I'm not insane.
I'm not an Addict.
However a confluence of circumstances have resulted in me spending the equivalent of $30,000 on a single space ship in the video game 'Eve Online'. I didn't spend real money, but game money I'd acquired in years past. However the developers of the game will convert this into real world money as a donation to charity.
The ship isn't the most powerful, it's not going to make me unbeatable, in fact it's probably going to sit around unused until I can figure out how to move it somewhere safe. It is a rare spacecraft with only 2 remaining in the game, and it was put up for auction with the proceeds going to PLEX 4 Good.
