MassonA Caldari coracao ardente Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:35:00 - [31] nothing wrong with it
Phil Miller Ocean Dynamics Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:38:00 - [32] Topic filled with gun obsessed idiots.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:38:00 - [33] Originally by: Death Kill Edited by: Death Kill on 29/08/2007 10:16:54 EVE is a mature game. If a person have issues with it, then hello kitty is the otherway. edit : To any concerned kids...dont worry he had an up to date clone and is alive and well in Jita. You wish. No pod = no clone, I'm afraid. Sorry kiddies, but he's as dead as dead s Old Yeller... --------
MITSUK0	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:40:00 - [34] Oh please There is nothing tasteless about it, in fact it is adding a whole load of flavour to the eve world, a dark future/sci-fi world where people die and other people kill them. Do you find the screaming noise when you biomass a character equally tasteless?
Xantia Gedur House of Gedur	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:41:00 - [35] Originally by: Death Kill EVE is a mature game. It's actually teen rated, like the forums. I too thought it was a bit much but I suppose it could have been worse if they showed the exit wound and bullet coming out of his forehead.
Lord Evangelian Gallente LEAP Corp United Confederation of Corporations	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:41:00 - [36] Originally by: Pan Crastus Originally by: 000Hunter000 meh we have clones, having ur brains splattered all over a station is nothing. The clones in EVE require you to be inside a Pod, so that your brain's contents are copied right before you die. ;-) NO NO NO READ "PARADIGM SHIFT" EON #007 His not in a pod... ------------------------------------------
An Anarchyyt Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:42:00 - [37] Look at the picture of the Jovian Beam ripping apart the Armageddon at the Battle of Vak'Atioth, just imagine how many people died. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
Laah T'Sin	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:43:00 - [38] Originally by: Radioactive Babe I was quite surprised to see http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/0708/eve-boom-headshot.JPG on the front page of the eve-o website. I would have thought that even in cartoons that this kind of imagery would be considered over the top. Or maybe thats just me and all the bf1942/hl2 people who play this game will tell me that I suck for not liking it Maybe you should read the Chronicle "Methods of Torture: Gallente" if you think that harmless picture is over the top. Compared to some of the crazy (but entertaining) things in the Chronicles I doubt that picture will do any more damage to our souls. I like EVE exactly because it's dirty and dark and thats very well portrayed in the Chronicles.

I would have thought that even in cartoons that this kind of imagery would be considered over the top. When is the last time you watched "tom and jerry"?? Or is that to mean too, since i actually think (nowadays) that you see far worse things in the evening news on the TV. Originally by: Radioactive Babe Or maybe thats just me and all the bf1942/hl2 people who play this game will tell me that I suck for not liking it Not that i play BF or HL, so can't answer on their behalf, but i think that you're being a tad immature on this. As mentioned above, there's no splattering so where's the offense? Only thing i whould complaint on is the fact that the artist behind it didn't sign his/hers work, as i'd like something like that for a signature (hint-to-the-artist-hereby-given). <>-------------------------------------<> I think it's little to ask, that every Gallente roll over and die, that i may live in my version of a perfect world of eternal Caldarian governance.

Avery Fatwallet	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:51:00 - [41] i dont like the doublestandards. putting stories like the gallentean methods of torture and cencoring things as F uck ... thats just not right. be teenrated, or dont. but thats doublestandards. and btw,i found the story (as far as i read it, i was busy) behind the headshot pic not too bad.
Laura Steel Minmatar Independent Interspace Industiers Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.08.29 11:53:00 - [42] Every time I see my cats rip apart a bird there is more gore than in all of eve-o so lol! ---- Darn exclamation mark! I have brown hair, green eyes and a nice tan :)

If you look carefully enough, you will see blood/brains/gore under the right blue boarder. That. Or I see what I want to see.
RaWBLooD	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:01:00 - [44] Edited by: RaWBLooD on 29/08/2007 12:04:30 Originally by: Sicil Fioet there's a difference between mature and sick - at least for my taste the front page glimpses pictures and stories prominently featuring aggression, violence, torture, dismemberment, death, etc. far too often ... i mean you kind of start to wonder, what is this game for people with sadistic personality disorder and necrophiliacs? Who are you? Just because at least 50% of eve are carebears and most of those don't pvp unless they have to doesn't mean that EVE is meant to be some sort of utopia. If you take a look at the facts the grim reality will be just as bad if not worse if we ever get out into space. And here we are playing a game that has all its non-pvp facets fueled by pvp. Then come the carebears with their stares and attack anything remotely violent. I suppose you would have more stories with nothing in them but love and romance. There are some of those in the chronicles. If I don't fancy one I won't read it a second time. If you do not find appeal in the pictures then do not look at them and do not tell everyone else what needs to be censored, thank you. You must live a sheltered life because people get shot every day all over the city and this here is just a story for a fictional universe. miners-you can: switch, rob, wardec, nerf, scam them, buy below market, pirate them on their way to sell. mining < trading, ratting, manufacturing from market bought minerals,they still wont go away
RaWBLooD	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:04:00 - [45] Edited by: RaWBLooD on 29/08/2007 12:04:20 Originally by: An Anarchyyt Look at the picture of the Jovian Beam ripping apart the Armageddon at the Battle of Vak'Atioth, just imagine how many people died. The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic. -Joseph Stalin miners-you can: switch, rob, wardec, nerf, scam them, buy below market, pirate them on their way to sell. mining < trading, ratting, manufacturing from market bought minerals,they still wont go away
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:07:00 - [46] Edited by: Patch86 on 29/08/2007 12:10:04 Originally by: Lord Evangelian Originally by: Pan Crastus Originally by: 000Hunter000 meh we have clones, having ur brains splattered all over a station is nothing. The clones in EVE require you to be inside a Pod, so that your brain's contents are copied right before you die. ;-) NO NO NO READ "PARADIGM SHIFT" EON #007 His not in a pod... I do not read EON, but this website's articles tell us thus. I'm not entirely convinced that EON (published by a third party unrelated to CCP) is entirely canonical, seeing as a number of their stories seem to contradict the prime fiction. It could be that they're the "new canon", and the information on the website has to be retconned, or that technology has marched on considerably (and no-one has thought to tell us mere pod pilots) but until I see someone telling me as such, I don't believe it. As far as I'm concerned, this website is the primary source of fiction, and that it takes priority where it conflicts with other sources. EDIT: And incidentally, one of the main reasons (I'm led to believe) that they bothered to include the stuff about cloning being extremely dangerous and unpopular for non pod pilots is to solve the problem of having a universe where everyone is immortal. Thanks to that reasoning, only the minuscule number of elite citizens (just 200k out of several hundred billion) have "immortality", while the rules of death still apply to everyone else. Changing that is no small step for the fiction to take. --------
RaWBLooD	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:13:00 - [47] She was wondering exactly what to do when the calm, well-dressed man walked past her and up to the inspector, pulled out a gun, pointed it at the inspector's head and blew his brains out all over the floor.

Radioactive Babe Red Frost	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:19:00 - [48] Not just me bored at work then. Who would have thought a quite simple statement about my personal feelings on a picture would have brought out the vehemence and downright stupidity vomited onto this thread by some of the whorums. Let me say it again in a slightly different way -> I personally find fictional or real pictures of people getting shot in the head to be distasteful (at best). That does not make me a carebear/blind/communist/elephant (delete as applicable). So you disagree? great, make a post without the personal attacks. Alas, poor risk vs reward, I knew you well
Asestorian Minmatar Domination.	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:21:00 - [49] Well, I did read that story. I don't remember exactly what happened, but what I do know is that, at least now, all stories submitted to EON to go through CCP for checking at some point. Anyway. Personally I see nothing wrong with that picture. The chronicles and art of EVE are there to show us just what kind of world it is. And CCP wish it to be dark, cruel and violent. This means that they have to write and draw in ways that bring this vision to life, or it's pointless. You are not forced to read the stories, or look at the artwork for them. But they should not be censored. Anyone who is old enough to be playing this game should be aware that they have a choice when it comes to what they read and look at. You need to use that choice to not view the image, and you need to leave the choice open to others so that they can. --- ---

ry ry StateCorp The State	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:24:00 - [51] Originally by: Sophie Daigneau That's absolutely sick. I had a friend who once posted a pic of a sore bottom with the text "Let the healing begin" after we started chasing a corp thief... anyway that was instantly removed and he got a warning. Guess we better stick to people getting their brains/skull blown apart then what does a 'sore bottom' have to do with eve?

You just made a broad personal attack on anyone that disagrees with your views. Just because you find the world full of sunshine does not mean that everyone else deserves to have wool over their eyes and to feign ignorance of any violence. What is mature content is what you can skip and not read. Saying we are all gun crazed and so obsessed with headshots that we play gun games all day is definitely not any sort of insult. Calling you a carebear is an insult, though. I respect your view completely.

This backstory is dark, gritty and violent. The eve universe has death, slaves, drugs, blood cults, exotic dancers, booze, violence and death. Not to flame but honestly: If you find this distastefull why did you pick a game that is billed as a dark future world?

Asestorian Minmatar Domination.	Posted - 2007.08.29 12:39:00 - [57] Edited by: Asestorian on 29/08/2007 12:40:44 Originally by: Radioactive Babe Originally by: Asestorian Anyway.

I never knew I could dock up, hop out of my spaceship and run around shooting people in the heads. No wonder people were calling it counterstrike in space. That's not what I mean when I say "what kind of world it is". The point of the chronicles isn't meant to describe what you can do it game, it is supposed to flesh out the world the game is set in. For instance. World of Warcraft is a game set in the fictional place that is Warcraft. There are many stories, and lots of information relating to it, that never appears, or is not playable, in the game. This stuff exists to bring depth to the game. To supply something that players (well, roleplayers) can use to understand how they should act within the game itself. It exists to show why some things are as they are in the game. It's exactly the same for EVE. But instead of elves and swords, we talk about spaceships and lasers. Quote: Quote: You are not forced to read the stories, or look at the artwork for them. But they should not be censored. It was on the front page, not somewhere I frequent too often but unavoidable none the less. Well, perhaps this is the case. But you can avert your gaze, or click on one of the other little buttons underneath the picture to go to something else. I suppose that doesn't help too much, but I still don't believe it is right for CCP to have to censor this stuff because a small group of people find it offensive. Maybe a slightly edited picture for the front page then. Edit: Although saying that. Perhaps it is a good idea to leave it as that on the front page. Seeing it serves as a warning to those who find such things distasteful what kind of game they should expect to be playing if they sign up for EVE. --- ---

Where I am from describing anyone with the word "crazed" in it is fighting talk. And you can call me a carebear all you like, this is an alt and any comment you make about my combat prowess is talking out of your bottom. Playing EVE does not involve me pulling triggers to shoot people in the head, in fact it does not involve peoples avatars at all (so far), thats mainly why I play it. Alas, poor risk vs reward, I knew you well
