EvE is a damn big universe and if PvP fans want to beat each other with pickets, let them organize fights and collect fees from the neutral audience. I’ll buy a Coke and popcorn and come watch it. We will have gladiators and games. Any suggestions on the ticket price? ---

> [@Garet\_Jackyard](#): > > Why does everyone have to play/act like you? Why should they follow your rules? Because gankers can enforce their own rules. They go out and blow up anyone who doesn’t comply. Think of it this way: in the mafia, they call it “protection.” And if you don’t cough up the dough, Moose and Knuckles come to pay your shop a visit. What’s so hard to understand about this?

How do you know that they are alts? Why can’t we just accept the new forum members as their own personality of choice of characters. ---

Because no actual new forum member is a week old character with a hidden profile, to then start posting as if he’s been around for a while. ---

Now which pilot would do such a thing that requires profile peeking? Take each comment thread as face value no matter who typed it. Social interaction should not come with labels such as the two you have mentioned! ---

Not surprised that a habitual alt poster who has a habit of messed up nonsense… is defending alt posting. With that said, not going to derail further. ---

> [@Ria\_Nieyli](#): > > So, what’s the actual program? Hey Ria! TL;DR: Rushlock and friends go out into high sec and convo people mining alone in high sec. If they respond there’s usually a friendly conversation about goals in Eve and the like, and Rushlock usually invites people into his fleet, or gives them cheap exploration ships or the like to get out and about in the universe. At least once, Rush has taken a rookie under his wing and mentors them in adopting this gameplay (on stream). If the person doesn’t respond, declines the convo, or runs away, Rush tries to shoot them and sends them a follow up Eve Mail saying he just wanted to do a wellness check in and see how they were doing. He will call them a “hateful ■■■■” on stream though because of this anti-social behavior. ---
