What Is The First Ever Corporation In Eve Online Called ?
iâm a bit itchy about replying, because googling âthe first corporation in eve onlineâ answered the question and i am a firm believer that people who canât even google simple stuff themselves shouldnât be encouraged to keep asking easily researchable things.
Anyhow, iâm having a good day today.
your answer is somewhere in here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=164213
iâm a bit itchy about replying, because you are probably so young that you think google has been around for ever and is the answer to life the universe and everything.
But before google (1998) there was web forums where people could ask questions and people would answer them them the best they could, without sounding smug or telling them to go google it themself.
Google is not God and Google maybe knows everything, but finding it can take longer than asking the professionals (as we must assume people in here are), so please act like a professional and just answer the man, if you know the answer.
Also, Google is NOT uniform across the globe and gives different answers to a query depending on the country you live in, so donât assume that everybody else gets the same search results as you.
This is my result from the query âthe first corporation in eve onlineâ at Google
(no country redirect)
No! I dont want to join a new corporation.
If youâve really been using the internet that long, then you should know how to modify your search terms.
And the first Alliance in new eden isâŚ
UshraâKhan [UNITY]
Weâre always recruiting.
it made me laugh how some poster in here assumed my age.
also, wow, UâK still exists! How did you guys not die out?
The question was not if I knew how to find the right answer on google, the question is how do you respond, in a helpful way, to other peoples questions. In that progress I just pointet out, that asking the other person to go google âthe first corporation in eve onlineâ would actually not give the answer.
BTW. Your LMGTFY did neither on my PC
But funny enough did on my Phone.
Which sort of prove the point I was trying to convey in my response to @yellow_parasol.
A website that clams to knew the truth, that âGoogle is Godâ but canât even get Googles motto right. Right!?
And Google still can NOT give the right answer to the search query âWhat was the first corporation in eve online?â even though the question is an easy understandable, grammatically correct sentence / question.
It cant even give the answer to OPâs question âWhat Is The First Ever Corporation In Eve Online Called ?â.
First of all, understanding parody a bit more than you apparently do would do wonders for your ability to see the humour in my âGoogle is Godâ post. Secondly, there is definitely not enough Deus Vulting going on for this much white-knighting for the OP, especially considering that the first response wasnât just âgoogle itâ, it also provided some actual answers. You are hyperventilating over nothing. Have some juice.
i completely forgot that search results can vary and admit that iâve made a mistake in that regard.
What doesnât change, though, is that it is in fact a question answerable by google. of course the answer doesnât necessarily have to be visible in the search results directly, though. clicking links and looking for it is a necessity in almost all cases when someone looks for an answer.
thatâs what i did. i found the answer and posted the link that contains it. I insist on people learning to fish, instead of handing them fish. if theyâre handed too many fishes, they will always expect others to fish for them. just like the op. that there are personalized search results doesnât change the fact that the answer can be found simply by trying harder.
if i had had ill intentions, i wouldnât have posted the link, btw, and if the OP isnât capable of looking through said link himself, then he doesnât deserve an answer in the first place.
Being helpful doesnât mean to give people fish. thatâs the opposite of being helpful. it breeds dependency on those who actually know how to fish. spciety as a whole benefits from people being able to fish themselves. and, of course, not all questions are equal, but the easy ones are easily noticable as such.
hell, that i have to explain my POV, so others understand and stop throwing fish around, is rather worrysome.
Iâm sorry.
I didnât know you was a funny man. My bad.
Sometimes parody / humor / irony get lost in translation on the internet. The way it is.
The funniest thing about this LMGTFY epidemic people are getting, thinking that answering a simple question on the internet wonât help other people and just make them lazy, is that the answer to @Paulus_Plain question is found in a Eve Online forum post, where a person was asking the exact same question as OP did.
Just think if the first replier then had answered with a âgoogle it yourselfâ type of answer, insted of actually taking the time to answer the man.
Google today, would not have been able to give you the answer either.
Google is depending on information. Information we help provide it, by sheering information among one another. Sometimes by answering âstupidâ questions on the forums.
So insted of being âthe lazy oneâ try to help Google become better by answering the question.
Here Let my do it for you.
According to @chribba (a pretty reliable sources)
The first corporation in Eve Online is Game Masters and C C P
The first player corporation is Caldari Inquisitors which was formed 2003-05-07
Next time people wont have to google so hard to find the answer (if itâs correct), as there is now two sources.
Just by taking the time to write an answer, containing actually information, to a âstupidâ question on the internet.
Okay mate, climb down off that high horse and calm down. Did you have that juice? It really will make you feel better.
you completely ignore the most important part of this equation:
the more people get ask for easily researchable answers, the less likely they will google things themselves. the more people learn to actually do it themselves (like adults, ya know), the more likely your scenario will actually come true.
youâre kind of off-topic regarding âself responsibilityâ and âindependenceâ. and thatâs what this is actually about:
the fact that giving people fish makes them dependent and that those who hand them the fish are too short sighted to see the fact that they are making the situation worse for everyone else. LMGTFY isnât an epidemic. the epidemic is âdependencyâ and how people grow up in an environment that keeps handing them what they need without them doing anything themselves. that breeds self entitlement.
tldr: while âgoogle it yourselfâ is a bad answer as is, giving the answer directly is even worse. it is better to piss off someone who puts no effort into it, than to feed his self entitlement. if he gets angry, then all he does is exposing his immaturity and inability to act like a self responsible, independent adult. and remember that weâre talking about simple things here, not quantum physics.
anyhow⌠as ccp officially caters to these people (thatâs as clear as fresh water), thereâs nothing that can be done anyway except trying to make a bit less bad. vOv
We could always go completely hands off and just observe, then gamble on what they do next.
Yeah, if it wasnât for those who keep people dependent.
Why would we? We win EVE every day, the warzone is still ours.
Iâm sorry. I donât compute.
Why do you want more people to do it themselves?
Why do you want more people to move to google?
Humans is a social animal and socialising is what binds us together in our society.
Is it that you are uncomfortable with this social interaction?
If all humanity become self dependent, as you are calling it, what would that do to our society?
I have not been raised to see others like a dependent disease, if they need my help. Iâve been raised to offer my help to others where its needed.
But thatâs probably have something to do with the society I grew up in.
A forum is a place where people come to meet around a common interest and socialise with people they feel they have something in common with.
If you push people away from that social interaction, you push people away from the forum.
When people come in here to ask a question, they (well most of them) donât come with the intention of being dependent. They come of interest and the intention to learn more about the same topic, in which you have an interest in. They come to socialise.
If all they meet is a âdo it yourselvesâ attitude, all they will learn is that people in here arenât really interested in being social about their interest and will, to all intents and purposes, probably move to Google.
Congrats. You won that battle but you kind of lost the war.
Iâm going to end this conversation here cause I can feel you are lost in the notation, that if people comes to you for advice, but you feel that that advice is to easy to find elsewhere, those people are just immature and incapable of acting like self responsible, independent adults, and therefore should not get your advice, as that will just make them lazy.
If this is the way people think today, all I can do is pray for humanity.
When you donât take yourself too seriously.
It sounds like someone needs to learn how to distinguish between personal responsibility and social responsibility. No one is required to answer your questions for you just as no one is required to wipe your bum once youâre done on the toilet. Sure, humans are a social species, but not everything we do has to be a social experience. How we depend on one another is contextual, and you donât get to use âweâre socialâ to demand anyone else conform to your personal expectations of social participation.
I love how an honest question about the history of EVE online has devolved into this crapfest,
