Internet Spaceship Jihad Online - Join f13 posters in Eve

[palmer_eldritch]

I forgot all about buddy invites. You get 21 days free play (and if you eventually buy a subscription, the person who gave you the invite gets some free time added to their account too).

So anyone who wants a buddy invite should PM an active player, like me.

With LoveU/Goonswarm, can you bring one toon in and leave others in other carebear corps or is it all or nothing?

Everyone uses alts for empire stuff.

Edit: People with Gmail accounts can use plus operators, e.g. 'evetrial+firstname.lastname@gmail.com', to get a 21-day trial without making a new e-mail account if you've used your existing e-mail to get a trial in the past. See, look at how helpful I can already be.

Anyone able to send this evetrial+ to the email in my profile? I'll update this post once I receive a referral

edit: done, thanks Palmer.

[Rendakor]

Got started playing earlier this evening, still going through the numerous combat tutorials. Should I bother with the Industry, Business, and Exploration ones before heading out to 0.0?

I'm also following the training guide on the wiki; should I stick to that?

Your e-mail is hidden in your profile. Send me a PM.

[Segoris]

Doh, thought it was only from public viewers, not members. My bad. PM sent and editing first post.

OK, I'm down for being part of the many, the barely competent, the tacklers.

I'm very tempted to bring my Gallente Inty/'dictor/BC pilot over - is there much action for Aussies or is it outside our TZ?

PM me your e-mail if you need a buddy pass code, I can set you up.

This is the pivotal time. If you manage to get that one, sweet tackle that causes the death of a ship 100X the value of your Rifter, it could be curtains. I went from that, to now being the owner of 3 accounts.

Being an Aussie as well, I am hoping there is some action, since I have already signed up.

[trias_e]

So I've logged on for the first time in almost a year.  I have 100 mil ISK, 2.5 mil skill points, and an omen.  Tell me where to go, and what channel to join.  I've forgotten everything.  (I'm good at obliterating brain cells)

(this was a drunk post.  I now have figured out how to join the f13 channel and apply in game through the mystical art of reading comprehension)

This episode of the (vast) history of the Great South War should always have been a blog post.  I've moved it here - http://www.endie.net/wordpress/?p=23 - and updated it.

[Slayerik]

To the new guys that have been accepted, I am making a carrier jump tonight from empire to Delve. Feel free to PM me ship requests and I'll hook ya up. I can fit some cruisers and frigs, hell I'll even buy em and fit em for ya. Yeah, I'm a pretty sweet dude.

[sanctuary]

More aussies is very good. LOVEU gets quiet around 4-6pm (AEST), myself and maybe a couple of others online. But delve is still busy (goonfleet has an anzac squad) so stuff is always happening.

When I started way back, I mined till my eyes bled to earn the 150M isk to buy a megathron. I was using a cruiser with 5 mining lasers, when the cargo hold was full (after about 5 mins) I would warp back to the station, empty hold, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat ad nauseum. No one should ever experience that sort of grind (except Koreans because they're hardcore).

So anyone starting out I want to give you money, as does Slayer. We want you to experience the fun stuff and we want you to do that as soon as possible. Please to be not worrying about your ships and mods and your isk.

...Bob launched an attack on a system in Providence.  They supposed that Paxton Federation, a minor power in the roleplaying bloc headed by Curatores Veritas Alliance, and occupying some of the worst space in the game, would be a pushover.  In fact, it proved to be a short but bloody conflict which saw the Providence powers mount several initially successful defences before being forced to give ground.

You see, Providence and CVA are kind of like the Fins in 1941...

[croaker69]

I'm willing to give it a third try if you still need more cannon fodder.  Playing solo while running missions in Empire did indeed suck.

Somewhat hilariously, IT has timed their one and only station to come out in Aussie Prime time this weekend.

Also CCP continued a fine tradition and a bug allowed IT to shoot that supposed-to-be-invulnerable STOP's until a GM arrived and put a stop to it.

1940, but basically yes. Strong fortifications and a well-chosen battlefield coupled with the motivation of defending their own ground and superior leadership.

[Thump]

  Figuring that if my kitchen renovations have waited this long, why not another six months, I signed up for the 14 day trial, and I've spent the last few days wandering around.  My main achievement thus far has been buying a frigate and laz0rz and flying happily into battle, only to realize that "requires frequency crystals" means "REQUIRES frequency crystals".  However, I did escape, so when I said "main achievement", I wasn't even being sarcastic, I quite enjoyed the whole experience.   

  At any rate, figuring out fitting by trial and error is amusing and all, but I wanna see some war (even if only from my pod) and I'm totally brainwashed into goons = good guys (Endie = Sun Myung Moon afaict).  Soooo, given that I have insufficient postage (ho!) for LOVEU, are there other corps that will get me into the fight on the right side?  I'm reasonably laidback, so I'll do the newb hazing as needed, but ... well, GS does have something of a rep for scamming, and while I'm wanna be a part of GS, I'd rather my part not be strictly financial... 

  Also, I'll be upping my trial account to a paid sub shortly, if someone wants the free month (or however that works), let me know, ingame name is Thumping.

Yep, as an Aussie, so far there has been enough happening in my timezone to make the choice to try LOVEU a good choice.  There are always a few LOVEU members on (to answer my nub questions) and GF is always happening.

  Man, you goons are locked up tighter than a drum!  I'm gonna report to my BoB overlords that spies aren't allowed in the goons and go back to playing WoW...

No, I meant what I said. You'll really not get in now or in the future. The point is to play with f13 posters who share that culture. Not people who are prepared to put in the hard work of posting a lot for several months so they can join the (currently) winning side.

[Endie]

Nor spies.

It would be nice to join in with you guys tonight.  I am very good at dying a lot in EvE.

Will my application get processed in time ?

[Murgos]

Would this be a good place to insert a facepalm?

Yes, but only because you can't slap people through the internet yet

  That's cool, I understand.  My post may have come across as disingenuously sycophantic but my question was (intended to be) genuine: given that I can't join LOVEU, suggestions on other corps to join?

Well if you are a real newbie, Eve University is still around i believe. You can get some good training in there.

If you're serious about joining a forum just to join an Eve corp, Goonswarm's primary recruiting thread is here. They also require you to be active on their boards for a few months, but at least there's many people who do that specifically to join the 'winning side' (note, I can't see the Goons holding together for longer than a few more weeks before dissolving into anarchy for grins)

My understanding's that the godless russkies are a formidable force, maybe that'll give the goons something to stay focused on for the near future.  But yeah, once the game's run out of big windmills to go after, something awful's going to happen.

IT Alliance are our current targets.  That's big enough to chew on for now.

We've had two probing, diversionary attacks on our southern flank in the last month, but if AAA get motivated we can expect some sort of more serious conflict in Querious in the east at some point.  Failing that we would be delighted to go north and help the NC against Tri, ROL and their bloc if requested, and if the Fountain situation is stabilised one way or the other.

At the moment we've got four big fleet ops advertised for Fountain and I've just finished running a "fun" op (it wasn't much fun for us but the various huge gangs we kept bumping into enjoyed it), which was one of five going on at that very moment according to the fleet finder.  There's a lot to do with hostiles on our northern and eastern borders.

...disappointed I missed it.  I guess the answer to my previous question was no then.
