New Eve-Mag Feature: Proverbs of Eve

Its been awhile since I wrote anything that got published, real life has a tendency to demand all the free time of a college student when you least expect it though thankfully I did manage to find some time here and there.

Back in March during my spring break I stat down right before the next expansion hit and thought up of all the little tidbits of information that I thought new players, some of whom I thank for about three months of free game time, would need. These were one or two line, easy to remember, bits of knowledge that covered everything I could think of. Unfortunately even though the article was revised several times RL came calling and it went on the back burner, though looking back, that turned out to be a good thing. One day, ShardowRhino suggested that we take the many bits of info and go with a fortune cookie approach, so that is what we are doing.

Each week a Proverb of Eve (POE) will be published by various members of Eve-Mag. These will be quick bits of info, maybe a paragraph or two in length and a photo illustrating the point. They will be primarily targeted at newer and younger players but occasionally a POE may answer a question for older players. We hope you like this new feature!

    “Only fly what you can afford to lose.”

    “Fit a MWD, noob.” (This one is no longer so caste iron, but still.)

    “EWAR helps the gang, tank only helps you.” (Given how easy it is to train basic EWAR skills, you’d think this one was more generally known.)

    “Its a trap.” (Come on, you know its true.)

    “Flying drunk/high will get you killed, it will also get you fun. Your choice.” (How many stories have you heard that begin, ‘It was late, I was drunk/stoned….’ and end with massive laughs?)

    “If in doubt, assume that they are out to get you. Its not paranoia, its Eve.”
