Here’s my origin story about joining Eve, getting the Eve treatment, and how I discovered the Market.

All the small things that shape a Capsuleer’s direction. This origin story details how I ended up becoming a proficient Market Trader and why it is my profession.

Hope you enjoy! Would love some feedback on it. Oh and, this is not exactly fiction, its a fun read about events that really happened to me in game.

The story ends abruptly [before you get to the interesting bits](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=draw+the+rest+of+the+owl).

In any case, some of us (and I bet the majority of adult players) play games to escape from a reality where we’re powerless to act against the corruption, blackmail, extortion, and/or bullying that permeates our societies. And then there are people like you who insist the blank-canvas video game _must_ mirror reality. I’m glad it works for you, I guess…

Yeah I don’t know why you didn’t just put it in general communication…
