If I may add a wrinkle, I’m often intrigued by how our real life physical circumstances get wrapped up in this riddle. Using myself as example, I carry an emergency pager 24/7/365 (366 on leap years) which has a terribly troubling habit of going off at incredibly inopportune times. Accordingly, my Eve choices tend to keep this possibility in mind. I never choose a lynchpin position that requires my availability at a certain time for an extended duration since I can’t guarantee I’ll be available at that time for that duration (no FCing for me). Knowing that there’s all too robust a possibility I’ll have to step away from the screen without warning, possibly for several hours, also illuminates why I tend towards NPC controlled Hi-Sec space where, unless you’re looking for trouble, you’re generally able to simply turn around and walk away harm free. (If you really want to be thorough, you may click dock on a convenient station and then walk away not even waiting to see if the dock actually occurs.) The net result is a leisurely scofflaw Eve character who, curiously, is the exact opposite of my real life self. It makes Eve feel like extended vacation and I do enjoy vacations.DireNecessitynoreply@blogger.com
