Happy B-Day BIG 
"Come on God. Answer me. For years I am asking you why. Why are
the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is
punishment? Or have you already answered? Have you already said to the
world, here is justice, here is punishment, here..............in me"

Congrats BIG from Muppets Inc.
BIG corp has been a large part of Eve since I started playing over a year ago - to the extent that in the first part of my career I thought you were an NPC corp
Now for the important question that everyone asks at these times ... So what did you get for your birthday then? Anything good?

We'd been chaining enough spawns down in Fountain for awhile for everyone to be given a Basic Damage Control Unit. I still had one from when I won an event last year sometime, so I refined this one and built a heavy missile with the trit I got. I haven't used it yet, though, so if you want I can put it on the market for you...

Ahhh memoriesà..
I signed up for the EVE beta on the 20th of febuary 2002 after having become aware of the game in late 2001. In 2001 I played Jumpgate for a few months, but it failed to captivate me as I wanted more depth and interaction with other players.
Then in late 2001 I got the opportunity to be part of the beta 5 phase I think and I was instantly hooked. The graphics were stunning and the ideas about a single server for everyone where the economy would player driven was just what I had always envisioned a great game would entail.
I had played a LP MUD called Moral Decay which had a player driven economy where you collected the corpses and loot of the npcÆs you killed. Corpses were sold to a player owned processorplant and rubbish loot were sold to a player owned smelter plant. The owners of these plants got raw alcohol and various metals. The alcohol were bought by owners of distilleries to be destilled into drinkable potions sold to owners of bars who then sold them to players which used them to regain theor strength after coming back from the dungeons. The metals from the smelters were sold to weapon- and armorsmiths who used them to make new weapons and armor to sell to players.
It was a fantastic system and we had some great tradewars. As the game allowed for PvP the various factions took turns trying to get control of various segments of the industry apparatus to increase their profits, by simply going on rampages trying to eliminate the competition .
The possibility of having tradewars is something I miss in EVE. People are too anonymous and orders are stacked beneath eachother on the market so itÆs quite difficult to get a clear view of who your competitors are, which is too bad. But enough about the current situation in EVE.
At the end of January 2002 one of my friends (Slambert) told me about a corporation called ôBIGö which he had been studying and felt had the "right stuff" to make it in a competitive hardcore game which werenÆt forgiving about mistakes made by you. I read the BIG mission statement and corporate ethos and felt that it had the mindset which fitted my playing style. I got signed up for an interview with TornSoul. The interview took place Friday the 31th of January 2002 and after an hour or so of interviewing (we discussed the game Stars! among other things) I got the BIGun badge and were enrolled.
As the game went gold on the 6th of may 2002 I remember a frantic period in the week that followed to get the game in Denmark were I live as the distribution just wasnÆt as complete as one could have whished, but I got online on the 14th and proceeded to Fricoure to meet up with the rest of the BIGuns I knew from Beta and who had gotten in-game at the time. Soon we in full motion and later during that year I made enough noise standing on a soapbox making suggestions about how we could improve the infrastructure of our corp, that I got promoted to President of Administration.
Well enough stories from the good old days. Happy birthday BIG and may you get another fruitful year.
ItÆs been a blast these last few years and I can hardly wait to see what lies in store for us and EVE in general with the release of the Shiva expansion.
