What I learned in Eve is...
(1) Drunk FCing can be a wonderful thing in the moment, and a horrible consequence the next morning before work.
(2) The Hawk ALWAYS has a MSE/MASB. Always.
(3) Accents make for hilarious fleet command outcomes.
(4) Never eat greasy food during a tense situation...trust me.

How about you guys?

1. All scandinavians sound terrifying.
2. You will never live anything down.
3. Sometimes, you just have to shrug and move on.
4. The 'hindsight' mod allows you to win every battle.  Unfortunately, you can only fit it after losing.
5. There will be idiots.
6. Always have a backup plan, and a backup backup plan.
7. Trust no one.

[Lyn Farel]

1. People are no more mature than on other MMOs. Just a different kind of stupid, with added IQ.
2. Bittervetness.
3. Babbling english.

1. How to really swear

[Shiori]

1. If not you, then who? No one, that's who.
2. Apparently I have a sexy, sexy voice, and sound confident even when close to peeing myself in terror. Really should try to FC more.
3. You can't win. You can't break even. But you can quit the game.. briefly.

7. Trust no one.

This.

It has had an interesting impact on my RL dealings with other people.

3. You can't win. You can't break even. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Sadly, the one that jammed this one home for me actually involved an RL friend.  I very nearly cut ties over it.

• The market is at the same time the most far reaching and unnoticed way to affect other's game play.
• Despite the corp interface, small business skills and fair-employment schemes are possible and can thive if fed with time and patience.
• Sufferance is the true currency of EVE.  Compromise and the ability to talk over past problems will only increase the amount of that currency people are willing to spend on you, in turn giving you access to manpower and ideas you otherwise might have missed out on.  (The NISYN tech 3 boom was the result of a half dozen people's competing desires coming down to the realisation that we all had different ambitions, but they all needed isk, which could be generated from a common source.  We have drifted apart, as our differences outweigh our similarities now NISYN has closed - but we remain good friends despite our lack of frequent contact)
• Trust is not a weakness, nor is it absent.  It is in fact vital, and therefore should be given with the utmost care.  I trusted my colleagues in NISYN to value their continued gains from our industrial effort over the 5 minute window during job install that they may have had in our early, lax security days, to run off with a couple of billion isk.  Trust is your valuation of the person, the amount of time, isk, aurum or assets you think they would consider worth burning a bridge over.  Value correctly, frequently re-evaluate and reap the social rewards of continued trust.  Cynicism need not be the defining factor of how you value the people you work/fly with.  A respect for your relative limits with regards to gratification over socialisation is, IMO, healthy and shows deference to the limits of your friends - you are respecting them by not giving them so much responsibility for your fun that they must compromise gains they may make for their own enjoyment.

Though this one could be self-jynxing - for all the stories of 'personal' backstabbing I have heard, so far, it has never happened, which has lead me to question what exactly inspires it beside a sense of solely "lol EVE".  As has already pointed out, trust is a commodity.  It is not a nonexistent unicorn constructed by carebears.

If it does happen - oh well, it's EVE.  You knew it would eventually.  Cuddle your internet feeling and get over it, usually by fucking off and playing something else for a bit.  The skill queue goes on without you.

Never share personal, RL data of any personal depth.  Though too late for me and I do not regret it, it should not be done.  Because lol EVE people do exist and will use it to manipulate your kindness or humanity in sn attempt to to validate themselves or raise their importance to themselves and your shared peers.  Cause "we all love eachother"or not in public, someone is sitting there right now thinking I am so much fucking cooler than you, and telling people all about it - behind your back, right now.

The best balance for a roleplayer is having a non-RP corp.  It is refreshing to hear as a response to the insanity of your week "Well, I don't really get it, but ok...  Wanna fleet up?"
