10: Bastard’s Bluff
If you want to change the course of a galactic war overnight, what you need is not pilots, ships or isk, but a combination of sadistic opportunism, luck, and outright bastardry. Meet Intrepid Crossing (IRC) and their closest friends, Ethereal…

9: Sci-fi Sharecroppers
It was the sort of offer that RISE, an alliance based in Cloud Ring, couldn’t refuse – not because of a mafia-esque strong-arming, but the more subtle coercion of greed. Leave their home in a resource-poor, cramped and irrelevant region…

3: Bad Crazy in Internet Space
There is a jagged fissure of insanity which runs through the heart of the EVE playerbase, a kind of feverish bad crazy which you simply don’t find in other online games. Oh, sure, everyone knows a tale or two about…

2: Who Really Won Delve?
Almost every piece of strategic advice one encounters on the internet is completely worthless. Every day, I inevitably see some EVE forum denizen bleating about Sun Tzu, a famous WWII general, or the latest overwrought management screed (14 Steps To…

1: How Not To Kill A Titan
In the immediate aftermath of our disbanding the Band of Brothers (BoB) alliance and the subsequent hellpurge of their former territory, two things occurred. First: my alliance (Goonswarm), my dear friend Haargoth Agamar (also of Goonswarm, nee BoB), and I…
