I use spreadsheets when I need to keep track of large sets of data, like when I was trading and wanted to keep track of my progress, or blitzing missions in low sec for LP. I use the numbers as a tool to see how well I'm measuring up to my own goals. OTOH, I couldn't care less about killboards.<br /><br />But, one of the major things that got me to join this game 9 years ago was the Lore. I loved the Minmatar story and made up my own lore for my main main that coincides with that. I even made up a storyboard for it when I was in a storyboarding class a few years later. <br /><br />The thing about the Drifters, and the thing that gets me excited in general are narratives. That is the piece of the lore that this game was missing. You can have all the chronicles and all the data and all the stories, but without the narrative they all fade into the black without ever passing their value along. I hope CCP keeps up with the narrative even after the culmination of the Drifter storyline.<br /><br />- Baljos ArnjakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-9883222558468897162015-05-13T12:26:50.958-04:002015-05-13T12:26:50.958-04:00Honestly, the drifters worry me a bit and I don...Honestly, the drifters worry me a bit and I don't know why...

I'm one and a half books into Tony Gonzales's efforts and it's not a bad way to catch up on the Eve back story but good god he's an awful writer. Everybody growls, even during sex. For those of you who haven't read him yet, you have my sincere apologies since now, should you read him, the growls will leap of the page, grab you by the throat and never release.<br /><br />I'm told Danielsson is an even worse author but I'll suffer through just the same. I made this bed, it's time I lie in it.DireNecessitynoreply@blogger.com
