looking back at how I started, and now in semi-retirement, I am so glad I finally learned the fun part of EveGǪ.
