Seriously though, the Glastonbury Festival appears to attract torrential rain every other year.
It's been a swamp every time I've attended, and until the Plod (Police to you foriegners ) stop them there's usually a a fair few drunk or otherwise intoxicated people cavorting naked in the mud.

So disliking 'carebears' in a video game is a thing in the same way religious intolerance in real life is?
The inability to understand the separation between 'real life' and 'in-game' is a leading cause of in game ganking, don't you know..... |

No, he hates Kulaks and extremely rude unpleasant individuals, as most of us do. Carebears who look after themselves in space, ask for help if needed, and do their carebear thing are to be cherished

#1, videogame vs real life. Big damned difference.
Secondly, I hate entitlement stuffed crybabies who want to justify their own lack of effort by stripping away player freedom from others. It just so happens that the most expedient word for people like that is carebear. I don't hate people for what they believe or what they do (except DMV employees).
And that doesn't conflict in the slighest with my my dislike of someone's chosen philosophy in a video game.
So take the chip off your shoulder, carebear. Someone talking smack about how you play a videogame does not equate to denigrating sincerely held beliefs in real life. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Your commentary in the latest VR thread belies that. You clearly believe that carebears are the *only* people in the game that have bad attitudes or are capable of such behavior.
But it's all a facade anyway. You live for the insults and threats. If Carebears didn't give you "tears" of various flavors at all, you'd be bored to death with this game, because the only thing in game that gives you any satisfaction is ruining it for others in order to get an emotional and/or irrational reaction out of them.
If you really can't deal with the hate spewed at you for your actions, maybe you should HTFU. Profit favors the prepared |

No, I don't. I didn't say anything of the sort.
What I said is that I don't find it hard to believe that a carebear would be such despicable slime as to denigrate someone murdered by terrorists. In fact it's really easy for me to believe, since I have a giant stack of such abuse in a folder on my desktop.

If you think spewing hate, sexual insults, and death threats are appropriate responses to legitimate in game actions, you are in dire need of an attitude adjustment. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Rational or otherwise, it's a violation of the game rules. If people can't keep their heads so as to not to make death threats about videogame spaceships, they don't need to be part of the community.

Irrational behavior is often spontaneous and emotionally driven. Inspite of the laws making it wrong, the probability of an irrational person following through on such a threat is next to nothing, otherwise you probably wouldn't deliberately engage in the acts that provoke those results.
The irony is that with all your bleating about in-game vs. reality, you do everything you can to force a real life consequence on other players. I highly doubt that you have your stack of evidence about threats because you're hoping CCP will act on it someday. Let's call it what it really is, your trophy case. Profit favors the prepared |

Revis Owen wrote:Goldiiee wrote:Revis Owen wrote:Goldiiee wrote:If you could reason with religious people There would be no religious people
Agreed. Another rule of thumb: there is a difference between religion and faith. A very common misperception is that the Code is some kind of religion. That belittles it. It is a faith. A faith in a better EVE. Come, reason with us. Yeah, not really helping your argument there but if it makes you guys happy and keeps you out of my backyard, have all the faith, religion or naked swamp parties you want. More power to you and YeeHaw or whatever floats your boat. Indeed, if your most powerful expressions of reason include the phrases "naked swamp parties" and "YeeHaw", I could see how you won't get far with religious people . . . or people interested in productive reasoning with you. No, when I see an entire alliance following a manifesto, and referring to their leader in terms indicative of deity status I believe they are RP'ing the equivalent of a Jihadist movement. the Holy War against 'Bot aspirant' behaviour the Mining permits that are actually not mining permits, and the justification of ganking used as a disguise for antisocial in-game behaviour.
This is a game, Rp'ing is allowed and encouraged, if your are dissatisfied with how your particular RP is interpreted then all I can suggest is change sides, after all it is a game and you can do that without incurring any standings penalty whatsoever.
But in the meantime, if I believe your RP'ing is in line with deluded religious fervour, I get to treat you like a zealot in need of a good brainwashed deprogramming session. And again 'No Appoligy incoming' if the only answer that is accepted by the fanatical is 'Yes your right and we acquiesce', then any ridiculous combination of words including 'Naked Swamp Party' should be an equally ignored and appropriate response.

There are three actionable offenses in his bio by itself. Please tell me, for the sake of carebears everywhere, why this guy should get to go around polluting the game like that.

Too bad for them that "blowing up their spaceship" isn't against the game rules. Even if it does make them mad.
Is "not flagrantly violating the rules" really too much to ask? Is that what you're telling me? "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

That crap just doesn't belong in any game.
Specifically, in a game that has relatively few rules limiting player interaction, strictly enforcing the few, sensible ones we have is important.
A temp ban (even just a day) is no biggie, it's just a clearer way to say 'do and say (almost) all you want, but none of that crap in here, please; take a day off to think about it, then you're welcome back'. |

"blowing up their spaceship" is not why you play. Your end game is to entrap people into breaking the law, by any means necessary so you can then turn around and slap down the victim card and use it as a means to bring about real life consequences. You play to affect others real life negatively based purely on known human weaknesses (attaching monetary or other value to invested time, etc.)
To you, Eve is about pushing people to their psychological breaking point, and then pretending they just snapped out of the blue for no reason. All so you can notch your belt with more names of people you got banned.

Evei Shard literally cannot conceive of anyone just running around blowing up other people's spaceships in EVE Online without them having some kind of mentally unbalanced ulterior motive. Apparently it is not possible to PvP for fun, you have to be deriving sadistic satisfaction from it.
So, I'll ask you again. Knock off the slanderous carebear bullshit narrative and just answer the question.
Is "not flagrantly violating the rules in response to legitimate in game actions" too much to ask, or not? "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

And yet the only one projecting any hate here is you. Ironic, ain't it?
Why do you care what motives others to play a video game so long as they are doing it within the rules of the game.
And why the focus on the people (like Kaarous) who are mentally suited to the game and no mention whatsoever of the unhinged, juvenile, petty, way to sensitive 'carebears' who are their targets? Do you ever ask 'why do they play a game if they can't hack it'? Because seriously, those people are the problem.
Them choosing to play EVE is like an epileptic choosing to play a game called "FlashyFlashyMcStrobeLights Online" and getting mad when someone flashes a light at them.
Exactly what game do you think you are playing, Shard? |

There are no words. None at all that describe just how delusionally paranoid you sound right now. You may want to step back from online gaming until your rationality returns.

All so you can notch your belt with more names of people you got banned. Blowing up spaceships in a game that revolves around the destruction and creation of spaceships != pushing people to their psychological breaking point. The fact that some people do flip out about their spaceships being blown up, in a game that revolves around precisely that, says more about them than it does about the person who causes them to do so.

Yep, it's pvp no matter what the other party does. EVE features NON-CONSENSUAL PVP and has since it was a 1997 gleam in some Icelandic Freak's Eye. If a person doesn't like that, EVE is a bad choice in game.

Yes. Unless those ships are being controlled by the game's AI. PvP stands for "player vs player", there is nothing in that acronym about honorable space bushido duels.
Unwillingness to properly defend yourself does not somehow disqualify you as being a player. And if it does, then the New Order is right about bot aspirants. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."
