I once was a space-famous rascal.
This is an archive of the Eve Online blog My Loot, Your Tears, featuring Paul Clavet and friends. Eve was a very different game and I was a very different person. I’m not ashamed of my past: I enjoyed being the Dangerous Bad Guy in a game that advertised itself as featuring Dangerous Bad Guys. I was even cited by name in an academic journal about what a bad person I was. Time and experience has softened me both in Eve and in meatspace, but I’m happy to reopen the book on this time in the game.

Back in the Sadae, I Mean, Saddle
So, I'm back, after about eight months away. As a small business owner, I get to decide when I work. As a small business owner with a crushing inferiority complex and a massive fear of bankruptcy, I had been deciding to basically work all the time, despite the business doing… -
Finding stations with multiple locator agents
So uh, been a while, eh? I'm back and stirring up trouble, but the details on that are for another post. While engaging in wardec shenanigans with Skunkworks (whose Fearless Leader, Psychotic Monk, should totally get your CSM vote , despite him being Canadian and terrible), I… -
Convince Me To Start Playing Again
Ok EVE players, my internet woes from a while ago *may* be solved. But I've stopping caring about the game, except for the sad yet interesting story of Sean Smith. Can anyone give me a compelling reason to play again? All ideas welcomed! -
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 "Loading .... " bar. Sometimes I get a socket reset after logging… -

I Wanna Be Where the Victims Are
Soooo, Minmatar FW is still a thing. The Goons may have pushed the balance of power to the breaking point, but the Minmatar were the dominant force before the exploit, and remain dominant after. I cashed out last night at reward level T5, which still happens once a week or so. I… -
CANCELED: Suicide-gank Contest (Blame CCP)
Sadly, I have to cancel today's suicide-gank because CCP's servers are so unstable I have been unable to stay logged in for more than ten minutes without a client disconnect. This seems to be happening to a number of people, and you can see the threads about this here and here .… -
