For quite a long time I was lost on a planet inhabited by dwarves, night elves, gnomes and all kinds of other odd creatures. It was a nightmare, and one which I'm yet to recover. For a year and a half I was there, trapped, unable to continue training the high-tech skills that my 2 and a half year old clone desperately needed.
Finally, when I escaped and managed to return to high-tech civilisation, I realised that my 2 and a half year old clone only had the skill points of a 1 year old. I thought to myself, what the heck! I'll make a go of it anyway.
However, over the past few months, I've come to realise that this has handicapped me in ways that I thought might happen, and which have turned out to be true.
The age of my clone, coupled with my career path, makes small children cry, grown adults run screaming inside their houses, and anti-pirates forming entire fleets to hunt me down.
The problem with this has been that I haven't been able to compete with the competition at my level of skills, and the competition has expected me to be much harder than I actually am.
You should never bring a knife to a gun fight, and I'm often left feeling that all I have is a knife, while my enemies have heavy machine guns.
So I've decided to go undercover and start afresh. A new clone has been activated. Unlike me, this clone will be purely dedicated to combat, and will be working on all the skills needed to focus on being the best that they can be in ship-to-ship combat. The mistakes that Black Claw has made during his life will help my new clone avoid them.
It wasn't an easy decision to make. It's like starting a new life, with all the trials and tribulations that will bring.
It was a bit of a shock sitting in the starter corp's chat channel, watching over a thousand people trying to get a word in.
I'll have to start my own corp, so I can silence their incredible noise.
You won't keep Black Claw silent though. He will continue writing articles, as that is what he enjoys. My new clone will also start their own blog shortly as well, continuing with an entirely new theme.
A toast, if you will - to the future, and all its twists and turns.
