What is the Graelyn Number ?
« on: 13 Aug 2013, 13:42 »

There's a phrase, I think Graelyn used it.

Something like:
"You're not a vet until CCP has destroyed everything you worked for N times"

where N is a number >1, iirc.

But I don't know what it was D:

I would guess 4 or 5 maybe, just for Ubiqua and AM alone.

CCP's never destroyed anything i have worked for, i am more than capable of doing that myself!

That being said, once should be enough.  Use your bitter to nuke optimistic people out of their comfort zones then acquire their souls via the meta game.  Job done, profit made.

Has to be a minimum of four times.

At least once per race, or once per major endevor ie PvE, Mining, PvP or market.

What does destroyed mean in this case?  Does making a change to mechanics that impact what options your corp does count?

I've killed a dozen corps and an alliance or two.  Does that count?

You could rate pretty high regarding Caldari RP I believe.

IIRC, the quote was something like,

"You're not a real EVE RPer until CCP has destroyed your roleplay at least once."

It was given as a semi-reassuring pat on the back in the aftermath of A'J being squished by Templar One, I think.

It wasn't just the players who became bittervets over that one. :P

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

It took a single cascade of events to  make me bitter.

Still not bitter yet.

I must be doing it wrong or something...

I'm much more bitter about the players than I am about the game.

That probably says something awful about me :D
