Reaver Glitterstim Dromedaworks inc Test Alliance Please Ignore 1416	Posted - 2014.05.23 19:22:00 - [1] - Quote Kijo Rikki wrote: Mine's pretty straight forward, or in this case backward. From right to left meet first name and last name. I don't see it. My name goes back to the early days of the internet. I've always been the first to prepare for the long term, so I wanted my first email username to last a long time, to always suit me and never be taken by somebody else. I initially chose SpikeFromPhobos (Spike was my nickname at school and I liked Phobos, and considered myself to not fit in with humans), just because I didn't have a lot of time. I mulled it over for the next few weeks and eventually came up with The Reaver of Darkness - that's my permanent name on the internet and it has been so since before Youtube existed. I dropped my old email and went for that one (minus the spaces). While brainstorming for esoteric words to use in the name, I thought of the word reaver, which I had seen in Starcraft initially and later in Soul Reaver (this was before Soul Reaver II). I looked it up--a reaver is something that takes something away forcefully. The word bereft is based on it. I thought it sounded cool and slapped darkness on and was thinking ooh that sounds neat, but I'm not a reaver kind of person and I'm not dark. But then I realize it can mean I take away the darkness. So that's officially what the name means now. I spread the light of knowledge and work to get rid of the lingering darkness of close-mindedness and bigotry. I couldn't fit my name into EVE, so I used the short version for my first name and for my last name I used one of my WoW characters, Glitterstim (Farstriders US), named after that spice drug mentioned in Star Wars books. The official story behind the name of my EVE character is that while growing up in Clellinon, he came across an old tale about Glitterstim, and he abandoned his birth name for the name Reaver Glitterstim as he intended to be a miner. He didn't know what would be out there but as he lived a sort of sheltered life, the only sort of treasure he was familiar with was Glitterstim. And yes, if you're wondering, I do come up with the stories for the names after I come up with the names. I do a good job of covering for it though. P.S.: I have been accused of taking the name from Soul Reaver II's darkness font, as well as from the reavers in Firefly. My name predates both. Trivia: I discovered Soul Reaver II by looking up my name on Google. I would show off that only I came up in the search, until one day Soul Reaver II was the only thing that came up in the search. I was furious and considered suing them for theft and misuse of intellectual property. True story. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander.

You look like Sibyyl. Genius. Don't disturb Project Dominance. Solecist Project wrote: ISD Ezwal wrote: Please be advise that spamming the forum to get your name to show as last poster on every thread in the first index page, might have consequences. Please refrain from doing so in the future as this can be quite detrimental to the state and well being of the forum, especially if more people start doing it as some form of competition. Do you even realize that you are breaking the forum rules? Or are you immune to them? Solecist Project, I am making this off-topic post to explain something to you about off-topic posting, what is permitted, and what is not. I won't make ISD Ezwal post this snippet from the rules: 26. Off-topic posting is prohibited. Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued. When you make a post related to another post in the thread yet not related to the thread's topic, it's fine as long as the branch topic doesn't go very far before returning to the thread topic. This is different from making a post lacking content just to get your face in on the chatting. I looked through the posts you made which "Project Dominance" warned you about--hope you don't mind the minor invasion of privacy. While some of those posts would have been fine by themselves, posting several like that at once really makes it look like you're just posting to post, and that activity is prohibited. Sometimes I feel the need to post for posting's sake. In those cases, I find something to say in response to the topic, even something simple, that at least furthers the discussion a little. Also, I try to limit that activity because the real purpose for posting here in Out of Pod Experience is to have fun talking about things. You can make individual threads in which the topic is just spamming, if you wanted. Threads like 'The Like and Get Likes Thread' and 'The Off-topic Thread' have a unique topic that allows for posts not normally allowed. ISD Ezwal is bound by the forum rules just like we are, though they apply a bit different for him being within the Interstellar Services Department. But he was not spamming the forums because each post he made in response to yours may have had the same wording but they were all addressed to your individual posts. At no point in time did he post them in excess. Also, I would suggest you try to avoid speaking negatively of representatives appointed by CCP: 4. Personal attacks are prohibited. Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated. Furthermore, CCP Devs can permanently ban you from the forums or even ban your account from the game for making any personal attack on any member of CCP, and I believe this extends somewhat even to GMs and ISD. If you wish to discuss ISD Ezwal as a topic, that is fine--just make sure you do so in a civilized and non-condescending manner. https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Forum_rules For anyone who is curious, my first post in this thread is #29 on page 2, and ISD Ezwal's first post in this thread is #16 on page 1.
