I look over to see who's yelling."That's right, you! We're not paying you to just stand there!"I realize the muscle head has mistaken me for hired help. Opportunity knocks!

Buck is my FC, and I listen closely as we form up. My job is to monitor the Doril to Jorund gate and warn the rest of the gang if someone makes the jump into Jorund.I take Moonlight out to about 200km and let Buck know I'm in position. The whole crew is tense as this is our first time out of Berta and into Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15244844157641839268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308742131050787207.post-85574601212335767592010-01-22T18:34:00.000-08:002010-01-22T18:44:35.078-08:00Space showers, just as good as the real thingThe stargates blur together, Madirmilire, Ashab... My mind wonders as I gradually close on my destination, Berta.The comm link blurts something about existentialists and a paper. Damn, even this far from planet side and I have work to complete. A few mental commands and my Caracal, Moonlight, switches over to autopilot as the viscous fluid drains from my pod and I start to cough it out of my Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15244844157641839268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308742131050787207.post-62928055779173034252010-01-19T17:53:00.000-08:002010-01-19T18:05:46.675-08:00The big moveWell, the day of the big move has come. My ship, Moonlight (a well used Caracal), is packed with everything that I'll need for the long trip to Berta. Berta, it promises to be everything that home isn't. So long family, so long everything I've known. I leave you all behind for an adventure with my new Corp, the Open University of Celestial Hardship.Berta is their empire staging area. It willAlisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15244844157641839268noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308742131050787207.post-73218813895515859782010-01-12T14:21:00.000-08:002010-01-12T14:24:20.396-08:00Need humans!Ok, so for me, MMO games are about being with people. Talking to agents, fighting the "rats" in belts... kind of boring (no offense to those that are into that). Plus being able to talk to a group of people instead of typing all the time is much more social.So I looked for corporations that recruit new players and found OUCH. They say they die a lot which I think is most funny.

The question I always struggle with... do I make a boy character and play without being constantly messaged or do I go all out girl, be myself, and just deal. Girl wins and I decide to go blonde, for some reason I like being mean to my new character and give her bad hair. Jaz'minh will work for a name, and I'm off to explore!It's at this point that I decide to blog Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15244844157641839268noreply@blogger.com0
