Fairly certain that "Invasion of Normandy" doesn't mean anything other than d-day for Americans either. Or anyone else.

These offerings aren't really a list of commonly used, or even commonly understood terminology in this game. If accuracy isn't important for your paper, I guess that's easily overlooked. The commonly used terms are the same used in all MMOs, and of course things like T2, or "shield tank, armor tank (my personal favorite) hull tank!" Most of these other terms are insider terms associated with cliques, and "I guess you had to be there" remarks, all of which would have to be explained to the majority of the player base.
An anthropological oddity would then be how these players really think these things are common parlance in the game. What they reveal is how cloistered players tend to become by hanging out with "people like me" (which is very prevelant in EVE) and dismissing or ridiculing "people not like me" (which is equally as prevelant.)
Given this, I somehow doubted the veracity of the OP's request. It seems if a degree in anthropology was reliant upon feedback from a narrow sampling of players as represented on this forum and especially in General Discussion, then it couldn't be a very prestigious degree.

I intend to amass a number of "terms", and then test them in EVE itself, this is just a preparation stage =)

It's an EVE cliche reply whenever someone says they are quitting EVE.
Add to contextual reference list:
"Kyonoke Pit" = synonymous with "place to be avoided at all costs"

"If a European person hears about an event "Invasion of Normandy" he/she will identify it with WWII ... ... therefore it is possible to say that different communities have different community consciousness."
This is the literal ****** of all possible TL;DRs you could have given. (so many puns in two words and it get's censored -.-)
It makes me question your integrity.

I don't remember the Normandy getting invaded. Must have happened in Mass Effect 1 or 3, I haven't played those yet. Thanks for the spoilers you bunch of jerks.

I don't know what all these others are gabbling about.
There is just a few important things:
"Jen is right" "We all hate Jen" "Mr Epeen is awesome" "Troll bridge." is a titan jumping instead of bridging
Some useful terms:
"Focus fire" "Stop shooting blues" (when they target those asking for repairs) "Logi help!" (when blues are accidentally awoxing each other) "You fraking spai!" (when someone accidentally warp disrupts the fleet commander or jams them so they can't broadcast targets) "Tears" (when an FC stands down a fleet and hits the bottle for the night) "Naive numpties" (the guys who do free services to help an alliance, are never thanked, constantly asked for more and get dragging into petty hierachy games) "KM whores" (most of the fleet that are flying sebo interceptors to shoot as many targets as possible to get on many kill mails.) "SeBo" (Sensor Booster, which helps people to lock a target faster so they can wh'ore on more kills) "Clueless newbie" (those few that pop up in a major fleet and you have to train on the fly while rushing into and during a fight) "Miners" (those things you see only for a second before they flee like cockroaches when you turn on the light) "Tourists" (those guys that come in little gangs, pairs or solo that people can't be bothered fighting because they are more hassle than threat)
Hope that helps.

SOV is stagnant because Low Sec is not the next step from High Sec and a viable place to grow alliances to the point they can challenge Null alliances.

No, it's just an expression of the attitude that the game will not miss you if you quit. In other games the people on the forums might beg you to give it another chance, you might really come to love us, etc. In EVE, the attitude is that you've got to have the right kind of mettle for this harsh universe, and if you don't, can I have your money and ships before you go? |
