There are girls that play this game. So who ever told you that was being an ass. However it probably is not the game for most girls out there but it does not have to be for most it only has to be for you.
This game is famous for it's huge learning cliff. However with some help and guidance you can quickly become comfortable. I'd be more than happy to help you in what ever way that I can. If you have question ask away. If you would rather mail me questions you can do that as well.
Since you haven't played other games I don't have to tell you to forget everything that you have learned in other MMOs since you haven't.
I will however tell you that this game is an MMO and as such is intended to be multiplayer. What makes or breaks this game is the friends you make. So you are starting off the right way if you ask me. |

And now I realize that I may have just bitten some sneaky trollbait.
A corpmate of mine upon sitting cloaked in a wormhole combat site watching a guy in a shinny ship run it solo said in corp chat "he's got to be bait" (based on the way the guy was behaving). Right after that he said " but some bait is so good you just have to bite". |

DT = Down time. It's when CCP shuts down the game for about 15 minutes or so every day at I think 11:00 am GMT without using DST. GMT is Greenwich mean time also know as UTC.
Team speak is an audio chat app for groups. It is used in MMOs alot for coordinating group efforts. Like fleet ops in this game or raids in other games or battlefields etc... anything where groups of people need to operate and have "comms" while playing.
Spectre fleet is an NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It ) group that does public roams and shoots anyone not in fleet.
Gank just means you are going to go blow up the guy that said that to you regardless of what concord thinks about the interaction. |

I didn't really understand all the voice bits but trolling is making fun of people? Is that something that happens a lot?
Trolling is when you say something, especially on an internet posting forum, that is intended to get a reaction from people. For example you could be trolling just by pretending to not know what we are talking about. You could also be trolling by pretending to be a damsel in distress in this video game that actually has a mission called damsel in distress.
So it's not making fun of people. It is often just saying stupid things just to set people off. Also trolling is frowned up in the NC Q&A. |

good or bad are not things that exist in this game. At least not objectively and probably not at all.

I don't think I can use Team speak then because I don't have a phone that uses apps?
https://www.teamspeak.com/downloads
TS ( teamspeak ) is not an app for your phone ( well maybe they have a phone version but that is not how it's typically used ). TS is an app that you put on your computer and talk with other people in a group setting. You could have hundreds of people in the same channel taking orders from one FC ( fleet commander ) . |

You are not bothering anyone or being a troll if you are being strait up with everyone. I think what people mean by claiming that you might be a troll is hinting that you might be a man IRL ( in real life ) that has been gaming online for decades.
So if you were not who you say you are and just pretending to be what you claim to be just to watch people react to the lie then you would be a troll. Even at that you would not be an angry or disruptive one so it could be worse.
But again you are not bothering anyone here by asking questions that you legitimately would like answers for. |

we are all here by our own will. You could just ask whatever questions that you would like answered and let us decide for ourselves what is bothersome and what is not.
If you ask a question that would be drudgery for me to answer I can choose to not answer it. If someone else decides that they would love to answer that same question they can choose to do so. Even if I do choose to answer a question that is a bother that is my choice and you should not hold yourself responsible for other people's choices.
TL;dr You worry about you and let other's worry about themselves. |

How do I take it down? By not my choice I meant a friend of mine basically made me try it after she reminded me I promised I would. There is a running joke that I am not good with social situations. Someone had the bright idea of making me try an online video game because I am also not technical. My guess is this is the hardest game they could think of with the most social stuff involved? You are correct on this.
However it makes no difference. It is a social game but it is a social game for non-social people. I believe that a much larger percentage of Eve players are IT types with aspergers. I mean that literally not figuratively and I include myself in those numbers. I guess that you could consider it a social hangout for anti-social types. Not that you have to be anti-social just that if you are socially awkward you will fit in fine here.
OP (OP = Original Poster) I'm not in your timezone but I do get up for work probably a couple hours before you go to bed so if you eve-mail me questions I can try to log on and chat with you if you ever need help or feel stuck in something. However this is a forum alt so if you watch list me you will almost never see me log into this character unless you send an eve mail and I know to log over and chat with you. |

I gather Sol is a person and this person is a troller? Also I have been referred to as a few different things in my life but troll bait is a new one, I still don't quite get that one if someone wants to explain it.
Did I do something wrong?
You did nothing wrong.
In this situation specifically if you were posting troll bait you would be a man in real life and also had been playing online games and posting on gaming forums for years. You would then come here and pretend to be a female who has never gamed before just to watch all the men fall for the trick. That would be a troll bait post.
And we would be the people falling prey to the bait by trying to help someone that we general thought needed our help when you were in actuality just a troll.
If you are actually a female and actually new to gaming then you most certainly are not a troll and just who you say you are.
To explain it more simply to be a troll you would have to be misrepresenting yourself. If you are being honest you are not a troll and no one is accusing you of being one. They are just saying that if you are not who you say you are then you would be one. We probably only say that to preemptively save face on the off chance that you are a troll in hind sight we can at least say "I knew it" so we don't feel like fools. |

I've read every post on this thread I do not recall you having posted your address. You did mention the town or at least get people familiar with the area a reference withing several miles of where you live but I think he was using a minor bit of artistic license in there.
I believe a more accurate statement would have been that you have no problems giving the details about the general area in which you live but you were stingy with details on why you played the game.
I don't think that you've gone too far in giving details. I just think someone here was trying to help you remain cautious and not get too much more specific. |

You can. But like was said already anyone that has quoted it will still show the original text.
Tiffany Hope wrote: So when I reply to what people say everyone else on here can see it too?
Yes this is a forum thread. Everything posted here is public. If you want a private conversation with someone you need to start a private conversation either with a direct chat in game or in a channel that only the two of you are in or via an in game mail or out of game mail or some other form of communication where it is just the two of you.
Tiffany Hope wrote: I was told it wouldn't matter who I was or anything but I don't want to be called a troll :(
It dose not matter who you are but if you care that much what other people think of you and you are that thinned skinned you will have a tough time with this game. Yes people have accused you of being a troll but if you are not one then why would you care? Even if you were one why would you care?
I would venture to say that in life you need to have a little more confidence in yourself than that but certainly in this game you do. There are people in this game that will extract tears just for laughs. There are people in this game that will call you names and ridicule you not because they mean it but just to get into your head and defeat you before the shooting even starts.
You seem like a nice person but this is a game for aspiring scoundrels. That does not mean that you have to be an aspiring scoundrel but you need to know that this game is rife with them.
TL;dr have a little more self confidence in yourself and learn to tell others to suck it. |

I've never used them but there is a section in the market for them and I think you can preview them in ship fitting and maybe even in the show info screen.
I'm not sure as I don't use skins. I noticed you ask this question before and was hoping someone who knew more than me would chime in. If you can't figure it out let me know and I'll jump in a chat with you and help you figure it out. |

Tiffany Hope wrote:Its not in me to be mean or loud or anything lol. So hopefully I just meet nice people. I can just ignore the mean ones I guess. This is the most out there, crazy and social thing I've done since I was only little.
Sorry. I'm not big and tough that's why I don't do social things lol. This is a big step for me :)
You have nothing to apologize for and I am not asking you to be big our tough or mean or anything.
I simply suggested that it might benefit you to be a little more confident in yourself. Refusing to apologize when you've done nothing wrong is not mean, it's just being honest.
When you apologize when you know you've done nothing wrong that is dishonest because you are not really sorry since you have done nothing to be sorry of.
Again there's nothing wrong with anything that you have done. As best as I can tell you've not offended anyone here. I'm just saying that the honest self-loving thing to do is speak your truth and be proud of who your are regardless of who that is.
Who ever you are today, tomorrow you will be a better you and the tomorrow you can easily look back on the yesterday you and call it inferior but that would be a diservice because in every moment you are just being the best you that you can be and in every moment it's a little better than the moment before.

I would totally pay the money though if I could get the skin Ace showed me yesterday!
The Amarr are slave lords and the Minmatar are escaped slaves of the Amarr. As a Gallente who's faction is aligned with the Minmatar it is fitting that you are displeased with the Amarr having slaves.
Now the fitting thing for any well balanced Eve player to do with that knowledge is join faction warfare and spill the blood, in little frozen droplets, of as many of us Amarr slave lords as you can. Make us pay for our transgressions with internet space ship violence. |

I care 'bout nothing of these and so 'bout your gender.
This is just my destructive comment on how this polite and kind community reacts to females (fake or not - who cares). Arkoth there is nothing that obliges you to post here. I don't recall having seen your posts here in the NC Q&A before. You are accusing other's that are in here day after day helping out new bros and sises, regardless of who they are, of only helping this one in particular because she is a girl and you don't post in here except on this one.
I'd say that you are the one only paying attention to the OP because she's a girl. Check the NC Q&A history. Pretty much every other poster on this thread is in here day after day helping new bros.
Is this post longer than most? Yes. Did it grow fast? Yes. However the OP is brand new to gaming and has a lot of basic questions and needs a lot more help than the average player coming from some other game that has a background in both gaming and forum posting.
Aside from yourself Arkoth every other poster here has gone out of their way to create text walls and threadnaughts to help hundreds if not thousands of new bros. Before your accusations can hold any water you need to reconcile that.
Also worth noting is that the posters here will turn on a dime if the OP becomes presumptive or ingrateful. This OP has been appreciative which is a big part of why we are so happy to help. Does the fact that she has estrogen flowing through her body make her more likely to express gratitude and less likely to be a ****? Probably. However regardless of if the OP stands up to pee or sits down I will help any newbro or sis that needs it and shows some type of appreciation or gratitude.
One further note Arkoth. This is the OP's thread so yes this thread is about her. Who it is not about is you and you seem to be trying to hijack this thread to get yourself some attention. Again this is the thread is the OP's thread you can be helpful to the OP or other newbros reading this thread or you can go create your own thread if you have question or go troll over in GD. However here in the NC Q&A we try to be helpful or remain silent. |

Also what I posted you can double check for yourself you don't have to take my word on it. Your reply can be proven to be based on assumptions rather than fact simply by look back at the past couple of pages of posts.
Most of the comments that I made about you directly were just reading back what you posted or pointing out that you are the only one posting in this thread that does not regularly post in other threads. You are also the only one not being helpful.
So to that I say just yes. |

I help newbros for the sake of helping. If they don't make it past the trial that's not really my concern.
I used to feel like it was wasted effort but know I realize that I am here for my own sake and not that of the OP. In other words I don't help because I want to help the OP. I help because I like helping. |

I don't want a slave ship lol I don't know what to get :( or how to make enough monies lol.
Ships are tools in this game. First you need to decide what job that you want to accomplish then you can figure out what ship would be good for that.
Carriers can not be flown in high sec currently. Also they are big and slow. Further they have very little use outside of PvP. And they are getting revamped this summer or spring with an expansion set to change capital ships.
I would focus more on learning the game. If you decide at somepoint that you'd like a carrier to do something with then get one. However I think once that you see how big and slow battleships are you might second guess flying a cap. |

Tiffany Hope wrote:[ It's my first video game, I don't know much, I'm trying to learn and trying to be social.
That's all. Experimentation is not only one of the best ways to learn it is really the only way that you can come to know something i.e. through experience.
Social experimentation and social engineering have gotten bad names by being used for manipulative and selfish reasons. But like everything social experimentation is just a tool and as such can be used for good or bad.
You can experiment with being social and grow as a person maybe even make some friends. I doubt most people would call that manipulative or bad.
You can also preform social experimentation to learn how to better manipulate people for maximum benefit for the self with complete disregard for the costs to others. Something that I think most people would likely consider bad. I tend to lump anyone involved in sales or marketing in that category and I'll admit not always rightly so.
Anyway my main point is don't be afraid to call something what it is just because typically that thing is abused. Everything has positive and negative aspects. |

Tiffany Hope wrote: I just meant that for me it wasn't an experiment. It was just me trying to not be a hermit and shy all my life. that's all :(
If you were a baseball player and wanted to become a better batter you would experiment with different variations on your swing.
Experimentation is simply coming up with an idea of how you think something will turn out and then trying it out and see how far off the end result is from where you initially thought it would take you. Really pure experimentation is just trying something to see what happens.
Experimentation is truly a wonderful and powerful thing. You should not be afraid of experimentation. It is how we learn nearly everything in this life. Even as very young children we experiment with all kinds of things. This is how we learn and grow.
If you shy away from experimentation you will be stifling yourself and your ability to learn and grow. One of the best ways to learn in this game is experimentation and I am constantly telling newbros to experiment with different ships and different fits to get to know this game.
As a matter of fact just today if you browse other threads here you'll find places where newbros ask for answers to questions and instead of giving them a direct answer ( often because they are looking for an objective answer to a subjective question but I digress ) I will show them how they can come to know the answer experiential through experimentation. |

Tiffany Hope wrote:Yeah the high sec areas (I hope of got this right) are boring now and I hate doing it all by myself lol. I've gone out and lost 2 ships, I've mined like 30 million dollars worth of stuff and sold it all, I've done heaps of skill training so I can do bigger ships and stuff.
I want to have some fun now so I need to find a group or something I think. You are on the right track. Joining a corp is only one way to find people to do stuff with. We've also already covered public chat channels.
I believe we've also talked about public NPSI fleets but I think it is worth mentioning here again.
Null sec mining can be fun but be warned most of the fun in that is people linking stuff in and talking in local and that can get nasty at times. But then again if you are easily offended then mining fleets are the least of your concerns in this game.
To do stuff with people however you are going to have to meet up with people in game and not on the forums. I mean you can transition from one to the other but I think it's probably more effective to do it in game.
Another thing that you can do if you get bored with missions is get in a cheap combat ship and run out to NRDS null sec and try some ratting and talking to the locals. Se which happens first if you get blown up by a roaming red or make a friend or two.
Talking in local anywhere while you are doing what you do can be a good way to make friends. It can also be a good way to make enemies but that is all dependent upon how you go about it. |

So it is easy to get off of the KoS list. All that you have to do make good with all of the pilots of the ships that you destroyed. The simpliest way of doing this is to pay them the isk value of their loss.
Another thing that you can do is join a corp that is blue. You will have to do some explaining to get their trust but you can do it. I've seen players that once were red join blue corps and become valuable local residents. I've also seen blues leave and join or create red corps.
If you are seriously interested in joining the blue side of Provi NRDS gameplay You can start out on their website. Where there is a will there is a way.

You also have The Volition Cult which used to be a Provi Sov holder and has now moved to extend NRDS into Catch last that I heard.
You also have corps like the one that my main is in that don't hold Sov but have lived in Provi for years and help to contribute locally to the effort.
OP if you are interested in NRDS game play or living in Provi convo me in game or send me a message and we'll talk more about it. |

And judging by the killboard link glfdex provided, the wars are very active with lots of kills. I'm guessing that people are smack-talking in local, using profanity. Also, Tiffany now has an exact 1 million ISK bounty, and is probably not logging in (no kills or deaths). Thanks for the update. I could not figure out what was going on from the links.

Tiffany you don't need to worry about bounties. The concepts that you have about right and wrong get thrown out the window the second that you log into this game. You don't have to do anything wrong to have people come after you in this game.
Also worth pointing out is that high sec is full of players looking for soft targets meaning people looking to PvP against players that have no idea how to PvP. In all honesty if you want to get away from that type of gameplay move to null sec. There is seriously less PvP in null sec than in high sec, at least that has been my experience.
So don't worry about the bounty and stop thinking what did you do wrong when people come after you. This is a forum alt for me because in this game if I were to come into the forums and talk openly about not seeking out PvP I'd likely have a list of players chasing me down and trying to force me to PvP. It's just how this game is. You can be ok with that or not but the game will still be what it is.
You don't have to become anything in particular to play this game. However you also can change the game from the core of what it is. You have to find your place in it but allow it to be what it is. |

It's just how this game is. Given your attitude you probably wouldn't, this is my main and I post in a very similar vein; I've gotten hate mail for telling carebears how not to die, from carebears and the odd white knight  , haven't gotten any from PvP folks though. I've had players on the forum demand that I post the name of my main before. Not here, but typically when I comment on Dev posts about upcoming game changes. I can only assume that if they are asking for the name of my main that they intend to do something with that name.
I'll admit I could be very wrong on this. However having a forum alt is a fairly simple thing and if I am correct I basically have to stop playing this game if I don't.
However in real life I tend to try and keep a low profile and fly under the radar in most if not all situations so my perspective is probably a little tilted in that direction.
I will admit that my way is just that, my way, not necessarily the right way. All that I can do is share how I play and why and how it works out for me. It's up to others to decide if it may or may not work given their tastes. |

Yup, that's the worst part, i.e. don't worry about bounties. That's the best part! I can't hold on to a bounty to save my life. :( No but you could hold onto a buoy to save your life. |
