I don't think people are good or evil. Smart or stupid.
I think we're all just people and sometimes we do good things. Sometimes we do evil things.
Sometimes we do smart things. Sometimes we do stupid things.
So to all of you people, I love you all. Even when you do good things. Even more when you do evil things as that is when you most need love. When you're smart, yep I still love you. When you're stupid....
Well no, I hate stupid people.

Essentially: A grown man looking to take advantage of another grown man they percieve to be innocent and vulnerable. That's not true at all. I hope I get lit up when I awox someone. I really do, I am literally looking for a fight.Quote:2) If they were to enjoy it and grief back, you wouldn't do it anymore, as the entire purpose of it is to upset them.
The argument is thus moot.
Then it's not griefing, is it? It's two people exchanging fire in a video game. Quote:- Cause unprofitable destruction in the hopes of receiving rageful communications Oh, now that's just funny. "unprofitable"? Like anything in this video game is really profitable? It's also telling that "profit" is your measure of whether of something is ok or not in the game, btw. Quote:- Engage in rude and immature communications with those they perceive as easy to upset
Have you ever heard of the "Highsec Miner Grab Bag?" I know very few gankers/griefers whatever who are not polite. I myself am the model of decorum. But it's the miners, the corps who don't check API, the supposed "victims" who tell me that they'd like to figure out where I live and set my car on fire, or pull out my teeth and shove them up my fourth point of contact. And I'm supposed to be the psychopath? Yeah, uh huh, gotcha.
Don't bother man. You're ******* evil. But it's okay. I still love you.

Also, crazy people don't know that they're crazy. So I'm not crazy or a psychopath. The other 499,999 people in this game are ****** in the head though...

But can they really separate the two? Does one's EVE persona reflect who and what people are in real life despite all their denials? A new study claims that playing the villain makes you a bad person in real life: ' Gamers that adopted villainous Voldemort as an avatar, were more likely to dish out a punishment in the experiment .
'University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers found that people who played games as a heroic character were more likely to reward others.
'They warned that how gamers represent themselves in the virtual world of video games may affect how they behave toward others in the real world.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2555752/Playing-villain-video-games-makes-MEAN-Avatar-role-play-replicated-real-world-claims-study.html#ixzz2svavZ1lj The daily mail is a rag full of right wing propaganda with a mostly elderly readership who sneer upon anything they don't approve of or can't be arsed to understand. I might be a bit if ***** on the forums but that is only because a little bit of heat is expected around here. Likewise in eve once you leave high sec everyone is an outlaw. There is no point in trying to be nice in such places you will be eaten alive. In real life however I am a kind and considerate person that wouldn't harm a fly, so just because some idiot thinks that some people can't separate reality from fantasy has wrote up yet another worthless piece of **** whilst trying to pass it off as science doesn't mean that it is true. Like a lot of people here I don't have a dark nature away from eve and I am not more likely to dish out punishment than anyone else, quite the opposite in fact. I am an adult and know the difference between a game and real life.
If it weren't for psychopaths, bitches, thugs, gankers, dickheads, and shitboxes, this game would be really boring.

Shooting the messenger is psychopathic.

Lady Areola Fappington wrote:Why would any self respecting "sociopath" (that disorder actually doesn't exist, BTW) use EVE as an outlet anyway? EVE is just a video game, nothing matters in it, and it's all consensual. There's no thrill in it anywhere.
EVE shenanigans are all stereotype sociopath tropes that let people play-act at being the villain for awhile. A real sociopath would be much more likely to try getting at the person behind the keyboard to do some real hell. Stuff like stealing identities, destroying RL relationships, things that actually involve hurting and manipulating real people.
Actually, I used to date a girl that was a sociopath. She had no concept of how her words and actions affected other people. So she would act out in ways that were inconsistent with "normal" social interaction. For example:
Me: "My brother was shot and killed in Afghanistan."
Girl I was dating: "Really, was it in the face?"
This kind of response is something I would call sociopathic. I've not seen her for about four years and am better for it.
I think the question here is one of "conflict tolerance". Some people have a high tolerance for conflict. Others do not. When you push a person past their ability to tolerate conflict, they're going to lash out with heated words and vitriol; whether they're playing Eve, or poker, or checkers, or any other game. Many people in a real world scenario live by a code of "live and let live". No such code exists in Eve so behavior counter to "live and let live" is seen as "psychopathic".
To those who think the miner who shouts crap in local after being ganked is a psychopath: You pushed them past their acceptable level of conflict tolerance and are seeing the culmination of your actions manifested there. Too often, I think that this raging in local is treasured by the gankers too much. It's one thing to engage in this activity for profit. That I can understand. "Tears" on the other hand - that's just a level of cruelty and malice that I don't get and maybe someone else can explain it to me.
To the rest who would rather log in and just be left the hell alone to do your thing: You are voluntarily playing a game where there is no "live and let live" code. Be cognizant of your level of conflict tolerance. Constantly ask yourself, "what am I going to do if i get ganked here?". And if you do get ganked think very carefully about how you react to it. My suggestion is to get your pod in a station immediately and log off, go into a room by yourself and scream at the top of your lungs, go for a run, work the heavy bag a bit, and burn off that frustration and anger in a more positive way that screaming all kinds of stupid crap in local, sending a tearful e-mail to the ganker, or any such thing. If the objective of a gank is tears and not profit, do you really want to be the guy giving the gankers what they want?

Yes.
ED: Did you know that adult male bears will eat bear cubs? It's one of the reasons that adult female bears have a reputation for being extremely fierce. Those females will fight to the death and generally the males know this. Is the adult male bear a psychopath? Or is he just hungry and that bear cub looks like a tasty snack?

Maybe.
I think the whole talk about sociopathy and psychopathy are general laymen terms and only people academically trained in the fields of psychology and not internet spaceship gamers are truly qualified to further diagnose the nuance of whatever disorder she may or may not have had.
From my viewpoint, she was just a crazy ***** regardless of what Wikipedia article people want to link to.
