The Five Year Spree (in Off-topic)

A very interesting series of articles by Jim Rossignol of RPS fame. I highly recommend reading them:

Wow....

If only CB could get as immersive...

I've "only" been playing EVE for about 3 years, but I'm much more of a quieter in-game personality, not going through so much hassles as I try to stay out of 0.0 politics :p
But yeah, I can attest that pretty much everything he says there actually happens, and quite often too :D

CB is engaging, but... maybe we should have more ways that people could interact with the community, rather than playing solo.

Gang warfare would be nice

Then we should think about how to increase clan warfare :)

Perhaps an idea to do some research:

Find some games similar to ours (in terms of spending loads of points to fight or something like it.
Do these games have clans/guilds, and if so, what is the maximum amount of members?
What are the perks of being in a clan/guild to actually be in it?
...
...

Shared clan armories/item stashes. That's one clan advantage some games that resemble CB have.
