Obligitory Hello Thread

Hello everyone,

wanted to introduce myself on the forums. In game you'll see me as Phil Draco, new UIT pilot. I have come here from such games as earth and beyond, and several years of playing eve. While each game was neat and in space, it doesn't compare to the thrill of pilot skill and near Newtonian physics. While some of the transition as been.... frustrating it has also been a lot of fun. I am very impressed by the community, and how willing they are to help. I've already had a few sessions on how to dodge given by some people out there (sorry, bad with names, but thanks again). Either way, all subscribed and ready to kick some butt.

See you in space.

To whom exactly did you feel "obligited" to post this waste of space and time?
Jun 02, 2008 psortland link
I did it for you, specifically to make you angry! It's good to find the trolls early.

Ooh! I like this guy's style!

Wow. You spotted genka nice and quick. Impressive. I hope to run into you again in-game, Phil.

Sooo, you think that upon joining a forum the best thing to do is post some flamebait?
Clever.

As another former player of E&B, it's always good to see a fellow from the old days. I played Pegasus, a.k.a. "That server with the weird auction raid people". No multiple servers here, which I think is a good design move.

In any event, I'm usually found either running around on trade missions, waging war upon the greyspace hive, or firing insults at pirates while I'm killing (their faction standings). Every victory is Pyhrric.

Sweet. What a nice change from the real wastes of forum space, such as "I tried this game but you need to change this and this before I will subscribe." Too bad he's a fence-sitting UIT, Serco could use someone like him.

Welcome, glad to hear you're enjoying the game :).

The terms "UIT" and "Fence Sitter" need not be synonymous, Professor.

Indeed not, vIsitor; unlike, say, the terms "Itani" and "Pr**k Sitter."

Ya! The Valk DOES kinda look like a Prius! Get a real car hippie Itani Prius Sitter.

Welcome psortland. I think I may recall you from the Eve beta.

Try again, Whistler. Think Centurion ;)

What's a prank sitter?
Jun 03, 2008 Will Roberts link
Could be he meant a Proxy sitters... someone who is delegated to sit in someone else's stead.
With Lector being all lawyery and all, he'd know about things like that.

Nono Lecter, a valk has balls to boot.
Jun 03, 2008 Dr. Lecter link
Good point, yodar. Plus, the Valk is shorter looking, which is about right for the Itani.

Did you add another letter as a clue? A major, raging clue?
Jun 03, 2008 Dr. Lecter link
This thread is so totally not giving me a clue.
