GOTG October ....

So, after a nice break Garden of the Gods is rebuilding.  We have some great players that are really exciting to have on board. 

We had joined Territorial Claim Unit down in Omist.  I hadn't been to that area of space yet so what the heck right ? Nothing ventured nothing gained.

HOLY MACKEREL ANDY that place is way the heck down there!  And people thought Period Basis was the end of space?  Ok well it is but it's not as far from empire / low sec as Omist is.  Ok so you gotta plan and have supplies. 

The fights are good.  Rats were different from what I'm used too.

There are lots of good / fun people fighting over there.  Good times.

Garden of the Gods merged with another pvp corp which was a welcomed merger.  We had some others from yet another corp all us home, but have decided to do their own corp - Good Luck Guys!

In looking at the direction of TCU and the direction of Garden of the Gods the decision was made to break away from TCU.    We will be going back to the corp focus of pvp with our focus in black ops.  A new black ops alliance is in the works.  Some good fights are also bound to happen. 

Also this week was old home week.  Lots of old member stopping by to say hi and see how we are doing. 

So on to a new adventure .... should be fun!

Yep I'm a chick .... get over it already

Exactly what the titles says.  Yep I'm a real life woman that plays eve - get over it already.

I have heard so many guys complain about bimbos that play eve/online games and how tired they are of them.  Yep those kinds of chicks who are like "tee hee um oh boy toy how do I oh no you just do it for me (shows cleavage) oh that's how you do it hehehe oh i can't do that do it for me " .. ok BARF

REAL gamer chicks aren't like that dudes.  The cool ones don't find that game fun or interesting.  We don't care for the girl drama ... you know "omg why are you talking to HER" bullshit that happens with insecure and immature girls.  REAL gamer chicks tend to hang out with the guys and say things like they are.  They don't don't do the bullshit games that other girls do.

REAL gamer chicks are tired of hearing OMG YOUR A GIRL.  YES you basement / attic dwelling mouth breathing troll.  We don't want to see your epeen or hear about it, we don't care.  You don't impress us with your high wallet balances or ability to troll. 

What does impress us?  What makes us WANT to talk to you? Talking to us like we are another gamer.  Like we have a brain in our head and skills to use. 

So here is my challenge to all you geek boys out there - next time you meet a chick in Eve try something other then OMG your a girl or make me a sammich bitch and you may get a different response and a cool new friend.

+ vs -

So originally I started this blog to highlight an adventure in eve or more like an incursion with a few of what I call spineless idiots but I think the proper term is trollers or griefers.  But after careful thought and consideration I realized these are not people worth my time or effort to even care about their mere existence on this planet.

Eve Online is a vast universe and has a lot to explore.  There are some GREAT people that play this game.  I've been fortunate to have met some.  There are also some people who well frankly are such loosers or even douche bags.

Eve has no checks and balances for "bad" behavior.  It's an interesting social experiment really.  Since there are no preoccupations for behaviors some players think that this means they can "role play" some type of pirate type of person or well crook and just behave truly bad. They don't behave like this in real life because if they stole well there would be consequences for that.  People have the freedom to be who they truly are at their core - at their heart and soul.  I'm sure that is a freeing feeling to have an avenue to really be who they are.

I will say it is hard to be you out there every day, even if that means doing the right thing or standing up for what you believe in.  You will always encounter people who will attempt to be obstacles in your plan for success.  Some will call them haters.  Haters are merely cowardly versions of admirers.  People can become jealous of what they THINK you have or have accomplished and rather than achieve that for themselves it's easier to follow a negative path and be destructive.

Those good people, who even translate that into the type of player they are in eve, those are the real gems of humanity.  There are people who believe in honor and doing the right thing.  Those who understand that giving a helping hand isn't a bad thing but what you should do.  These are people that in real life do public service like volunteering, military, police, fire, medical, etc.  With out people like that societies would not function - even on line gaming ones.

So, my blog is really going to be about my adventures but not about the negative ones of the cowardly admirers but of those gems that are good and all the fun we will have or have had.  It's so easy to focus on the negative and dwell on it.  It's much more rewarding to focus on the positive, even if it's a harder road to travel.

Thanks for reading!
