In The Beginning

Greetings to everyone that managed to find their way here and find the beginning of what is (hopefully) my Eve blogging career.

Most of you probably have never heard of me, which is probably a good thing! So I guess we should start with who I am and what I do (in Eve).

My main character within Eve is Dante Chusuk (Dante or DC to everyone as even I have forgotten how to pronounce the second bit). Dante has been about since 2004 though I have played Eve since the Beta stages and have had a character in Eve since 2003. Does this make me a bitter vet, I certainly hope not, though feel free to slap me if I do.


I have previously done some bits and pieces of writing for Eve Tribune, Mr M keeps trying to tempt me back. My articles focussed around upcoming additions to the game and was influential in two friends writing about salvage "theft" before it was the in thing to do. Our point of view after monkeying around on TQ was that it "works as intended", something I have been known to rage at people complaining about salvage "theives" in their missions.


The blog name comes from the fact I have a preference for roaming PvP over sov warfare, Dante is a Sebiestor and the following piece of folklore/religion caught my eye when I was researching some other stuff:

"It is the Vietnamese belief that the dead must be buried in their homeland, or their soul will wander aimlessly in pain and suffering. Vietnamese feel that if a person is improperly buried, then their soul wanders constantly."

Given most of us pod pilots will die (generally away from our homelands/planets), be cloned back to life and carry on as before effectively "haunting" the spaceways without rest it seemed an appropriate part of the title.

So that's me in Eve in a nutshell (well a rather large one). I'm still tinkering with the set-up of Blogger so any suggestions or comments are welcome. Especially for Eve related gadgets and tweaks that I can add. Next on my "to do" list for the site will be the blogs I have read most over the past couple of years, those that have inspired me to put finger to keyboard (and succeed of fail I'm sure I will learn something).
