Tsanse Kinske WeMeanYouKnowHarm	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:04:00 - [61] He may be in his grave, but Douglas Adams approves of this thread. * * * 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
Evil Sulu Sanguine Legion	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:06:00 - [62] Napht 4tw tbh. -------------
Naphtalia Caldari The Black Rabbits Fatal Persuasion	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:07:00 - [63] Originally by: Lena Crews So if I send an evemail calling her a dipsick will my 1-man corp get wardec'd? That would give Naph principles and make her predictable? I am not gonna discuss future IC decisions of my character on an OOC forum sorry.. and Naph has already received a few evemails from 1man corps calling her a dipstick :P... recruitment
Lena Crews Minmatar Universal Sanitation Corporation	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:07:00 - [64] Originally by: Tsanse Kinske He may be in his grave, but Douglas Adams approves of this thread. I think Naphtalia and the Black Rabbits are a big load of Belgium too.

Well I hope she's predictable (at least in some sort of internal way that you understand). Role playing is all about carrying out actions based upon what the character would do. If you can't come up with a set group of predictable behaviors that is the role you are carrying out, you aren't really role playing. You're just being a bit of a jerk and justifying it by saying you're role playing. Sort of like those who play dungeons and dragons and make all of their characters chaotic neutral because "that means I can do anything". Kind of a dipstick thing to do.

You... you... you.... Belgium!
Almarez	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:16:00 - [68] Well the 50 mil isn't the issue, the issue I see here is two fold. One, people getting all worked up over a name as trivial as "dipstick", and two, people forgetting that, contrary to popular belief, this is a GAME.

Role playing is all about carrying out actions based upon what the character would do. If you can't come up with a set group of predictable behaviors that is the role you are carrying out, you aren't really role playing. If the character is unpredictable then you would be roleplaying. If unpredicatable people exist in rl, why should they not exist in an rp setting? Of course, the goals of the Guristas are central to our own goals, but that doesn't mean we're going to toe the line or be entirely stable. Anyway, I'm even less prepared to discuss Naph's character than he is. Not my place. _____________________________________________
ChowBoi Caldari Concealed Judgement	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:21:00 - [70] Whoa, wait... Napht is a Guy? What about Verone?

Anyway, I'm even less prepared to discuss Naph's character than he is. Not my place. An unpredictable person is only unpredictable to other people. Their actions make sense to themselves. It takes a truly mentally unstable person to not beleive their actions are logical responses to their environment. Your PC might choose to attack my ship because it looks like I've got some good loot... or your PC might hate all Rifters due to a bad experience in their childhood.... or your PC might just like pretty explosions... or you might not like it because my ship is named the SS Belgium. Regardless internally the character would have to have some sort of internal reasoning behind their actions or be extremely mentally unbalanced. In fact most wildly insane people are pretty logical in their actions... the logic is just based on very odd starting points. I don't care what anyone's character has for motivations or reasoning for RP... but saying you're role playing a brittle character as an excuse for a silly overreaction to being called a word that may not even have any relevance in the RP world of Eve does strike me as false. It sounds a LOT more like the player behind the character got upset at being called a name, and is just using character as an excuse... "because my character is unpredictable, so could do anything!"

One, people getting all worked up over a name as trivial as "dipstick", and two, people forgetting that, contrary to popular belief, this is a GAME. People didn't all get worked up, a Caldari Deteis woman all got worked up. See..!!! shocking recruitment
Ridley Tree The Black Rabbits Fatal Persuasion	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:31:00 - [73] Sits down in the stations bar, taking a long swig of his ale. Looking at the shoddy customer next to him, "hey, call me a dipstick" "You're a dipstick" "Wardec *****" I love ya Naph. ---
Commander Carling	Posted - 2007.02.14 03:45:00 - [74] Originally by: Naphtalia Originally by: Lena Crews So your RP persona is that of an oversensitive dipstick? Interesting... I would have gone for something a bit more intimidating myself. Naphtalia is sensitive, has a short temper, a gurista that kills stuff for is, she is also human and caldari.. Anyways, If you want to get to know her better send her an evemail. I think concordmails are quite intimidating.. Naphtalia if your char is RP how does it then know what a dipstick is, when cars have been long gone for millions of years, I don't think I have seen anything in eve that would remotely fit the description of a car and definitely nothing that would have a dipstick in it. Continues to ponder the idea

Continues to ponder the idea A dipstick is any device used to measure fluids inside a non transparent container. I've got a feeling such a simple and easy to use tool would still be in wide use in anything from planetary vehicles to space ships. ---

DirtyHarry Caldari Forsaken Empire The Forsaken Empire	Posted - 2007.02.14 04:45:00 - [77] Scrubs attack your indy, you smack scrubs, scrubs cry and declare war, get out of indy and kill scrubs. Problem solved. Havocide - DirtyHarryF-E Homepage F-E Killboard
ScreamingLord Sutch Hand in Mouth	Posted - 2007.02.14 04:48:00 - [78] Points gleaned from this thread 1) Watch who you shoot your mouth off too, EvE has consequences 2) The guys deccing you are outlaws, go sit in highsec? 3) Whatshisface is a dipstick!
Tiuwaz Minmatar The Nest Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.02.14 04:53:00 - [79] Originally by: ChowBoi Whoa, wait... Napht is a Guy? What about Verone? why you asking? do you have any objections to manlove? <3 naph you still produce some of the best convoes i have seen ___________________________________

Continues to ponder the idea Dipsticks are used in more then just cars, I suggest you look up, for example, planetary vehicles. ---- Be careful you have just entered Terrorbear stomping grounds....
Shayla Sh'inlux Gallente	Posted - 2007.02.14 07:59:00 - [81] Originally by: Crumplecorn Originally by: ChowBoi Originally by: Naphtalia Originally by: ChowBoi Heh, hey yeah, I respected and admired the dipstick that was in my mustang. It never failed as a thin metal rod used to measure the oil level in the crankcase of an automotive engine. So now you admire Naph becuase you want to dip her in the oil of your mustangs crankcase? :P Fight this war in eve please.. not on the forum... Now don't get like that. A dipstick is a measuring tool. Its just a tool, its evil or good is determined by the actions of the one that wields it. Kind of like the Triforce in Zelda, only not quite as potent. This made my day. Thanks for that. Originally by: "Cy4n1d3" You can't PVP with 4 mids.
Helox Gallente Demonic Retribution Pure.	Posted - 2007.02.14 08:15:00 - [82] But Naphtalia... You are a dipstick Hi btw! -- the above is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of the little voices in my head
hotgirl933	Posted - 2007.02.14 08:26:00 - [83] do we have any alternative descriptions like lemmings
BaldyBob Minmatar PhaseShifter Technologies	Posted - 2007.02.14 08:57:00 - [84] Congratulation to all parties involved, we don't see enough RP in Eve and it's so refreshing to see. Carry on the good work Naph and Chow
Dark Avatar Caldari Firing Squad	Posted - 2007.02.14 08:59:00 - [85] Slinky, Pay. - Trust me on this one. - Oh, and I think as is the law of war decs, interest is added on a daily basis. If you dont your only alternative is to disband your corp and let your members go do their own thing. Least you have a large stock of holoreels in station D.A For you, the day the Wolves rolled into your system and killed your ace pilots was a most memorable day. For us, it was Tuesday...
El'Niaga Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.02.14 09:01:00 - [86] Originally by: Aeryn Davenport I think this highlights the need to increase the cost of declaring war. 50 million is a joke for anyone who has played the game for a decent amount of time. It should be like 500 million, minimum. So, did they retract the war after the apology? Or are they waiting to get paid back? I agree :)

Everyone knows our minmatar ships run on oil and they are only kept in one piece because of the fervent belief of the pilot that they aren't just a heap of salvage parts. So a dipstick is definitely a useful tool. That said, I have nothing but respect for my dipstick. Oops! Gotta go, the duct tape is ripping in my turret bay!
DJ LOUD	Posted - 2007.02.14 09:23:00 - [88] Originally by: ScreamingLord Sutch 2) The guys deccing you are outlaws, go sit in highsec? Someone needs to keep up. Veto are pretty much all above -2 after they turned merc DJ

So now you admire Naph becuase you want to dip her in the oil of your mustangs crankcase? :P Fight this war in eve please.. not on the forum... smiles lightly and nibbles on her lower lip before she whispers all inocently Well actually i would not dip her into Oil, i rather tie her up on the bed, slowly cover her with nice warm chocolate before nibbling and licking it away. Slowly tracing her soft curves with your tongue while you can hear the mean little bunny gasp and squirm helplessly. Yes, revenge can be bitter sweet, cant it ? And if you finnaly reache her lip¦s, gently offering her a cherry you hold between your lip¦s she will promise you evrything,including not shooting you again, just to make you stay.
Peacock McNuggets Guns 'N' Hoses	Posted - 2007.02.14 11:06:00 - [90] Originally by: SN3263827 We've declared war over less. Really?!? Damn that really would be an acheivement. Now I have no issue whatsoever with random war decs. But war deccing for something less than the mildest possible insult is the hard bit. /me Salutes such dedication to intolerance. Feel free to wardec GnH anytime.
