Lord Evangelian Gallente LEAP Corp	Posted - 2010.10.26 22:36:00 - [1] Edited by: Lord Evangelian on 26/10/2010 22:39:46 TL;DR If you had thought of it first, would you still whine? If it was not your ship that was being nerfed, would you still whine? Thoughts, comments? ----- My name is Lord Evangelian, and I have recently returned to this game after a long absent spell. I have come to the conclusion that this player base has become increasingly juvenile during the period of my leave. To put it in simple terms, the players have become selfish and whine when they do not get their own way. Lets put it into an analogy: Two babies in a play pen, they both have access to juice, snacks and the like. One of the babies decides to use his initiative and figure out a way to gain his associates refreshments as well as his own û pointing at something and grabbing it when his not looking. There is nothing saying that this is wrong, but the baby has been out smarted feels left out, and so, alerts the action to a higher power, AKA mother. There we have it folkÆs. EVE online, summed up by two babies. Tell me this, if you had thought of it first would you still be whining, or would you enjoy the spoils silently content with your virtual life? edit: Clearer format The White Mantle \| Inactive on Forum since 20:38 on Feb 9th 2009

I support an Omen buff but have no plans to train Ammar in the next 5 months. -- I am now on a Crusade to Fix the Omen! For Great Justice!

Cat IntheBox	Posted - 2010.10.26 22:49:00 - [6] oh yeah apparently i had thought of my name long before i got used to the forums, then realized you were somewhat of a personality in the game. at any rate, this is purely coincidence i assure you :)
Cat o'Ninetails Caldari Rancer Defence League	Posted - 2010.10.26 22:51:00 - [7] Edited by: Cat o''Ninetails on 26/10/2010 22:53:37 stop ruining my ego trip lol x edit: added smiley EVE Garden
MP Rhianna	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:11:00 - [8] Yes, and yes. I came here expecting a very special offer that would make me rich, left disappointed by a 'returning' player who has gained the unique perspective that people whine too much.
Cat o'Ninetails Caldari Rancer Defence League	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:16:00 - [9] yeah well nobody got my really obvious physics joke so im gonna go in that box and sleep now. OR AM I? lol x EVE Garden
Ash Donai	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:16:00 - [10] Originally by: Lord Evangelian edit: Clearer format Didn't help, you post still makes no sense at all. Sorry, try again.

Professor Tarantula Hedion University	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:19:00 - [13] Originally by: Cat o'Ninetails yeah well nobody got my really obvious physics joke so im gonna go in that box and sleep now. OR AM I? lol You are both sleeping in that box and not sleeping in that box, until one of us finds this box and looks inside. My Warmest Regards. Prof. Tarantula, Esq.
Snowmann	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:22:00 - [14] There is no box.
Hari Markkus Freelancing Corp Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:27:00 - [15] Originally by: Professor Tarantula You are both sleeping in that box and not sleeping in that box, until one of us finds this box and looks inside. The state of the cats in the box does not change depending on whether anybody outside the box knows their state. But that's just me looking at the problem from my lawyer's perspective. Quantum Physics just seems like a lot of clever people having fun with formulas, but it makes a lot more sense to me than the original post.
Cat o'Ninetails Caldari Rancer Defence League	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:36:00 - [16] will you guys stop screwing with my existence please ty x EVE Garden
Cat IntheBox	Posted - 2010.10.27 00:44:00 - [17] The whole exercise was meant to illustrate the limits of human observation of any given phenomenon, in the context of quantum mechanics. I was very dismayed with the knowledge of a 2nd, and strongly known "Cat" name.

De'Veldrin Minmatar Green-Core The Obsidian Legion	Posted - 2010.10.27 02:27:00 - [22] Edited by: De''Veldrin on 27/10/2010 02:32:14 The cat has a sum probability of 1 to be either in or not in the box. Actually, given what I know about cats, the probability of them being in a box, should one be available, will tend to approach 1 the longer the box is left in one spot. Even if the box is full of your (now dead) grandmother's china which your idiot husband left precariously balanced on the corner of the kitchen table while he was looking for something else. Self awareness check: I may be bitter about cats, boxes, and the presence of my husband. Edit: On the topic of the OP: You're whining on the forums about all the whining on the forums. How does that irony sauce taste? --Vel
MuscularTeeth	Posted - 2010.10.27 02:47:00 - [23] ha! awesome. i design tees. here is my schrodinger cat tee. http://www.redbubble.com/people/muscularteeth/t-shirts/2182190-4-schr-dingers-cat
Amon Tyr	Posted - 2010.10.27 06:03:00 - [24] Quantum physics is a collection of BS made up to cover the shortcomings of modern science. Lord Evangelian, welcome back to EVE.
Peter XZ Gallente	Posted - 2010.10.27 06:15:00 - [25] Thank you for the post, yes more players are becoming selfish and juvenile, sort of like society at large, maybe post 2012 things will change AMAZING VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koTGkgcMOL0[/url

OR AM I? lol You are both sleeping in that box and not sleeping in that box, until one of us finds this box and looks inside. But with 2 Cats in a sandbox, do you really want to look inside ? And isn't it the classic solution to almost every problem, to look "outside" the box ? --------------*

Muul Udonii Minmatar THORN Syndicate Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2010.10.27 10:08:00 - [28] There both is and is not going to be a Drake nerf until there either is or is not a Drake nerf. People whine about anything, I think it's because they have nothing better to do.
Cipher Jones Minmatar	Posted - 2010.10.27 12:08:00 - [29] Edited by: Cipher Jones on 27/10/2010 12:09:53 Originally by: Lord Evangelian Edited by: Lord Evangelian on 26/10/2010 22:39:46 TL;DR If you had thought of it first, would you still whine?

Guilliman R Gallente Northstar Cabal R.A.G.E	Posted - 2010.10.27 12:20:00 - [30] Originally by: Cat o'Ninetails two cats one box? x By using math I have concluded that: (box = X) Two cats in box and removing one (goes outside) X+2+x-1 = 0 x+x = 0 -2 +1 2x = -1 x= -1/2 There is a half a negative cat in the box. ------
