- Eve forums is spitting venom at the idea.
- Shouts of Scam come along.
- Some are liking the idea I'm doing something a little different.
- A lot find it hard to grasp the main purpose of this experiment is to test the people that play the game.
First thing i need to complete is the nothingness of my game. I have taken the only 5k i started the game with and donated it over to a local little fellow who seems to have nothing, and yet seems to not want my ISK either.
I am officially a nobody with nothing..... no ships no ISK, just me and a pod. Time to begin my experiment, could i get folks to help me develop Instant Pain without having to take the conventional routes through the game; Mining, PVPing, Trading etc.
I am in Jita at the moment.... which seems to mean and be accepted that the only thing to do in Jita is post in local chat.... which is nice, so i thought i would give it a go and drumb up some support for my venture. Works a treat and soon im being flooded with 0.1 ISK donations (an expected gift but never the less appreciated)... with my wallet sitting at an immense 4 ISK i decided enough was enough and engaged autopilot out of Jita.
[At this point i was able to wash the car, play with the dog, clean out the guinea pigs, make lunch, eat lunch, tidy the bathroom up and make a coffee] BEFORE i initated warp! Jita really is a magnetic place, it draws alot of folks in and then wont let any of them go!
At the time i am also still working out the finer details of my plans, how am i going to do this experiment in a way where people might give a damn... so then i came accross the dice idea. There use to be a program where a man would wake up each day and "let the dice decide" what he did, where he went etc. So maybe since folks are helping me exist in EVE through there gifts they can guide me in what i do also. Not "pay to instruct" but have some input into where i go or who i meet......
So thats where i am going with this plan now... each week / twice a week, i will make a new vote on the journal allowing readers to prompt me in what to do this or next week; Or nominate people who could be interesting for me to meet..... kinda like an EVE roving reporter! I will blog all of the places / interviews / chats i have with folks.
Anyway im now outside of Jita, and have my autopilot set for Rens, since people think i should train some minny skills its the best place to be heading! Onward.....

testing
Glad you turned anon comments on, was going to reply last night and fell though of the members only. Anyways...
Are you a scam artist? Are you nightmare all over again? (you have some of his writing style). Either way I don't really care.
Personaly I don't think its a scam because I give my money freely knowing the "risks" so you cannot have scammed me, simple. But even if it was then I still applaud you.
The cold and harsh(Well thats what these so called pvp'ers always say eve is like) Universe out there gets pretty damn boring at times and you added a little spice to my day yesterday as I sat in my ship with a damn cold virus (still no cure!). So I sent you some cash, its nothing compared to the daily grind the game throws back at me if I try and with luck it will help you in your travels.
I hope you do a fair amount of Empire space in the next few days/weeks/months. Its far more interesting than 0.0, especialy considering the way your running your life. Charity is never popular in Empires local :)
Good luck to you.
