Kudos to you allGǪ

No one suggests you need to take "150 mil in equipment" nor go to "the middle of nullsec" to "get popped". Derp indeed.

There's a lot to what you are writing.

Starting around the early 1990s, there was a movement in parenting that was all about letting your kids know how special and wonderful and smart they are, in spite of any evidence to the contrary.

We are now seeing the "fruits" of that labor, in game and out. A lot of people are so thinking they are so great at everything and living in a little bubble of their own perception when in fact, they suck as people and suck at what they do. I have to deal with these zombies every day. These are the people who tell you their name and expect you to jump for joy.

And these are the people with a dangerous sense of entitlement. I hope those that play this game learn to shed it before some RL situation comes up where their overblown sense of self could get them killed.

interesting account with a happy ending

I've actually seen one of those self entitled brats mouth off to the wrong person and get his head blown off. It was quite horrific while at the same time frighteningly satisfying.

You do realize that one of the posts you just quoted and +1'd was talking in favor of our actions?

Are you f'ing retarded?

This is why we have such a great game here. Everybody expects to be the big hero who, just because they are heroic, can beat all odds, no matter what the odds - just like TV.

And then they play EvE and hit their first gate camp.....

Such things are what motivates me in this mom takedown project. Everybody (well, almost) thinks they are special and entitled. Nobody is entitled to jack squat in this world. Just because they wanted to let the mom lager in place and rack up ISK, they think that is to be automatically respected and then howl and complain when someone says "hey, let's see if we can kill that target".

This is great game that uses interweb spaceships and teaches reality of conflict and consequences at the same time. The ships are fake, the factors are real. Sometimes I wonder if, deep below CCP headquarters, there is a team of scientists studying the whole thing.

(and they could conclude that the "you're so special" movement is a complete failure at this point IF the existence of 20 y/o "men" who never had a drivers license, a job, and a date, is not failure enough).


We are the motherf**kers.

Interesting story about how I beat kids

Sin Istersly & Herzog WolfhammerGǪ
Post #514 & 515...
go back and look em up... its worth the effort.

Kudos! Beautiful manGǪ just effin beautiful. My daughter and I have talked about how punishments, whether a talking to or a spanking, help her learn that doing bad things is wrong and can hurt you... but I love her and I am teaching her.. not abusing.

She told me she knows there is a difference...

KrissdaGÇÖs gonna have a COW when she reads those 2 posts!! \o/

Also Simi, I never said I beat kids. (I DID say 'beat there ass' and 'beating' as terms, but your taking the literal sense, not the intended meaning, which I think I made fairly clear.) I said I spank them. Their is a HUGE difference between spanking and punishing your children, and your drunk father whooping your butt nightly because your the only thing he's capable of picking on. I do not condone beating. I condone reasonable punishment and karma. You can either let your kid do wtf ever he wants until someone bigger who doesnt like to be mouthed off teaches him for you, or you can teach them early on that being a dousche in life has painful, sometimes very painful consequences. Dont let your kids first life lesson also be his last. I love my kids, I dont want them to mouth off to some guy with a gun someday and get shot in the face. If I'm a bad guy in your eyes for that, so be it. Your opinion is noted.

In the end, I'm wouldnt be surprised if the world tears itself apart with all the whiney brats and babies slaughtering each other over who had that parking spot first, and who cut off who. Meanwhile, we sensible people will sit back, laugh, have a few drinks, maybe even smoke a bowl, and wonder how long it will take before we're rid of all these morons, and whether or not we'll have to step in to finish off the last of them. Cheers.

I know, I was joking

Although to be honest I think those oddly delusional "I'm a special snowflake" children don't come about purely as a result of a lack of physical punishment. Just as common is neglect, or a failure to identify between good attention and bad attention. E.g. not paying attention to your child unless he is bad can lead to him always being bad, even if the way in you which you pay attention is by punishing him.

Anyway, putting aside the complexities of child psychology, there is a lot to be said in favor of punching some children in the face.

Another Mum down.

Armor Drake is still alive.

HAIL LORD XENU!

Wow, somebody actually got it right!

We do not want Incursions removed, we do not want to permanently stop high sec carebears from playing the game either.

What we want is that highsec incursions gets balanced, in regards to both Risk vs Reward and raw ISK injection to the game.

Reduce the amount of raw ISK that are being given per side and boost the LP somewhat to make up for it. Furthermore, whenever the Mothership do spawn, rest of the sites should stop spawning, forcing the community to actually kill the Mothership and end the incursion, as it was intended from the beginning.

If you want raw isk balanced, then tech moons (at a minimum) need to be nerfed.
Something along the lines of minerals depleting, or requiring exploration to find new sources. After all, t64 moon minerals are supposed to be rare.
Maybe even having them turn up in gas clouds....

Then there's the wormhole problem. Arguably the biggest isk faucet in game right now. It needs balancing, but to what extent, and how to nerf it for better balance?

No, because moons do not spew out raw ISK, they throw out materials that people people have to buy.

Same goes for wormholes, it does not generate actual ISK, it generates materials that other people have to buy.

On top of that, wormhole sites are not infinite, you cannot farm sites endlessly in your wormhole.

No incursions for you this weekend
