IcemansMiner	Posted - 2003.11.05 11:16:00 - [1] Hi All The game has been on for well over 6 months now and I thought I would post about some of the more colourful characters I have encountered in game. Indeed as the characters are what makes the game to be true. Who are your top 5 favorite ones you have heard of or encountered? This is a fun thread and also a bit of an ego boost for guys that work very hard at developing interaction with their characters in game and in their playstyle.. Mine are 1. Soul Reaver Man I have heard about this guy a lot. I have encountered him a few times and heard of him lots with his encounters often against ridiculous odds. I even know of a time in the old Venal wars when he went up against at least 7 SPVD and TTI. Engaged them and still managed to escape intact! Always a gent even under loss of a BB. A very very well played character indeed. Possibly amongst one of the best PvPers in game to. I dont think he has ever lost a 1 on 1. 2. Setec Ah yes a pirate :) and why not he is a great character and one of the first pirates to actually pirate like a real gent. A Great pvper and tactician and a gent of the pirate fraternity indeed. One to watch long term to see what become s of him. A great leader for SPVD which is reflected in their reputation I think. 3. Morkt Drak Man who has not heard of Morkt in EVE? Again a real gent and a very well played character in game. I hear he is an ex copper to in RL and it shows in his play style and professionalism. What would we do without Morkts specials at BBB?? I was so sad when he left and so happy when he came back. This makes a great character when he affects how you feel and you miss him when hes gone. 4. Jort Yes another Pirate I know. But probably the most famous character in game to date! (my opinion of course here) Its a shame he left the game as like him loathe him or love him he did indeed leave his mark which is what being a great character is all about. Yes I do miss Jort :) 5. Falhofnir I know another Cult member but they do so get about (God knows how as they are only 4 but then I guess thats why they stand out as they are not hidden by numbers). I laughed so much at Fals Pirate reports on here :) The only player I know of to have a pirate begging him for his life and another one begging for his modules back LOL. A great well played character and once again a very very mean PvPer (wonders if Soul and him have fought one on one)!! Anyway these are my nominees. As I said this game is all about characters not isk and ships etc!! These 5 have stood out most to me in my travels both on here in the forums and also in game. 3 cheers for them..
Miso	Posted - 2003.11.05 11:18:00 - [2] Don't want to make you cry or anything, but Setec has left the game I believe. Maybe you could do a fan site for him? -------------------------------------------- Dead
Nicholas Marshal	Posted - 2003.11.05 11:19:00 - [3] Setec has left the game, I think. Still, he was a great character.
Shaelin Corpius	Posted - 2003.11.05 11:30:00 - [4] Well, My Top 5 aren't even in the game anymore.
MrPops	Posted - 2003.11.05 11:31:00 - [5] I find it amusing how people make celebrities of others, become their personal fanboys/groupies, and give a lot credit based on rumors/hearsay and sometimes undeserved. Not that there is nothing wrong with that but I just find it amusing. Nothing like getting your ego booster by your peers right? I would personally give credit to those who commit their time to building the community. Those who create content for the game by making maps, organizing information in databases for the public. Those who make webpages dedicated to the game, the radio and news guys. Those who help test/bug in chaos regularly and effectively. The people who bother to make player made content for the game in the form of contests, player stories, player events etc. The smart folks who digest, test, and disect the game mechanics, elements, gameplay etc. and publish it to the public for better understanding of how things work. And most important, the people who bother to help others in positive and constructive ways. Specially the new players. These are the unnamed ones and these are the people I give much credit to. "The human species suffers from a dimensional limitation. They are not able to understand that matter and mind are just one aspect of something more fundamental. We must strive to expand our perspective so we can see what our true reality is." Deep toughts by Mr.Pops, while consuming large quantities of Blue Pill and staring at the EVE gate in Genesis.

Slinky Redfoot	Posted - 2003.11.05 11:54:00 - [7] Famous people in eve?there is only one, to be honest.. 1) Morbor!!! What can i say, the man is a legend. Got Banana?
IcemansMiner	Posted - 2003.11.05 13:06:00 - [8] Edited by: IcemansMiner on 05/11/2003 13:06:24 MR Pops I find the whole game amusing and thats the point of my thread :) I was just talking about people who have greatly enhanced my playing pleasure! I dont ever see all the peeps you mention so I cant mention them can I? Anyways Whats so wrong with a bit of ego boosting? Its only a game its not important. Its just lighthearted fun on a board where most threads are whines or moaning. No need to step so quickly up onto that old soap box poppy :)
Danton Marcellus	Posted - 2003.11.05 13:10:00 - [9] Setec's actually gone fishing, never thought that really happened! Convert Stations

The quintecensial "specialness" of EVE is that it is a unique game world... no mirrors or alternate shards. That people are unique and their actions are both unique and stay with them is what makes it special... Not making celebs out of people is not playing the game. Not making celebs is not making news. Not making celebs out of anybody or anything means there are no special websites, no news, no radio.. because there is nothing to talk about, there is nobody to laud or too hate, too emulate or pull down. All of the above builds the in-game society. "Heroes and Villains" Mr Pops; without them there is no EVE. (Just a little RL community of website builders with nothing to talk about.)
IcemansMiner	Posted - 2003.11.05 13:21:00 - [11] Exactly Morkt I just couldnt quite find the right words :)
Maud Dib	Posted - 2003.11.05 13:29:00 - [12] Not so sure we have any hero's but villians we got.
Lord Spectrum	Posted - 2003.11.05 13:33:00 - [13] Edited by: Lord Spectrum on 05/11/2003 13:39:11 "Heroes and Villains" Mr Pops; without them there is no EVE. The most famousest of hobbits would have to be Leeloo from Beta, even before the likes of Lord Zap, Setec and the others came along, Leeloo was the one everyone loved to hate. Leeloo almost reached the 1 billion isk bounty mark which is quite an achievement as far as imfamy goes. Leeloo was the anti-hero when the game was still in the late stages of beta.

Ok, they make a change from whining threads, but these sort of threads always end up sounding a bit too "clique-y" for my liking. -------------------------------------------- Dead
Morkt Drakt	Posted - 2003.11.05 13:55:00 - [15] and... Leeloo did it in Frigates!
Keo Morigan	Posted - 2003.11.05 15:08:00 - [16] Me! Me! Pick me! If your not a part of the solution, then you'r probably a part of the problem.
IcemansMiner	Posted - 2003.11.05 15:18:00 - [17] To dare a suggestion Miso. Is that because your not mentioned perchance?? LOL All of us and I mean all of us like a bit of ego warming every now and then! and why not indeed. I shall in my next list mention you at the very top :)
Stepping Razor	Posted - 2003.11.05 15:19:00 - [18] I picked mine based on having lots of personality: 1. Viceroy: No explanation needed 2. Homo-erectus: Talk about walking, talking Chaos. I don't get this guy at all, but he is active, unpredictable and beats-up pirates which works for me, and balances out my first, somewhat traitorous choice. He also seems kinda bright, which is nice for a change. 3. Tankuk: Barbarian warrior chieftain. Been on a couple of combat ops with him, he is both fun, intense and a crafty fighter. Another colourful, interesting character, and ally to boot. Razor Originally by: Bonaventure Phaidon CCP is the best at at least three things: 1. Really, really fun gameplay 2. Good forum presence 3. Inventing new and exciting ways to bring about in-game catacly

I don't see why people feel the constant need to feel validated in some way. -------------------------------------------- Dead
Lianhaun	Posted - 2003.11.05 15:45:00 - [20] Quote: Setec's actually gone fishing, never thought that really happened! Neither did I, till I saw tons of pictures on SI site, he posted new ones every once so often. River camping This is not a hijack
Dust Puppy	Posted - 2003.11.05 15:47:00 - [21] 1. Joshua Calvert - I always seem to agree with him and I recommended a good book. 2. Setec - He seems a levelheaded ethical pirate... if there is such a thing. 3. Viceroy - He is just funny 4. Zezman - You got to admire his attitude and of course the phrase "pulling a zezzie" 5. Deasdemona - I don¦t think anyone works as little as she does when she is at work ____________________________ I know a some of those people are not in the game but still my top five __________ Capacitor research

Leeloo was the anti-hero when the game was still in the late stages of beta. yesssss... leeloo was the entire beta risk-factor hehe. and this is when npc pirates were actually badass, a leeloo sighting would empty space for jumps in every direction. I think those from Beta who were so honored should have "i was podded by leeloo and you can't have my stuff" t-shirts. You are in a maze of twisty little asteroids, all alike.

Chucky	Posted - 2003.11.05 16:31:00 - [27] LeeLoo was a real pirate, 1st time I met her I was in an ibis and she scanned me but didn't bother to shoot. She was very good at finding the routes that would yield good results and would only kill when there was a serious gain to be made or in defence. ... you will see more and more marketing which in turn will bring you more players to torture.
Sedsiss	Posted - 2003.11.05 17:29:00 - [28] Leeloo, thats a name I havent heard in a long time:) She was the best pirate i've ever seen, hands down. I once led a warparty to try and pod her, but she was like a ghost when she didn't want to be found:)

Only 2 words for you tank : GOOD JOB ------------------------ <Beeth> Girls are like internet domain names, the ones I like are already taken. <honx> well, you can stil get one from a strange country :-P
Dreez	Posted - 2003.11.05 18:20:00 - [30] There aint many chars i have in my Hall-Of-Fame, but one name always rings a bell. Stavros . It would have been an honour going against this dude 1 on 1 , dont matter if i would have lost or won. 'Trying to argue logically with Evol is like trying to teach a pig to dance.

Mastema	Posted - 2003.11.05 18:53:00 - [31] 1. Viceroy 2. Viceroy 3. Viceroy 4. Viceroy 5. Archains impression of Viceroy Research with Duvolle Laboratories or you'll end up in the meat grinder!
Merdekka Radaen	Posted - 2003.11.05 20:15:00 - [32] Whoa whoa whoa! You can't have two members of the cult and not have me! :) Oh well, I'd better get back to being second rate... :P

Jade Constantine	Posted - 2003.11.05 21:15:00 - [34] Edited by: Jade Constantine on 05/11/2003 21:19:02 Well famous characters eh? 1. Ragnar ... he had a war and a magic hat named after him, what else can you say? Seriously he had a huge effect on Beta, was infamous in the early game, and then went on to provide the motivation for the most fun I've had in games for a long time. Bringing him down was like hunting the great white whale from Moby d-ick ;) 2. Stavros ... he stood for emperor and got podded, I disagreed with the majority of things he ever said, but he always had plenty to say and was sometimes pretty funny - always missed the point of alliances though and was an incorigable boaster about mOo exploits! (small e) 3. Morkt Drak ... he was a great opponent of the old VA, a good friend of the new NVA and knows the score, in and out of game - this man understands the importance of player led action and an independent press. 4. Sarkos ... he was (and is) a high profile roleplayer and alliance leader, and has stayed enthused with the game in thick and thin. Always a pleasure to talk to - Sarkos proves that being a roleplayer is not the same as being an impotent numpty with no in-game power. 5. Miso! ... she almost caused a revolt when she left, is always fun to read on forums, and always fun to talk to in-game, plus - she, naginata and reikoku have defined the "playing with cheap-ass ships for fun and creative mayhem" agenda in eve. Nobody else did more to debunk the "gotta-have-a-battleship-to-fight" nonsense. Love and peace PS. Hey forum mods ... you know you have the profanity censor set to "extinguish all known life" when the literary works of Herman Melville are censored to anonymity ... lol JF Public Forum
Arch Aggelos	Posted - 2003.11.05 21:46:00 - [35] Damn, you posted too soon Merdekka... I just found this thread but was going to add you... Merdekka Radaen: Merdekka used to harass us back in Beta. We had no trouble keeping Spectral Armada and their patsys in line, but Merdekka and Acuna would give us hell. Merdekka's the reason I got into ECM in the first place. I know there's been some fan-fiction about getting beat up by Merdekka, just don't remember who wrote it or where to find it...
Merdekka Radaen	Posted - 2003.11.05 22:25:00 - [36] I think it was Tehel Necrona that wrote that and it was about the fight that caused taggart to declare war on us twice in the first week :)
Tassadar Beta	Posted - 2003.11.05 23:28:00 - [37] Sigh....I dont get it, my top players would be based on, players who are true to the game and help make the game enjoyable. Not players who either (A)troll the boards (B)Are pirates who pod for the sake of it (C)Just post all day on the forums. My top 5 would be ppl most of you dont know, who dont go about posting 20 posts on the forums each day, ppl who joke around and help others in the game. Or those pirates who dont attack newbie frigates and only go for fair game or profitable endeavours. They may not be the most famous ppl, wealthy or infamous and respected but they contribute more to the game than the ppl who always get voted for.
IcemansMiner	Posted - 2003.11.06 08:08:00 - [38] Thats only your opinion Tassadra :) might not be true however!
