Walk through a barren landscape. What happened here? Crumbling remains of brickwork, concrete, metals rusting before their time. Red sky at night, the Underworld's delight.
I told you so. Winking light overhead. A star? A satellite? Survivour mourning silently in the sky for it's children; too deafened by themselves to listen

A while ago, when I mentioned that I'd started playing Eve, wyldcard pointed out your journal to me. I had a look the and it sounded like you were trying Eve again after some time away.

Now that you're friends-locked I'll ask here: are you still playing, and would you be interested in sharing some ideas and experiences about the game?

Hello there! Truth be told, I'm not playing EVE at the moment and haven't really for over a year now. I'd be happy to chat about EVE-related things but with the speed that the evironment has changed withint he last year or two, any kind of advice I might have will almost certainly be obsolete.

I'm trying to frame the things I'm interested in usefully. It's partly history and culture of Eve (what's the background to some of the older corps and alliances, so I can start working out where I'm likely to be an okay fit), partly admin stuff like whether some ways of grouping characters into accounts work better than others, and partly curiosity about something I think you mentioned in passing about some players' reaction on finding that you're a woman

Email is good, and a meetup would be interesting if you have any free time on sunday.

I should warn you pre-emptively that the EVE community is pretty cutthroat and harsh. A lot of other MMOs are positively 'carebear' in the way they mollycoddle you and punish people for acting like dicks but in EVE as long as you aren't exploiting, hacking or otherwise interfering in actual game mechanics - it's all fair game. If you don't have a tough skin, people smacktalking you in the local chat channel bothers you and can't face the prospect of getting randomly blown up by a suicide kamikaze squad who want to steal your stuff the moment you look away from the screen, EVE won't be for you ;-)

so you are off?

Hello Zen

I log on to live journal for the first time in ages and find you are off? For whom can one now rely upon for reliable sushi restaurant reviews? Albeit I am perfecting my own sushi preparation, have you had the delight of what is commonly called the jewel box of sushi?

If you have gone for good, be well.

I read a comment of yours on, what I'd assume is, a mutual friend's Blog Entry. Quite like your line of thought and reckon I'll enjoy your Journal. Of course I can't be sure what you write about, but something tells me we'll share a few interests and passions.

"Untouched footprints of timeless creation - as if the moon and Earth exchanged lives. Follow the footprints. Where are we going? Back to see the past forever frozen in stone.
Pinpointed. There. That place. That moment. That decision."

This is rather amazing! If you're behind those words, then I hope we can "befriend".
