Dude, everything ingame is fair game. Outside of game is where it becomes serious. I don't know about you, but I believe I would have grounds to call police in my country. (depending how bad this out of game 'harassment' is).
In the US (especially in Texas) you'd have grounds to shoot him on sight if it's bad enough. The Margin Trading Scam: If you fell for it, it's your own damned fault. Malcanis for CSM 8 |

I'm just going to go ahead and put it out here that Theory666 is unstable and should in no way be trusted in Eve Online.
Also, I am going to hope that you reported this activity to CCP so they can take the appropriate steps. The Margin Trading Scam: If you fell for it, it's your own damned fault. Malcanis for CSM 8 |

Being from the South, I can assure you that calling someone's mother fat where I grew up was more than enough reason to get a mudhole stomped in your ass.

Well, I get what he's saying, definitely. There are some lines you just don't cross. Real life stalking and harassment for a video game loss is way over the line. You want to follow me around in game and gank me every time I undock, I can understand, but this was way, way too far. The Margin Trading Scam: If you fell for it, it's your own damned fault.

Fight and gank and scamming is one thing, but this culture of tear collection is nothing but cancer that needs purged from this game. PvP use to be about the fight and the fun. Scamming was about the rush of the action. Now, it's all about enjoying someone elses suffering. I don't care if you think I'm nuts for my opinion. I'm frankly sick of this culture of tear collection and extreme griefing via verbal abuse (i.e. cyber bullying) rearing it's ugly head in Eve. And I will speak out against it. You know why it happens? Because the people that are the victims react the same way victims always react - by whining and crying about it. Please note, I am speaking directly about Eve online, not anything else - cyber bullying is a very real issue, but that's not what's happening in Eve (by and large - I am sure there is SOME, but not to the extent you seem to be trying to make it out be).
I've been ganked, asploded, podded, bubbled, and I am sure unspeakable things have been done to my corpses when I wasn't looking but, as far as I know, I have never been publicly raked over the coals because I don't turn into a green-skinned rage monster when I lose something in the game. It's a game for the love of God. Do you flip the table when you lose a game of monopoly? Do you punch your opponent in the face when you get beaten at Chess? Would you not be mocked and ridiculed if you did? I think you would - and rightly so.
Normally, if I get popped I don't say anything (I'm too busy trying to save my damned pod). Once I'm safe, I'll exchange a gf with my opponent - no different than shaking someone's hand after they best you in any other contest. If there's time, and they're interested, we might discuss tactics - how they caught me, what I could have done differently, that sort of thing.
If anything is a problem, it's the people who get so emotionally attached to video game that they have to throw their toys out of the pram when they lose some internet space pixels. The Margin Trading Scam: If you fell for it, it's your own damned fault. Malcanis for CSM 8 |

Psychotic Monk wrote:I frequently use the Monopoly analogy, but let me use two others and see if that resonates with you.
1) You've bought a movie ticket. The movie you went to see is depressing. You went to it anyways and underestimated exactly how sad the movie is. You find yourself feeling actually super sad. What do you do? Do you just sit there and being soul-crushingly depressed? Do you go to the theater manager or the studio that made the film and demand a reissue or an apology or a refund? Do you simply leave?
In my opinion, only one of those is an appropriate reaction.
2) You've entered into an MMA tournament. You get hit. It hurts. Do you harass your opponent's family and friends after the match? Do you make sure you harden up before the next fight? Do you immediately surrender the match and quit the tournament? (Two of these are appropriate responses.)
Eve is a cutthroat game. No one has ever tried to sell it as anything else. It is the brain equivalent of a full contact sport. If you don't wanna get punched you don't get into a boxing ring. If you can't tolerate having your ships blown up and you carebear assumptions that you brought in from somewhere else questioned, then don't play eve.
There's are thousands of non-contact MMOs. We only have one full-contact MMO.
A paraphrase of this is making my signature.

I missed this bit in my original reading of the last few pages. Sounds a lot like attempted extortion to me. Or maybe attempted tampering with a witness (which is a felony in the US).

WTF does anyone's tax paying status have to do with the discussion at hand? I'm starting to agree with the other folks that think you're just bat **** crazy.
Also, on the second point, you're wrong. Even the US First Amendment has its limits. Even more so in a private internet forum, such as this one.

Unit CA108AF wrote:But I still stand by my statement. While it doesn't mean everyone is a psychopathic killer IRL, it speaks volumes for the person behind the keyboard to see them enjoying someone elses suffering while continuing to rub salt in the wounds. De'Veldrin wrote:voorsk wrote:The reason for the harassment is irrelevant.

I can't help but wonder what some employers would think about that? Knowing their employees are that way?
What part of my post you quoted above is, in any way, rubbing salt into any wounds? I merely stated that if I felt that I, or my family, were being threatened, I would take steps to end that threat in a swift, forceful, and permanent manner. There may be repercussions for me after the fact, but knowing my family is safe trumps that concern. The Margin Trading Scam: If you fell for it, it's your own damned fault. Malcanis for CSM 8

@Floppie
The really important question in this thread has yet to be asked though, so I'll man up and do it.
I understand the Skunks recently lost a member due to ragequit - is that slot open to be filled?

After all, his every post is telling us that we should be expecting it.
