...what can I say - when I started playing the game called Eve, I was impressed by the relative (relative) maturity of the players, as compared to the maturity of other MMO players.
These days, however, all I seem to see is "neener neener nyoo" posts on the forums. Shame on you all. Hands up all of you who are in the first player corp you ever joined....Hands up all of you who have never ended up killing people you used to gang with.....its really just a game people.....I just get bewildered by the throbbing antagonism that seems to be so rife on these forums. (fora?).
Anyway, as you were, maybe it prevents you all going out and becoming serial killers - if so - well, that's a good thing. Just try not to take this whole thing too seriously - life is much too short.

I was stunned and shocked when I went to flip on the light switch, and I had been walking around with socks on over carpet during an electrical storm. My finger hurt for 2 days!!
And BoBs lack of humor when trying to be funny naming stations. Who the heck dreampt up that name in 9-9. " The 99 words for things GOons cant do " or something like that? Shockingly unfunny.

*month from now*

For the record: 1) Never shot at someone i used to fly with (baring thieves and the like) 2) Am in second ever player corp but still keep in touch with old one and will forever be fond of them... left on good terms because I didn't like living in the south and missed the north when they moved out of it (best move for the corp wasn't best move for me ect...).
But how does this show my maturity?
A mature individual can still have situation where they have to whats best for them to keep the game fun even if it means leaving old friends, its a game and if its more fun for a player to do X why shouldn't they?
Should they screw their new friend for their old friends?
Can you really say that if a player you'd used to fly with was on the other side of a fleet fight you would possible screw your side by refusing to shoot at them if your FC called them primary?
Have your never talked to red and realized they were a fun guy and that you'd prob really like to fly with them and then still had fun beating the **** out of them?
Its just happenstance who your m8's are and if they leave or you leave why shouldn't you shoot each other if global politics dictate you must (this isn't to say i'd ever just go out hunting my x-corpmates that'd just be a **** move)... I imagine most of my old corp would sit down and talk about the fight and setups with me if that where to happen no hard feelings and what not.
Oh and really its a game... I'd shoot my own mother if she was part of an alliance red to mine and we'd laugh about it later cause its all for fun and no real harm is done. ------- Even my barge has kills... |

there can never be enough targets. Friends or ex-corp mates are those that you can count on for a good fight, you dont smack them you say GF afterwards (and you call your mate primary :P).
Not shooting your ex corpmates friends nephew because you like them doesnt really float my boat ---

...and that's precisely my point....you realise that the person you are shooting at is a perfectly decent human being, who, under different circumstances you would be flying alongside....what alarms me is the entrenched values I see sometimes on CAOD - where a tag is enough to condemn someone or make their opinion invalid.
I just think that sometimes people take their alliance ticker too seriously - and start calling up all sorts of xenophobic rubbish to justify their stance.
Anyway - I've posted much too much tonight - so these will be my last two words on the subject - rancid underpants

What is the deal with Eve players thinking they are better than other MMO players? They somehow think they're smarter, more mature and more successful. It's obnoxious. You're playing a game. S**t-talk is part of gaming. If you can't handle an in game rivalry with s**t-talk then get off the internet because you're an oversensitive crybaby.

well there was a time when enemies actually had a discussion on the forums and posts of more then 1 line in reply were in common. In this time some ppl roleplayed actual "pilots" with certain special habits like jade, j0sephine, Xirtam and weirda and even Molle as the evil dictator. Nowadays you only get "fofofo" spam and silly oneliners and the boards contain no real information anymore.
A few exceptions made (actually BE and Shin Ra are top notch) uve no real characters left anymore. The discussions of nez perez, digi and the likes, albeit sometimes filled with bitter hatred, but nevertheless well educated and witty get drowned in altspam, idiotposts and simple spam. Combined with an attitude of "we dont care about the game, the lore, the atmosphere. We are only in for giggles and a dramabombs to stroke our epeens". Even the holiest of all rules "never damage the company whos game u play" is broken regularly and smearcampaigns and threadnoughts dictate the "new eve".
The maturity has severly decreased -in general- tho i can say certain parties had their hands in it more then others. For those who dont care it will prolly be water in the mills, but i miss the "more serious" eve. In which reputation, ehonor and playing good or bad (nevertheless playing a character) had a meaning above "hahahah fofofofo new ship hahahhaha".
But as ive seen in the FLA thread and in hardins threads. There is still atleast a modest core of ppl who play and see the game in the same way and enjoy the same values. Characters like Ginger Magician, Stavros, Zap, Ragnar, Jade and even Xirtam can never be replaced by some youngsters enjoying "lawless internet" and acting like jackasses. Atleast in my opinion about this wonderfull game. Hence ure right Coad changed, not for the better in my view of things.
P.S. im not saying in the days of old there wasnt spam, or that there wasnt argueing. But the Coad had more temper, more emotions and more atmosphere.

Shocked and stunned this happened since most of the digic and nez essays were about making portions of the community look inept and stupid and little just because they weren't in the old boys club. Absolutely stunning that caod should change with the times, shocking even!
