I began playing Eve Online in 2022 Jul. Within the Uni, I am best known as a teacher, trader and industrialist, and active member of the PC9 nullsec pocket.
Outside of Eve, my other interests include TTRPG design, games (of the computer and board varieties), history, maintaining an optimized collection of liquor designed to give best value for money in a variety of categories, and fanfiction. In real life, I have at various times been a lawyer and a banker, with a particular focus on renewables, energy, and commodities. I am happy to talk with those interested in pursuing careers in these fields.
I am always happy to work with people interested in creating content or otherwise finding ways to give back to the Eve University community.
My favorite color is blue. My cat is the best kitty in the world, yes he is, yes he is.
Service
I serve as a Community Lead for the Main Community. My current areas of focus may be found on the Community Coordinators page.
I teach a substantial number of classes. As of 2023 Jun, I typically teach 3 classes per week. My usual rotation includes:
- Intro to the Null-Sec Community (every other week)
- Intro to Trade (every other week)
- Intro to Industry (weekly)
- Introduction to Eve Careers (weekly)
I routinely attempt to find people interested in teaching, train them, and pass off classes to them, at which time I will fill the slot with another class.
Past classes I have taught include:
I serve in other official Uni roles as I have the time and ability to do so.
Participation
I participated in the Community Content Initiative program, completing the program in 2023 Jun (see details here). In completing the program, my areas of focus included teaching, strategic defense, and PVP roams. After completing the program, I have continued to update my CCI forum thread as an ongoing record of my participation in the Uni.
I periodically will open standing offers in support of industrial activities. Up-to-date details may be found here.
I help coordinate blue structure defense for the PC9 null-sec pocket. Note that this is separate and apart from any official role I hold in the Uni.
