The other day Poetic had a chart on her blog that showed her PvP history, so I wanted one of my own.
I started playing Eve in October 2008, so I am closing in on five full years of playing Eve. And while combat has always been my vocation in New Eden, it hasn't always been a priority. Back in the early days priorities also included making iskies from chain ratting Providence, delivering supplies from Empire to Null, and trying to learn how to fly in super huge impersonal fleets.
I won't recount my entire history, as it is all laid out here on the blog in super painful detail, but it follows this basic outline:
• Null. Mostly in and around Providence, multiple wars with multiple Alliances.
• Moving. All over the map.
• Lucifer's Hammer. My first Pirate Corporation.
• Almost quitting. Losing my business in RL, etc. Bad year 2012.
• Tuskers.
• Stay Frosty.
For me it has never been about numbers, I certainly cannot play enough to make even a marginal go at the numbers game - I'll leave that to the College kids. The best I can do is try to be as consistent as possible over the long haul.
I found a post from June 2010 that stated I was ranked #42,372 on BattleClinic at the time. Today I am ranked #1,757. Back then I had 526 kills to 172 losses. Today that number is 2,419 to 500.
Ehh whatever. Killboard numbers, as always, are interesting and reflective of certain realities, but beyond that - not much. I play for other reasons, but it is a journal after all. And this is history.
Regarding my killboard the goal remains the same as always - to reach as high as possible. And have as much fun doing it as I can.
And make things go boom. And irritate people. Mostly by continuing to talk about this stuff. That seems to irritate a lot of people. lol.
