A lot of you like to use the word coward to describe a players in EVE. I suggest looking up the definition of "projection".

Calling someone a coward, while typing anonymously on an internet forum is ridiculous. Engaging in pvp doesn't make you brave, it makes you a gamer.

So does everything else performed within said game.

Have a nice life, time to die.

Doomhiem, receive meh! Apparently an Indy alt is to take my place

I only use coward because the forum doesn't censor it.

Only cowards quit eve voluntarily

The clinical term for your personality, according to your posts, is abrasive.

Again, if you think anything here is cowardice....

I am going to have to disagree with you on that.

Often times everyone forgets that even though its a video game, its still a social situation. The mothers and fathers in this game would hopefully not be happy with their 10-12 year olds playing Call of Duty (why let children that young play those games?) and having grown men cuss them and tell them they are going to come to their house and kill them and things of that nature. That's just a video game but its also real life.

Before Dust/EVE I never ran a microphone in gaming and would never allow anyone to talk to me due to people always talking about how big their penises are or how many hoes they get or how bad ass they are with said weapon or vehicle or ship...etc etc

It is entirely possible to be a coward in a video game. Its more built into some people...they don't want to lose. They can't tolerate losing. They can't tolerate that someone out there is maybe better or has outsmarted them or gotten a lucky break with them. That's why you hear the FPS crowd say as soon as someone kills them, they must have been hacking.

You say projection, as in a mental image viewed as reality and its not so...but people can be nice in video games, can be mean in video games, can be polite, rude, generous, stingy, selfish and any other emotion. People fall in love and get married on video games. People forge lifetime friendships on video games....all facts.

And you say people can't be cowards on video game? Sure they can. The proof is in the pudding. Its a social situation. Its life. It is what it is and people are notoriously famous as a collective society for being shriveled up little weenies in real life but big bad asses online.

Its a social degradation and abhorrent trend. If your life sucks, fix it. Go to college, get a better job, get some confidence, get a haircut, learn some social skills, learn another language....if you hate yourself, find ways to love yourself. Its not that hard.

...10-12 year olds playing Call of Duty (why let children that young play those games?)...

"projection"

You means sort of like IZ did? Pretty much strait up, then screaming "lawsuit" from behind the curtain of anonymity until she(he/she) had a full meltdown and left. Some think the second coming is soon, others that it has already happened and she/he walks among us, just building up for the inevitable. Yes, projection

Probably because 8 to 6 years later they can join the armed forces and do it for real.
Totally understand where you're coming from though, an adolescence with hundreds of hours of violent daydreaming will probably generate unsympathetic, ungenerous and plainly boring adults.

And yes you can be a coward. Maybe coward is too extreme a word to use but it still applies.

You get called a coward when you refuse to obey the demands put against you what you should or should not be doing. It's just one of those words among many that is used into bullying you into submission and obedience by people that see in you nothing more than a tool or a toy to be used and abused at their leisure for their advantage. **** those people and **** their opinions.

You don't even make sense.

Yeah cause CoD is great training for being in the real military. And who would actually want to be in the real military.

You should have stopped typing after this. The failure to make sense of it is yours, not mine.
