What makes me UNIQUE?

I don't use in-game alts, and my character is a Generalist and can do pretty much whatever I want.

• I made a killing trading real-estate back in 2005. When everyone was low on lab-space, there were no POS or research queues and slots could be rented for a fee, I went around snapping up slots as they became availible and reselling them for profit. Most people were content with mining and ratting for isk but those few of us that got in on the real estate market made a killing.

• I learned to track down ships at safespots before probes were introduced, using nothing but warp, the scanner and bookmarks to get within range to start mwding toward the spot. A lot of people did this and it was very profitable as people used to leave battleships at safespots.

• Before probes were upgraded to the no-skill one-press rubbish we have now, I developed a very interesting tool that would take in the x-y-z co-ordinates of three players and the distance of their target on the scanner and would tri-laterate the target's x and y co-ordinates. It then displayed their location on a 2D map of the solar system you're in to allow the player to choose optimum locations for probes that could find him. Overall scan time took 5 minutes for an experienced team and the entire program used only data that could be manually obtained and copied from the game itself, no monkey business with logserver or anything.
  
  I never released the tool because I was working on a 3D version. You can see from this screnshot that I had upgraded it to work with 4 scanner posts to quadlaterate the x, y AND Z component of the target's location. Unfortunately, probes were upgraded before I released the tool and it became obsolete. It CAN still be used to find objects that are not able to be found with probes, if that's useful to anyone.

• I believe I was the first person to discover Taisu Magdesh's hidden static outpost complex in Thelan. I was living in Thelan at the time and no more than a week after probes were introduced, I scanned it out. I was doing my usual directional scanning to see what's out there and saw the contents of the complex on scanner when it had not been there previously. At the time, Taisu Magdesh's Insignia was sold for over 200m isk a pop, was required to get a navy raven and was only found at the end of this complex. I farmed that complex for a long time before prices started to crash. Nowadays, the complex is still there but Taisu shows up in some level 4 mission and his tag isn't really required to get a navy raven.

• I used to trade in rare items a hell of a lot. I'm not talking about domination warp disruptors or officer modules, I mean real rare oddities. Harvester Mining Drones, parts of Misu Baniya, complex fullerene shards, T2 modules that weren't in-game yet which had been procured from event loot, cosmos items that were very rare at the time etc. At one point, I had three bugged remote hull repairers before remote hull reps were released and sold them off as collector's items. I think CCP released real remote hull reps based on the apparant demand. I used to own a Guardian Vexor but traded it for two T2 bpos. The ship itself is terrible but as a collectable it's highly sought-after. I would gladly make the trade in reverse now.

• Ran two successful IPOs (PIF and PSRS) for the better part of a year, totalling 60 billion isk invested. They closed down a while ago and the isk was paid back to investors but it was great to do it and earn teh trust of the community

• I was around when ISS started as one man (Count TaSessine) wanting to start a co-operative moon-mining network with 0.0 alliances to exploit untapped resources. Everyone thought he was trying to steal people's 25m join fees but I went with it anyway and established my first 0.0 POS in querious making crystalline carbonide.

• I was on the ISS core management team as the face of 0.0 PvP slowly shifted from defence to offence. I was there when deathstars stopped frightening dreadnought pilots, the political defences stopped working and the only way for ISS to survive was to harden up and start playing the PvP game. And to his credit, Count TaSessine saw that change and remoulded the alliance to suit the changing game circumstances. I was on the core ISS management team through some of their best times, joined in with some massive and awesome fleet battles and watched as the alliance leveraged 250b of public isk to make profit.

• I ran Providence region for ISS and a corpmate Naliana and I ran the two outposts there ISS Consido and ISS Fabrica. Whoever the new owners are at the moment, they can never erase that name from my memory. They'll always be ISS Consido in IS-R7P and ISS Fabrica in QR-K85. In my opinion, out of respect for ISS's initial vision for 0.0, the current owners should restore the names Consido and Fabrica.

• I was there when ISS was defeated, gangbanged on all sides by a massive coalition of alliances. It wasn't long after that massive power-blocks started officially forming for mutual benefit and the ISS-IAC war may have been the catalyst for that shift in political styles.

• I worked with Mercenary Coalition as part of ISS and they were spectacular. I have some conspiracy theories about their actions during the ISS-IAC war but it wouldn't be respectful to mention them in light of their recent dismantlement. Instead, let me just say that they were real professionals and did a good job.

• I helped build some outposts, I guess. The people living in them now aren't the original owners, most of them don't even know why they were built where they were and what effort and thought went into their construction and that's a little sad. But I'll never forget building them.

• I took part in and led gangs that got several capital ship kills on the infamous Ginger Magician. Although he is infamous for being a prat and nobody has come close to his record for capital ship losses, I believe our kills on him were special in that he was permabanned shortly after on an unrelated matter and nobody will get the chance to kill him again. That makes our kills one for the history books :).

• In a time when other players would laugh at you for calculating resistances with a calculator instead of just fitting the module and seeing what happened, I decided to go at eve with a calculator and a notepad. I eventually wrote a spreadsheet to automate resistance and repairer calculations, which evolved into a full-blown tanking calculator where players could test their tank theoretically against any mix of NPCs in the game. I strongly believe that my spreadsheet and others like it inspired the next generation of EVE tools like Eve Fitting Tool by showing that everything is calculable.


• I wrote the definitive guide on tanking for EON Magazine issue 2 and launched eve-tanking.com to store additional notes that wouldn't fit in the guide. For years after (and to this very day) and often referred to as "The tanking guy". Concepts that I came up with and wrote about on the website like spider tanking proved to be very effective in-game and are still used and referred to.


• Although my spreadsheet is no longer valid and eve-tanking.com has been converted into what is essentially a blog, I still get a few visitors. The number of visitors and the amount of cash made from the game time code affiliate link were good at one time but have now dropped to practically nothing. However, I am attempting to give more back to the eve community with my irregularly-scheduled exhaustive guides to PvP titled "The Anatomy of PvP".


• I invented exploration. No, really.


• I'm convinced that someone at CCP takes ideas and solutions to problems from posts and articles I write seriously as many things I've suggested on my website have been implemented around six months later.


• Mining overhaul (not sure if this went anywhere).


• For a long time, I wrote guides for EON and acted as editor for the Insider's Guide section. I wrote the aforementioned article on tanking, one on moon mining and two on rigs (usage and construction) and acted as editor on something like 7 or 8 articles. I loved each and every article but as time went on, it began to feel more like work and wasn't as new and interesting as it had been to begin with. Additionally, although they swear the rate of pay never changed, I'm sure the amount of isk I was paid per page was reduced with each issue. I'm also fairly confident that I was not paid for the last article I edited for them and possibly not for the second-last one.
  
  Another guide-writer I worked with on my last editorial said he was eventually paid, although he was paid a lower rate than expected. After all those problems and not offering me cash for my work despite suggestions that they might start doing so soon(tm), I decided to stop working with EON and devote more time to my own EVE blog. My main reason was that the advertisement revenue from my own blog could be used to pay rent but isk couldn't.


• Recently, I was picked up by Massively.com as a regular EVE Online columnist (EVE Evolved) :). I get to write about anything I want related to EVE in roughly 1000-1500 word slots once a week for a not-so-terrible $50 per article. Now I'm getting paid to write about what I love and having my writing displayed on massively.com lets me reach a much wider audience than my own blog. It's quite fun :)

I try not to get a big head on myself but sometimes a bit of an ego boost is nice ^^;. Maybe I could get a job at CCP down the line. Right now, I'm not going anywhere until I finish my computer science degree roughly this time next year. Which reminds me, I should be revising :p.

BTW, I love your forest gump sig, it's one of those absurd sigs that can throw me into a giggling fit :p
