I lost my ship to smacktalkers a few minutes ago and lost my temper.
I called them A-holes in local using the whole word.
in response he told me to STFU twice and "DIE"
I know i cursed and am wondering if I will get a warning or a few day ban.
also telling someone to "DIE" cant that be taken as a life threat?
and of course abbreviated of curses is penalized to.
So im assuming the other person will be in more trouble than me.

As far as I know, so long as you don't call a GM an *******, you won't be punished. However, if you feel that these people threatened your physical person (not your ingame character), you can file a complaint about it with the GM's and they could very well be banned from the game forever.
One of the more imfamous *******s from the Crime and Punishment section threatened to kill someone over a scam, and was banned for forever. I don't remember his name offhand, but he was a douche from what I read.

Technically they might be able to petition it - and that is a fairly bi stretch - but I doubt you'll get anything other than a warning. Usually you have to make much more direct threats or use highly abusive, racist, or sexual language to worry about that.

I think calling someone a bodily orifice for excrement after losing ur ship is just a natural response, true it's best tempered and smacktaling in local after u lost just makes u sound like a sore loser but calling them that? no i don't think u need to fear a ban.

Most everyone whos not a prude has let loose with some good blue streaks in local, generally nobody gets banned unless a GM is in local or someone petitions you like 10 times to be spiteful. But usually they get banned next, for making dumbass petitions that clog the system for legit complaints.
As for the 'threat' I dont really think thats petitionable. I mean theres a big difference between 'wtf die noob' and '**** you ***** i know where you live im gonna come over there and kick your ass into a bloody pulp.' _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

really you only get a ban if its something really and truly horrid, think of the absolute worst thing you could say, add in some dogs, generic "your mom..." stuff , a rusty saw and anything else offensive and you might get a temp ban. But in all reality, you wont get banned. -------------

A-hole's hardly a swear at all!

I'm telling him what he can do, not what he should do. Additionally, I'd like to see you come up for a counter for permanent ban, buddy. The OP wins, the pirates fail at life, and there are now two less twinkies for me to scan for in EVE.
Everyone wins.

Meh, try not to lose your temper in the future. Its pixels on a screen after all. :)
Its unlikely they'll even complain about it. I've heard worse things in the HELP CHAT without anyone being banned over it.
I highly highly doubt he was threatening your person in any way at all. "I'm going to find out where you live and harm you" is a threat. Telling someone in game to "Die" isn't. (At least insofar as a threat in doing harm to your person). If all else fails, block them. Works wonders. Adapt more, whine less. |

I've never understood this sentiment of things being either online or in real life. I'd be equally ****ed off if I build a POS in EVE, lets say it takes me 48 hours to do so, and some random corp wardec'ed me to siege it to hell and back, as I would if I build a log cabin in the woods, lets say 48 hours again (not realistic I know) and some arsonist ***** sets it on fire.
Effort is effort, and time is time. While works done in the real would are of greater substance/value than those in a closed virtual reality, the brain cannot distinguish between the two efforts and the possessiveness that is carried with it. While an emotional even person does understand that it is a video game, and that the losses are trival to ones survival/living of life as a whole, its not this even state of mind that reacts to having ones "**** blown up". Its an instinctual reaction that causes people to smack in local, defending what they believe to be their property/claim from competition looking to take it away. Much like two dogs with a piece of meat, even if they sleep next to one another and play all day long, they will act completely irrational when it comes to whom gets the meat.
Such is our nature.

Best thing to do is, just put away the keyboard, if not just turn the table on them congratulate them on the kill and ask nicely if they are still going to be around here when you come back in 4-5 weeks time.
Most likely they answer yes. and you know what kind of people your dealing with.
they want peopple to get upset when people swear at them they think they do great, naturally that can sometimes be linked to that they have a hard time readig words with 5 or more letters in them or if you dont hold down the shift key while typing so their bad eyesight can see the letters on the screen.
many times they answer with clever codes for words even, like STFU u2m8, btw if anyone call you a STFU its bannable in some languages but only if its directed at you as person in real life. now im pretty sure most pewpew pirates wonder what STFU means in what language, and im not going to tell them.

He was not referring to ingame.
I'm not sure how you could prove that. Unless there's more to the exchange than you've told us, there's no way to say he was telling you to die in real life.
Furthermore, telling someone to die doesn't amount to a threat. It amounts to childish abuse. Telling them you intend to make them die would be a threat. Did he give any indication of such an intention?
Finally, there's the matter of ability. In British law at least (and bear in mind that few interactions within a game would be dealt with by law - most would be judged by company policy), a threat isn't considered a 'real' threat unless the person being threatened has a genuine belief that the threat will be carried out. For that to be possible, the person making the threat would need the will to do it and the ability to do it. While a threat over chat on EVE might demonstrate the will, it doesn't indicate the ability: how does he know where in the world you are? How would he find you? Could he physically reach you if he knew? Would he, as an example, fly from Sydney to London simply to assault you for some in-game offence?
As for your abusiveness towards him, I think the GMs will have seen it all before and, as a previous poster has said, unless you were saying something particularly offensive, I can't imagine a bit of angry name-calling is going to warrant a ban. But, as also mentioned before, it is going to strip you of your dignity and make you look like a really bad loser. |

I get a funny feeling that some people live a very sheltered life. I'm not saying that swearing and obscenity is big or clever, but c'mon....it's part of life, and most definitely part of life online.
A kid who gets his ass whooped at home for swearing is in his element in Eve....unless you email his mom.
