Burlock Ironfist Celtic Anarchy	Posted - 2006.08.04 08:18:00 - [1] I have seen many flame wars on these forums, some make me laugh and others make me dispair at whats being said. I have participated in some of them myself, and watched others that i have never worked out why they get inthe state they are. So what gets you really fired up? whats the funniest thing you have ever seen a flame war kick off for? BOOBIES!

Herberge GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2006.08.04 08:48:00 - [9] People who make blanket statements that goons are worthless or all horrible/cancerous/antisocial, etc. But on the other hand me saying that is probably something that gets various other people fired up. This thread is positively calculated to generate intersecting sheets of flame, centred on a single point on the forums. The combined energy of a hundred orthogonal flamewars will ignite a singularity at the heart of the Eve-o forums, renewing them in a wave of loose particles and leaving us all, when the maelstrom has passed, hanging, gentle, still, unharmed in a new and boundless universe of polite conversation.
Evelyn Lavi	Posted - 2006.08.04 08:50:00 - [10] Gate campers calling themselves "predators." That's like a guy in a modern warship tossing a cruise missile at something a hundred miles away calling himself a "warrior."

You lost me in the second paragraph And anyway flames are great, Your ranting at pixels on a screen. I for one find that kind of humourous. I can pick jenny's avatar out in an instant without seeing her name... And I hate it/her That being said were playing a pew pew spaceship game I hate her charachter not the real person (As she lobbys for the Evil race!)

That's like a guy in a modern warship tossing a cruise missile at something a hundred miles away calling himself a "warrior." Hah, you should tell that to the people who named the US Air Force's unmanned combat aerial vehicle the "Predator." They also call themselves warriors so you could argue with them about that too :)
Michiyo Daishi	Posted - 2006.08.04 08:56:00 - [13] Human ignorance and the fact that each and every one, including myself, are enslaved to such a horrific and stupid fate. - posts posted are not official statements of EVEnews.com, and are the poster's own

Hah, you should tell that to the people who named the US Air Force's unmanned combat aerial vehicle the "Predator." They also call themselves warriors so you could argue with them about that too :) Touche. How about this. Some kid with a lot of free time sitting around for hours out of range of sentry guns, and pew pewing with F1-F8 at ships going by, is not a "predator."
Evelyn Lavi	Posted - 2006.08.04 09:12:00 - [15] Pirates. But they taste great!
Gariuys Evil Strangers Inc.	Posted - 2006.08.04 09:21:00 - [16] Stupidity gets to me, and everything related, such as but not limited too horrible ideas to better EVE, ways too balance the game by making one race so completely overpowered noone will fly anything else and the like.
Deja Thoris Contraband Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2006.08.04 09:41:00 - [17] People that reply without even reading the thread (and so completely miss the point) are my current pet peeve.

Gariuys Evil Strangers Inc.	Posted - 2006.08.04 11:06:00 - [23] Burning flags, spiting, all useless. Personally, I just shoot a random Caldari when stuff like this gets to me. Works much better, and it doesn't fill the ship with smoke.

Herring Pimpology Pimpology in Mining Player	Posted - 2006.08.04 11:15:00 - [25] Not much can rile me up here in the forums, avoid drama, but once in a while it can get annoying when someone tells me that there should never ever be any better mining ships in the game, and then 3 mins later in another thread I see the same person saying OMG when am I gonna get my tier 3 battleship already???!!! Annoying. Wishing for better mining ships in a system near you.
Tachy	Posted - 2006.08.04 11:22:00 - [26] Mods locking interesting discussions. People not taking the time to read the posts, flaming others for no reason at all. --==*-- Even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment.
Caleb Paine Itchy Trigger Finger Brothers	Posted - 2006.08.04 11:35:00 - [27] In flamewars, nothing because I don't do it myself really and I can only laugh when people have a go at it, I'll laugh even more when I give them a reply that totally went over their heads. ingame or IRL; stupid people, or more precise... stupid people with an opinion. It's not a problem to not know something, it's not even a problem to not know everything on a subject and form an opinion from the data you have. However it IS a problem when people just can't follow reason or logic and live in their own twisted reality and then make everyone else suffer for that. ----------------- Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Joerd Toastius Octavian Vanguard	Posted - 2006.08.04 11:39:00 - [28] Stupidity and/or an inability to use basic logic. Usually both are found together.
TuRtLe HeAd Apocalypse Enterprises	Posted - 2006.08.04 11:43:00 - [29] Edited by: TuRtLe HeAd on 04/08/2006 11:44:32 Personality clashes, Mis-information, Opinions the list is endless. being quite a hated forum poster myself. I only ever bite back at people when they drop the bait. I'm a sucker for flame bait, and it often ends in getting burned. But hey, its cool, Its not that I don't like them or their views, its just they are wrong. Oh yeah and unjust snip and "Locked, Thread has run its course."
Bartholomeus Crane Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2006.08.04 12:00:00 - [30] Caldari players (or their alts) telling me the Caldari aren't overpowered ...
Salusa VC TunDraGon	Posted - 2006.08.04 12:20:00 - [31] Players who try to justify/deny a game mechanic by using RL comparisons. Its a game not RL...
Tristan Acoma Caldari The Eleventh Commandment	Posted - 2006.08.04 16:51:00 - [32] Originally by: Bartholomeus Crane Caldari players (or their alts) telling me the Caldari aren't overpowered ... People who whine about the Caldari in the forums.....
RaThlan Naaoor	Posted - 2006.08.04 16:53:00 - [33] In short, people who want to nerf entire aspects of the game for carebearish reasons - the devs should feed 'em to the hampsters.
Tristan Acoma Caldari The Eleventh Commandment	Posted - 2006.08.04 16:55:00 - [34] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire Waaaa waaaa waaaa. Sad there arent pampers for forums. I really think it would be splendid if there was a waaambulance mini icon (like the pirate and carebear icons). So many posts could be replied to with one click :D
Double TaP The Establishment	Posted - 2006.08.04 16:55:00 - [35] People who whine that caldari are overpowered because the raven runs level 4 missions super leet!
HappyKitten Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2006.08.04 16:59:00 - [36] This argument.
Tobias Sjodin Caldari Ore Mongers	Posted - 2006.08.04 17:03:00 - [37] People that favour race/ships A, and claim race/ships B is overpowered. And need either race/ships A boosted, or race/ships B nerfed. Preferrably the latter.
Anfelina Adante Gallente	Posted - 2006.08.04 19:29:00 - [38] Nothing. 'You've got to be kidding me.' is my general thought to hate.
Rock Saw	Posted - 2006.08.04 20:21:00 - [39] What fires me up are people that don't take time to read your post, and then rant off on how your opinion sucks, just becuase its different than theirs. I ***** up all the time! I'm willing to bet these are grown adults that can be so immature! People can be so impatient and unwilling to debate anything... most here just want to be a voice heard. Oh, and another annoyance... are those little dweeps that just post their small quip... just a tiny poke... that proves nothing, but its their feeble attempt for an ego boost. Again, I laugh uncontrollably.
Coran Ordus Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2006.08.04 20:27:00 - [40] When people define everyone who disagrees as a troll. Or when they say only people who agree can post in their thread. It's hard to think of a more counterproductive statement
Bhaal Minmatar M. Corp Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.08.04 20:27:00 - [41] I never involve myself in flame wars... ------------------------------------------------ Current Hobby other than EVE My Hero
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.04 20:32:00 - [42] Originally by: HappyKitten This argument. His argument is solid, constructive and to the point, isnt it? --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Tsanse Kinske Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.04 21:19:00 - [43] People who put no effort into making their posts readable. People who make too big of a deal about other people's spelling, grammar, etc. Patronizing tones. People who can't ever acknowledge that people who disagree with them might actually have a point or two. LOTS OF CAPS AND !!!! IRRITATE THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!! Forum bullies--there's definitely a type that just loves to pick on people who are less articulate or less knowledgeable, but won't dare face somebody that's near an equal footing with them. Name calling. Whining, whining about whining, whining about whining about whining. Hair pulling. Oh, and mindless hostility. Intelligent hostility is always welcome though. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. -Douglas Adams, writing about EVE
Tristan Acoma Caldari The Eleventh Commandment	Posted - 2006.08.04 21:20:00 - [44] Edited by: Tristan Acoma on 04/08/2006 21:20:24 Originally by: Tsanse Kinske LOTS OF CAPS AND !!!! IRRITATE THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!! Caps lock is cruise control for cool
Kalixa Hihro	Posted - 2006.08.05 04:06:00 - [45] Edited by: Kalixa Hihro on 05/08/2006 04:14:14 Originally by: Burlock Ironfist So what gets you really fired up? People that complain and get stuff nerfed, because when it happens, a whole new group of complainers is born. As soon as something gets nerfed, something else is "overpowered" to a whole new group of players; the cycle starts over and the forum whining never stops. There are times when I wish I could silence the lot of them. While 98% of the players are having fun playing the game, 2% are on the forums crying loudly and the devs actually listen to them sometimes. It's actually scary. The people that have fun playing are never on the forums because they are busy having fun, so their (majority) opinion doesn't get heard. To the whiners: if something is overpowered, LEARN TO FLY IT. The grass is always greener... -Kal /----------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ My opinion in no way represents that of my corp or anyone I am associated with, and is probably entirely wrong.
Gamer4liff Caldari Metalworks THE INTERSTELLAR FOUNDRY	Posted - 2006.08.05 05:01:00 - [46] People who can't see anything from a perspective that is not their own. Short sightedness basically. Also pretentious and arrogant people.
Auraurious Celtic Anarchy	Posted - 2006.08.05 05:03:00 - [47] Generally the thing that annoys me the most is when other people resort to insults to make a point. "Only an idiot can be so stupid as to believe that, that might have a chance at being true" is the kind of statement I am referring to. Exceptions of course when above said sentence is true. _____________________________________________
