Part 12
So, we reach the end of this leg of the adventure; I logged back in after my somewhat demoralising encounter with two White Noise pilots with renewed determination to interview everyone. I plotted a course to NPC space in Venal (to find some pilots from 0.0 corporations instead of alliances) and trusted to my luck to meet a White Noise pilot en route.
The EVE Gods smiled upon me this day:

I just hoped that this would not be some elaborate troll attempt, for another failed attempt might just break me.
http://eve-files.com/dl/251349
Success! A bona fide White Noise combat pilot who isnGÇÖt just trying to troll me.
http://eve-files.com/dl/251349
It appears that IGÇÖm speaking to a leader of men, a noble general, a fleet commander:

http://eve-files.com/dl/251352
I canGÇÖt lie, IGÇÖm very happy to have successfully completed my objective of talking to a pilot from every alliance. I had arrived in Venal and docked at a Guristas station, I wanted to know what goes on in NPC space, so I asked:
http://eve-files.com/dl/251353
Apparently this:

Naturally, if there is something that sounds like a good photo opportunity then IGÇÖll fly there instantly, because, as my mother always used to say GÇ£A photo lasts a life time but your pants can be washed afterwards.GÇ¥ Here is the ensuing conversation in local.
http://eve-files.com/dl/251355
Poor guy, apparently camped in the system. So I warped to all the gates to find the viscous pirates; alas they were empty.
http://eve-files.com/dl/251356
I found some people at the station however:

Nothing was really forthcoming from the locals on this day, so I logged off and had Christmas instead. I logged on 2 weeks later to this argument:

1v1 is serious business apparently? Eager to demonstrate my accumulated knowledge of 0.0 I weighed in on the subject, failing epically:
http://eve-files.com/dl/251360
IGÇÖll just shut up now.
NPC space appears to be the most smack filled place in null sec (notice that some of these pilots are White Noise), but at least I learnt something of value. I log off for the day, but I still need to find some independent corporations to talk to!
The next day I met a pilot who convinced me that White Noise must truly be 90% trolls (Knight Jedi excepted, of course):
http://eve-files.com/dl/251361
Just in case you hadnGÇÖt worked it out, Soldur is in White Noise, and yes, I got podded. Fortunately I had pre-emptively moved my clone to the station. Surprise is one of many tools in a reporters repertoire. Here are pictures of the podding.
http://eve-files.com/dl/251362
http://eve-files.com/dl/251363
Just for any interest Goon pilots (Feligast), the events recorded here took place on 3rd January; in case you were still wondering where their pilots were. (This information is old and probably useless, so I feel alright in an ethical sense for releasing it).
Now, for you astute readers, I wonder if you can guess which accusation is presently thrown at me?
http://eve-files.com/dl/251364
My reporter senses were tingling, usually these bully mouthed fellows had a secret desire for someone to just listen to them and I provide a shoulder to cry on free of charge as well.
http://eve-files.com/dl/251370
Score 1 for reporter senses? So, let us discover the true heart of a smack talker:
http://eve-files.com/dl/251371
Not only have I met a griefer, but he is now camping the station for my 40k clone! Genuine disasters of this magnitude do not occur everyday and the readers support is vital at this juncture. In the meantime I decided to comfort myself with some delicious hate mail.
The forum thread showing why EVE is the game for him (tl;dr: EVE is a griefers haven)
http://eve-files.com/dl/251372
http://eve-files.com/dl/251373
Unfortunately he had deleted all the hate main and then my laptop crashed. However, I decided that my time here was finished, I would return to base and plan my next move (independent corporations would have to wait for a probing). I utilised a handy feature I had heard of to move my clone to my corporation office thus avoiding the tiresome flight back (or being podded relentlessly by Soldur who was still camped outside). I then issued a challenge:

Ninevite, who I had previously met, took up the challenge to pod me:

Analysis
I think it is pertinent to look back on my adventure at this point, draw some conclusions, learn some lessons and improve my investigation.
Interviews conducted: 19
Times podded: 7
Not a bad ratio for a neutral in a shuttle, I think
I have also established my corporations Rules of Engagement: Pod And Do An Interview (PADAI)
I have learnt a lot about the people in 0.0 and how the whole business of empire building works and I can say with relative authority that there is no GÇÿone typeGÇÖ of pilot out here. It is also interesting that a lot of pilots are willing to do an interview if you persevere long enough. I lament my failure to provide coverage on current events (WN vs Goons) as pilots have not really discussed the present situation (and indeed refuse to) but I hope to rectify that in future. I want to continue to meet different types of pilots and maintain the diversity of my interviewees, which also includes meeting people with various roles within alliances.
LetGÇÖs look back at the map from when I started the adventure and compare it to now
When I chose my first destination:

Large view (Present):
http://eve-files.com/dl/251377
Focusing on my area of travel (Present):
http://eve-files.com/dl/251378
A lot has changed indeed. White Noise now only hold the smaller section of territory that was desolate when I visited it, I wonder if it will now be full of life? GoonSwarm now cover an even larger area GÇô IGÇÖm glad I got out of there when I did.
Feedback
IGÇÖd like to get some feedback at this point, to help keep people interested and hopefully draw in new readers. IGÇÖm having a great time doing this and donGÇÖt want to have to stop. So please leave some comments!
What parts of the investigation are good and work well?
What is not so good/doesnGÇÖt work?
What would you like to see in the next part?
Other comments?

As a result of declining interest I will be terminating this endeavour. I apologise to any who were following the investigation, but the time investment doesn't seem worth it currently. Perhaps I will return to the adventure in the future.
Particular apologies to those whose interviews occurred in the past two weeks that were not published (Wind Wendy, Chribba and a couple of others).

Your investigation only confirms that much of 0.0 is full of people who cannot string sentences together, want to be evil but are doing it wrong (in a video game - they should become cops or go into politics), breaking the EULA with sexist comments, and are pod happy.
Nothing new.

Really enjoyed this, sad to see it come to an end. Perhaps you will get some more attention by conducting investigations on multiple aspects of the Eve experience. Good luck to you! |
