> [@Asveron\_Durr](#): > > last time i heard somene calculate it…it was 34 yrs on 1 char naturally training to max every skill The calculations are all over the place. It ranges from 24 years, to 28 year, to over 30 and on. Most if those people came to their conclusions using evemon back when that was a highly supported program. A recent reddit post i found had someone figure 10,281 days 7 hours, 51 minutes, and 9 seconds, or 28.17 years. Now there are several variations…implants, the skills that were still available at the time of the calculation, etc. After all the bit of reading and taking the averages, i came up with 24+ years (give or take) Its a pretty fascinating question though. Im sure somebody out there has in fact come up with the exact time it takes. ---

Used to be (I think it’s been changed or maybe it’s bugged), when you biomassed a character, there was a sound effect that sounded like a scream. Creepy, in a good way, for this game. ---

People choose to sign up for a video game that is over 20 years old and don’t know anything about it. They dont know any history, such as well documented skulldaggery, they don’t know that this is a pvp oriented game, they don’t know that it has been studied as a wartime economy, they don’t know anything at all about markets or economy, they don’t know any lore. They choose to sign up but don’t know what they are signing up for, which is also their own choice. Then they want everything to change to fit their desire for the sims in space. ---

I think one fun fact that a lot of folks tend to overlook is that capsuleers are in a pod of jelly controlling everything with their minds. I dont recall if aura helps with that. But if you think about it, our characters are closer to robots than humans. feels similar to rogue drones, except we get to buy space ships, and apparently vote in empire politics. ---

> [@Remi\_Lacroix](#): > > apparently vote in empire politics Capsuleers aren’t eligible for vote, even if they were Gallente citizens. We apparently resign our citizenships when we become empyreans. What we’re doing in-game right now is aiding the presidential campaigns, not actually voting. It all strikes me as a silly excuse to explain why non-Gallente are participating in the event, I certainly can’t recall this ever having been mentioned before this event, but it is what it is. ---
