I bet there aren't any (even semi-)serious religious people who could play as atheist. As a religious person playing as a heathen anti-Amarr freedom fighter turned filthy pirate, I would advise you to not bet that. It just requires some detachment and realizing what's real and what's a game. If you're to interpret RL morality and ethics to the letter, you'd be a very, very poor capsuleer.
I suppose there will always be people who take it that far, refusing to play Risk because they're pacifist, or being nice in Monopoly because it's a "good thing" to do, but you shouldn't bet on everyone who behaves morally in IRL choosing to behave the same way in a contained, relaxed environment meant to let loose and have fun.

Did nto read all the replies,
I will say this, in my own experience, I did one time yell at my wife (then gf) when she was asking me to do something in the middle of my first pod death. This was nearly 10 years ago, and granted the first death is always a bit of a GRRRRRRRR moment. A few min after I calmed down though. These studies are stupid, because what they do it have someone do something then go 'ok now do this thing that's not really going to hurt someone' like a few min after you were evil. a lot of people, still hyped up on whatever, would just go ok. Where as if they had a few mind to decompress they would not. But to the same thing, no control group.. I am sure if you told people 'hey we want you to pur either hot sause or chocolate on this thing, and someone you don't know will eat it' a lot of people will pour the hot sause case 1) it won't kill or hurt anyone, and b) it will be funny as hell to see someone go for milk (I can't handle spice at all, but i'll eat a jalapeno to get a laugh out of someone [yes its burns but I admit my reaction is funny as hell])
All these studies are dumb. Are there outliars and people who really will do stuff in video games and movies irl? Yes. but that is usually credited to bad parenting and other things. I mean if your parents never said 'this is fake and will hurt someone..' I mean hell look at all the back yard wresting groups... sheesh.

Not this again. Didn't we already discuss this to death....I mean, we already shot everyone who disagreed with us?
The "I can be evil in pixel life, and good in real life," people would have you believe they're not really there pounding on their keyboards. By extension, their keyboards must not really be there. Others (thanks King Veldspar) want you to believe they're using this sandbox to confine their evil tendencies so we don't have to worry about them emerging in real life.
Behind all of this is the irrefutable fact that dishonesty is at the root, and who's going to believe a dishonest person? (Well, if we didn't have those kind of people, Goons would be a figment of their own imaginations.) The first thing one must do to be dishonest is lie to oneself. Once that is accomplished, the rest is an easy slide.
What's the lie? One tells oneself, "It's okay to lie." Once that step is taken, all that's left is "what happens if I get caught?" What's amusing is why folks who can resort to all manner of foul behavior in-game feel the need to be seen as having a level of control that holds them innocent of such things in real life...as though (again) they're not really sitting at their keyboards. The other interesting feature is playing down the significance of what's been done. "It's only pixels."
If that were the case, where does this "milking tears" part come in...I mean, if none of this is really real? Fortunately, for civilization and humanity, people don't get to decide what's good and what's evil. The nature of exisence has already worked that out. This leaves just the retribution. If, as in the case of EVE, there is none, that doesn't mean evil ceases to exist. It only means the authorities involved have sided with evil, which is evil, as well.
Ultimately, it's not a matter of you have done it. It's a matter of if you can do it. Being capable of evil is evil as well.

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....

If that were true, basically all of humanity would be evil.
We're all capable of being evil. It's the fear of repercussions that holds most of us back.
Now, take these away and you'll end up with people behaving in a way they usually never would, like in, say, Eve Online.
Does that make it morally reprehensible? I think yes.
Does it make it evil? I think not. 'Human' is what comes to mind.
Our pixel opponents are outside of our monkeysphere; we just don't care about them. Being evil would imply enjoying kicking them when they're down - and there are a few players in th+¡s game who do just that. |

The study is falsehood with respect to Eve Online. Essentially; this game is actually an S&M roleplay, in electronic form, with slightly less sex. You are supposed to pwn and get pwned.
The only psychopathic act is not participating in the grief. This makes you at best a voyeur, watching, staring at other people getting it on and having fun vicariously through them. At worst you are a tease, sitting in the belt in your pretty mining barge, wearing your short short tank but not letting anyone touch. |

While I don't necessarily believe these people are psychopaths, they most likely do suffer from some sort of mental disorder. Let's take a closer look at what these psychopaths are actually doing when they grief and "extract tears".
We have fully grown adults who are using their spare time to engage in social interaction with other adults. Since they cannot be held accountable for their actions, they decide to use this social interaction to do any of the following for the sake of amusement: - Spend dozens of house earning the trust of someone only to deceive them - Cause unprofitable destruction in the hopes of receiving rageful communications - Engage in rude and immature communications with those they perceive as easy to upset
Considering this is all done purely for amusement, ask yourselves this: Are these the actions of normal, functioning adults? Reading the paragraph above, I feel like I'm describing a rich, snotty 16 year old from white suburbia. Instead I'm discussing fully grown adults.
It's easy for them to ignore or justify their actions when EVE is a gathering place for these sorts of people. With dozens if not hundreds of other troubled minds to reinforce their actions, it's easy for them to brush off most criticism.
Unfortunately for them, one day they will actually grow up and have to look back at this time. Boy, will they feel ashamed. |
