It's fairly obvious that aaa and the south is largely run by the soviets, apart from delve and querious (discounting npc and idiots).
It's fairly obvious that the north will be controlled by the bob/scandinavian/euro blob.
How embarrassing must it be to be american in eve ?
You have absolutely no powerblocs, even the french ffs have marginalised you and have claimed space in the name of france.
Are we to live in an eve universe where power is e-bayed between jake nobles AAA and his scandinavian / euro BOB power sharing extavaganza ?
Are americans happy to play second/third fidddle to this ???
Before you post and before you x up in these russian/north euro fleets, go check your identity and think if you're happy to trade the stars and stripes for a sickle and a frozen scythe...

Eve is a much more euro sided game than most main stream MMO's. And its funny how you say "embarrassing" as if we are SUPPOSED to control eve. Cmon Sasha.

America is a country not a single nation. Walk through any major city in America and you will pass a different country every block.
America is culturally bankrupt.
America is not a melting pot, it's a place where the world's s****comes to buy cheap fencing.
Fifty years ago, America was an absolutely different country. The America you see in war films is not that way today.
America sold their freedom for convenience and the illusion of choice of half-ass produced material wealth.
America gave up their pride, craftsmanship and individuality for equality.
You can not win the race, when you are chained to the slowest runner.
Wage is the new slavery and the slaves are docile because they can have a choice of cheeseburgers.
America is over, everyone knows it. Civilization is fleeting, it can only sustain itself so long as their is enough resources to mindlessly consume. What do you really expect? People to actually admit that they are Americans? How embarrassing.

I think you make a mistake in assuming that AAA and Red alliance and the other russian speaking alliances are strickly "russian" alliances. And even TCF will say they are not a french alliance, they are a french speaking alliance. If you look at it like this, there are not really any "American" alliances, but there are English speaking alliances. And it seems to me that eve is controlled mostly be English speaking alliances than any other language.

I think the differences between Goonswarm and BoB are quite obvious given their different nationalities. Despite being a far younger alliance than BoB, Goonswarm has achieved much more, and goons are free from the sort of red-pen waving tyranny of BoB's whiny prima donna leadership. BoB has achieved what it has because of dev corruption(i.e., socialism) while Goonswarm's success is based on hands-off laissez-faire economics. |

Dude its a game! However corrupt you think America is. We are not Morally currupt. American Citizens not government but the citizens Donate 0ver 300 Billion dollars to charity Which range from Food banks in the United States to HIV/AIDs Clinics In Africa And much more The Entire GDP for Saudi Arabia is only 370 billion. Not too mention the Billions spent by our government abroad as well. Now I'm not gonna say Our government Makes the best decisions. But I will Say Americans are anything but corrupt.

I'm amazed no one has pointed out that the euro's are a bunch of insomniacs. They usually don't log off until about 1 hour before I'm going to log off, usually midnight or earlier. Australians are early risers in the gaming community and tend to join us around 10 pm. So it's less of a question of having an independent time zone as OP seems to think. Which is great because it allows us Americans to laugh at your moon speak.

this thread appears to be the sort of watershed moment that marks a disturbing nadir our 'community' has sunken to of late.
Most of eve's sizable powers have over time shifted beyond exclusively-national or cultural bonds, and although its obvious that your forum bigotry is offered up for the sole purpose of getting some reaction out of people, you should be punished in accordance to the same rules that govern any manner of ethnic slur or incitement.

here's some food for thought. i'm from iceland originally, my family is of largely of russian extraction and i presently reside in los angeles, US.
if i were to judge from some of the replies to this thread, it seems that being 'american' is hereby defined as a brand of ignorance and bigotry, which doesn't really describe well the sort of people i know in real life. come to think of it, the behaviour doesn't really differ that much from european trolls or any other.
rather than claim some national or cultural identities to champion on here, why don't we make it easier by referring to such people as 'internet ******s'

Hmmm, Sounds like a person pretending to be a sociologist, talking about a place they don't fully understand, and grouping people from there into one catagory. Yes we as a people make many mistakes, as if the rest of the world never did / does. You say we sold our freedom for equality. Some people in the human race believe that everyone has potential. Even though our systems fail on many levels, and they do for anyone ready and willing to defend them blindly, they are not perfect and never will be, (back to the point) we attempt to fix things. And your right its hard to win a race chained to the back of it. But if anyone will do it, we will. So far you only show that you can't and are unwilling to try. Here is a nice idea. Instead of declaring devine justice on someone, and producing a paragraph long repertoire of our failures in what seems to be a poorly arranged sociological statement, learn something. Go back to school if you have not already. Oh for the record, yes the majorities of control are shared by euro timezones, russian timezones and what have you. We are blended. I see the web as a way to interact with people based on ideals. Personally I believe in the things my corp believes in. And that is why I don't own my own space. We do. And if you'd like, We will be happy to come take yours. Off your soapbox and man up child. One more thing. I am an individual. I am like no other, clearly seen by my look, but also my personality. Sure I am albino, and there are not many to match me. But also my personality is unlike the person next to me. Freedom is stilll elusive to many people. we are not perfect. But I have my pride. I write music, and produce wonderful sound to the world. What do you do? Go play your game. Defender your home in it because one day you will loose it.

Originally by: Tellenta I'm amazed no one has pointed out that the euro's are a bunch of insomniacs. They usually don't log off until about 1 hour before I'm going to log off, usually midnight or earlier. Which is great because it allows us Americans to laugh at your moon speak.
here's some food for thought. i'm from iceland originally, my family is of largely of russian extraction and i presently reside in los angeles, US.
if i were to judge from some of the replies to this thread, it seems that being 'american' is hereby defined as a brand of ignorance and bigotry, which doesn't really describe well the sort of people i know in real life. come to think of it, the behaviour doesn't really differ that much from european trolls or any other.
rather than claim some national or cultural identities to champion on here, why don't we make it easier by referring to such people as 'internet ******s'
This is a lolamerica thread, the answer to the op's question is pretty much this. We are in the 'euro/russian' corps having fun. But that doesn't make as good of a troll. OP did a good job.

The US, is no longer what it used to be... much of the freedom it once had, is now restricted with draconic laws....
Just one off the top of my head is the DMCA (the new law regarding software piracy)...
Although here are still some basic rights that I like.. such as easy access to weapons, the legal right to kill trespassers on your land, stuff most EU countries don't have :(
To the guy who asked who is American.. well I think there are like 500mil definitions :P Everyone defines it different.. for one its freedom to do x, the other is the economic opportunities etc. So, its only the passport that defines the ppl.. that's why nobody cares really...

Fifty years ago, America was an absolutely different country. The America you see in war films is not that way today.
The "America" you see in 50 years old films is also not what it was then.
In December 1955, on the heels of the Baton Rouge bus boycott and the Brown decision, Rosa Parks, a 43-year-old black seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man in defiance of local Jim Crow lawsùigniting the modern civil rights movement. E. D. Nixon, the highly respected black labor leader who had organized the Black Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Union in Montgomery, bailed Parks out of jail and gained her consent to use her case to challenge Jim Crow.
In February 1956, the MIA filed suit in the U.S. District Court challenging the legality of segregated buses. Shortly thereafter, King and some 90 other activists were arrested for conspiring to organize a boycott. KingÆs trial made national news and exposed the ugly face of Jim Crow transportation. In June 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the MIA.

Racist?
Quote:
America is over, everyone knows it. Civilization is fleeting, it can only sustain itself so long as their is enough resources to mindlessly consume. What do you really expect? People to actually admit that they are Americans? How embarrassing.
The USA are a huge country and it still has some self-healing powers left, although it depends very much on the judicial system whether they will be effective - and that has been perverted also, look at the RIAA lawsuits, the anti-terrorism legislation including secret laws ... We'll see.

It's fairly obvious that the north will be controlled by the bob/scandinavian/euro blob.
How embarrassing must it be to be american in eve ?
You have absolutely no powerblocs, even the french ffs have marginalised you and have claimed space in the name of france.
Are we to live in an eve universe where power is e-bayed between jake nobles AAA and his scandinavian / euro BOB power sharing extavaganza ?
Are americans happy to play second/third fidddle to this ???
Before you post and before you x up in these russian/north euro fleets, go check your identity and think if you're happy to trade the stars and stripes for a sickle and a frozen scythe...

What you fail to realise is that the judiciary has no power. Can the judiciary order the army to step in and remove the dictator in power? How many times has the judiciary ruled that Guantanamo Bay should be closed and all prisoners released? You are talking as if the US is a democracy in which freedom actually matters.
Now I'm waiting for those who don't know the meaning of republic to spam that the US is not a democracy but a republic. Farjung is my God

IKEA kicks ass - it's one of the few stores that you can legitimately take a date to and have a great time not buying anything.
As for why why there are no "American Powerblocks" - I would guess that there is a real cultural reason. America stresses individualism and being a major player in a Power block requires the individuals to work towards a collective goal - not exactly something Americans are known for. ------------------------------------------------ There are only two types of ships: those which have blown up; and those which will.

Most of the organized American "groups" of gamers I have come across play fantasy games. All of the "power gamers" as well. The ones that play for 8+ hours a day. It just isnt my bag. Shadowbane, DAOC Wow, and most recently AoC, and War. Also first person shooters are big as well Halo 3, CoD 4, all of the battle field series. Those get more positive exposure from a "social" stand point then Eve in America that is for sure.
I have played MMOs on and off since 2003, and I didnt even know Eve existed until 2006. I respect the people who have been able to dominate the same time consuming hobby for 4 or 5 straight years, because I know I could not for many reasons.
I own a T2 BPO and Capital alt, therefor all of my views will be pro-Capital Alt/T2 BPO orientated. Please pick one of the following settings for your response. []hate me []troll me []smack me |

You're not supposed to play one game only day in day out, it will get you burned out very quickly. I play EVE, COD 4, Assassins Creed (still haven't finished it), Civilisation IV, GRAW, The Witcher and a card game from time to time. EVE doesn't bore me to death and I never feel that I have reached the point where I just can't log in anymore. When I get fed up with EVE I do something else. Most people who play one game only for a prolonged period of time leave, never to return. Farjung is my God

Who the heck cares? I'm here to have fun in a make-believe world. Not drag politics and regional differences based on where some stupid king in the 100 BC once took a dump into a game. Let's worry more about lag and less about where people are from.
What he said.
Then think of the timezones. Most of EU is GMT, UK just an hour behind. Most of the russians will be in central or western parts, not far from the eastern european countries who also happens to either speak or understand russian. North America is quite widespread timezone wise.
Still, who cares where people from really, what GulletSplitter said.
