It's Not TV. It's EVE.

Everyone has a reason to play EVE Online. For many, it's to save highsec by enforcing the Code.


Others have a less good reason.


Evergreener was caught mining in a 0.9 security system without a permit. That, combined with the fact that Evergreener belonged to an NPC corp, might lead one to assume that he was a newbie. In fact, he began playing EVE over seven and a half years ago. In all that time, mining in highsec with a fail-fit Covetor was the best idea he'd come up with. Midslot? Lowslots? Who needs 'em?


No one had ever bothered to teach Evergreener how to do more in EVE. The miner was lucky to make the acquaintance of Agents Ilithyia Borgia and Mal Warre.


As was already apparent in the conversation unfolding in local, Ilithyia and Mal were simpatico. They were of one mind, completely attuned to the Code and therefore to each other. In the future, all highsec will be like this. Random strangers in Jita will finish each other's sentences. As in:

"Praise..."
"...James 315!"

It'll make for a great atmosphere for new players.


Ilithyia believed (correctly) that EVE is a spaceship combat game. Evergreener felt the right way to play EVE was to AFK mine in highsec in a barely-fit ship, get ganked, and then go ballistic in local. I don't think that's the kind of sandbox CCP intended. More to the point, it's not what I intended.


A troubling question for the rebels and skeptics out there: Assuming (contrary to all evidence) that ganking makes people quit EVE, if we truly care about CCP's subscription revenues, should the New Order focus its attacks on people with free accounts?


Evergreener was discouraged to learn that ganking still exists in EVE. I suppose he assumed CCP would've nerfed it out of the game by now.


Many highsec miners are ashamed to be highsec miners. Evergreener came up with a new cover story: He was really a lowsec miner. More damning, however, was his admission that he wants CCP to make lowsec safer!


The trouble with being a self-hating carebear is that whenever you lose your ship, you simultaneously get exposed as a highsec miner. It's a double-whammy.


Our Agents didn't believe Evergreener's lies for a moment. I do have to give Evergreener some credit, though: "It was a side corp" sounds like a great all-purpose excuse.


The miner finally revealed his true intentions--he wanted a game that allowed him to watch TV and relax. That's not my vision for EVE, though. All you carebears reading this, heed my advice: If you want to watch TV and relax, don't play EVE. Watch TV and relax.

  1. I wish I could understand the mindset of the carebear that spends additional money a month to simply... watch TV. Spend another $15/mo in addition to your cable bill so you can "play" EvE and watch TV.

    Carebears need help.

    2. It doesn't make much sense. And if it doesn't make sense, it's probably not true. More likely he signed up for Eve with great intentions and then defaulted to mining because of lack of imagination.

  3. Screw these carebears and any highsec criminal bots that support or try to protect them.


    That dumbass has never left hisec, on any alt, at any time.

    What we have here is a failure to communicate.
    CCP failed to communicate to these carebears that EVE is PVP.


    Good thing the Agents were here to educate him.

  8. @wolf 7:53 / That was bait son, and you took it hook, line and sinker. You had posted that quote as Chapo Muerte. You really need to work on your reading comprehension. That means, how well you actually understand what you read. Ritalin would probably be a good idea in your case. Cheers!

  11. The Lost Ways Review

    A life changing disaster can happen at any time. Having a disaster survival kit you can access at a moment's notice can mean the difference between life and death for you and your family.While you can buy any number of different survival kits, it is just as easier - and usually less expensive - to assemble your own survival kit.

  14. Hi,

    there are 2 known bot-miner groups in Kino and Yoma, why do you guys do nothing there?
    Maybe because there not so easy kills? Afraid?

    yeah, protected skiffs are not so easy to kill...

  17. you forgot to say you are in uedama watching freighters blow up on your face because you cant stop the ganks XD XD

    why do you drop corp everytime you get wardecced? XD XD

  18. Well hello loyal! Even someone with your limited intellect can understand the challenges of stopping 30 ships from ganking a freighter. Now conversely, it's so easy to gank a freighter. You know it as well as I do. I'm sorry you were picked on as a kid but there are better ways to take out your frustration. War Dec? Man, that's a tough one. One-man corp versus 97-man alliance. I really can't think of a good answer.

  20. what to expect from IoT has an extremely broad range of interpretations. Some immediately think of the “thing” itself as a connected thermostat. Others see it as a means to extend products into services. Most interpretations gravitate toward financial reward through data collection and analysis.
