Torturing the young and innocent.

Kind of.

I work in IT - and I'm feeling more and more apathetic to my collegues on a daily basis. Maybe its just the 4 hours of sleep I've had for the past few months.

it's probably because you get people saying "it's broken and won't work" even though the dialogue box tells them exactly what the issue is.

Working in IT really does make you hate people, though.

I never thought about it like that but I realize now I was a lot less misanthropic before I became a help desk technician.

my favourite example was as follows;

"Dave my laptop just died"
"what do you mean it just died?"
"well it gave me a low battery warning about 15 mins ago, and now there's just a black screen"
"did you put it on your docking station to charge while you were working?"
"no."

there are some kinds of people you want to help by simply putting them out of everyone else's misery.

Im a psychologist.

People rule!

But seriously; EVE is a great place for me :)

Im a misanthrope.

People suck!!

I'm a Police Sergeant, I've been in law enforcment for 16 years and I play way to damn much EVE. I told this story in alliance TS once and guys loved it:

One day I was working an overtime gig at a college basketball game and a fight broke out on the court, then the benches emptied , then spectators got invovled. Hell, even cheer leaders were fighting. It was me, 2 other guys from my department, a couple Deputy Sheriffs, a State Trooper and an officer from a neighboring town. It was chaos, fists flying 2 and fro, the game officials over run and 7 widely spread out and uncoordinated LEOs. I'd just been promoted to Sergeant in my department, but not only that, i'd started FCing in Faction Warfare.

So what did I do? I fell back on my training, gathered what officers and refferres that were near me......and started calling PRIMARIES:

"Ok Ok guys, lets get us bettween the 2 benches. Get the Ball players seperated 1st, then the coaching staffs, save the parents and spectatoprs for last. Cuff anyone who resists".

It was fine till someone threw a chair, then the fighting started again so we had to back out, but on dudy officers were arriving so we had more people. After it was all said and done the trooprt came over and said "that snap organizing you did was excellent, where did you learn how to do that".

I lied and told him it was mobil field force (riot police) training, but I hadn't been to MFF training yet. No way I was gonna tell hit it was from flying internet space ships lol.

aaand now I'm a data analyst, or at least as close to one as this moderately sized company will have when i start on monday.

sometimes i wonder if there's something that brings active and ex-forces people to EVE....

police, firefighters, EMTs, army, navy, air force....

I've met soooooo many military (current, reserve, ex and retired) and a bunch of emegency services/1st responder (police, fire, ems/medical) folks from different countries in my 7 years of playing EVE. I'd think it's different for everyone, but the things I do in eve are relaxing and let me blow off steam after a long day of being lied to by almost everyone I meet

"no ossifer, therez not an ounce of blood in my alcohol system!!"

i can understand that.

though my question was more, is there something specific about EVE that helps you do that?

for me, being IT tech support, i have a great urge to physically harm users sometimes. EVE lets me blow stuff up and otherwise whizz in someone's cheerios in a safe way

I can't speak for anyone else of course, each individual is different.

But yea, I work at a job that (despite what people think because they watch TV and see cops kicking ass and taking names) is VERY tightly constrained. Where as 100 years ago an American cop using lots of force wouldn't make people so much as blink, nowadays (in this age of everyone has a camera and their is a lawyer under every rock), a cop so much as using language that's slightly too harsh will get you into trouble and unto youtube lol.

(The mark of a great law enforcement career nowadays is being able to say "I've never been on youtube!" when you retire)

After a day of being fussed at by citizens (who didn't lock their cars or their houses and got robbed) for never being around when they needed them, or being asked "don't you have anything better to do than harass law abiding citizens?" by a guy who was doing 50 mph in an active (20mph) school zone while texting, hell yea blowing up internet spaceships is a release valve lol.

Well, statistically speaking every second male person in germany is an ex soldier... So I don't quite get wha't so special about that... But that might just be me.
