So, long story short, today I attacked a group of allied miners in friendly space. Not suprisingly my CEO and Alliance were ****ed and now the lynch mob is out to get me, but for some reason I found myself feeling really guilty for screwing up my corps relations with our allies. Considering the majority of players I meet who like to screw other people's (virtual) lives over, do you ever feel guilty for what you do?

Congrats on ruining any "rep" your alliance had.

Well if you do feel guilt, remorse, or regret for any other reason than unintended consequences of your actions, chances are you did the wrong thing.

If their was no strife the game wouldn't be any fun, it would just be a pointless grind.

Resign from EVE and never come back.

crap, was gonna ask for stuff..
seriously though why would you attack a blue mining op? There's gotta be some reason, I can think of heaps or possible ones but what is yours? If there isn't a reason odds are you've given up on eve in which means either you should leave eve or try something new like pirating or wh'ing.

Not attacking blues is the first rule of being in a player corp. You probably should feel guilty in this case.
Feel no guilt for any other kills. I shot and killed an AFK Navitas with an Apoc yesterday. Did it for the lulz. Do it all for the lulz (except shooting blues.)

Guilt is for the weak.
Did you have fun for doing it? If you did, then you'd better not feel guilty. Do what you want, tell everyone else to **** off, and have a blast.
THAT is EVE. It's a sand box. And yes, I am taking a leak in it. Right. Now.

If you make personal relationships with people in game the f u ck them over its the same as screwing friends over in real life.
Its one thing to gank people in low sec and 0.0 or who you are at war with etc. Your theres no dishonesty thats the game. Its like giving a faul in basketball.
Its quite a different matter to join a team then turn the ball over on purpose.
Wherever you went - Here you are.

Is it really that bad to go out with a bang? If you think that the people who you attacked wronged you in some way, and if you were leaving regardless, I don't see a huge problem.
The only issue is the misuse of trust, but is it really all that different from killing clueless carebears using tricks like offering to salvage for them?
Just some food for thought.

E-guilt is overrated.
That said I've still had a bout with it. Popped a newbie's very first battlecruiser on its way to an L3 mission, and his corp hadn't taught him insurance yet. I bought him a new one and gave him immunity for the rest of the dec.
But aside from that rare instance, nope, not an ounce of guilt for in-game actions.. And I've done a lot of things ppl might frown upon

I had an interesting experience with one of the chat channel board thingys (whatever  )
I advertised a destroyer and advertised it as "cap stable." Well, I never heard the end of it from this one guy. It took me a while to make it cap stable and still somewhat offensive so it was a big feat for little noobly me.
Anyhoo, I just ignored him and other people where kind'a ranking on him for being such a **** to me.
Next thing I know he pops 25 million isk in my account.
Go figure.

Eve and guilt.
I once blasted a guy and then paid for his ship.
After that I only target reds. No guilt involved there at all.

Its a choice, plain and simple, It just means you will likely have a rep now and will have to deal with the consequences thereby. A sucky FC, drama queen, scammer, corp thief, etc. all carry reps as well; for some people that type of playstyle is suitable and desired. I wouldn't sweat it if you can deal with the fallout.

Remember kids, when we play online games our avatars are our opposites from reallife: EVE pirates are actually nice guys and don't kill people in real life but when carebears and those who gets guilt over killing virtual people.. well you get the picture.

Did something like that once, ages ago having just gotten in my shiny new Manticore, went to empire to have some fun. Found some guy ratting and looting with a dessy, went to the next belt and popped one to leave a wreck.
He came and took it, I 2 vollied him. Convoed him, told him how I was able to, what not to do, bought him a new ship and fittings.
I'm a sucker sometimes

speaking as said CEO, well...former CEO. S**t happens. Not the first time I've been screwed in this game won't be the last. Just never expected it to be you.
Oh and yes you should expect consequences, but hey if you can handle that then all's well that ends well. |

You should feel guilt, you screwed over ppl who had worked hard to be-friend you and took the time to get to know you. If you want to attack miners you should have gone to red space, there are thousands of systems of people that are red to you. Hopefully you will grow up one day and realize that character and friendship means something. You should be shot on site

Well in my opinion I don't think a "player" should ever feel guilty. He is just roleplaying a character. Now weather a character should feel guilty or not depends on what type of character you are playing and what said character personality is :-)
