Many thanks. Can I bother you with one last question:
Around 1:20 into the replay a little cat picture comes up that says "Get Dunked." Is that the Eve equivalent of a tea bagging? Can someone explain the significance of what proceeded the Eve Bagging?
He's talking about kugutsumen.com, an Eve meta-gaming/trolling forum.

Many, if not most, Eve players multibox more than one account at a time (the average number of accounts/person is probably ~2). Especially people who own supercarriers (such as the focus of the article), as those ships can never dock, thus one for all intents and purposes needs another character to fly other ships.
Other common uses for multiple accounts are dedicated support characters (haulers, boosters, healers, etc.) and mining fleets (some people will run dozens at once, crazy I know).
