Amarr Citizen 155 Tleilex Developments	Posted - 2008.12.04 22:32:00 - [1] After reading the discussions and arguments over how and where new players can ask questions and get answers, I had an idea for a new thread. Please read this entire post before responding as I hope to address everything all at once. Purpose: Ask any market related questions you feel you canÆt find in the stickies. If you ask a question that can be answered by reading a specific sticky then IÆll simply post a link to the appropriate sticky and I encourage anyone else reading the thread to do the same if they know the location of the specific resource that will answer the question. If you read a question and know the answer, please feel free to answer it in a polite manner. If you donÆt think you are capable or donÆt want to waste your timeà.then donÆt. ItÆs that simple. This is an attempt to create a central place for new players to ask questions and find quick solutions. What this is not: This is not the thread where you abuse someone asking a question or flame an answer. This thread will have noob questions most likely asked by new players, if you have a problem with that then please avoid this thread. You have been warned. If you donÆt want to participate in the question/answer process then please avoid this thread. Why: The biggest complaint IÆve seen is that new players arenÆt reading the stickies and are starting new threads to ask simple questions. After looking around the forums at the information available I came to the conclusion that the problem may not be entirely related to laziness as we previously thought. There is A LOT of information provided in the stickies at the top of this forum and A LOT of information contained in the threads on the first several pages. As a recent college graduate I can say one of the most difficult parts of most of my classes was writing papers over topics that had tons of resources available on them. It was very difficult to sift through all of the information that could easily be a 30+ page paper and try to write a 20 page maximum length paper. We have to remember that we have been along for the ride and have taken in most of the information as it became available. New players are hit with all of the information at once and are expected to be able to go through it all and make sense of it. Basic Guidelines: Obviously there is no way for me to enforce any rules for this thread other than to report the posting so IÆll call this section ôGuidelinesö. DonÆt flame/troll/break forum rules Please be polite when asking/answering questions, if you canÆt handle this please avoid this thread. DonÆt post asking for investors in this thread, that type of thing needs its own thread. Please avoid topics that would be better left for their own thread so that a full discussion could be had. If you want lots of feedback about an idea, do that idea justice by giving it its own thread. Or ask if a specific topic/idea should have its own thread, there may be 15 threads that thoroughly cover that topic that we can point you towards. If you read them and have something new then a new thread might be appropriate. Avoid this thread like the plague if you donÆt want to see noob questions or questions that you think are noob questions. There should be no question as to the types of things you will see here.

Amarr Citizen 155 Tleilex Developments	Posted - 2008.12.04 22:34:00 - [2] Example Questions: Example Question: How much should I be charging to do courier contracts? Possible Answer: Several factors can go into answering such a question such as how much are others charging? How much is your time worth? How much collateral do you have? You should start by checking the Sell forums to see what others are charging and to see what the requirements/features are of their service. Taking that information into consideration along with the value you put on your time you should be able to come up with a pretty good idea. Example Question: What banks are there in Eve? Example Answer: You can find the list of banks in the stickies at the top of this forum under ôMarket Discussion Resource Threadö The Goal: The goal of this thread is to be able to provide a place for new players to ask questions without having to start a new thread or be afraid of the responses. As new players ask questions they will start to see that most of the answers can be answered by stickies or information that is on the forums and they will get used to using those resources. One could argue that this will become a crutch and make people not want to use the stickies but I think the opposite effect is more realistic. I see it as a way to point people to the stickies and other resources found on MD in a nice way rather than beating them up the first time they make the mistake of not doing research.

Amarr Citizen 155 Tleilex Developments	Posted - 2008.12.05 03:25:00 - [3] Thanks for the offers of help, please feel free to answer anything you feel capable of. As far as stickied, I'm not sure if that is a good idea or not as this somewhat addresses the issue of people not reading the stickies. If it is unpopular and has trouble staying on page 1 then it either isn't needed or it means MD is becoming more active and I will simply post a "Question/Answer" of the day. I got the idea from something I do with my students in class where each day they get a topic such as a new technology or some sort of question that they have to research and respond to or simply read and be informed. We'll see how it goes. Quote: Ricdic (about starting ebank, July 2007): Think of it as a miniature EIB done right. I cannot see this getting anywhere near 700b any time in the future tbh.
Amarr Citizen 155 Tleilex Developments	Posted - 2008.12.05 15:24:00 - [4] Got this question in my evemail today so I'll post it and answer it. FYI, if you would rather evemail me your question for whatever reason that is fine. I'll simply post it here. Question: How can you create corp contracts in a station where your corp doesn't have an office and/or there are no offices available to rent? Answer: Contract the item(s) to yourself. When you go to accept the contract just accept it on behalf of your corp. The item(s) will be moved to the deliveries hangar and you can then create a new contract on behalf of your corp and select items located in the deliveries hangar. That's all there is to it.

Amarr Citizen 155 Tleilex Developments	Posted - 2008.12.06 18:32:00 - [5] Originally by: Lord Zarcam Quick question this time (I hope). When placing a market Buy order for a module (for reprocessing purposes) for say a 3 jump area and someone comes in that is outside this area but places a region wide buy order, and are offering a higher purchase price, their order will override mine everytime, right? Likewise, if someone has a region wide order and I offer a higher purchase price but for a 3-jump area, I would win those orders within my 3-jump area? Just trying to confirm the machanics of the market. I'm I looking at this correctly? Thanks! I believe that is correct in both situations. The highest priced buy order will override all other buy orders within the area that the highest priced buy order is placed. A couple of examples: Buy order A is placed for the entire region @ 100 p/u (per unit). Buy order B is placed for a 3 jump radius @ 101 p/u. Anyone who sells that mod within that 3 jump radius will fill the buy order B so long as they meet the quantity requirements of the order. Anyone who sells outside of that 3 jump radius but still within that region will fill buy order A so long as they meet the order's quantity requirements. Hope that helps.

Amarr Citizen 155 Tleilex Developments	Posted - 2008.12.10 23:56:00 - [7] Another question sent to me via evemail, if someone would like to answer this that would be great. I've got no answer that I feel is adequate for this question. Question: I'm looking to get into manufacturing after having spent the majority of my short eve life in missioning. I've got a small amount of isk saved up, a couple billion, and I'm wondering what the best course of action would be. I've identified several T1 items that I'm interested in and that I have ran the numbers for. 1. Should I purchase the BPO's off the market and then research them or buy researched bpo's? (I've found some researched but they are quite a bit more expensive). 2. How should I handle the movement of minerals from, say, Jita to my manufacturing hub? 3. How should I decide on where to concentrate my sales if the main hubs show fairly even sales data? (split it amongst them?) Thanks in advance.

I think a sticky might be a bad idea as I think this thread works in ways the stickies don't. But the bump is appreciated. Bring on your questions.

Amarr Citizen 155 Alternative Methods Research Group	Posted - 2009.04.18 04:03:00 - [15] Originally by: Vinyil Doll I heard of a "trader bulk mail" existing informing other traders about large sales of various items. Is there any possible link on how exactly this works? I've never heard of this but then again I don't do much trading, can anyone else answer this please??

Amarr Citizen 155 Alternative Methods Research Group	Posted - 2009.05.04 13:51:00 - [16] Originally by: Lord Zarcam I have an easy question this time, any real advantage training Accounting 5 from 4? At 14 days, I can work on a lot of other stuff. But with a current market balance of almost 7B worth of stuff and turning over about 2 to 3b a month in sales. Let me answer your question with a question, what is the advantage of training Accounting from 0 to 4? Quote: Ricdic (about starting ebank, July 2007): Think of it as a miniature EIB done right.

Amarr Citizen 155 Tleilex Developments Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2009.10.02 17:05:00 - [17] Originally by: Firid Soulbane Edited by: Firid Soulbane on 01/10/2009 23:37:03 What happened to EMFI? I have 50k of these shares. From what i can learn then dividends were payed for feb - march this year and then nothing. Cant find any information about what happened. Surely there must be a thread but i must have missed it going back through 70 pages of threads. There's an easier way to search for information you think is on the eve-o forums. Check out www.eve-search.com. Using that site you can search for all the posts for specific users or you can use keywords to search for information in EMFI or whatever you want. And unlike the eve-online forums search feature, the eve-search search feature actually works and is helpful. <Amarr's signature>
Amarr Citizen 155 Amsen Innovations	Posted - 2009.11.16 01:57:00 - [18] Originally by: cocou Originally by: LaVista Vista Originally by: cocou So I read the rules in the timecode bazaar and I'm wondering what constitutes a bump? Is ANY reply considered a bump or can I change the price or add some info more than once? I'm not looking for a way around just a clarification on what a bump is exactly. I think you best bet at an answer for that, would be to fill a petition in the Community category ingame. Then one of the moderators will answer you question. Why? Is it a secret? I wouldn't call it a secret, it's one of those things that should be explained to you by the individuals that created the rules. We could tell you what we think a bump is but then again we aren't the ones that will or will not have a problem with how you bump your threads. The safest bet is to ask those in charge of the "bump" policy so that you know exactly what is ok and what is not. Titan BPC Auction Thread

Ray is selling AATPH shares. Generally how those work is you bid on how many shares you want and at the price you want to bid. No it's not a scam.

Amarr Citizen 155 Nordar Innovations.	Posted - 2011.01.05 03:56:00 - [22] Originally by: Chesty McJubblies I've got a couple of questions; 1. What was your name before it was changed for you? 2. Do you like your new name? I assume you're asking me. 1. NAMBLA, I was having some fun after watching the episode of south park on tv that made fun of the RL NAMBLA organization but I guess it was taken too literally and someone petitioned. 2. I wouldn't call it new, it's been this way for several years now. I've pretty much gotten used to how badass it is.
