Respect is earnt. This thread is unnecessary.
You saw the irony when you typed that right? Surely?
I mean of all the threads started by BoB since the start of the ASCN conflict, this is one of the least unnecessary.
Not that I haven't enjoyed the other BoB threads immensely (no, really, I have) but you've gotta be a bit funny in the head to think that this is "unnecessary", while your propaganda/war report/whatever threads have been doing some sort of public service.
And I agree with others above, some sort of respect is "assumed" or "given" until the relavent party does something that warrants not giving it any more. It's also true that a lot more respect is there to be earned if you do something to earn it.
Anyway, there's also something called being nice, or civil, and something else called arrogance, but I'll leave my post there.

Originally by: Ysabelle nKataros What have you got if you ain't got no respect?
This is a thread for the respect that seems to have fallen out of the bottom of every other thread where trolling, flaming or paranoia have overwhelmed its presence. I went into this war with a very high opinion of ASCN's dedication and achievements and for the majority of its membership I still hold that opinion. ASCN, you have dared to bring the fight to us, you have battled tooth and nail where other alliances have crumbled and faded. No matter that the war has proceeded largely along the lines expected, I doubt any other would have taken half the beating you have and yet still be throwing themselves into the fray. To you, the pilots of the line who have given your ships and pods and your time to the defense of your lands, I salute you.
Throughout the (many) pages of discussion this war has spawned, I have seen snippets and flashes of the respect each side has for the other. For those pilots that are unable to respond mutually, I ask that you leave this thread to those that do; despite the minority who may have offended your principles or acted in a manner you condemn, there are many that would still kick the ball between the trenches on Christmas day, and shake the hand of the man they have been shooting at.
And so to you my comrades in BoB I offer thanks for starting this marvellous little scrap for my entertainment, and to ASCN for fighting the good fight.
See you in space.
as manfred said, you are samurai.

I think what the OP is trying to say is that theres a distinction between a respect for a person and a respect for their fighting skill. Obviously the OP is demonstrating a respect for the former which i applaud and hope everyone can come to agreement about because if you dont have the basic respect for another person then what type of person does that make you?

Respect is not a commodity that you can run out of. Therefore, I have no problem with respecting people until they do something to decrease that respect.

Er no. Respect is given to every fellow human being. Whether they chose to live up to the level of respect given to them in order to keep it is up to them. If they dont manage that then they would have to earn it back. ------------------

So what you and Molle are saying is that you have absolutely no respect for the ASCN members that bring it every day and every major attack? Niiiiiiicee...
Luckily for your alliance there are members like the OP, who is indeed Samurai.

Try reading the post next time. People say that others automatically get respect, we call bull****, especially in a competetive environment.

lol, exactly. BoB are a well led, determined, successful organisation, but they get no respect from a lot of people because of 'tools' like molle who give them a bad rep.
As he says, respect should be earned, he needs to chew on his own words a bit. If the apparantly demented few in BoB would stop letting thier alliance down with thier needlessly abrasive discourse, they would probably earn the respect of a lot more people.
Serious attitude dysfunction.
He might just be role playing his position though, because I doubt someone could possibly take this spaceship game nonsense so seriously.
Thumbs up to the thread creater though. -----------------

Originally by: Slowboat Respect is always deserved in competition as long as your opponent is trying their best each time they face you. You may outclass them in skills or what have you but if they are honestly throwing their best effort at you? It is definitely deserved and earned.
So, you agree that those who sit by the sidelines and do not EARN IT, deserve no respect?
Glad we got that cleared up, because thats' what we've been saying.
Respect, is earned. Those that earn it most certainly DO deserve it.
Should you respect someone that just docks at the first sign of trouble, logs off and then goes back to mining once others have done their part?
No, you shouldn't.
So, what's your point?

Well, that certainly is an interesting statement, seeing as Molle has earnt the universal respect of his corp members, whom he quite successfully leads with his unrivaled determination and organisational skills.
The only 'tools' in this game are ones who talk like 'badasses' and don't back it up in game.

Something given has no value. You have to earn it for it to be of value to you.
So yes... Respect of any worth or meaning, is earnt.
And to be honest, respect to SirMolle, because over the years he's earnt it.

just to clarify something here. This is a war of conquest. We are here to burn, loot, rape, pillage, destroy, and conquer. Respect doesn't mean I won't do all that, it just means I won't smack you in local

Respect as a human, sure.

Why the hell not? In the olyimpics im pretty much 100% sure every athlete respects every other athlete.
In a game, why shouldnt you respect everyone? I dont care if they dont give YOU a fight, i dont care if they do. They should be respected for playing the game how THEY want to and now how you want them to play it. If some1 fails at a game, they should be given any respect? Seems a bit shallow.
However, from a roleplay point of view i can understand the respect/disrespect thing. But pretty much ONLY then. I think most people take it to far though. ------------------

Darko, if you're at the olympics (rl analogies ftl) do you really think people have just "turned up" out of nowhere and been given respect? Have they heck. You turn up to any football ground and demand that the players there respect your ABILITY and you'll get laughed at. Then turn them inside out whilst blindfolded or hopping on one leg, THEN you will get respect.
The notion that people think they should be respected for their ability WHEN IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN is laughable, at best.
No one, least of all BoB, dis-respects people for failing, we have no respect for those that do not TRY.

Now we are moving on to just respecting abilities and effort?
Tbh, sirmolles statement was, or at least seemed, far more broad than that. However i do agree you can only respect some1 for thier ability once they have proven it. But if they dont have that ability you just dont respect them at all?
I wouldnt really care whether they tried or not, unless they suddenly became in some way insulting towards me i would still respect them, in general.
Dont make me laugh. BoB disrespect everyone thats fails. No doubt about that.

In many cases, yes. Some olympians, especially in the past, have competed in events that were almost entirely outlandish to them, just so their country could have a representative in said event.
A certain bobsled team from Jamaica comes to mind. And if you look closely at the times of some of Mark Spitz' competitors, you can tell they had very little ability.
Of course, these people were often ridiculed by the unsportsmanlike gits of the world. ------------------------------------------- "Sarcasm and irony are not to be used by the uninitiated."

Well TBH I agree with Molle (WTF?). I myself am guilty of showing no respect for my enemies in this game, and I won't ever show them any. They were made enemies by showing lack of respect for anyone or anything. Both BoB and ASCN respect very little in a sense. They both (prior to the war) thought or think they can do anything they want. That isn't respect, that is ignorance.
