If you’re going to share something embarrassing about yourself, that’s a willing act of self-deprecation, and it’s irrational to get upset if someone makes fun of it. If you don’t want anyone to make fun of you for it, then don’t share. ---

I was advised to just forget about gankers and move on, contrary to what I thought would have been more fun, which is keep a revenge list. Revenge is initially a really good motivator. I think even CCP recognise that when they say being ganked actually makes people _more_ likely to stay in the game. ---

You don’t want me to start down this kind of e-peen measuring contest, do you? All of those are examples that you would be expected to win given the ship matchups. A cruiser would be expected to kill a destroyer. Although credit where due, nice catch on the Pacifier. ---

you see, thats the issue you guys have i never intended to flex, i simply showed some kills that arent ventures because i got “attacked” for doing that aswell also i just noticed i posted the wrong paci kill, the one i linked was explo fit not pvp fit > **[Pacifier | Evarra woogelt | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/114082255/)** > > Evarra woogelt (League of the Shieldy) lost their Pacifier in Q-GICU (The Kalevala Expanse) Total Value: 317,703,113.12 ISK but then again, killing a pacifier in an astero isnt really impressive aswell, since they have about 0 counterplay if i use double webs and they just never get into dmg range ---

> [@Tirador69](#): > > i never intended to flex, except you _did_ flex. someone called you out and you just had to jump in and flex. Here’s the thing about killboards: the less you care about them, the more fun you’ll have. Am I ‘proud’ of my KB? Yeah, it’s not bad. Do I give a [redacted] about my KB? Not in the slightest. You’ll meet people in EVE who will refuse to fly X or Y ship because “if it dies, it’ll look bad on my KB”. I’ve always found such people to be tedious in the extreme. And finally, try the dual rep/cap injector Astero fit. works a charm. you’ll tank until you run out of capsticks. ---

Dang. My application to KarmaFleet was rejected. 🤷‍♂️ Not to sound salty, but that’s kind of annoying. I wonder if it’s because I was pretty vague with my answer of “what do you want to do in Eve”, which imo, is a hard question to answer if you don’t know many people, and you don’t even know what roles there are in eve. ---

> [@Ryan\_Arbee](#): > > My application to KarmaFleet was rejected. I’ve seen multiple newbros mention they got declined by Karmafleet over the last 3 or 4 years. Karmafleet doesn’t provide reasons or feedback although sometimes you might get a bit more info if you (politely) message/mail one of their recruiter types. Newbro-friendly doesn’t mean “accepts all”, and of course null corps etc. do have some concerns about spies etc. Still, they’re not the only option, so just keep looking and it’s Karmafleet’s loss. ---
