______ makes the vastness of space feel absurdly small.

I think "we" should "smoke" a hot "slimy" bird and "scream" no less than "twenty" "times".

@ Cutter You seem bitter. Angry. Do my words incite those feelings within you? How on earth do you cope with real life when a post on a forum can make you so irate?

I agree it's time for local to go. I shouldn't be forced into a worm hole to not get my hand-held. Local was never intended to be the ultimate source of intel, having it be so is lame. But I feel I am just beating a dead horse... We all know local needs to be changed, well all of us besides a few loud carebears/nul-bears.

If you are really interested in removing local there is a thread in F&I already going. You can find it here. Though I suspect that you already know it's there.

@ Kimmi Chan Who mentioned local? Did the OP? Or is that your initial gut feeling to the questions posed? Remember its wrong thinking, obviously.

@ Amdiel Good post. Some intellectually nuanced answers but a good post none the less.

@ Cutter It's 130 est I dont think the few minutes devoted qualifies as all afternoon. Im sensing more hostility.

Surprised no one mentioned boobies yet.

Or the fact that I am in the UK and it's 18:24 here. Lmao.

EDIT: that and the fact that you started your whining about 5 hours ago. That means you have spent a fair portion of the afternoon whining about local.

Psst: He's actually been going on about it for over a week straight, getting increasingly whiny as his arguments were stomped on time and time again.

Blue-footed boobies?

I say the answer is CCP

Back to declaring you a sycophant.

If you want to declare me a sycophant, go ahead. Here's the definition of a sycophant:

sycophant (-ês+¬k+Öf+Önt)

GÇön
a person who uses flattery to win favour from individuals wielding influence; toady

Point out where I've been flattering you or even trying to win favour from you (or anyone, for that matter).

Yes I know the definition Zim. I also know that people of that personality type will substitute praise for attention, even negative when praise isn't available. Like I said ZIm, 3 pages and on each you make a cameo appearance.

Here's a challenge for you Zim. Take your nose out of my rear, create your own thread and engage the posters. Keep them entertained and responding through your own brand of conversation.

This is a wonderful answer. In the original post I included it as my first answer because it fit almost all of them. I removed it and decided not to answer at all. I know you took the time to read and think about it so a thumbs up to you.

@ Cutter We dont have to quote on page three. Not all of us suffer from add. And also since the thread has no focal point there isn't a real way to derail it. You can spam it but then ill recreate it.
@ Zim Like I said Zim sycophant. You can give the same definition again and ill tell you the exact same thing, actually I wont youre going on block again. But that being said when praise is unavailable negative attention, any attention will suffice.

@DMC A better question would be in spite of the various nuanced answers what single particular feature could be truthfully stated to affect all at the same time? =)

We have established CCP as one. Hmm, what could be the other non entity?

@ Zim Like I said Zim sycophant. You can give the same definition again and ill tell you the exact same thing, actually I wont youre going on block again. But that being said when praise is unavailable negative attention, any attention will suffice.

I just love how people like Caliph, when they get angry enough, can be given a proper dictionary definition of a word multiple times, and still get it wrong. vOv

Also, my sig applies to you.

Cutter Isaacson's sig > "Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue."

Even more amusing is people who are "amused" as opposed to "enthralled" with said person can't just walk away.

Actually, you and Lord Zim should be receiving Report cards for your Forum skills, or lack thereof.

In case you hadn't noticed, some players have stated I like to do that option quite a lot.


They just might be right, considering I don't deny it.

What effect would gay people at a dance event have on EVE? Apart from maybe a drop in logins?

It's all fun and games until they hot drop you...

It's all fun and games until they hot drop you...

Page 4 Zim. Sycophant. Though I think you've found your source of praise from others you believe hold hostility against me.

I think this gives a "hole" new meaning to "HOT DROP"!

I like you, but you are either as daft as the OP, or a very careful troll. Either way you amuse me. You also make a lot of sensible posts, not all of which I agree with, but you do at least have the ability to engage in serious discourse without needing to resort to evasive tactics.

That may be so but most of the replies I see in this thread do not follow the guidelines, rules and regulations pertaining to the forums.

I was also asked to apply for CCL but I declined. Why?

Because I would probably name my character Davy Jones, kill a lot of replies and send a lot of threads to 'The Locker'.


DMC

Well, I'm glad it amuses you.

Nonetheless, everything I posted is true. The OP was perfectly fine and had some legitimate replies. However, he was personally attacked by others who were trying to incite a flame war and derail this thread by posting sarcastic, disrespectful, demeaning, berating and offensive replies directed towards the OP.

I personally detest seeing that and have been guilty of doing that myself in the past. But I was shown the error of my ways and have vowed to post replies as per Forum Rules. Now when I see it getting out of hand, I'll post a reminder to those involved and if continued, will just issue 'Report Cards'.

Now that we've gotten off-topic, it's probably best to do as the great Stan Lee says - 'Nuff Said'.



DMC

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. He didn't draw first blood and now you wanna continue doing it with me.

Seems Diplomacy is a skill not too many players want to use.
