21: Surviving a Failure Cascade
While a detailed theory of how alliances disintegrate may provide some academic amusement, it doesn’t offer any practical guidance, except for the rare few who find themselves in a position of leadership. Yet all alliances die; if a pilot is…

20: INSIDE THE FAILURE CASCADE
Nothing in online gaming quite matches the incandescent drama of a dying alliance. It is only in EVE that player organizations routinely exceed 1000 members. If you think World of Warcraft guilds are a hotbed of infighting and ridiculous squabbles…

19: Hacking New Eden
Beyond the bleeding edge of the metagame, in the whispered realms of myth, supposition and paranoia, exist the wizards of EVE: the hackers. Not a day passes in New Eden without some foul event being credited to their misdeeds. Depending…

18: The Jihad
We find ourselves in the aftermath of the Second Great War, the carnage and the confusion of the routing of Band of Brothers and their vassals from Delve and Querious. The balance of power has been overturned after three years…

17: The Archive of Tears
Espionage in EVE is typically done to provide strategic intelligence to the alliance leadership or for raw profit. But that’s not entertaining enough for the GIA. Not only do our agents serve an intelligence function, they keep an ear to…

Meanwhile, In Period Basis: April 15th – April 25th Something had to be done to staunch the coalition’s bleeding in Querious. Pilot participation was in the gutter, and increasingly it seemed that the average pilot viewed Querious as an irrelevant…

15: The History of the Second Great War (1/2)

14: People of RISE
When writing about war in EVE – the extremely serious business of pixelated spaceships blowing each other up in hopes of controlling an imaginary galaxy – I often find myself adopting a tone of glib nonchalance. After all, the whole…
