Wild Banshee Indians

Whenever my brother and I would run around like crazy people, our Mother would say, "You two are like a pack of wild banshee Indians." The Internets say, "A banshee Indian is an Indian mythical female spirit whose wailing or appearance warns a family that one of them will soon die. Before a death occurs, the Indian banshee will go wailing and clapping hands: if the death is of a holy person, a whole chorus of banshees will wail." Ok fine, I believe everything I read on the Internets. I don't think my Mom seriously thought my brother and I were harbingers of death, at least I hope not. I suspect what she was on about was the sounds we were probably making. When you are a kid these sounds are normal, but when you grow up and have children of your own - well then you know exactly what kind of Hell your own parents lived through. What does any of this have to do with Eve? The whole idea of "wild banshee indians", not the actual historical words,

The Pirate Gesture

You wouldn't know it, but Pirates in Eve can be super nice people. I know, I know, you are immediately thinking about that dude that killed you, podded you, and stole all your loot. But there is another side and one that you may not have encountered yourself in your travels around New Eden. And I can only talk about Stay Frosty here, I'm not going to pretend to speak for all Pirates. Before I go on, let me give you an example. Yesterday Phoenix and I engaged a Corax in a plex when a Hookbill slid in on us as the Corax suddenly (and quickly) exploded. The Hookbill was also dispatched and both pilots got sent home via podexpress. Nothing unusual. A few minutes later and the HB pilot convo'd me. Below is most of that exchange: HB Pilot > Hi, why did you kill me? Rixx Javix > because you were in a spaceship HB Pilot > first time back in 4 years, f**k this game Rixx Javix > welcome back HB Pilot > im not back, im deleting Rixx Javix > I'm a pirate, I ki

The Deep Dark

The following is a honest post about depression, anxiety, and mental health. If you are easily triggered by emotional sharing or struggle with these issues then please do yourself a favor and seek help. Within the Eve community there is help available through an organization that I support called Broadcast 4 Reps. They can guide you into finding the help you need. Do not suffer alone. ---------------------------- I suffer from depression. I have my entire life. I've decided to share this today so that others can see that this issue affects everyone from all walks of life. You are not alone. I imagine my depression like the waves on the beach, constantly lapping around the edges, forming a background noise that I can sometimes almost forget is even there. You get used to it and sometimes it gets so far into the background that it can be easy to forget it's always around. But it won't ever let you forget, not truly. Even in moments of pure happiness, or satisfaction, or jo

Pirates in Eve Online

Few topics have generated as many blogposts over the years as the topic of Piracy in these pages. I wrestled with this topic way back in the early days when I was first exposed to the concept and to the history of Low Security space inside of New Eden. And over the years I've had many people ask me to properly define what it means to be a "pirate" in Eve Online. Rixx Javix is a Pirate. Stay Frosty is a Pirate Corporation. I often say things like "Old-School Pirates" in posts. But what does any of that actually mean? What exactly is a Pirate in the context of Eve Online? (And despite what my detractors might like you to believe, I did not name myself Pirate Lord. Charles didn't name himself Space Pope either. People have been calling me versions of the Pirate Lord for a very long time and I just adopted it and owned it.) Here are the four things you must have to be a Pirate in Eve Online: 1) A negative security status (-5 or below is criminal) 2) Combat is

In Extremis?

in ex·tre·mis ˌin ikˈstrāmis,ˌin ikˈstrēmis/ adverb 1. in an extremely difficult situation."they suddenly find themselves in extremis 20 miles out to sea"  ◦ at the point of death.      Given the recent lack of activity here in these vaunted pages, it would only be natural to start assuming that I've decided to stop writing in the blog. Perhaps I am burned out. Toasted. Turning bitter old vet, or else have succumbed to distraction. After all, I do have a lot of irons in the fire these days. The truth is buried somewhere in there, but the fact is that I was simply taking a nice break from writing here in these pages. I have no intention of stopping any time soon. If ever. There is just too much sweat equity in these words and images. Having said that, I did purposefully take a short break. Primarily because my usual morning window for writing has collapsed due to my new job. Put that up against the energy expended in the lead up to Fanfest and then the
