Poetic Stanziel Fweddit I Whip My Slaves Back and Forth 1181	Posted - 2012.09.17 09:20:00 - [1] - Quote from http://goo.gl/E39nB (blog link, which has words in the URL which this forum censors) This is not an uncommon refrain from the super-carebear set. If you're a scamming, ganking, heartless ***** in the game, then you must be a scamming, ganking, heartless *** out of the game. It is, of course, just a bunch of wishful thinking by those who want to feel better about their loss. Raise themselves to a higher level of morality than their perpetrator. It's to absolve themselves of their own stupidity. Every stupid loss in this game could have been easily avoided. Goonswarm is often the target of this unfounded vitriol. Whether it's because The Mittani scammed a Titan sale, acting as a trusted third-party (hello, Google is your friend), or Hulks are ganked (hello, d-scan and a tank), or an entire trade hub is put under siege for a weekend (hello, you there, under that rock.) Who we decide to be in EVE Online (or any virtual world) is not who we are in the real world. For the most part. Certainly there are people who are assholes in game as they are out of game. But that's certainly not a maxim. Far from it. I think this site** sums up the heartfelt generosity of a group of people who are generally seen by a certain segment of EVE's population as misanthropic, degenerate, narcissistic and bordering on the psychopathic. Donations are certainly coming from people from outside Goonswarm, but certainly most of the donations are coming from the very people who served under and flew with Vile Rat. $23000 donated in under 24 hours. Charity and philanthropy are not hallmarks of psychopathic narcissists, especially when said philanthropy is anonymous and without obligation. Kudos to Goonswarm and all the other degenerates who are helping the family of Sean Smith/Vile Rat. The world of EVE Online and the world outside EVE Online could do with more of your ilk.

Gillia Winddancer Shiny Noble Crown Services 78	Posted - 2012.09.17 09:45:00 - [3] - Quote Generally people tend to take on a different persona over the net, but that said persona is always based to a small degree on your true self. It doesn't mean that you're an ******* in RL if you act as one in a game like EVE, but on the other hand your true self still gets a kick from it, right? It's not a matter of hard case yes or no's but rather the degree. There is no such thing as a complete different personality, with the exception if you happen to suffer from DID.
Crrrazy Ivan Volatile Instability Fusion. 29	Posted - 2012.09.17 09:45:00 - [4] - Quote The main reason I play an MMO is to immerse myself into the role playing aspect and become something in game that I am not in real life. Just because I chose the life of a pirate in game does not mean that I sail the high seas with Somali pirates off the coast of Africa.

Benny Ohu Chaotic Tranquility Kraken. 314	Posted - 2012.09.17 09:57:00 - [7] - Quote because Somalian pirates adopt stereotypical pirate talk to confuse their enemies
Jonah Gravenstein 1298	Posted - 2012.09.17 09:58:00 - [8] - Quote Some people just don't understand the RPG bit in MMORPG, Goons may roleplay at being arseholes, just as anyone else in game can roleplay at being successful entrepreneurs, combat pilots, arseholes or immortals with no morals. It's like being an actor, you can be a cannibalistic mass murder with a collection of freaky dolls in a film, it is simply role playing, how people behave in character is not necessarily how they behave in real life. Most importantly thank you for the link to the fundraiser in honour of Vile Rat, it's heartwarming to see how the community in general has reacted to this sad news, it shows to the gaming world that although we play a game where skullduggery and backstabbing are the norm we are human just like everyone else. CCP can't patch stupid.

Agreed. I just saw it too. I'll definitely look to contribute what I can.

John Ratcliffe Sausy Sausages 11	Posted - 2012.09.17 11:57:00 - [20] - Quote Yawn. The men waved their hats, the ladies their umbrellas. One felt they would have liked to touch the steel muscles of the most courageous champions since antiquity. Who will carry off the first prize, entering the pantheon where only supermen may go?

rodyas Tie Fighters Inc 741	Posted - 2012.09.17 11:57:00 - [21] - Quote It wasn't EVE trading that made me support and invest in the african blood diamond trade. It was just how much return and cheap labor costs that led me to it. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me.

Ten Bulls Sons of Olsagard 211	Posted - 2012.09.17 12:16:00 - [23] - Quote "Who we decide to be in EVE Online (or any virtual world) is not who we are in the real world." Who we decide to be in EVE Online can only be influenced by who are in the real world. Im sure most of the Narcissists and Sociopaths (arses) in the real world dont think of themselves as arses, but that doesnt mean they arent.
Lord Zim 1502	Posted - 2012.09.17 12:21:00 - [24] - Quote I hear this game is a so-called "role playing game". I roleplay an ******* to pubbies by blowing up their stuff in-game to balance out my pet-a-kitty policy in real life.
Rengerel en Distel Amarr Science and Industry 381	Posted - 2012.09.17 12:21:00 - [25] - Quote The real question is whether being a rabid attention *** on the forums means you're a rabid attention *** in real life. I'll await the blog post with the answer.

Bernadett Ecpyrosis 0	Posted - 2012.09.17 13:02:00 - [27] - Quote There's unending fun in seeing people generously donate to the family of an ex seal commando doing probably undercover work in a country that has been bombed back into the stone age by our democracies, when the state dept. will certainly pay a hefty monthlybpension to its family. Arseholes trying to grow sensitiivity by giving unneeded nor deserved help to the family of another ********. Go figure. And yeah, if you're an arse, you're an arse regardless of context.
Jonah Gravenstein 1301	Posted - 2012.09.17 13:06:00 - [28] - Quote Seals are navy, not airforce, VR was ex-USAF, 2 of the other guys were ex-USN seals. That's like telling a marine that he's in the army, pretty much guaranteed to get you a smack in the mouth. I'm not even American and I know that. CCP can't patch stupid.

SwahiliRapist Zuluabortion Republic University Minmatar Republic 1	Posted - 2012.09.17 13:25:00 - [30] - Quote arse or not, the poor serve the rich and thanks God I was born rich... so that means 99% in this forum can go clean my floor if I want. Whether that is noobs or idiots or arseholes, or ISDs, or whatever. I hope I could help, cheers.
