EVE Online's official paid economist is Dr. Eyjólfur Guðmundsson (unpronounceable outside of Iceland) but his RED NAME is CCP Dr EyjoG (Most people say "ee jog"). Criswell can neither confirm nor refute Chooch's comment about Dr EyjoG being necessary because the EVE economy worked rather poorly. One last comment on EVE (until the next one).

Well, let me give you a real space taste then. This is "CLEAR SKIES" a player made video with space scenes from EVE and interiors and characters from HALF LIFE 2. Although it is in a foreign language (Australian) and has a lot of EVE jargon, I think most will still get the gist of the story. I don't know if this accepts links, but you can cut/paste to make it work. Enjoy CLEAR SKIES. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbrJSb5X0-A&feature=channel_page So, now, Viv says, “I wanna be in space!” Well, let me give you a real space taste then.

I wonder why, when you get your cape, you go the Hero's Memorial and it is in a cave?! Why would they make a memorial to fallen heroes in a cave? Can't they show some respect, maybe take a little money from the City Representative's salary. City hall is nice. And those statues all over town don't come cheap...

I have a 50 human form peacebringer that was probably my best character to play once I got the hang of how to play him. Occasionally I'll see a suggestion on this forum asking Chooch and Viv for a feature on role playing in general, don't be afraid to write something up and submit it.

Recently, we considered doing a CoH podcast/radio show complete with music, but mostly focusing on RP and Virtue specifically, but we know now "what not to do" - not because its bad, but because you guys do it so well. We used to do radio shows that were very popular for a while on Second Life, and miss that, but the time needed was pretty immense. I have lots of other things to say Re: Khelds (my favorite toon is a 50 WS, and I also have a 50 PB), Character Creation (as an RPer, I always build toons off storylines), Archetype Combos (its hard to do it without talking about FoTM types), Gay Characters (all my characters are lesbian or bisexual, as is myself), and just how fun you guys are in general. Peace all! - if you do take a hiatus, Blaize and I would certainly pitch in and do one time to time :) -Pax (Virtue, Sapphite League/Institute, Paxil Zap/Felicia Paxil Zap.)

(Not that I'm going out of my way to collect more of the darn things.) And yes, the Patrol Bonus should protect you from the debt during the 2XP weekend, which means you can take OUTRAGEOUS risks in pursuit of XP and not suffer even the least bit of setback, other than the time a trip to the hospital will take you. I'd also like to say that I generally support Viv's style of character creation. All my characters have stories and concepts. I will admit that some of them haven't gotten past level 10 because theory works better than practice on certain "wouldn't that be cool" builds. For the most part (About 80%)they work out fine and, most improtantly, I enjoy playing them more because they make internal sense to me. They are not just a collection of powers, as it seems many of the "toons" I run into in PUGs are. So I endorse "Playing with Character!" and whatever you do enjoy the game.
