The Meta Show S6 Ep30 - Fireside Edition - What's happening in EVE

**SPEAKER_1** (0:04)
When it comes to Eve Online, every player wants to know the most effective tactic available. You want to know the meta. The meta controls everything. It determines what will and will not happen. Knowing the meta will alter your views, make you question your reality.
It might even make you laugh. And now, you're part of it. You're watching The Meta Show.

Good afternoon, everybody. Thanks for joining us on this week's episode of The Meta Show. And you know, everybody, I'm gonna be a little honest with you, me and Dave came on today, and we're like, what is going on in Eve Online right now? What is, it's pretty quiet, Dave, right? Coming out of like winter and that kind of thing, it's pretty quiet, right?

**Dave** (1:11)
It is, it is. And real quick, cause I've just noticed as we have started, Kane, why is my face squished?

**Keith** (1:20)
It wouldn't be a meta show without some kind of camera bug there.

**Dave** (1:25)
It's not really squished, isn't it?

**Keith** (1:27)
It's squished on The Meta Show today.

**Dave** (1:31)
Anyway, so yeah, no, it's been very slow news, other than the news about Lorne, which I believe we're probably going to cover next week or the week after, just once they've got themselves situated, because coming on a talk show in the middle of moving out or somewhere in a grace period is not a good idea. Yeah, because you know, it may get you in trouble.

**Keith** (1:57)
A hundred percent. Yeah, Dave versus his his fidgeting. The Kane always is good guy, gets squared away here before the show. So I appreciate the work he does behind the scenes to make sure we get a good broadcast on, because personally, I can't be bothered. And I know, I don't think Dave wants to do it either. It makes our lives a lot easier.

**Dave** (2:16)
It's a lot of work to try and pay attention to what's being said was, like last week on CCP's Twitch, I was paying attention to so many different things because people are messaging me and stuff. I could barely pay attention to conversation. If I had been running that stream as well, it would have just been a, I don't know how Brisk managed it. I really don't. I don't have the attention span for that.

**Keith** (2:38)
Definitely a legend, a goat of The Meta Show, greatest of all time, I'd argue to say there. And we definitely miss having him. But we can get into a little bit of some of the stuff that's been going on. If you don't know, and I will always have a shameless plug for tournaments and anything of that nature. Dave, I love tournaments, I love the AT and the different ones going on. There is a tournament right now going on. Fountain Frank when? Yeah, it's a good question, Kane. It's a good question. We'll have to ping Brisk and be like, hey man, come on, do a throwback show. But no, so the Anger Games is going to be spinning up. I know there's sign ups for teams and stuff are going on right now. I know at some point they'll get into practices and that kind of thing. I believe they're shooting for an April timeframe. I don't have the exact dates right in front of me. You'd have to reach out to those guys. I know there's a post on reddit for the Anger Games. I think at some point maybe we'll see how things go. We might have the organizers of that come on the show and talk in some more detail about Anger Games. That's been a tournament for those of you who don't know that's been going on for a long time. It's kind of where I got started. It's a 7v7 format and they have different rules of a year. Typically, these smaller tournaments, I don't want to say it's smaller. I actually think it's bigger. I think they're going for a bigger tournament compared to the one that Jin ran last year. They usually lead into helping with placements and that kind of thing into the AT. So if you're a tournament lover like me, check out the AT, reach out to me. You're more than welcome to reach out to me on Discord, anything or in-game if you need any more details. If you're looking to say, hey, how do I get involved with that? I can definitely get you the Discord and get you in contact with some of the captains there.
On the Alliance Tournament thing, another thing that's interesting going on in Eve right now, and I know we've had Sapporo Jones on here and he was committed, Dave, to bringing Tess back. And Tess recently lost a Tatara. Can we drop that Tatara kill mill?
