Today, EVE's aniversary we will be visited by a Jove emissary. Rather than killing him "to get the bp" we could escort his ship and make him feel at home.
Its like killing the gold egg goose to get only one gold egg. It's a shame players can't defend the Jove emissary because of Concord lack of AI (Concord is stupid as a rock). Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station |

I ask myself ...why should he carry a BPO of jove technology He comes to say "hello" and to discuss with our leaders ...so why should he carry Jove BPOs of jove titans or I do not know what  We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...

Perhaps the Jove ship will intantly "jump drive" when its attacked.
That would be a nice display of power. When the cruise missiles arrive on target, it will be long gone  Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station |

There are rather alot of people that will have a pop at the jove guy I should think. Which in a way is roleplaying and showing a little more imagination than the muppets who just blindly follow whatever is plastered in the news.
However since jump drives aren't in game (according to latest eve-db) and since the new mode of transport is mentioned then the Jove has a pretty much free hand to use gm type commands to teleport around.
So anyone hoping for l33t jump drive bp or item drop is very likely going to be dissapointed.
My own personal opinion is that I hope someone does shoot him down, at least then the massive disruption/server crashes will be kept to within a shorter time period as possible.
Sadly however I have rl matters today though :((
BTW how do u intend to escort the jove in what will probably be 1.0 space when the only attackers are likely suicide frigates anyway? Even in rp terms thats kind of crazy...
Awaiting the arrival of decent roleplayers in eve!

We may not like the Jove but we are also loyal to our Emperor - This ambassador is a GUEST of our Emperor and therefore deserves our hospitality.

Ooops guess I must of missed any significant gameplay events that any supposed eve rp corp has been active in.
(Pls do not quote events by corps who are half and half, ie rp when it suits them and go right against it at others... Thx) --

A Force big enough of tanked Scorpions orbiting the jove ship would make a pretty good defence shield against the cruise missiles.
And if you are waiting for good RP players in EVE "OH STAVROS GREAT ROLEPLAY MASTER", some are already here, but EVE lacks the means to do it. Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station |

RP is perfectly possible, although hard in eve. If a corp of enough likeminded and skilled players were to band together they could rp very successfully from which ever angle they wanted.
Like any other profession in eve, to be good at rp your gonna need a lot of skill at EVE in general.
Also like a lot of other professions in eve, there are very few players with the skills to RP well.
Your comments about shield tanked scorpions are laughable btw and the comment you carry in your quitline makes me respect you even less :(
Thx for reading!

If you visited the foruns more often, you would know what type of gameplay i defend and what is the meaning of my sig.
It's also sad you forget so easely a person that fought side by side with you in the old TLBC days. I'm the "crazy" Smart Bomb guy from TLBC. Nice to see you have a big memory  Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station |

I used to have a bash at RP but those days are sadly behind me because CCP dont support it, or so I felt.
Now I just shoot stuff and get stuff shot. Shooting Dev controlled stuff is always fun til they command kill you  So HMV consider Andy Williams and Dean Martin to be "easy listening" do they? Tell that to my mate Dave, he's been deaf for 20 years.

Role play in EVE all too often is no better than role play in most public chat rooms... improvisational slapstick antics... Cept in EVE they are often flavored with sci fi elements, and once in a while the player actually references something to do with EVE.
I VERY RARELY see real in character interaction between players... and when I do, it's all too often the stereotypical "DIE AMAR SLAVER SCUM!" Oh well least it's something...
Anyway I'm not knockin role play at all... thats my prefered way of EVEing...
But the glory of EVE is it's very easy to remain in character without having to do much at all...
Since we're talking about a futuristic world, all the things we currently enjoy in real life can easily have a EVE counterpart.
Instead of TV, pretend the guy said Holovid... and so on.
As to the jove guy, If I log back on after DT, I'm gonna just try and sneak a peek at him and see if I can get a screenie of the ship, maybe even hail him and try and role play with him...
Remember people, Jove like information about culture and other odd things they have since lost... I got a whole shipment of holoreels for him just in case :)
