I like Shipwreck. He tries and he makes you think. đŸ•¶ “Not wanting to lose the investments of years past.” I gave out billions to new players just trying to help. “Our empathy has us feeling responsible for their pain.” I feel no pain at all when you screw up and let me pop you. Sorry. “We are lonely and fear we will be forever.” While I sure do miss all my missing friends in the game, CCP drove them out. Meh. What can you do but stay and hope. “We don’t want to give up on a romanticized idea of the relationship.” I gave up 10 yrs ago, but still stayed. “We see the potential of the person versus the reality.” Tell that to Cilla. “We don’t believe we can do better.” Then you have no place in EVE. ---

> [@Ursula\_Anders](#): > > Is EVE only a mindless pew-pew-u-dead game? At its core, yes. That is why it’s important to be prepared and keep yourself informationally informed. Because no matter the activity -no matter how peaceful, or pacifistic it is- someone is lurking in the shadows ready to push you off that cliff into that abyss of mindless pew-pew-you-dead game play. And there are many different ways of shoving people into that abyss. That’s why EvE is such an amazing, grim-dark game. ---

> [@Tom\_Sklor](#): > > People who try to tear people down for their personal accomplishments, no matter how trivial, are bullies and scum. But dealing with that is itself a _part_ of Eve. No matter what you do in Eve there will always be someone who has done more saying ’ is that _all_ you have done ?’ But every big cheese in Eve was undoubtedly once proud of their own first ship, first kill, etc. I remember my first kill was like a ’ wow
I finally did it’ moment. And the survivors in Eve are those whom nobody can take that moment from
or any subsequent moment. ---

What is EVE Online? It’s a game is designed to beat human nature. Coming from an era where “bored” games were all we had, EVE allows us to fight other humans on a scale unimaginable when I was young. Fighting an AI when games 1st came out is fine. But humans always find the pattern. And until AI arrives and we, as humans have a more worthy adversary, EVE is all we have. ---
