Gevlon has a history of other group projects running successfully over quite some time, despite, or even due to his anti-social nature. So you can't claim that causation "because it's obvious". I.e. being anti-social doesn't prevent getting a group to together for a common goal.<br /><br />If I needed to come up with reasons for failure, I would point to his unwillingness to lead himself (his successful group efforts he was effectively leading, even if others could replace him). And the fact that it gets to get excited into his ideas when he amasses projects that he dropped after a month or two.<br /><br />But I think the real cause is rather that the EVE population is too small for his excentric ideas. In WoW he had 20 times as much people to recruit from... with 20 times as much people, his gank project easily would have reach critical mass to still strive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-21746585013810371262014-01-09T12:58:58.487+01:002014-01-09T12:58:58.487+01:00To drop corp immediatly : right click on your pilo...To drop corp immediatly : right click on your pilot name in any chat window and quit corp.<br /><br />You are immedieatly booted to an npc corp and can rejoin new corp immediately.<br /><br />This applies even if both old an new corp are under wardec.Foohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444693774790165427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-57100904060078782102014-01-09T12:10:58.989+01:002014-01-09T12:10:58.989+01:00"They don't care about ISK, killboard res..."They don't care about ISK, killboard results, system ownership, just feeling good. I wonder why do they play EVE instead of just getting drunk and masturbating."<br /><br />Maybe because EVE does not have any "ladder" or "ranking" or "league" ingame and therefore is one of the few games where you are not forced to be competetive.<br />A 10year old charakter can be below 10M skillpoints, he can be super space rich or very poor. Without external sources I'm not able to judge him right.<br />So if I want to be competetive I choose other games.<br />I'm wondering why a competitive an metric guy like you plays EVE instead of just quitting it and playing a game with rankings?<br /><br />You say you are not a social guy, still you run a blog. What is a blog if not social interaction?<br />Why did you explain market mechanics to other players ("ISK guide for newbies")?<br />Where is your "profit" with that?<br />You didn't do it "just for fun", otherwise you would have just got drunk and masturbated.<br /><br />It is hard to follow your arguments, maybe becuase I do have children. Last weekend my 4 year old daughter wanted to play chess - you would have won for sure, because "winning" is important. I lost the game on purpose, because spending time with my daughter and seeing her laughing is much more important than winning.<br />Helping some friends to shoot Interbus offices during christmas holidays and new years eve is much more important (to me) than updating my sellorders in Jita.<br />Ok, maybe beeing afk while shooting the offices was a reason, too.<br /><br />I like your "new idea", not because it is against "Goons", but because it sounds like fun.<br />First thing that came to my mind: "When TEST left nullsec they promised to fight the renters of their old home with small gangs, making stealth operations deep in nullsec just to annoy the Goons and beeing a pain in the ass."<br />I've never heard anything about that...<br />Your perma-war corporation should be very interesting to other nullsec corporations to find new players willing to fight the Goons (and maybe later move to nullsec to stand against them).<br />Since ice interdiction I still have the CFC on -5 standing and always wondered, why they move free all around highsec.
