I am convinced by none of this.
In New Eden, trust is earned: it is not granted merely on the grounds that someone asks for it. All the more so if what is at stake is not ISK or in-game resources, but a RL player's emotional state. No one here knows who is hiding behind the avatar; not his/her intentions, his/her age, his/her actual competence in dealing with other people's emotional problems, or even his/her GǪ gender. (Riot Girl's female avatar is aesthetically very successful; this should already be ringing all sorts of warning bells in the heads of our 96% male player base GǪ but I bet it isn't.) Asking for confidences, but offering none in return, seems to me less like a strategy for making friends than an attempt to establish oneself in a position of power. |

Very profound words, Morihei. Thanks for reminding us of the dangers of placing too much faith in strangers. Oh god. |

All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world ... mad world Enlarging your world Mad world |

I am one of the first to admit that behind this facade does not sit an oppurtunistic rogue, in real life I am nowhere near the Robin Hood the game allows me to be. I find enough emotional exhaustion in real life, work and responsibilities, in the populism of todays politics and the neverending, senseless wars. It's an oddity that I find relaxation and enjoyment in something that comes so close to it, in terms of complex relationships between individuals and groups, and the ingame identities they manifest themselves with. Perhaps the key to that is that none of it is real. Untill you get on voice comms with people. Then the game suddenly changes.
Suddenly it's not just about internet spaceships anymore. It's about people. That guy that so loyally supplies your corp with minerals, or your best spy, do you really wish to know of their personal distress, the terrible issues people struggle with in real life, or do you just want to blow things up together, and have fun trying to get away from all that for a couple of hours? I can understand both viewpoints. Trust has nothing to do with this. I will hear your story and I will feel for you, and that has nothing to do whether or not you have the keys to the batcave.
We recruited a couple of new guys which ended up in one guy killing his IRL nephew without CONCORD intervention because he loaned 50m for a mining ship and lost it on Somer or something. It was hilarious, so to be honest I'll take the highs and lows as they come and should I ever slip up and lose the keys to the Batcave to some spai when 420... there's always Faction Warfare! |

Yeah because people that don't like hot weather and don't want to just chill on fridays all have issues, right? |

Ever since I learned to love the Tentacle, I have never been alone or felt unloved. I have 5 different chars that I play. This may be my main, or maybe not. I have no idea. |

I'm a high sec mission runner although currently Im in null grieving null-bears. I have no friends in game. I haven't been in fleet or gang for about 6 years or so. And only been in gang a few times since 2003.
You know why? Because people suck, they're annoying twats. I don't like people, I play EvE as an escape from my stressful life. Sometimes thats mindlessly grinding L4s for locator agent access. Sometimes I interact with people by killing and grieving them.
The end. |

Infinity, you are a perfect example of the kind of person I'd like to spend time with. I've noticed your posts tend to be slightly bitter and I think I understand why now. You may say you don't like people but I think you're the kind of person who needs and deserves a friend more than anyone. You have such a cold exterior, I don't think you're willing to really let anyone get close to you and I think that's a shame because I'd love to get to know you better. Oh god. |

Quote:So my question is this; Do you find it difficult to form friendships in game?
There are only 3 people in Nerw Eden who I wouldnt rob ******* blind, and I have known them since before I introduced them to Eve. I consider them real life friends.
I have a couple of people in Eve that I consider real life friends whom I met from Eve, but I would totally **** them over in game. And still be friends.
Because after all, its just a game.

This is a thread created so that I could do favours for others, not for myself. Already, I've had 2 players contact me privately who are both very sincere. You can troll me as much as you want but if I can do something to help these players, then this thread has been worth the effort. I'm sorry if you find it difficult to see that my intentions are honest. Oh god. |
