Ascrethy Gallente CRICE Corporation Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2007.03.04 20:30:00 - [61] Originally by: Exelon Bei EDIT: BTW. Has the CIHYS ever worked? Yes :) Prime time is just after you gank someone and they whinge in local about quitting As I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I did fear no evil, as I carried a big stick, and was the meanest mofo in the valley

They're busy chasing a family of martens in the server room. Quick, let's establish an utopian forum society while they're not looking. -

Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.03.04 20:34:00 - [67] If somebody says he quits because he started to dislike something in EVE too much, or just threatens to quit EVE because some random injustice or anything like that... well, the "Can I have your stuff" line is probably the most appropriate response if you feel his problem does not warrant a quit threat, or simply don't believe he will quit at all. It's also a pretty valid response if he says something to the extent of "I have to quit because I can't play anymore and I have no friends in-game so no clue who to give my stuff to" (like that's ever the case, but who knows). Of course, it CAN be used as a joke, especially if you agree with above poster or, well, know him personally and never even think he'd want to quit. In the correct circumstances, it can even be somewhat funny. But honestly, not that often. But when a player voices an actual concern, and doesn't threaten to quit because of that but simply asks for a solution soon... then a "CIHYS" (and not much else) is just pure trolling and should be deleted/moved/warned/whatever. _ MySkills \| Module/Rig stacknerfing explained

Loyal Servant Caldari The Short Bus Squad The SUdden Death Squad	Posted - 2007.03.04 20:36:00 - [69] Originally by: Ascrethy Originally by: Exelon Bei EDIT: BTW. Has the CIHYS ever worked? Yes :) Prime time is just after you gank someone and they whinge in local about quitting I have not had that happen, but EVE being a mostly PVP game instead of flaming them, educate them. (Not saying you flamed anyone) I have had newer players tell me that they simply cannot compete with me and call me a griefer. I kindly inform them that they are more than welcome to send in a petition if they feel this way, and that I am sorry they feel this way, and good luck in playing EVE.

Nero Scuro Caldari Jejaikaro Corporation	Posted - 2007.03.04 20:36:00 - [70] It's a way of mocking someone who's quitting, basically reducing their departure to an opportunity for free stuff - basically saying that they're so unimportant and their leaving so uneventful that their 'stuff' is more important to preserve ingame than they are. Also, sometimes you get some free junk out of it. Win win. ___ Nice one CCP

Topaz Skydiver Minmatar Narrative Freshfood	Posted - 2007.03.04 20:41:00 - [73] The first time I read 'Can I have your stuff ?' on EVE-O boards I misinterpreted it. I interpreted it as in: 'Wtf are you smoking ? Can I have your stuff ?' Perhaps because those posts ar often weird. Took some weeks, until I got that right.

Steele Storm Dark Zan	Posted - 2007.03.04 20:45:00 - [75] "Can I have your stuff" has been around for a long time through various online gaming venues. No, its not origional, however it does sum up the general response to the, "Fix 'buggeditem_no1" or I'm leaving! /wrists" posts. While I have never personally used that phrase, IMO it can essentially be translated into: "Guess what "whiner_no8635," Your childish 'threats and demands' on a game forum mean less than jack to us, so if all you have to contribute to the community is whining and complaining don't let the door hit you on the way out." Take two title threads for example: 1. "That's IT, its a Slap in the FACE CCP! I QUIT!!" 2. "Has anyone else been experiencing this REALLY irritating issue?" With those two examples you can almost visualize what the content and replies are going to be. So if someone really wants to try and be heard about an issue/bug, leave the threats and hostility out of it. While I do believe the "Can I have your stuff" is far from origional, I doub't it's going anywhere because it really does sum up the entirety of the communities emotions when someone attempts to make threats to get their own way.

Falk	Posted - 2007.03.04 21:12:00 - [77] Originally by: Elentari Edited by: Elentari on 04/03/2007 20:10:27 Not a big deal, really... when somebody makes a whining thread and threatens to leave EVE, they should expect those replies. True and many of those posting " I Quit" threads do it for the attention they get from them, and no intentions of actually quitting, thats just as bad imo.
Typhoid Mary Finite Horizon	Posted - 2007.03.04 21:15:00 - [78] Well CCP clearly thought it was funny too.. https://store.eve-online.com/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=85 Get over it.

Why is it done? because We Don't Care But if you don't care......then why post at all?

Visionsz Caldari S.Y.N.D.R.O.M.E.	Posted - 2007.03.04 21:22:00 - [86] Originally by: Stitcher Originally by: ikillmacrominers I don't get this at all... Some poor player posts his frustrations and his thread gets inundated with 'Can I have your stuff?' responses. I know I am about to teeter on the edge of the rules here... Is this not trolling? I see these posts as exactly that, they are an attempt to toss sarcasm and flame into a thread, why do the mods not moderate these posts out? Yes, it's trolling. Why is it done? because We Don't Care Why the hell should we give a flying wossname if somebody's decided to quit the game. His/her decision not to continue to play EVE has no effect whatsoever on the rest of us, and the fact that they've come on the forums for the sole purpose of ****ing and moaning about a game most of us really love, and is furthermore egomaniacal enough to assume that we care what they do with their life is, frankly, irritating in the extreme. So "can I have your stuff" is a good way of knocking people down a peg. it says "We don't care that you're quitting. We never even knew that you existed before now, and now you're leaving? WHO CARES?! I sure as hell don't! You can go play WoW, I really don't care, your absence from the game in no way damages my own game experience, and might even benefit me! Furthermore, I really* didn't need to hear YET ANOTHER voice trying to tell me that the game I love and play more than any other is crap. So go ahead and quit man, and while you're at it, wire me your isk and contract the rest of your stuff to me! I'll see it's put to good use. You go have a nice life. *JUST GO AWAY AND STOP TRYING TO RUIN MY ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME IN THE PROCESS!*" ... yeah, "can I have your stuff?" kind of condenses that entire rant down into five little monosyllables. nice and easy. So to summarise, if someone threatens to leave that doesn't effect the rest of us? I do believe lag effects all of us. You get the point? Each circumstance is different.
