Hey Olmeca Gold! I hope you know you're something else. You really are on a different level than the rest of us. This video was incredible, thank you so much for posting it. I am absolutely voting for you for CSM 14 and I'll do my best to convince my viewers to vote for you too!

[@ProjectFreeFolk]

Hey Bjorn. I always appreciated how amazing of a human being you are. Quite honestly your type of person is very rare in Eve. Constantly positive even when shit tier things are happening. Probably the #1 reason people love your streams, and why I supported them. On plenty of occasions I failed to maintain 1/4 of the positivity you have. I'd rather be on that level more than any levels on anything you think I'm at. I hope you keep up your content even when the game is declining. o7

Wow that was 30mins shit me it went so fast!

[@davidcraddock7414]

Hey Olmeca, I dont even play eve, but I randomly came across your video. I was hooked in the first 30 seconds. Great piece of story telling!

[@benom286]

you should probably get into it i got into it a few days ago and yeah its rough but totally worth it

[@davidpflepsen7505]

Absolutely fucking brilliant!!! I'm a 12 year veteran. Very few pilots in EVE get my respect, but your solo activity is most impressive! You have a true spirit of EVE and my maximum respect!

[@lamariaslymosari3876]

Good Vid, but it reminded me why I quit eve. If only it wasn't flooded by alts/multiboxing.

[@naximan01]

git gud

[@Voldorac]

Completely agree with you there! I quit right after they tried to make the game easier for others and forgetting about what lured us into it in the first place, and I started out it 2009 .. so right after they destroyed the PLEX system, i had enough! :/

[@Danci1337]

Same, all the veterans with T3 ships picking on the nooblets with 3 months experience behind them, and they wonder why the numbers are decreasing... I enoyed the PvE aspects, learning the new things, but when some bored of out of their minds ship comes accross that againts you can't do anything, except sit in high sec all day and then MAYBE be safe, yeah. From time to time i get in the mood to try it again, but i remember, how pointless it is, just because you are outnumbered, outgunned, outsmatrted.

I originally commented about balancing audio too; but after watching the whole thing through to the end, I can only salute you and your amazing efforts! o7

[@dipilodorkus]

As cool as this is this highlights why I just can't play eve anymore. The sheer number of alts. It's disheartening

[@numenanomalie309]

alts are the reason i quit # me too . Do we need CSM who gets 65 alts and thinks he is gud at the game?

[@rokhnroll]

yep I used to duel box but 65 alts is insane. I quit eve about 3 years ago now I think.

[@immersivegamer7640]

I must say - I have been watching eve content on KZbin for quite some time and it never ceases to amaze me how deep and complex this game is. Having said that - this documentary has been eye-opening. I am still speechless - the production value, the narration, the mechanics explained and even the politics and how CSM influences the shape of the game we all play - brilliantly done. Will be looking out for more content from you - just hope that the recent changes did not push you out of the game. Great stuff!

[@mestakari6937]

its also kinda funny cause his csm ideas nerffed rorquals etc and he killed this gameplay style and he doesnt play anymore :D

[@SuperGamli]

This is honestly one of the most beautiful EVE video I have ever seen, the pure multiboxing skill is sight to behold.

Coming from a goon .You have my 7 votes. Really good video. I hope you get in! Everything you said was spot on.

[@sci7zo]

Goons are important to the ecosystem of the game. I don't think EVE Online would still exist without y'all. You give the game a real, authentic antagonist and that's important. CCP needs to understand that the people who fight goons are also important to the ecosystem or else shit gets boring for everyone. Community is great but these games are only fun for as long as people want to kill each other. Respect

Well done, much appreciated. Reminds me of Rooks and Kings videos. What attracted me to to Eve in first place...

[@lenkor7606]

Even tho I am an Imperium member and was just enjoying my fun content on holidays with small group (othenly dying but we all have fun) , I have noticed far back in 2017 that this is going out of control , basically I have just moved in Delve and decided to try rorqual as support ship (has 4 barges) , I have prioritized tank over drones , and also have fax standby to help , also usually I keep my carrier charter in the same system , and I have always managed to avoid being caught (or survive until umbrella arrives) , meanwhile in rest of the Delve rorquals alts just flooded in without any giving a shit about protecting themselves , including supers that doesn’t even have ozone to light up cyno , I don’t even speak about fax alts . Maybe this is because of my paranoia that have developed during ratting in region of Cache , or just feeling that game design had failed and need to reworked from the scratch . Mostly there ,as being said , people has lost the feel of fear and paranoa , and that makes it thrive so hard , keep your best effort to wear off this pink glasses of rainbow ponyland, to show what eve is used to be ! Great video by the way , keep it high .

[@christo2690]

delve is super fun again now without the umbrella, I actually docked up all my caps and spend my time between fleets doing fun stuff again. The lack of risk im nullsec really needs to be addressed. always fly dangerous

I genuinely had no idea who you were until about 2 weeks ago (sorry), i feel genuinely happy that a player such as yourself has chosen to represent and communicate all of the issues 'the little guys' face in finding content and ways to disrupt mega-farming. This is by far the most relocatable, impressive and (frankly) frightening CSM call videos I've seen so far in EVE. Ducking good job, keep it up!

Holy crap mom I'm famous! I'm in this video twice! First time, I was on that first BB titan kill (its in my bio :D), and second, I'm the guy who said "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW .... That's fleet gonzo!" -No hard feelings Olmeca, FC fucked up and fleet warped everyone with the rolling ships, making it easy for you. May as well have warped blindly to a gate in the days of RnK

[@ProjectFreeFolk]

Lol! I really liked that reaction back then, still like it today. Such positivity. I think we play Eve for those moments that impress us and excite us. They stick with us. And it makes less of a difference whether we are in the receiving end of things.

[@leehams3079]

@@ProjectFreeFolk funny story, that titan almost got me kicked from my corp/alliance as it was technically blue. I ended up getting kicked for something else (saying in BB public that i knew where some allied super ratters warped to when neuts entered local).

After all this i still don't know what booshing means...

[@USBAMCISMC]

Is he saying push?

[@KingGumboot]

The command destroyers (booshers) have a unique item that micro jumps allies and foes within their range randomly away. So he would warp a fleet of them on top of drones and scoop them when they disconnect from the rorquals due to range, and I guess rorquals have some shield ability to protect the mackkinaw, so he booshes the mackkinaw out of that and bombs em. I'm a noob so this might be wrong too 🤷‍♂️

[@manuelsosa6651]

This video make me feel so nostalgic and a little sad. Most of my old corp mates in PH suggested me to make alts for other task, but i couldnt because of my pc performance, also, i loved to do all task in ones: Pvp, pve, mining also gas, exploration and hacking (Prior), PI, Reactions, marketing and manufacturation... I want to come back...

Thats the issue with EVE, and this video is the worst extreme with it. No one should be required in any sense to have alts. Having alts seems like a farce for supposedly an MMO.

[@angryprincess1035]

Eve is all about picking your battles. You can solo small ganks or single targets.

[@ComputerFoolish]

Congratulations on making it to CSM 14!! Now... remember what your aims are and do not let us down. Those of us who are with you agree to your thoughts... ...for I think this game doesn't need another CSM to represent a nullsec alliance or coalition. It doesn't need 6 people representing the same mega empire. It doesn't need people buying votes to earn a seat. What it needs is CSMs of a mentality that values creativity over n+1. Emergent innovation over the grind. Good fights and explosions over asset acquisition and item craze. And game skills over metagame skills.

[@GrotesqueSoulthorn]

I've never played this game but I watched the whole video and now I want to vote for you.

[@turiel86]

This is an awesome doc and great skill and knowledge of the game was presented BUT... Do we really need people multiboxing 80+ accs in the game? Like, do we need solo corp/empires where all characters are actually the same guy? Maybe an Eve RTS game is something some people want to play but it does pose a clearly unfair advantage over people that play one char only. (and hey, same goes for people multibox mining). Is multibox really the Eve endgame where you're making so much isk you can plex dozens of accounts and play solo? Sry if it sounds like a rant, but it's a legit concern I have.
