Unless a person is reading from a script or having their actions directed by a director, then his actions originate from within him.
Performing an action is evidence that you are a person who thinks of and then performs said action.
If you've posted in this thread an obsessive amount of times, then you are a person who posts in threads an obsessive amount of times. An obsessive person.
It is the person in question who has ultimate responsibility for his actions. If he is "pretending", he is still the originator of said actions and therefore ultimately held responsible for the actions he takes.
p.s. Another exemption would be soldiers in a conscripted army. Having been told to join a military rather than electing to join of one's own accord, then having to perform in an certain manner to preserve one's self. |

In real life, yes. But if you don't do the actions from EVE in real life (Which I think would be most of the players), there is nothing to be held responsible for, as pixel scennanigans are not breaking any real life law. If you start threathening people outside of the game for example, you can be held responsible, but not for scamming ISk from someone in game or ganking. This is what people have been saying through the whole thread, there is nothing supporting that people doing shady stuff ingame, also does it in real life.
EvE exists within real life.
Someone who demonstrates a propensity to participate in "shady" actions online demonstrates capability of performing "shady" acts offline.
It's not absolute, nothing is, but it establishes precedent.
If my ship is blown up and I call you a **** and tell you I hope you contract a disease and die from it, then it establishes that I'm a person who is capable of wishing harm upon those who I perceive as harming me.
None of this is definitive. None of it is certainty.
But it does answer the question why we "assume" how people play the game is how they are in real life. Because it shows at least one instance where the person thought said actions were justifiable, which means they very well might attribute that line of reasoning to other aspects of their "real life", since EvE takes place within said person's "real life". |

In real life, an internet space ship was blown up.
An action did take place, now whether or not that action truly matters is not up to me.
But either way, I'm not condemning either party, only explaining why.
I personally make the choice to never steal. Because I make the choice to never steal, regardless of the medium, I choose to associate with those who share that same value. Because of my affinity for said value, I wish to not associate with those who act in a manner contrary to my personal belief.
But you do what you want.
It's a game. Granted that game takes place in real life, but if you want to pretend that the time you spend in game doesn't exist and you are literally no longer yourself and another being, by all means knock yourself out! Have a blast! I guess it's like role-playing IRL that you're jacking into the internet space ship matrix.
Sounds fun! |

Trying to make people mad is juvenile and immature.
Anyone can bring pain and suffering onto others.
It's only the strong who can rise above adversity and stand as a testament to good will among men. |

Having the option to be an ******* is great.
EvE must not ever remove it.
For it's the people acting like assholes that make those of us who act righteously appear that much better.
If it weren't for the people ganking dudes and dropping sideways insults trying to illicit tears, then no one would be able to tell I'm a much better person than them.
Thanks baddies for helping me look better via comparison.
