You don't really get Eve do you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

A computer simulation (or "sim") is an attempt to model a real-life or hypothetical situation on a computer

And you don't get what it is to live in a world full of truely aggresive assholes.

And no I'm not talking about EVE, I'm talking about my life, when you have to deal with people on a daily bases that might well threaten you physically, you get to be a quick study of human nature, because if I get my assesment wrong there will be consequences.

You try to live this reality out in a computer game fantasy, and make yourelves the worst kind of assholes (the one who would end up brocken or dead in my RL), Frankly I feel sorry for you, run back of to your parents basements, unlearn what you have taught yourselves ingame because if it should bleed through into your RL there may be more consequences than losing some pixels on a screen.

Your laughable and why I call you weak is because you haven't the testicular fortitude to act with honour or humanity, you are the childish dupes of immaturity and peer pressure.

But whats the point in me telling you all this because in your heart of hearts you alrerady understand it but you choose to ignore it, why should your reaction be any diffrent when someone points it out to you.

the one who would end up brocken

Fixed.

According to the very broad definition you're trying to assign to "simulation" here, Super Mario Brothers is a shroom-eating plumber simulation. As such, the word ceases to have any meaning, and might as well simply be synonymous with "game."

Back in the 1960s, "game = simulation" would have been very accurate. Now that it's 2012 and computer games are a major entertainment medium, the word "simulation" has a more specific contextual meaning.

I'm not trying to assign anything thats what wiki says take it up with them

A forum (Latin, "place outdoors"; pl. fora) was a public square in a Roman municipium, or any civitas, reserved primarily for the vending of goods; i.e., a marketplace, along with the buildings used for shops and the stoas used for open stalls. Many fora were constructed at remote locations along a road by the magistrate responsible for the road, in which case the forum was the only settlement at the site and had its own name, such as Forum Popili or Forum Livi.[1]

Well at least your not obtuse enough to contest it isn't a simulation

The Professor wins

Is Eve an honour simulator?

Yeah, I just fixed your comment without making one of my own.

My response to the insane idea that EvE is a simulation game (X-Plane is an *AMAZING* simulator, as is it's sister project Space Combat) is later on that page, but I'll restate it here.

EvE is a PvP focused Massively Multiplayer Online Sandbox. A MMOS, if you will.

The FIS part bears a passing resemblance to a Submarine Warfare simulator if you take some (giant) leaps (for mankind). For instance, good simulators don't act in 1 second long ticks, don't just "Assume the ship's a ball," for convenience, and generally have a better steering interface than click in space, or set the Cruise control, or Approach/Orbit/Keep at Range. They tend not to have your ship randomly stop and turn around when you do something to change it's speed, or may other reasons why EvE would be a bad simulator if it were trying to be one.

The WIS part is actually a really good simulation of a Prison Cell, but still manages to fail in that you have a view and can talk freely with the outside world.

EvE is a pretty good Economics simulator. For a largely post-scarcity world whose Economic participants have no base needs to be met(ever have to pay an ISK for a burger, or normal ship fuel?), so not a great simulator of any real world economy.

Nullsec is adecent political simulator. But that's mostly the players. From what I hear, the Chinese server's nullsec is a bit more stagnant then ours.

So it isn't a space simulation after all it's a submarine, economic and political simulator set in space, my bad

So it isn't a space simulation after all

Pedantic word play is pedantic word play

You're giving me shit for taking your words out of context in the exact same way you took mine?

Strawmen aren't so much fun when they punch back, are they?

Pedantic word play is pedantic word play

Says the guy insisting the game is a simulator.

I'm not insisting, I merely giving my opinion

look at this guy backpedaling
