Brolly Caldari The Department of Justice	Posted - 2006.11.24 02:19:00 - [31] Help channels and the lack of help within them. People who use help channel for general chat **** me off and should be permaband for being idiotic. twitch Also, in help channels when you ask a sensible/intelligent question and above idiots spam chat, or no one gives a simple 'don't know', or even a place where information may be gained. Spelling going to crap due to seeing so many typo's per day and some weird part of my brain accepting them as the true spelling. stuff. If I had ú1 for every intelligent comment posted in general discussion, I'd be hideously in debt
Takaharu Tsuyoshi	Posted - 2006.11.24 04:27:00 - [32] Originally by: Jin Entres Edited by: Jin Entres on 23/11/2006 12:43:11 Originally by: Indra Sebuchiore For some reason, people using "toon" to describe their "character" really boils my p1ss. We're not playing cutesy fantasy online trash, this is EVE. You had a character. This is shown, in one example, by the "select character" screen. You do not have a 'toon'. Repeat after me: "I do not have a toon." I think it's rather funny, to be honest. Pet peeves? Okay, how about: Unoriginal names Especially when they are typoed. Like killer23, clOUDsstrife, MaGcywer, Bhatnam, baathamn, sepirottt etc. Ok so you couldn't get your favourite wussy idol's name - You should be grateful, people may not take you for an idiot afterall. But no, you must go and typo it because it's already taken. You are of course the real one. And what's with the 31337357 upper and lower case letters? Truly, hANk dORK impresses me. And I admire ToNy TrUbADuR. Keep it up fellas. Unoriginal corp names "Interstellar Galactic Production Enterprises". Please. Was "Meaningless ClichFs And Pretentious Mediocrity" taken already? Unoriginal bios Notify: your ego is largely disproportionate to your abilities. Your attempt to impress anyone with your wrecking hits is laughable at best. Are you a poor Minmatar? Abused as a child, slaved away in the Nike asteroid fields your whole childhood? Suddenly turned into a hero, freed yourself in a rambo struggle and lead your people to revolution? Thank you sir, would you please step into the line. Here, you are number #2545234251. Next! Simple concepts ...are not hard to grasp. If you mine Veldspar, it is not free. It is still worth it's market value. You invested time into it. That time is off something else. If you still think it's free, let me have some until you don't. When you log in, you accept certain risks. Stop blaming other people. You are not a psychologist. Well, maybe you are, but most of you are not. Don't think you can draw conclusions about someone's OOG persona based on your ill-conceived theories. EVE is a game. Simple thing, sometimes hard to remember. -- That's all for now. Amen.
Wild Rho Amarr Black Omega Security	Posted - 2006.11.24 09:20:00 - [33] RPers who write about how their parents/brother/sister/other relative were killed by the evil XXXX and they are on a quest for revenge. People who treat smilies and "lol" like it's punctuation or worse, seem to think it makes an effective counter argument to someone elses statement. People who flame someone elses post and then at the same time demands that everyone has to respect their (the flamers) opinion. I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it.
vanBuskirk Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.24 10:25:00 - [34] Pet peeve: Overlong bios that say in 4000 words what could be said in one sentence; "I'm the best PvPer in EVE, beware!" I saw a good bio once, short and to the point. "I don't like starting fights, but I finish them." ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." ----------------------------------------------
Vina Caldari Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.24 10:40:00 - [35] Quote: 4. For the roleplayers: STOP SMIRKING. It's not even a valid response to anything. All you do is make yourself seem like Dubya Bush. Or maybe the intent is to seem really smug like Generic Cliche Metrosexual Anime Antihero With White Hair #69276643. asians. ----------------------------------- btw, threatening to close 1 account really hurt my eyes. - xaioguai
Indra Sebuchiore Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2006.11.24 16:32:00 - [36] Originally by: Wild Rho People who treat smilies and "lol" like it's punctuation or worse, seem to think it makes an effective counter argument to someone elses statement. Yeah, "lol" as punctuation really p1sses me off as well. If you really did laugh out loud at something, then fine, use LOL. But I doubt you laugh out loud at the start and end of every sentence. If you are, then you've got issues, man lol. Grrr... __________________________________________ "In girum imus nocte, et consumimur igni."
Verus Potestas Caldari Perkone	Posted - 2006.11.24 16:34:00 - [37] Edited by: Verus Potestas on 24/11/2006 16:35:13 Originally by: Wild Rho People who treat smilies and "lol" like it's punctuation or worse, seem to think it makes an effective counter argument to someone elses statement. lol, internet. Between corps atm, the NPC one is strictly a temporary thing. RAWR!111 Sig Hijackz0r!!11 - Immy

Tzarkan Tzeench	Posted - 2006.11.25 00:38:00 - [39] Originally by: Verus Potestas Edited by: Verus Potestas on 24/11/2006 16:35:13 Originally by: Wild Rho People who treat smilies and "lol" like it's punctuation or worse, seem to think it makes an effective counter argument to someone elses statement. lol, internet. lol.

Hllaxiu Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2006.11.25 01:41:00 - [40] I hate it when people use unpronounceable names. --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson
Obsidian Hawk Gallente Statler and Waldorf	Posted - 2006.11.25 02:58:00 - [41] The lack of exotic dancers in amarr space. hows a gallente supposed to spend money there? honestly in pvp people who complain about drones. drones are a legitimate strategy in this game. Its not that hard to shoot them down. just have to learn how to. Also alliance people boasting how their alliance is the best and how they rule eve. Words of advice, Nothing is permanent, gods can be killed, empires fall Another people who say this one ship is the best and has no rival etc..... a ship is only good as its pilot and any ship can be taken down by another ship. And as for forums pet peeves, people like Samirol wasting 15 mins of my life which i can never get back.
Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Worms Corp	Posted - 2006.11.25 05:52:00 - [42] Originally by: Peter Stuyvesant Originally by: Indra Sebuchiore For some reason, people using "toon" to describe their "character" really boils my p1ss. QFT, and a fine turn of phrase I might add. Also the use of 'quest' and 'guild' in Eve make me frown. - Putting x at the start and end of your name, wtf? - Name in caps - Cliche quotes about war in bio/sig ------- xPETERx "War is not about who's right, but who can spam the most cliched war quotes" ive never used Quest in EVE, but i do let Guild slip out many times. Toon is annoying because when i hear toon i think of those things on the TV that drop Anvils and throw Dynamite.
Tokar Lorell Gallente Mercatoris Technologies	Posted - 2006.11.25 06:02:00 - [43] Edited by: Tokar Lorell on 25/11/2006 06:02:50 Originally by: Tzarkan Tzeench Originally by: Verus Potestas Edited by: Verus Potestas on 24/11/2006 16:35:13 Originally by: Wild Rho People who treat smilies and "lol" like it's punctuation or worse, seem to think it makes an effective counter argument to someone elses statement. lol, internet. lol. (yes i realy did lol) As did I. Quote: Help channels and the lack of help within them. People who use help channel for general chat ** me off and should be permaband for being idiotic. ...errm...wouldn't know anything about that. Nope. ---------- Originally by:** Joe Evertime i sell a mwd I unleash true pvp power?
Kumu Honua	Posted - 2006.11.25 06:24:00 - [44] QFT posts irritate me as well. If you QFT, and then add something to the post, then fine. But if all you say is QFT, you should be shot.
ThaMa Gebir Gallente Raddick Explorations	Posted - 2006.11.26 10:13:00 - [45] Originally by: Dark Shikari Edited by: Dark Shikari on 23/11/2006 04:11:17 Originally by: Sigurd Ross 1. "Respec" or respecialization of character skills in a given MMO, being spelled "Respect". RESPECT? It's an extra letter! WHY!? But my fraction ship needs more turrents! Originally by: Sigurd Ross 2. "..." people who have to say everything with a lot of... William Shatner style... ellipses... to sound... really pretentious... Ellipses are usually used to imply that you're not cutting off your statement as sharply. I.e. "I'm not really sure... but that might work." Originally by: Sigurd Ross 3. Random capitalization of Words, usually Nouns, in a given statement, especially on The forum. Unless the shift Key is going rogue on people, I have no idea why this Happens. Because they're German! Originally by: Sigurd Ross 4. For the roleplayers: STOP SMIRKING. It's not even a valid response to anything. All you do is make yourself seem like Dubya Bush. Or maybe the intent is to seem really smug like Generic Cliche Metrosexual Anime Antihero With White Hair #69276643. I've seen this complaint posted before. And I agree with it wholeheartedly, though it almost seems to much of a cliche that nobody doesn't it anymore anyways. Mods, please hold me back!!!! There will be no survivors now that i'm around - Xorus pwnt - Immy
Ras Blumin 0utbreak	Posted - 2006.11.26 10:43:00 - [46] Grammar facists. Stupid word filters (it's grammar ****s ffs!). Not really pet peeves though, I want both of those to FOAD.
Omega black	Posted - 2006.11.26 18:39:00 - [47] Edited by: Omega black on 26/11/2006 18:42:34 Edited by: Omega black on 26/11/2006 18:40:18 I'm surprised this has not been mentioned yet but being in a beginner npc corp this probably comes up more frequently than elsewhere: -> when people beg for money ...you can earn it just like the rest of us ->when new pilots ask questions that are answered in the tutorial if they would only devote a few minutes to it. such questions include but are certainly not limited to: "how can i fly my ship?" or "how do i warp?" or even better... " where is the pause button?"
Royaldo KVA Noble Inc.	Posted - 2006.11.26 22:45:00 - [48] The bunny sigg. I hate it.
Obsidian Hawk Gallente Statler and Waldorf	Posted - 2006.11.29 06:13:00 - [49] The lack of Chuck Norrisms and other Chuck norris jokes. They are needed in all mmo games.
