We're all bittervets here, thoroughly hating ourselves, everyone else and Eve. But, if you know a bright eyed and bushy tailed RP newbie, please point them my way. I want to make them space famous. Someone who's been roleplaying for oh, 3 months, no more than 9.
-
Er... roleplaying strictly in Eve ? Or does out of eve rp enter in your count too ?
-
Some one new to RP in Eve. I think if I said RP period, no one would qualify.
-
This is practically sinister :eek:
-
Nonsense, it feels good to adopt a newbie every now and then.

Ok... I guess I qualify then. But I won't apply : the "I want to make them space famous" part scares me ^^
Still, good luck in your newbie hunt :)
-
It's actually going to be a round-table discussion of RP culture for themittani.com, the best news site for anything Eve related. I have tentative yeses from Ava Starfire and Graelyn. I need to talk to Seri and then get the newbie and I should be set to figure out a time where it all would work out.
-
Far less scary -interresting, actually :)
-
Still scary imo.
-
Sounds interesting, I look forward to reading it :)

If you can't find someone else, I'd be willing to help out. Though I'm probably a bit too new, seeing as I'm still working on getting started with EVE RP.

Yeah, sorrie, I'm looking for someone that's gotten into the scene, but not consumed by it completely. I wish you the best of luck! And, if I may quote a well regarded news source (themittani.com, the best site for any news about Eve Online) " Remember what EVE is all about, though: committing violence on someone else’s spaceship."

lies, eve is about typing in channels while spinning your ship.

That's okay! Just figured I'd offer. :)

I commit violence on floating rocks. :D

And I totally appreciate it. As for your rocks . . . I'll allow it. Just go play WoT when Hulkageddon comes around.

Missed self-moderation by a few minutes. Oh well.
Isis, are there any other EVE news sites that can provide what yours do?
Also, for the record: Humor is a very subjective thing. What some might think is very witty humor, others might and can take offense to. Keep this in mind for the future.
-
I don't write for any other Eve news site. Therefore, I feel no obligation to even be close to objective. In all sincerity, our coverage was the industry best for Asakai. We have amazing writers, amazing editors and well, The Mittani (*swoons*) to lead us. We are and will continue to be the best place to get gaming news related to Eve Online. (We even cover other games that Eve players like to play: WOT, LOL, MWO, PS2, etc.)
I have a horrible sense of humor. It's what keeps me from jumping off a bridge. *Shrugs* It's the nature of humor that someone is gong to get offended. I'm sorrie if that happens, but I'm not going to change who I am for someone else.

What exactly is offensive about somebody taking pride in their own social group? Even if you believe their pride to be completely misplaced, as long as they're not being directly derisive toward anyone else, what is there to be offended about? To me it seems like the equivalent of taking offense at somebody's firm conviction that their favorite sports team is "the best".
Finding it silly, even irritating, is perfectly understandable, but offensive? Come on.
Isis hasn't actually been rude to anybody in here, as far as I've seen. Certainly not in this thread. Why can't the same be true in reverse?
-
The two last lines of my last post are not related to each other, they cover two different topics.
I asked Isis first if there were any other sites out there that cover EVE related news and this was "answered" now by Isis by not providing an answer at all. That's fine. If I cared enough I could go and look, see if there was any other site out there I could read for EVE-related news. In the meantime Isis can be as happy as can be with the one site we have been told of, as proud of it as is desired, and as infatuated with Mittens as is desired. Neither that nor the details about that site is what I asked for, but it's what I got. That's fair enough.
The second and entirely unrelated part was a simple objective statement of fact - humor is subjective and differs from person to person, and some might take offense where others find it quite humorous - I reminded Isis to keep this in mind for the future. That was all. I did not ask for anything to be changed in any way, least of all Isis' sense of humor.
This misunderstanding should now be cleared up.

The only other eve news site is EveNews24.com

And that's the last time I'm ever giving Riverini hits. Ever.
Not only should you read each article, but read the comments. I hope this answers your question regarding Eve news sites.
I'd be interested to know your opinion of each after you have read the links.
-
I keep telling myself not to post in any of your threads... but I'll do it this one time, again.
Isn't this a bit off topic? Isn't this thread supposed to be about a newbie, not the merits of mittani.com versus EN24? Methinks it's been derailed.

...and that was my bad, sorry. Regardless, the message is send, right? If a young-ish RP'er sees this they will get the message.
I hope.
BTW Isis, thanks for the links. I was strangely under the impression there was more than just 2 sites for EVE news. Weird.

Soo she wants indoctrinate that newbie to behave ass her :bash:

Eh, not totally. It's not a stretch that a newbie would not know about any of the eve news organizations and a bit of overview as to what TheMittani.com is would be beneficial.

Actually, I believe that anyone should be able to play with any style they wish. That is where some of the conflict comes from. Some people have their set idea of how RP and things should happen . . . and I don't care.
I will happily give advice to anyone, but unless it's just pants on head retarded, like someone saying they are the empress's daughter or some weird poo poo, I'm not going to tell them they are doing it wrong.

If I still actively played I might actually throw Uraniae's name in for the running, if she even qualified.
I may have a bit of a dislike and suspicion of all things moderately related to the Goons, but this does sound like an interesting and worthwhile little endeavor.

Well, you're cute, but sadly not a newbie :(
-
I'm not sure such notoriety would be a positive thing. :/
It's tempting, though.
