evistin Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2006.10.17 09:58:00 - [2] Edited by: evistin on 17/10/2006 09:58:09 Just wondering how many of you actually read player bios? Espcially when you are a new player. ----------- Management and Leadership û The Eve-online Guide

Rod Blaine Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.10.17 10:03:00 - [7] No, I cba reading the average unimaginative obligatory piece involving people doing "incredible" wrecking hits on various NPC's. And since i assume others feel the same way I havent made one either. Old blog
Benco97 Gallente Fedo Appreciation Group	Posted - 2006.10.17 10:06:00 - [8] the problem is that most peopel think it's for posting your wrecking hits and so you get bored after reading the thousandth "you blah blah hits blah for blah" I used to have a big story about my character's past and his hopes and dreams, but that was back in my RP days and it's just some random rubbish now.

d026 Herrscher der Zeit	Posted - 2006.10.17 10:19:00 - [9] as a (mainly) missile user i dont do wrecking hits, so my bio is quite empty:(
Verus Potestas Caldari Fiat Mort	Posted - 2006.10.17 10:20:00 - [10] Yeah, if I have nothing more pressing to attend to. It helps gauge some things. For example, wrecking hits lose you respect. No, I don't care how big your e-peen is. "LOL I R PWN" or variations loses you respect too. Intelligent and/or funny is the way to go. RAWR!111 Sig Hijackz0r!!11 - Immy

Winter Star Back Home In Time For Tea And Medals The Volition Cult	Posted - 2006.10.17 10:22:00 - [12] I tend to read peoples bio's if they have them, unfortunately most people don't seem to have bothered, or have but left their imagination docked at the station Bio pet peeves: 1) wrecking shots 2) "after x's parents were murdered by...blah blah.. revenge..." 3) ascii birdie.... o so funny

All the freaking cliched RP stuff. Although I did see one RP bio recently which had me laughing. Something to do with him being a vampire, it was great.

Dahak2150	Posted - 2006.10.17 10:38:00 - [18] I do, some are quite funny. Others are just boring. Mine's pretty out there. Got.... "Yes I am the Dahak2150 from planetside...(etc)" "If you ever say something that stupid again I'll rip out your skull and beat you to death with it." (Yay Red Vs Blue!) "Insert entire text of opening sequence to Homeworld 2" "The same, but with Mechwarrior 4." ---------- My sig is boring.
Anatolius Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2006.10.17 10:44:00 - [19] It depends. When flying, I pretty much never read them. Bios fall into only a few distinct categories, I've found: - Sixty two page novellas about an RP character's backstory. Some of these are actually quite interesting to read; some of them will easily get you killed if you're trying to read them while puttering about, due to their length. :P Best left for reading while docked. ;) - faction stuff for sale!!!!!1111111111 - I'm a carebear, don't shoot me! - I'm two weeks old and am like feared by everyone! My bio says so! FEAR ME! FEAR ME I SAY! (Usually seen in the bios of very ugly Caldari or Matari characters.) - Random information that one should probably use the notepad feature for, such as NPC resists. Ah, well, I suppose it's at least a public service of some sort. But I imagine some poor newbie getting a new mission, and randomly clicking through local trying to find a bio that contains resist info. :P - Random national flags. - ePeen enhancement spam. (LOL I WRECKED FOR 29482948 DAMAGE ON AN NPC STATION'S STRUCTURE!!!!!!!!11111111111111) "If God be for us, whom can be against us?"

Rogue Roy	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:13:00 - [21] I wanted to write something in-character but was all too well aware that nobody bothers to read anything that is not short and concise. So I have a very short RP piece saying that "I won't shoot you if you don't shoot me", which is correct 90% of the time and then a link to the actual character journal. I have been commended for it many times so I guess people like it that way. I like to read the bios of others but yeah... if I have to read about one more murdered family I will scream.
Taaketa Frist The Praxis Initiative Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:15:00 - [22] I'm a mining director and run a link for most ops. I like my bio. -------------- Dang nabit
mazzilliu Caldari Sniggerdly	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:19:00 - [23] i put quotes from corpmates in my bio unfortunately i ended up removing some because it would earn me a GM warning I'M IN YOUR SYSTEMS. I'M KILLING YOUR MANS!!!
Sral TBear letter of marque	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:23:00 - [24] depends on what im doing, but i use my own to get new clients :) and some random info on what and hows we do stuff i fly with country flag in there, but its mostly used for some random convoes with other Danish dudes, the flag is kinda a....coool..your Danish to and then some small talk

I like to read the good ones, but i fail to create on for myself.
Twistershift	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:30:00 - [26] I always check them, some are great. Actually, I tend to get disappointed if there isn't a bio. =(
Podee Gallente	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:36:00 - [27] My bio is like marmite. I am the Podee you are the Podder. Please pod me.
Ghoest	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:52:00 - [28] I read them but Im weary of reading that silly list of mission %s and npc resists. Especially since the mission break down info is wrong. I completely dont get the wrecking shot notes - no one cares. Wherever you went - here you are.
Porter Hadlend Gallente Righteous-Indignation	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:53:00 - [29] I read them more often than I should. I am usually appropriately disappointed by them. I have a few of my favourite quotations in mine. John Dewey for instace: "There is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals." I also have a few quotations from various interactions I've had with other people who have been disappointed in the level of service I provided them. But no wrecking shots :P Why? Because I don't give a rats arse how much damage you can hit a stationary object or anything for that matter, for. --------------
Eewec Ourbyni Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.17 12:04:00 - [30] Edited by: Eewec Ourbyni on 17/10/2006 12:08:14 ... Having read this thread I have the urge to change my bio... again... Something about NOT being an orphan, and growing up with both parents totally intact, and un-molested in any way... having a completely normal and uninteresting childhood, which promptly drove me into psychoses due to it's utter lack of interest and am now only good for mining omber and occasionally blowing the smeg out of roid rats and ore theives. FEAR the Blue monkeys of d00m.... stock good solid cheese - Edam with the wax still on works well. This is a sig... -- You think this guys post is nuts.... you should see his bio -- ... good, ain't it!
Ishquar Teh'Sainte Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.10.17 12:20:00 - [31] i got quotes from fight club in my bio .. am i cheesy now?? one thing i really like to see is a rp-bio of a "normal" guy/gal - like: beeing born there and there, did some stuff like attending a certain school .. maybe a divorce of the parents ... and so on - either it's too boring to write such stuff or it's too close to reality - dunno the only thing that sucks more in a bio than the list of wrecking hits is a kill-list - which ships you killed (not even like kill-marks on WW2 fighters, but more like a kill statistic) ___________________ -Skellibjalla- Life is a garden of perceptions. Pick your fruit.
Ingvi Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.10.17 12:44:00 - [32] Originally by: Ishquar Teh'Sainte i got quotes from fight club in my bio .. am i cheesy now?? Yes.
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.10.17 13:18:00 - [33] I seem to recall I've a vague character backplot in my bio. Nothing too obviously cliched or angsty. Although I must admit I haven't actually looked at it in quite a while, so it's entirely possible that that's not the case ;)
Sean Dillon Caldari Privateers	Posted - 2006.10.17 13:21:00 - [34] Pirates tend to have the most funniest bio's. Yesterday I read somewhere "PM someone who cares".
Felysta Sandorn Caldari Murder of Crows	Posted - 2006.10.17 13:26:00 - [35] Bios come in handy when you're about to kill someone... Soo many people put their wrecking shots in a bio, and it's good to know what weapon you're about to encounter! 'Ah, so he uses named electron blasters... Time to keep out of web range!' _________________________________________________________
Gone'Postal	Posted - 2006.10.17 13:32:00 - [36] Used to, then they got ever so much, i can hit for X amount. there E-peens are too small guess they need to make amends.
Dirtybones Minmatar	Posted - 2006.10.17 13:41:00 - [37] A nice twist on the old "my parents were murdered in font of me so now I am on the path of vengence" bit. Taken from the pages of Wanted by Mark Millar/J.G. Jones A group of supervillans walk out of a burning house after killing a rival villan (the Dollmaster). Mr. Rictus and his associates are passing the neighboring house when out steps a father with his wife and small son asking if everyone was ok. Mr. Rictus shoots both parents on the spot. Henchman: "What about the kid?" Mr. Rictus: "Leave him. With any luck he'll spend the next eighteen years training himself to avenge these idiots and give me someone interesting to fight when I'm an old man." "It ain't over 'til it's over, and maybe not even then."
Maestro Ulv Phaze-9	Posted - 2006.10.17 14:02:00 - [38] Edited by: Maestro Ulv on 17/10/2006 14:03:18 Yeah I like to read them, although as Rod and others have pointed out already the "I hit with blah blah" are really boring. Sometimes though you hit a good one. My pet hate isn't the wrecking hits, its that damn stupid link that everyone tries to hide in there bio. It annoys me because i Have a link to my RP BIO in mine and a lot of people wont click it because they are used to the lame eve orb crap. I also try to get everyone in the corp to submit a BIO to the website and use it on there pilots info. I think it adds to a game sadly lacking in RP nowadays. I'm not bored, I'm merely in the Queue.
Splagada Minmatar Tides of Silence	Posted - 2006.10.17 14:13:00 - [39] my bio is useful, i even ate it, and it's very recommended ------ relaxed corp looking for members
SadisticSavior Caldari Edenists	Posted - 2006.10.17 14:40:00 - [40] I like RP bios if they are well written. Most arent. Funny and/or intelligent works for me too. Anything in 1337 speak gets ignored. I cant believe that there are still people that think it is novel or cool. It's the 2000s version of jive.
Godar Marak Amarr Return Of Red Dawn	Posted - 2006.10.17 14:45:00 - [41] Originally by: Rod Blaine No, I cba reading the average unimaginative obligatory piece involving people doing "incredible" wrecking hits on various NPC's. Indeed. its quite sad, like anyone cares about how much damage a gun can do as if no one has ever fired a gun themselves.
SadisticSavior Caldari Edenists	Posted - 2006.10.17 14:51:00 - [42] Now that I think about it, I did read a funny one off a passing pirate the other day. It was basically like a questionnaire. "You are going to get your revenge on me for: a) Ruining your game, b) blowing up your ship" ect... I wish I could remember the actual questions he used, because they were pretty funny. It was set up like you were supposed to print it, fill it out, and mail it to him, heh heh
NeoTech Out Siders Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.10.17 14:55:00 - [43] I like my own Bio very much :P and yes, i do watch alot of Bio's
Tommy Vercetti Minmatar Custodes Valhallae Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2006.10.17 14:57:00 - [44] An old corpy mate had "My wife strikes me perfectly for no sex for a month" Apart from that, I hate the rest. Retarded bunnies, russion/english/swedish/french/german flags are yawn, beer trucks, fingers and anything else just makes me want to break down and cry. Originally by: Pestillence It's a game where we fly around in eggs with tubes up our arses. If I want reality I'll go outside.
zeKzn Empire of Destiny	Posted - 2006.10.17 15:07:00 - [45] I read them in the hopes of gleaning some information about what the other guy does, specifically if I'm worried about him being an ore thief. My thoughts are my own and do not reflect those of my Corp/Alliance
Arges Freelance Unincorporated Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2006.10.17 15:10:00 - [46] I read bios every now and then and like most people, I'm usually disapointed with the content. Most bad examples have been given in previous posts already so I won't repeat them. I mu7st admit that I still have a few wrecking shots in my own... I think. They slowly get deleted as I get bored with them. Being part of Ushra'Khan, I wrote up a small story about my character and those who take a look at it will see that I am not the classic parents/self were/was captured by some slaver. Of course, the slaver eventualy got killed as the parents or the char escape in a bold and ingenious way leading him to then lead the life of a freedom fighter to help rescue the rest of his people. There is also the classic "I had some relatives who died from vitoc poisoning and now it's payback time" type of stories. I'm sorry if any of my U'K brothers and sisters have bios similar to what I have just discribed but these stories are too cliche for me not to mention them. My character has had a pretty easy life. Relatively wealthy family living in the Republic. A decent education which eventually led me to pod piloting. Of course, I had to get a bit of Matari fluff in there so I went with the whole "spiritual awakening/my ancestors are sending me on a misson" type of deal. To make a not so long story even shorter, I never felt the whip but I dream about others getting it and I don't like it so I'll help making it stop. I also have the flag thing going but that's out of nationalistic pride as I feel I am more of a Quebecer than a Canadian (although I still have lots of love and respect for the rest of the country). It also might help me get away with spelling and grammatical errors as it shows my first language isn't english.
copymonster	Posted - 2006.10.17 15:21:00 - [47] I read bios all the time. Not enough of them out there though. QUESTION: What about a link in a bio that causes you to basically totally lag out if clicked? This happened to me today. Is this an exploit? I could not close the browser...super super lag. I mean like the whole game just stopped working for a while.
Taicha Lana Creative Industry Division	Posted - 2006.10.17 15:39:00 - [48] I sometimes read bio's. Personally, I have tried to think of a background for my char. I do find it a bit hard to actually roleplay, since I haven't met a lot of roleplayers. Most people just tend to do what they like and talk out of character. Back to bio's, I think it is a shame that not more people think of a good backstory for their char. But I do try to look. ----------------------------------------------- Creative Industry Division

Passcal Darksaber Technologies	Posted - 2006.10.17 16:59:00 - [51] I have the "Cole Protocol" from Halo as my bio, but it's had some minor changes to make it fit in with my corp. some of the new members actually thought I would assasinate them if it wasn't followed --- When I can be arsed I'll make a new sig
TheDevilsJury principle of motion R i s e	Posted - 2006.10.17 17:17:00 - [52] Originally by: Danton Marcellus I do, quick survey on whether the people I check are retarded or not. QFT Bios are sometimes handy, sometimes funny, usually a by-product of having to show info everyone you see in 0.0, and usually filled with complete crap. My bio has a game-related purpose, so I keep it there. Otherwise a clear bio is probably better than a wrecking shot bio... ----------------------- sig below Originally by: ISD I don't think I've ever seen anyone hijack their own thread before

Naim Obeji Minmatar Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2006.10.17 17:30:00 - [54] Oh yeah...wrecking shots in bios are completely lame. You are not your ship or what it does. Personally, I like checking bios when I have time. I've found some pretty darned funny ones on occasion.
Gadfly Hawke G-Tek Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2006.10.17 17:34:00 - [55] I look at bios when there is one. Sometimes, you can glean useful info if it's somebody that you might be fighting. And some are really interesting. My bio reflects my view of the game and I think is humorous, and also includes a lot of good info that is a handy reference for me, like the table of npc weapons, resists, etc. G-Tek is recruiting

Tsanse Kinske WeMeanYouKnowHarm	Posted - 2006.10.17 19:20:00 - [61] I scan them real quick at least. It's amazing how many people give their game away in their bios. Then there's the people who realize that and try to use the bio for "counterintelligence" ...occasionally in a painfully obvious way. I've also read many funny, cool bios. Though most of the RP ones seem to be either godawful long or full of ridiculous cliches, or both. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. -Douglas Adams, writing about EVE
Ehranavaar	Posted - 2006.10.17 19:27:00 - [62] Originally by: Ishquar Teh'Sainte the only thing that sucks more in a bio than the list of wrecking hits is a kill-list - which ships you killed (not even like kill-marks on WW2 fighters, but more like a kill statistic) well along that line i have a list of the ships i've been blown up in so far in the game and the information that i am a nasty grudgeholding type. figured this information might help a person figure out whether blowing one of my ships up was worth the candle.
Varheg Xan Gallente Aerial Boundaries Inc.	Posted - 2006.10.17 19:50:00 - [63] I read bios fairly frequently, either in 0.0 where you're checking info a lot anyway, or if I'm hauling and don't have anything else to do. In my own bio I basically have a recruiting pitch for our corp... I found this corp by reading the CEO's bio, and figured it might help us grow.
Mirage Kisaragi Gallente Warrior Nation United	Posted - 2006.10.17 19:58:00 - [64] Originally by: darklegionca i do sometimes most have helpful info in them others are just funny Agreed. I once stumbled on a bio when I just started that told me basically everything I needed to know regarding agents, I'm sure most of you have also sometime playing EVE as well I usually just skim them when I come across them however.

It's amazing how many people give their game away in their bios. [...] QFT Nothing like reading, "I'm a pirate, YARRR!", then adding the doofuses name to alliance KOS list.
Beef Hardslab	Posted - 2006.10.17 21:19:00 - [67] Originally by: Anatolius - Random information that one should probably use the notepad feature for, such as NPC resists. Ah, well, I suppose it's at least a public service of some sort. But I imagine some poor newbie getting a new mission, and randomly clicking through local trying to find a bio that contains resist info. :P Umm, I did that couldn't remember resists/damage types for a mission I was doing, so just started looking through everyone's bio until I found what I wanted. Hey it worked lol.
Ranar Estraad	Posted - 2006.10.17 21:30:00 - [68] I enjoy reading other people's bios. When I see someone in chat who has entertained me or helped me I usually take a look in their profile. Not only to kinda see what they're like and read their bio if they have one, but also so their portrait shows up everytime they say something. The general bios I've seen are pretty much the same as everyone has stated. 1) The RP bio (I've only seen a couple of those...) 2) The e-peen damage bio 3) The "I'm a badass pirate I'll blow the crap out of you FEAR ME!" bio 3a) As a subset to that you have the "I'm dark and don't care about your feelings I do what I want" bio 4) the helpful game advice bio. I actually enjoy these things. One girls character actually helped me on tanking my shields better. And by tanking my shields better I mean actually learning that I COULD do it.
Yoran Gerel	Posted - 2006.10.17 21:41:00 - [69] If only you could switch off the portrait loading when you "info" someone. Would make life just a tad more lagfree. Y.
Garrick Amorr Hybrid Syndicate SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.17 22:00:00 - [70] I like reading bios, but most of them are pretty stupid. Stuff that makes me laugh is about the only thing I ever pull away or a good RP story, which I rarely find. My bio reflects my religious zealotism that comes with almost every Amarr male, but I'll be doin a update soon. I love RP bios if they're done right, but it takes a good writer. But I did through in the Orb Eve thingy. It gives me something else to do
Cipher7 Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2006.10.17 22:04:00 - [71] I read em sure. Gives an insight into how ppl are. If they include a wrecking hit on a NPC, you already know he's a carebear moron. If they include a long boring bio about their dead parents who got killed by stormtroopers and their decision to avenge their deaths by hunting down all the members of the offending empire, they're former Everquest players. If they include their country's flag, you know they're between the ages of 18 and 35, good looking, highly intelligent, witty, compassionate, resourceful, with a great sense of humor and excellent genes, like yours truly.
Admiral Keyes Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2006.10.17 23:38:00 - [72] I only read a few bios here and there if im bored, found a few great ones over the years but most are rubbish e-peen contests with wreckers. As for my own, its short and sweet. "Anger in a pointless emotion, use all that anger and just smack em!" :D ----------------------------------- HaHaHa! This sig is edit proof! Sadly, it appears so. -Capsicum \o/ I Am Invincible \o/
Mordinn Tharsis Security	Posted - 2006.10.17 23:49:00 - [73] I'm pretty partial to the "Fear is the mind killer" quote that everyone and thier monkey's mom has...I stopped looking at them, and gave up trying to be cool in mine...
Horb Kings of Kill	Posted - 2006.10.18 01:04:00 - [74] The best bio I've ever seen: Your dual eve account perfectly strikes marraige wrecking for $2000 a month in alimony. Can't remember who had that one.
