You just want to argue with everyone but just dont have the facts or concise writing to do it convincingly. Breaking down quotes sentence by sentence does not make you effective at arguing, all it seems to do is confuse you as to the spirit of the argument.
Take a deep breath, read what you write. Come back to a it a minute later and possibly have someone else proof it.
If people are having a hard time understanding you, you just aren't as good at communicating as you think you are. Maybe you should use the edit function that you gave me **** about.
With that said, you STILL havent proven how removal of local will kill Null. And stating what is already wrong with it is really just a distraction.
REMOVE LOCAL!
Communication is a two-way street - without considering the possibility that it is you who has a problem understanding, not him that has a problem communicating, then you cannot conclude that the fault is his alone. If there is a miscommunication, then clarity should be requested. Abusing him for it is not considered effective communication, so I doubt your expertise in communication is that good to begin with.

Man, this is so ironic, listening to some wormhole dweller who lives off of the wonderful and profitable sleepers while protected by their PVE being concentrated in signatures which have to be probed down, and entrances/exits that are collapsible and also have to be probed down, while also not ever having to worry about hot drops literally ever, telling me how I'm the one with no balls playing on easy mode. Then come into the whs and find me. Prove it... prove it is easier than nullsec. here let me even help you out and show you how to use combat probes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O561wrlNSkYes, yes... Our PVE is doing sites while constantly being hunted down by cloaky t3s. You wouldn't last a day without local.
This sounds like "look at me, i'm shpeshuller than you"
I live in WH bud. It's **** easy. almost as easy as high sec. put up a pos and you're good to go until someone scans your wh down. and without local, they ain't gonna know you're in the wh without doing even more scanning.
ratting and anoms are a moot point. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

There are NO MINING BELTS in Whs. No ratters. Aside from anoms, you have to scan down everything else. As far as warping to anoms to gank people, if you are not omni-tanked for sleepers in a pvp fit. You will lose your precious ship... Booohohoho!!!! Sheesh! you can talk big especially when you dont know how it all works.
Sleepers are a lot easier to beat than other players.
You seem to be talking quite big yourself. You're also raging a bit - I suggest you calm down and try discussion instead of obnoxious expatiation. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

ratting and anoms are a moot point. What? A c1? try living in a c5 or c6. then talk about easy. And the same goes for when you go into other WHs, you wanna make isk then you venture out and take that risk. Local is useless across the board. I don't even use it in lowsec anymore. Better yet, try FW with Alliiances in a WH. The whole no talking in local rule goes out the window.
You're assuming I don't? If you find it so terribly difficult, then that's your problem. It doesn't mean you nerf nul just so enforce your difficulty with the game on everyone else. You just sound really jealous and antsy right now. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Ah yes, never forget this little gem! You see, the internet isn't "real life" and therefore nothing that happens on the internet could ever have an actual impact on real people.
OH no, anything that happens on the internet is, by virtue of simply happening on the internet:
"A Joke!"
Never mind that real people are really behind the really real words they're typing "on the Internet" and that those words actually do reflect real world opinions, beliefs, prejudices and discriminations that really do affect really real people from Marginalised GroupsGäó and they already have to deal with that stuff on a daily basis - so what! It's "the Internet". Nothing is "real" on "the Internet". You can simply say to them: If you take anything on "the Internet" to heart, you're taking it "too seriously" and probably just need to log off for awhile...
... and go out into the "real world" where they will... experience the exact same type of discrimination and prejudice.
You see, this tactic conveniently ignores that there is no genuine respite for Marginalised PeopleGäó when it comes to encountering bigotry characteristic to their group, not even through a supposed entertainment medium, like "the Internet".
Since nothing on "the Internet" happens face to face, you as a Privileged Person-« can easily persuade yourself nothing that happens on "the Internet" really matters. You can then communicate your contempt for the Marginalised PersonGäó's experience by dismissing and trivialising any hurtful or outright hateful things either you or other Privileged People-« have said, simply because it was on "the Internet" and since they can't see you and you can't see them, how can they even prove the words even mean anything, nyah nyah neh nyah nyah!
Using this tactic, you're also subtly characterising 'the Internet" as an autonomous being - it's not people being offensive, it's "the Internet", thus allowing you to further shirk responsibility. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

His character has been playing since August - it's possible he just doesn't have a full understanding of the game, or it's possible hat Kenneth is just an alt. If it's the former - there's nothing wrong with that, but pretending you know better than people who have been doing it for years is... a little arrogant. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Kenneth O'Hara wrote: Well i do know what I am talking about. I am a fast learner as well. I ask questions and I gather intel from others that have provide good information on the forums and other websites. When I come across a good thread I post constructive post. nullbears are in denial about local is all. If I am completely wrong about nullsec as everyone says I am then please enlighten me. explain to me where I am wrong in a non-insulting constructive manner.
I don't think you do know what you're talking about, and I think you're relying on poor sources of information that also don't know what they're talking about. You want to learn something? Learn from one of the best:
"For some time, ganking in 0.0 has just not been worth the effort: it's hard as all hell and you usually can't find anyone to gank. As a result there are frequent calls to make ganking easier GÇö generally by nerfing local. That approach is misguided. Predators donGÇÖt tend to die off because theyGÇÖre not good enough at killing their prey. They tend to die off when all the prey has been killed or driven off, starving to death because they are too good. When youGÇÖve fished out the cod in Cape Cod so effectively the nets are coming up dry every summer the solution isnGÇÖt to get better nets: itGÇÖs to stop devouring every single fish before they can recover their numbers. Likewise, when you introduce an apex predator into a new enviroment and it quickly butchers everything in sight except the mice, the key to keeping it hunting isn't giving it the ability to catch mice."
"The problem with small-gang ganking (small gangs looking for random people to shoot rather than looking for honourable fair fights, i.e. every single player in EVE) and 0.0 ganking GÇö the problem isnGÇÖt local. Local is one of the few things actually keeping anyone sitting around in 0.0 waiting to get ganked. ItGÇÖs that the incentive to sit in a belt mining or ratting is so low that thereGÇÖs so few people to gank. Take empire, for example: if I pilot my ganking crew into an ice belt and start ganking away, people can GÇö if theyGÇÖve got half a brain GÇö keep themselves perfectly safe. But there are so many people that I can easily gorge myself on the idiots. ItGÇÖs clear this model works: in VFK, thereGÇÖs always enough idiots packed into the system that someone will fall into your drag bubble between the jump bridge and the station no matter how many times itGÇÖs reported in intel channels and no matter how easily you can be seen in local."
You want to read more about why local's not the problem? Read the rest here. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Experience does.
I've never read a game guide that hasn't left something out, or missed the point completely. Guides are no way to learn a game, and I never touch them anymore. Guides are for referencing game info, such as what sort of resists to tank for against what npc faction, or what kind of mins a certain kind of ore will yield, but never for learning how to play the game.
As soon as you start playing a game by a guide, you'll lose yourself in a rut so deep that you'll never be able to adapt to difficult situations that the guide may simply not cover. And in a game like EVE, you'll get a lot of those. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

What it should or should not be used for is irrelevant - the bottom line is it's there, it's part of the mechanics, therefore it's not an exploit. Everyone in the system has access to it, therefore they know you're around just the same moment as you know they're around - it's only afkers and the inexperienced that won't know what to do with it, and the inexperienced will learn the hard way. The afkers can just burn. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

I know, I made that distinction quite clearly. Guides are only as useful as the player is unable to learn for themselves, and as I previously stated, if you use guides, you're going to get stuck doing what the guide tells you to do, and never learning for yourself.

I'm not getting the idea of spreading intel in local... unless it's bad intel. Like disinformation for the enemy. That would make sense to me.
Scroll back up the page to this post. Read the article I linked there for you - if you read it, it will answer these questions. Local doesn't provide intel via its chat function, it provides intel via the fact that it shows you who is in chat, and therefore who is in system. If I'm mining Jaspet solo in the Seyllin system, for example, and I see someone appear in local, I'll check their sec status and leave if it's below 1, but if it's above I'll align to the nearest gate just in case. You should plot bookmarks in-line along your asteroid belts at a warpable range. That allows you to mine aligned. This means you don't have to do anything until a neutral or hostile lands on-grid with you, because it'll still be a few seconds before their warp cancels. You get to mine safely, even without a tank. Clever bookmarks and targeting mean you never miss a cycle, except for when you have to boogie.
I've been thinking about setting some up, but lately I've been in and out of low without a problem. I've gotta got out there in a shuttle, as well as Groothese and Elarel, and plot some bookmarks though. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

A little off-topic here, but my thread inviting everyone to Halle got locked this morning, and this will just be brief...
I posted there about I guy I watched afk mining in a Talos in Halle get ganked by a guy in a Thrasher - I had front row seats to it and got some decent screenshots of it. When the Thrasher attacked, the Talos just kept orbiting the roid with its lasers going, completely oblivious to what was happening.
Well, the KM just went up on BC as well

Link to post that made this claim, please. I haven't seen it yet, but unless I'm mistaken, the claim that all conflict occurs in high-sec has not been made. The claim that it would all occur in high-sec is made on the grounds that removing local would be a deterrent for people to explore nul. No one would go there. You obviously haven't read the article I linked - if you want to talk about logical fallacies, then you should first explore the opposing argument properly to see if they've made any.
Kenneth O'Hara wrote:Illicit majorAll wormholers are ignorant of nullsec. No elitist nullsecers are wormholers. therefore, no elitist nullsecer is ignorant of nullsec.
Did you know that if you don't spend any time living in nulsec, you probably won't know as much about it as those that do?
Did you know that if you spend time living in nulsec, you'll probably know more about it than those that don't?
This is not a logical fallacy - you're just looking at it from a perspective that is clouded by the assumption that some form of bigotry is taking place against wh players. Don't be too mad, last time I checked, you were a wh player with a bigotry against nul-seccers.
Kenneth O'Hara wrote:And to top it all off for your arguement on how if local is removed and why you do not want to give it up. Argument from ignorance
There is no ignorance here except yours - once again, you would understand why local in nul is not a problem if you had read the article I linked you to. Seeing as how you are still going on about it, I can only assume that you've either not read it, or failed to understand it. If you have failed to understand it, then I have to question how much of it you actually read, which comes back to ignorance.
Would you like another linky?? Maybe you should read it this time.
If only you knew what I did for a day job - you wouldn't be throwing failed attempts at calling "logical fallacy" - I'm not normally one for blowing my own trumpet, but I'm a bit of a godking of logical fallacy detection, and I was the one that wrote half the wiki articles on them in the first place. My speciality is cognitive dissonance, and I also have a special nose for media illiteracy. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

There would also be more conflict on the market as well. I am sure this will be butchered, misquoted, and taken completely out of contexts as well. That is what ignorant people do when they feel they could possibly be wrong. Like small children. Either way, I'm out guys. Good luck arguing amongst yourselves, playing children's card games or whatever you goons do during your free time.
Lol
It can happen: you may reach the point where, in spite of expertly using all of your best tactics, youGÇÖre suddenly struck by the discomfiting notion that maybe your opponents, uh, have a point.
This doesnGÇÖt feel very good for any Privileged Person-«. ItGÇÖs highly uncomfortable for a start-off, the sensation you may be wrong about something. But even worse, it may mean you have to endure the humiliation of admitting that!!
But never fear, for all is not lost! You can still worm your way out of this one!
Simply say:
GÇ£It was all a social experiment!GÇ¥ "You took that out of context!" Or, my personal favourite, "You're too ignorant!" < this last one is especially useful when you have a block feature, like on Facebook - deliver it, give your opponent enough time to read it, then block them and they can't respond!!!!
This makes it okay, you see! Not only does it imply to your opponents that youGÇÖre really not the ignorant, obnoxious newb you might be beginning to realise you are, you successfully communicate to them that you are that insensitive, that arrogant and that much of a douchebag you would take issues they know more about than you that affect everyone in the game and treat them as nothing more than a theoretical discussion for your own detached amusement!
In this way you cover your arse whilst affirming your privilege!
Not to mention how many posts you've half-quoted yourself but completely missed out the important parts. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

EDIT: are you a furry? Because the last time I saw someone misuse that many argumentative fallacies it was a furry doing it, and they seem to do it a lot. Well that and yiffing.
Maybe he's on boosters??

I'm still trying to find a niche in the game - there's so much on offer, I very nearly squee every day with how much I love this game. But I just can't find a "place" yet. Not to worry, I shall. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

They never actually say why that would drive people to nullsec.
I've always suggested it could be exclusively a chat system - that is, you only show up in local chat if you start chatting. If chat gets nerfed in nul, then it should get nerfed in low and hi as well, but for people that still want the social element, or use chat to do business, it is still available as a chat platform, but as soon as you "announce yourself to the system", you will appear in local.

You still aren't stating why that would drive people to nullsec, which is the crux of the entire argument. My "Local" solution that would make me happy, because yes I wander other peoples space and try to kill their ratters too would be for local to pop when I load grid. I can list the number of times I've landed on field right as the ratter was aligning his stupid dominix out and warping off on a millipedes toes, an extra few seconds would do a lot to make it so yes there is SOME risk if the ratter isn't paying attention, but it doesn't throw the ball entirely in either of our courts. If local was removed and I'm in a bomber the ball would be entirely in my court, and virtually always on my court unless every single gate was camped by a scanning ship reporting intel (which frankly is too much to ask of players).
No, I'm not the one making the argument that it would drive people to nul. The keyword I phrased here was "suggested", as in "what would happen if...". IMHO, I don't care about local - keep it, nerf it, whatever happens I'll adapt to it.

Actually, it's only a vocal minority of people with any kind of problem with the game in the first place - the majority are out playing it. The majority of people also have no problem with the majority of the upcoming expansion. Therefore, nothing needs to be done to make it better for the majority. You don't scare me.
