Soccer (Football, to you Euros) is not a real sport. It is a game of actors and actresses, who flop about lacking real effort and enthusiam, until someone else bumps into them, and they are called on to make the performance of a lifetime, pretending like they are being violently murdered, in the hope of a penalty being inflicted on the other team. Soccer is a boring, slow paced game, played by pansies. Which race would win a football (soccer) match is irrelevant, because only the gallente would be silly enough to participate, and would still likely lose, with no other competitors.

No

I do not care.

That depends... Are you talking about AFL or rugby?

Ships getting blown up does not constitute an ISK sink. Something being an ISK faucet or sink has no relation to your personal wallet.

Even if you mined the minerals yourself, it's not free. "Opportunity cost" is a quantity in EVE; your time is not free. For example, doing PI and ice mining to fuel your research POS is not being "smart," it's wasting your time.

Rugby Union Football is the only real football.

The world outside of the US and Canada would beg to differ. Those countries have their own sports called football, so they refer to it as soccer. Pretty much everywhere else calls it Football, soccer is a derivative of Association Football, which is the game that is played internationally. While American Football (henchforth known as Handegg ) is played outside of the US it's very much a minority sport internationally.

I take exception to American football being called "handegg" unless you opt to refer to Rugby by the same term. Both are games which fall under the category of a game played on foot with a ball, hence "football" (as opposed to games played on horseback).

That doesn't make sense. Actual handball is played on foot with a ball too. So...

If the only consideration were that balls are involved but not horses that would include pretty much everything!

So, we calling Polo "Hoofball" now?

Of course, that would still including basketball. I dunno, I don't make this stuff up. I just share it with the class.

The real problem comes when we start calling employing the term skatepuck, and then realise that field skatepuck is actually football.

No.

Eve is not an ecosystem. We, the players, are the only non-static entity. Nothing revolves around us, changes, or relies on us, that would continue to exist if we were not here.

Daft question, I've seen some Aussie rules football, it looks fairly similar to Rugby and Gaelic Football, what are the differences?

Well, humans are a part of the ecosystem though, n'est-ce pas??

I am somewhat dismayed by the abscence of immatures comments here. Someone used horsies and balls in the same sentence, godammit! Has everyone but me grown up?

Between rugby and AFL, rugby is played in more or less of a line, whereas AFL is more akin to soccer in the positioning of players. Rugby is about getting over a line with the ball to score a try, whereas AFL is about kicking it through two posts to score a goal or two outer posts to score a point. Goals are 6 points.

There is a rift in Australia as to which is more skillful. I feel AFL is more skillful but rugby needs the guys to be harder. At the end of the day they are both as bad as American football for the whole handegg situation (all though AFL less so as they kick it a whole lot more).

Now what was this thread about again?

This thread is going fun places.

Depends, if the "World" he spoke to was English, they'd just burn down their own stadium in protest. If it was French, they'd just boo him off the field. If it was Italian, they'd fake an injury a second or so later to get the ref to send OP off field.

For the record: It's called football because the ball is a foot long. (American obviously)

Yes

Mined minerals are free because i'm not f**king paying for them!! If i get given vegetable seeds and plant them...then the f**king carrots are free.

The fact I could be doing something else with my time to allow me to buy carrots is irrelevent.

I get given a Venture
I mine the ore
That ore didnt cost me ****!

Where you yanks have got it right is ice hockey! Quality game and one I wish the UK got more involved with.

Making highsec safer will not make the game better. It will make it even more stale and boring than it has become. What it lacks is proper conflict drivers, and common sense between highsec dwellers on safe fitting/hauling guidelines.

Ratting with drones is not harder post Retribution 1.0 in december, it is easier. Fit an ecm or RR module, activate it, and all the rats will stay focused on ships activating Ecm or RR in regular anomalies and most missions.

Yanks? Check your map, lad.

Come spend some time in the "Great White North", on a frozen lake in the middle of winter, and we'll show you how it's really played. Fresh bodies on the ice are always welcome.

Oh, and bring spare teeth. First thing to go is usually the teeth.

Amirite??

Sir, you are the first individual I've encountered who actually knows the origins of the term "soccer". It's amazing how many Europeans become quite upset when a lowly American educates them on the history of "their" game. It should be noted that the earliest known use of "soccer" was in England, not America.

Geez no wonder you were kicked out of ethereal dawn for being an ass.

No. Just no.

CCP, ban this before it takes over like that Harlem shake thing. Please put the word 'hue' into the filter until this blows over.

Mr Epeen

Do they even have soccer in Iceland?

Tiercide was not a nerf. Most of the ships got buffed, new ship roles got added for ships that didn't otherwise have them, and even in the case of the drake, dps for properly skilled players increased.

No.

The mineral changes in the tiercide were not snuck in. They have been known about for months, some of us have been planning for the mineral change to BCs, for the past 4 or 5 months.

How much do you guys charge for Titans? I was wondering because you are in PLs super building alt corp.

Obviously you haven't seen what about a third of the field sports around their chins.

Though the actual answer is that the name is derived from the school who first played it which was Rugby school. They're a bunch of toffs but they managed to come up with a good game.
