I Didn't Want To Play EVE Anyways
My connection issues - which prevented me from participating in the Thukk You, Frill Me events - have gotten so bad that I can barely log on long enough to change skills. Sometimes the client doesn't get past the… -
The Economics of Ice Mining
Some folks have asked why I'm joining in the Goonswarm gank-fest on ice miners in Gallente space. After all, I'm not profiting personally from Goons takeover of the market, or of their ship-reinbursment program. I'll… -
Review: Incarna. Also: Where's Paul?
Welp, at least they didn't break anything that mattered this time. Actually, they did break a lot of things in addition to the fail extra content. Sigh. :( I knew that they could make a relatively pretty… -
CSM Polls Are Open!
Go vote now! My five votes went to Arden Elenduil , who states that his goal is "to return the game to its original state of being an unforgiving place." There are other good candidates, and I don't agree with Arden on… -
Bruce Schneier on Societal Security
Sorry for When-RL-Invades post, but in my exploration of corporate infiltration in Eve I've given a lot of thought to security and trust models. Particularly, I'm interested in how the differences in identity and… -
Heartbeat
Why hello there! Nope, not dead. All of my accounts are still active. Been taking a large break recently, but EVE is starting to feel new again to me. :) If jerks is changing, I'm here to change with it. No way I'm… -
Slow Posting
I'm on the verge of burnout in Eve. Some of the activities popularized by this blog have become so commonplace that I feel like much less of an innovator when I'm doing them. Corp infiltration is still interesting, but… -
Aegamaeous, Aelemaeous, Please Shut the Fuck Up
I am a Jerk. This means I am prepared to be an honorless bastard with no morals. However I reserve this for my targets - others of similar mindset are (usually) treated with a spirit of comradeship until otherwise… -
Slow Posting
I won't be playing much this week, as the Missus and I are celebrating Numerically Significant Anniversary and will be out of town. I would like to mention that I made a cool billion with about five minutes of random… -
CSM5 Voting is Underway
Vote now ! It only takes a couple of minutes. My four votes were split between Mynxee and Manalapan . Tchell Dahnn should come back and run for CSM6. Or maybe I will. Hmmm. -

We Are Not Dead
Just a quick note to our readers: I know it's been about a week since a post, but we haven't gone off the radar. It's the dreaded Real Life. Khalia moved across the country. Paul has a demanding new job. Charismatic is… -
What's Your EVESpace like?
Myxee asked , I answer: This is a bit out of date (old enough that I was flying a Slasher instead of a Vigil, and a transport instead of an Orca), but the idea is the same now as then. The black thing I built myself to… -
Thoughts on Why We Play
When I had a boring, non-stressful, lazy desk job, all I wanted to do is come home and play Eve. Now that I've got a job which is physically, mentally, and psychologically demanding, all I want to do is come home and… -
It's Quiet. Too Quiet.
Sorry for my vanishing act during the last week or so. I've started a new job and it's kicking my ass here at the beginning. I've not been completely gone, but the things I've been working on (infiltration work, etc)… -
Academia-Flavored Tears
I thought that one of the more recent comments deserved front-page attention. You are really a worthless sack of shit, that you prey on other people and laugh at them? I realize it's a game but honestly? You're not a… -
She just doesn't understand me like Eve does
I forgot to mention that while I was wtfpwning Joa'har , I had an audience. My wife had come in to the room to ask what we should do about supper. Paul: Hey, what's up? Mrs. Clavet: You hungry yet? What do you want…
