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,

Fly with Stay Frosty

The single thing I am most proud of in my 13+ years of playing Eve Online is my Corporation Stay Frosty and the pilots that have, are, and continue to fly with us. Stay Frosty has been yarrring in Low Sec (and points beyond) for 8.5 years now and hundreds of pilots have called it home over those years. My goal from the beginning was clear - to build the greatest old-school Pirate Corporation in all of New Eden. And while that designation is highly subjective and possibly salt inducing for some, it would be challenging for anyone to argue that we haven't achieved that goal. So this is an open invitation to anyone who is looking to challenge themselves as a player, to live the rough and rowdy life of a true criminal (in the eyes of the Empires at least) and join the greatest collection of scum-sucking Pirates in all of New Eden. Do it. What are you waiting for? I'm personally firing up my weekly Saturday fleets again now that the AT is over and we also have regular Wednesday fl

The New Normal

Anytime I start to write or express an opinion about Low Sec PvP mechanics I shudder knowing that I'm going to get into trouble from one side or another. The thing about this issue is how complicated it can be, how many different perspectives there truly are, and how biased players can get about their own experiences with it. Which is understandable. We all do it. The trick is to understand your own biases and embrace them, so that you can better see and appreciate the perspectives of others. Having said that let's set some background here. My bias is simple - I run a Corporation of Pirates. I've been doing this for over ten years now, from before Stay Frosty. I've been a -10 Pirate for a very long time primarily in Low Sec space. Last month alone I flew 29 different ships into combat. Which is pretty typical for me. Yesterday, when the above image was taken, I undocked in four different ships. This is also pretty typical for me. I only do one thing in Eve - I hunt.

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

13 Years of Eveoganda

13 years ago today I sat down and wrote the very first post in these pages. I had already played Eve for about a year and a half before I decided to start writing about it and sharing my adventures. I wanted a place where I could share the artwork that I was doing. Back then I was in Providence as part of the extended CVA family of Alliances and was creating propaganda pieces for their forums. I was also doing work for EON Magazine a lot back in those early days. Eve + Propaganda = Eveoganda. If you weren't around back then it can be hard to imagine now, but blogs used to be everywhere. There were so many Eve blogs up and running that Crazykinux organized them into the Eve Blog Pack community. Something I ran for awhile after he retired from blogging. Thirteen years later there are very few of us remaining. The Ancient Gaming Noob by Wilhelm Arcturus has been running longer, but it isn't an exclusive Eve Online blog. (Still highly recommended though) And a few others will p
