Plot twist : code is 8253, ... and prints are false flags :o)

This works.

In Eve Online there was this big war, and a big ship was being built in some station. So everyone gathered around the station to protect it, and of course the enemy came after it. A huge battle ensued and in the end the station was destroyed successfully.

Except the ship wasn't in that station, it was being built at another station, the defenders just mislead them by protecting a random empty station. The ship finished its construction later that month.

Shit like this makes me wish I had a headstart on PC gaming. That stuff sounds so fun to take part in

Go run doen the eve online stories. People have gone under cover in enemy groups for years, just to rise in the ranks until they can just plunder the whole org for the equivalent of tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I think there was even a guild in the game the specialized on long con espionage called like "the crimson rose" or some such.

The game itself is basically excel, but the "player generated" environment is an epic story generator.

I mean, EVE hasn't gone anywhere, it still has a large and active playerbase, there's nothing stopping you from joining now.

There could be another eve like mmo, who knows

Huh, which battle is that? It isn't the BR-5RB battle that keeps giving more story tidbits still over all those years, is it?

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was during that war yeah. That system was just what initiated it all.

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, thanks. Cool to still hear more stuff about it.

I believe this technique is called a "honeypot" in cyper security. Im addition, the honeypot would also gather as much info as possible about the visitors i.e. any potential hacker.

Nah, you definitely have to use one or two of the worn ones just so it's impossible to narrow down which ones.
