So, last week, I broke my leg in three places. Unstable ankle fracture, with it, which means that I can't walk until about March at the earliest.

Add to that, I lost nearly a week of skill training, because I was in hospital and didn't have access to the Internet via a computer, only my phone, so I couldn't change my skill queue. Tragic, that.

Anyway, I'm stuck on a couch for the next three months, and I'm approaching boredom already.

I request: Link your favourite EVE threads, posts, discussions, and related material! An archivey thread would be handy anyway, and this way, you can also take pity on a poor girl whose foot is now medically bolted on to her leg bones to keep it from falling off.

Thinking of you breaking your leg was actaully a good eve moment, suppose you can relive that happening in your boredom.

You know, there's a line between the in-game culture of rejoicing in the misfortune of others, and just being a bad person. The line is not fine. Way to ramp straight over it.

If I had been seeking diversion for losing a multi-billion isk ship, then smirking at that would be fine - even if I had lost it as a result of impaired faculties due to the fact that I currently pop OxyContin like they're M&Ms. That's in-game, so it's fair game.

But acting pleased that I, a living, feeling human being, have been seriously injured? That's messed up. If it brings you pleasure that I, a person, who has done you no personal wrong at all, have been in great pain, that my bones were broken, that I spent a week in hospital, that I needed surgery so that chunks of metal could be drilled into my bones to provide even a shred of hope that I might ever walk again, that, outside of the game, unrelated at all to EVE, I have been hurt...

... there's something deeply, drastically, unpleasantly wrong with you.

Cmon, it's a broken leg, it's not like you lost them...

But strangely, this doesn't change the fact that Rodyas is a very sick person. Getting pleasure out of the pain of others is an early warning sign, and even though I'm sure he was just seeking attention and didn't really mean it, he needs help.

People need to be less serious about this kind of stuff. I mean, laughing at the death of her mother would have been a shameful thing to do, but on a thing so little as a broken leg ? Bring the jokes I say.

*snip*

Sounds a little more complex than a snapped bone, reconstructive bone surgery is nothing to laugh at I can tell you from bitter experience.

I lost my 2 legs and we make jokes about it at work.

What you say ?

Joking with friends =/= dickhead on interwebs being dickhead.

In other news:

You're full of ****.

Sorry to hear that, glad you've come to a place where you can do that.

We all have our problems and upseting someone through thoughless and callous words can happen anytime in any situation, especially when something is still so raw, I would possibly expect you to understand that given what you have just told me.

I suggest expert crossword puzzles in pen.

I meet people like this out of the EVE forums all the time, trust me, they wouldn't dare to say any of this crap RL if they knew you could punch them in the face.

Forget EVE, welcome to the cowardly and pathetic side of humanity, hope the leg recovers.

welcome to the unpleasant side of EVE forums...

Because hitting someone for something they say is a lot better. ;D Good job demonstrating that all important maturity and restraint.

you can also take pity on a poor girl whose foot is now medically bolted on to her leg bones to keep it from falling off.
