Edited by: Plutoinum on 19/04/2006 03:24:05 I'd say I usually play seriously, but I don't take things in-game too seriously or personally. Perhaps a bit like sports. I always prefered a serious match over playing 'just for fun'. I can joke during a match, but the match itself has to be hard, a fight, otherwise I don't enjoy it this much. And in EVE I strongly distinguish between in-game and out-of-game. I can like someone out-of-game, nevertheless I want to fight/beat/defeat him in-game. E.g. a corp mate has joined ATUK a few months ago. I like him, we had good fun. Now he's DICE and after BoB reset the standings, I was wondering, when I meet this old mate in the first battle and thought that it will be fun, when we shoot eachother e.g. in a fleet fight. I start to 'grin', when I just think about it. If I get the chance I'll pod kill him and he surely will do so, too. *edit* ok, perhaps not, seeing him floating in an egg would be fun enough and allow us to talk a bit.

From my perspective there are some people that can't separate 'alliances' and 'friendships' into two different things. They take a change of goals (usually followed by standings) as some form of backstabbing, even when fair warning is given. It really is interesting to get hate mail from somebody who I've never met, seen or spoken to over the fact that my leaders no longer sleep with their leaders.
Usually fades after a week, because real hate isn't based on defense.

Just because you share some hard words with someone here does not mean you take this game very seriously. I can easily flame someone on these boards simply because it would be in character for me to do so and I think the person I'm flaming has made it justified through his retardness. What you write on the forums is seldom indicative of how serious you take this game.
What you seem to want is that every kiddie****wit in this game whose posts border on retardation be met with a shrug and a friendly pad on the shoulder. Sorry, not gonna happen.

best part is where ppl who have no idea about the player dpb tell how is he is and what kind of guy he is, but only knwo dpb as a iga char - gj.
And yes i got a lot of hatemails, mostly cause i blew someone up or he wasnt able to blew me up. But hopefully this ppl get over their lose and and as soon as the dt hits their in game live they calm down a bit.

Where ever theres competition, theres going to be emotion - as if we can avoid it!
Certainly the community has it's 'over excitable' people, but thats never really bothered me. Quite the contary, emotion behind words makes eve FAR more interesting. IMO its not unnatural as people would suggest to be pasionate/angry/bitter over a virtual world, whats important is the bit thats not virtual, the real competition between players that makes eve just another platform to pit human intelect against each other.
Its never nice when ugly emotions infiltrate the mainstream atmosphere, but thats life and it happens in the majority of any club formed around a particular sport/interest/hobby.

I've always thought that distractions turn into hobby's when they start costing money :)

Interesting to read this from someone in your position. Maybe you are just very good at delegating stuff and don't spend so much time in the game. But I still doubt you wouldn't cry like a baby and create plans for vengeance if someone took RKK or NOL from you for instance. In short: To achieve the level of excellence you achieved you have to take this game very serious ;)

On a more serious note, I have noticed more than one person for whom this game goes beyond the boundries of GAME. When it's your only hobby and your only friends are the ones you know from EVE, etc... That kind of thing is a bit spooky. Like... go outside and look at the big ball of fire in the sky sometime, ya know? Go meet people who don't understand what the word "n00b" means. They actually exist. Honest. -

the reason people take this game seriously is there is consequence for dieing.
in wow, guildwars you die you lose nothing
eve you lose isk, ships, mods which take an age to aquire sometimes.
this is whats gives eve the buzz when you are going down and into structure you pulse quickens etc. it is addictive.
as with all addictions people come to involved and cant seperate rl from virtual.
this is just my take on it
Where there is trouble you will always find AGGRO |

Since I don't use alt spies or anything and never joined RKK:
+ You are a founding member of RKK + You once were the official CEO of RKK + You are some kind of RKK spokesperson on the forum (aka Forum *****!) + You write all those stories about RKK history for the pleasure of your members
I may be totally wrong, but I always thought you were and still are some kind of motivator and "father" for RKK. I don't want to be understood as a fanboi, but you earned my respect. And respect isn't earned without dedication and hard work. I just doubt you take this game not a itzy bitzi serious. But then again I don't know you ;)

Originally by: Avon I had some pretty light hearted chats at the London meet with people who's corpses I have in my hangar.
I can't think of anyone there who was (overtly) holding any personal grudges from ingame events.
You didnt notice that the beers they were handing you were a little warmer than usual? (j/k)

Originally by: Shimpu I just doubt you take this game not a itzy bitzi serious. But then again I don't know you ;)
Aye but that's the point, last year I stopped playing eve for 4 months over the summer, I can walk away anytime I want and not have a hint of regret.
ofc I love the game when I'm playing and have a lot of fun doing so but if it got to the stage where I was actually worried about anything in the game or getting seriously stressed about anything that happened in the game or hurt by the abuse I got from people on the forums then I would be pretty silly.
Life is too short to worry about stuff like that, you just gotta enjoy yourself where you can.
If peeps ain't enjoying something and are getting upset, hurt or unhappy then change it.
The people I'm talking about are divided into two categories:
Firstly there are the ones who take it too seriously on the forums, the ones like Pugwash, Baun, Aneu who sychophantly follow BoB around because we took away something they once had. Look at people like Halseth, Cochise, Persh. We destroyed the north but they move on, go past it and just keep playing the game, having fun and they don't follow us around like little doggies hoping to get one up one us on the forums. Looking for a little verbal slip or mistake.
The second is the type of player who will smash up his kb when he loses something, or punch the wall or scream or cry.
I laugh when I lose a ship then talk about it with the guys for a while then get back into another one and do it again. The ability to not get overworked by losses of any sort is what got RKK to this position, we get knocked down, we laugh it off and we get back on with the next bit.
Anyway, you all keep dragging me back into this thread, marine was talking as a generalisation of eve so like I said above, leave me out of it and respond to the OP.
cheers, dbp

The thing is, I think there's a big difference between taking your game/hobby or whatever seriously and taking actions carried out within the game personally. The sooner people learn to make that distinction the better imo. For characters to hold a grudge over an extended period of time is fine imo. When those characters players don't RP in general though, I find it a little worrying and wonder if maybe they're missing that distinction.
