Well i figure it's time i let people know my background. I come from a Gallente mining family, at a young age i lost both my parents, and my eye to a mining 'accident' engineered by a rival Caldari corporation. After that i was taken in by my uncle, who was also a miner. It was there that i met my cousin Gyra. After working the mines for a while we realised that planetary mining just wasn't going to compete with capsuleer roid mining, so we decided to aim to become capsuleers, our decision may or may not have been heavily influenced by watching an advert whilst hammered in the pub. He wanted a better life, i wanted a life. I enrolled in the academy and after some seriously hard work i made it. Since then i've been drifting in Caldari space running missions for various agents, but i've now returned to the federation. My life's not a complex one, and i'm not a complex person, you could say my most unique characteristic is that i believe in eartholgy, and i have an interest in old story books. |

I find this a curious behaviour that I've observed more and more often on this fora.
I have to wonder where this strange predilection for sharing one's past with complete strangers of a sub-culture infamous for their ruthlessness and violence has come from. I'm nigh on certain that people I meet in my day-to-day wouldn't dream of sharing such sensitive information with me, lest I do the sensible thing and use it against them; Not that i'm complaining, of course. Knowledge is power afterall.
By all means, please continue.

In my case i don't know about others, i have left out all names other than one, as to why i gave you my past, i do not know perhaps i assumed that knowing my background would reduce the chance of misunderstanding my words, and aid in knowing where i stand and what i stand for. I see little way in which you can use what i have said to harm me, unless of course you know the name of my parents' killers, which would be hard without first knowing my parents names. knowledge is power, but its with names that youhold power over others. |

Knowledge of your background allows educated guesses as to your motivations, fears and desires. These can and probably will colour your exchanges with people privvy to this information and not necessarily to your advantage. Posting it publicly, in my opinion, is a rather large mistep knowing how Capsuleers are generally liable to behave. I would simply argue for caution on your part and any who would also openly share their background. You past is your own and you would do well to share it only with those you trust implicitly as it could well leave you more vulnerable that you believe. |

Give the poor pilot a break. He's just saying hello.
Don't let the silly peoples turn you off, Mr Wickonian. Often you can expect a negative or cynical response from the IGS whenever you attempt to start a discussion that's not some lengthy, deep-thought-provoking, mind-numbing dribble or argument about politics, religion, slavery or some abstract current event. I believe the simple, sometimes personal, stories are far more interesting and I don't see any dire information in your post that would make me believe you'll wake up one morning to find a decapitated Fedo head beside your bed, and the likes of Mr Khayr standing over you.
He seems as depressing as he looks and kinda paranoid also, that one. Is no surprise that he comes across as a recluse, ah. Many pilots take the liberty to introduce themselves on the IGS after enlisting in the program, not to mention that public CONCORD or corporate databases on many capsuleers are easily accessed by almost anyone.
Certainly sounds like you've gone through enough to earn your position in the capsuleer program Mr Wickonian, and your enthusiasm to reach out is admirable in my opinion. If you feel like you're wandering right now without a defined purpose, do not worry. For many of us it takes much time to find our niche, or a path to consistently dedicate our daily efforts too. There is so much to see and explore once you slip inside your capsule. Do not let your freedom become it's own pressure, sir.
Your interest in "earthology" is also a little intriguing. Is not my thing, sir, to be honest but I do have a friend who is very interested in the topic himself too. Very intelligent man he is with many theories and stories that I fail to comprehend, along with an eccentric nature that takes quite some getting used too. Perhaps I should introduce you sometime, ah? GÖí -á-á Major (Ret.) Caldari Naval Militia Gÿá -á Sky Fighters | Just an innocent explorer! pâä -áHerrbert: "womwomwowmwoaugharwajwowoooommm"

This man has the right idea. The vast majority of capsuleers are insane socio- or psychopaths. You will find some who are not and I encourage you to work with those ones and keep each other safe, since you will be the flickers of light in an all consuming darkness. However, do not give this information away to the 'public'. You will not like what happens. |

Ms Dusette, I do not mean the lad any harm. I am simply a practical man with what I feel are realistic expectations of my peers. Do you help a man by telling him white lies to avoid wounding him in the short term or is it better to be forthright in an effort to prevent greater anguish further down the line? I take the latter view.
It could well be considered depressing or paranoid (I am of firm belief that some small amount of paranoia is healthy) but I don't feel that lessens the worth of the message; Caution. |

I don't see caution in your message sir, just paranoia.
But since you invited the young pilot to continue giving you Intel I take it that it is a field of interest for you?
I enjoy talking about myself and would be happy to tell you my life's story if you like. Help you get a file started on me. I bet you work for Interbus, ah? I always knew they come for me one day.

All information is of interest, you never know when it might become pertinent. With regards to who I work for, it would be remiss of me to reveal that, given my stance on this topic. I'm afraid that I will not be rising to your bait. I've said my peice, people can do with the advice as they like. |

I am unsure as to how a mining corporation in the Federation could have a rival corporation in the State, or why they would bother to engineer an accident upon a (apologies) simply family of miners several light years away and across a rather hostile border?
Are you sure it was not some rival Gallente company who simply pinned the blame on the Caldari? I hear that blaming the Caldari for everything bad that happens is quite fashionable these days, after all. The sound of the Amarrian heart |

If it was, indeed, a cross border incident, I'd have to ask who his family managed to **** off that badly. |

i am unsure on alot of things during that night, i was a child at the time, as for it possibly being a Gallente corp blaming the Caldari i find it unlikely as i saw the men responsible that night, in their full uniform. My parents were not the only casualties. i used the term accident as that was what the government called it, an unforeseen tragedy, 'such accidents can happen, mining is a dangerous trade and we are fortunate more lives were not lost.' if it was gallenteans pointing the finger to the caldari, why would they claim it to be an accident on the official statement, equally why did they not announce the truth. i do not know, and i doubt i will ever know, but i know what i saw that night, and it almost cost me not only my eye but my life as well.

although i do not believe my family was the reason for the attack, if they were, the only reason i could think of, and it seems unlikely, is that my mother was formally a caldari citizen, before she married my father, but as i cannot believe this is the reason, as my mothers family is on good terms with me, and always attends the anniversary of her death. they loved her and my father. |

You became a capsuleer.
