Ok... since we're mangling proverbs.
Don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen
People who live in glass houses sink ships
A penny saved is worth two in the bush
An apple a day is worth a pound of cure
Don't burn your bridges before they are hatched
It's the squeaky wheel that gets the worm
back on topic...
6) Money Isk doesn't grow on trees
5) A fool and his money CNR are soon parted
4) A journey of a thousand miles jumps begins with a single step {that's lowsec. sure you want to go there?} click
3) There's no such thing as a free lunch CNR
2) To err is human, to forgive gank divine
And the number one goofy Eve proverb is...
1) Youth CNRs are wasted on the young

Earlier, just after DT I tried to ransom a CNR, the pilot was 14 days old. It seems he had run afoul of a gatecamp a few systems further up the pipe as well.
He logged off.
I waited until the last safe moment for him to log back on again and proceded to gank it.
I sat and waited for his egg and ransomed it. I then asked him WTF a 14 day old character was doing in a CNR.
'It was a gift from some friends'
What the hell?
What are people doing? I see it more and more, older players bestowing gifts on newer players, either large sums of ISK or expensive ships. Give a noob a billion isk and he will probably go and buy the biggest most expensive ship he can and lose it within 24 hours.
Give a noob 10 mil isk and some advice and he will be in a much better position and not make those expensive mistakes early on which will make him quit.
It was prolly a gift from his "friend" asfghj

Guys don't give isk to newbs, not even 1 mil. You think you do something good to them, but in fact you destroy their fun to get the first isk themselves.
I still remember the first day i entered eve few years ago, i was hunting small rats in a training complex (as part of the tutorial) and wham, there was a 20k isk warp disruptor in the loot.
That was like a jackpot, half the isk for a frigate.
Then killing rats in a 0.8 system, was quite challenging in an ibis but it was awsome to get the first isk and to earn the first frigate, which then allowed me to hunt 0.7 or even 0.6 systems, killing guristas in belts to make isk for skillbooks and some better modules for my frigate. That was an exciting time, glad noone ruined it by donating millions of isk.
Making the first millions was much more fun than making the first billions. Don't spoil that fun for newbs, let them enjoy that part of the game.

Lol totally agreed. I am using this alt to get a command ship, because being the CEO of my corp (Which my other guy made) and I know that most people are stupid like that. I mean, I am getting a damnation for this guy in 2 months, but I need another month to train the skills for it to be good. I hate older players who say things like "Here, I'll give you, a noob, 10 mil to go buy a ship and come to this lowsec system so I can blow you up...I mean, give you cookies!" Yes I saw a guy say this once.

Yeah, I know. Great feeling, that.
Then I did the math and found out how many of these I needed to find for buying a Titan.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you have just wasted a perfect opportunity to create a revenue stream by leveraging added value.
Or ...
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will say "why the heck should I fish - you are the bl**dy support technician!!"

Why don't you open a work shop about Social Responsibility in EVE?
And teach how all of us(noobs and older players) should play the game?
Or maybe you can just play the game for us?
Go out much OP?

1M is all a newbie needs, he can break many frigs with that. It's even too much they tend to buy too expensive guns with that.
Give him 1M and nudge him gently towards the salvaging skill… after that, he should be pretty much self-sustaining.

No! We pirates like newbs in big expensive ships. MOAR 14 day olds in CNRs PLX!
Part of me agrees with you. Part of me doesn't. As much as I love the tears of these noob BS pilots and the idea that they rage quit because of me I feel a great sadness that these people are wasting these beautiful ships that I should be flying instead.

I thought the social responsibility that older players had was to blow the newer ones out of the sky, then tease them on the forums when they whine about being ganked?

Teach a man to play a game and he will be happy, teach a man how to use a creditcard and people like asfgh and ghghkda will become his best friends.
Teach a man how to use the internet and he will get caught chatting up minors in a chatroom by the police. Teach a man to use a forum and he will spam it with nonsense like you lot going totally off topic.

I gave this to the last newbie I helped:
- Advice, lots of it.
- a destroyer setup for salvaging, and a basic t1 cruiser for ratting.
- I made him follow me in a few lv4 missions, so he could get salvage/get half the money and stnadings, and access a good lv2 agent.
- I told him to use the money won by buying some +3 implants.
Anything more would have not helped him, rather the contrary.

Somebody gave me the standard issue 10 mil cute li'l newbie bonus and I used it to run NPC buy orders. This pretty much kept me in gear while the mining corp I'd joined tried to figure out what the hell the payscale was; I managed to negotiate a pretty sweet deal on that one too.
