For every Eve Online there is an "Elite".
For every "Championship Manager'10" there is a "Football Manager '83"
and for every HL2 a "Monster Maze"

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. As the saying goes.
Eve Online was already won by Goonswarm :shiver:
During my "early" period in Eve, the hardcore PvPers were in MoO and the guiding hand social club.
I flew in the Stain Alliance under Everlasting Vendetta commanded by Joshua Calvert.

Now, I can't be arsed "moving up the ranks" in another alliance. Takes too much time to build a decent character and reputation.
So I pottered about in the Empire with a trader alt and make cash. I even got bored of that and canned my subs (always had two accounts and ran two clients on one box).
I will probably pick it up again. Got into wormhole surveying a little while ago. :dono:
I wanted to see planets, and a bit of walking about in the station (and make it worthwhile to do so.)

....So...you want the gay parts of eve? :shiver:

Walking in Stations and pwetty planet graphics mean nothing to me, the server is broken, fights can't be fought without the node crashing, and jumping into a fleet at combat range is suicide. Somehow, a 600 man fight in Dominion puts more server hurt than a 2400 man fight in Empyrean age.
"Another aspect of the particulateness of the gene is that is does not grow senile; it is no more likely to die when it is a million years old than when it is only a hundred. It leaps from body to body in it's own way and for its own ends, abandoning a succession of mortal bodies before they sink in senility and death" -Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene p.34

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.
