Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.09.28 00:08:00 - [1] While searching for techniques to grief in Hello Kitty Online I found the following link. Quote: undefined Griefers are jerks because... Quote: But, the psychiatrist adds that griefers could also just be mentally ill, whether they're depressed, have a psychotic disorder, or substance abuse problems.

Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.09.28 00:34:00 - [2] All I managed to determine from that article is that psychiatrist's are whiny carebears trying to find reasons to make themselves feel better about being crap at pvp.

Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.09.28 04:24:00 - [3] Originally by: Curzon Dax "In search of hair-raising fights" leaves a lot to be desired. Most of today's Eve pirates seem to be the gatecamping kind. That's not in search of much of anything at all. People gatecamp because it is effective and profitable. Profitable = piracy. Roaming gangs are a lot more fun but even a roaming gang ends up engaging people at gates. You have to shoot them somewhere. There is a place for playing space rock simulator but I tend to prefer more active roles while logged into eve. I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.09.28 10:25:00 - [4] Originally by: Drasked Why do you say pirates in the title and griefers in the post? both are diffrent. The choice of words was deliberate. I used pirates in the title to be journalistic and grab your attention. Then did the tabloid trick of change to the real content in the body of the post.

Ahhahaha! Hello Kitty griefing FTW! I'm sure there must be a way to grief people in that game either within the mechanics or through social interation either inside or outside actual game mechanics. Screw it I'm applying for the beta. There better be a war dec option. I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.09.30 08:45:00 - [6] @ smacktalk above. I've managed to shoot targets that have never given me a bounty (or never had the chance). Now I've had two bounty increases this weekend. I see what people mean about all the weird comments in local etc. I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.10.04 00:00:00 - [8] Edited by: Devian 666 on 04/10/2007 00:01:19 I like the way you think ^^ Everyone playing eve is mentally ill because it's a pvp game. We all need to join the Hello Kitty Beta because it's allegedly non-pvp. Clearly it's normal to play a furry kitten in a pink dress with flowers in her hair (excuse me while I puke). Why does this scenario remind me of the Psychiatrist character in Arrested Development? I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.10.04 01:00:00 - [9] Originally by: Leora Nomen you guys totally don't understand what word "intentional" means do you? I thought most of us were having a laugh at a link that I posted because it's so incredibly inaccurate and unscientific. Nothing like mocking bogus "science". If you look at one of my very early responses you'll note that I intentionally posted this thread in tabloid style. I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

Devian 666 Sectoid Technologies	Posted - 2007.10.04 01:04:00 - [10] Originally by: Hunters Presence The worst bit though, is anyone with a hint of wisdom of the science of psychology automatically assumes that everyone holds some kind of mental disorder. ... Human beings are human beings. The idea that a human being can be 'wrong' or 'inhuman' is ridiculous, ... What you have stated here is the underpinning of why psychology is no longer a science. I didn't expect this from KOS so the war is off. I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

Nothing like mocking bogus "science". If you look at one of my very early responses you'll note that I intentionally posted this thread in tabloid style. Yeah but what you're trying to discuss here is pvp while the article is about griefing and not player vs player combat. Griefing and pvp are not the same. You can be a miner, trader, mission runner and grief others. I don't even see words "pvp", "combat", or "piracy" in that article. Originally by: Devian 666 Everyone playing eve is mentally ill because it's a pvp game. We all need to join the Hello Kitty Beta because it's allegedly non-pvp. When the article refers to "mentally ill, whether they're depressed, have a psychotic disorder, or substance abuse problems" it is referring to "people who intentionally harass or annoy other players in online games" and not anyone who chooses to engage in player vs player combat. Yet you blend the two in your comments as if they are one and same. The other poster does the same thing, leading me to believe that you guys don't get the difference between griefing and piracy or other pvp play. And the difference lies in the word "intentional". You either go out there trying to intentionally upset and anger people. Or you pirate for profit, challenge, risk, pretty explosions with no such intent. There's a difference and I don't really get why you're mixing the two up. Bwahahahaha. You really don't get it do you. You are the one mistaking humour for serious writing. Read what I have written and consider that it is not at all serious. Unless of course you consider tabloids to be the same quality as peer reviewed scientific journals. You should consider the intent of what I have written. I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

Unless of course you consider tabloids to be the same quality as peer reviewed scientific journals. You should consider the intent of what I have written. If you read this entire thread you'll see that myself and a few other players who posted here are confused as to why you're talking about pirates and linking an article about griefers as it is not one and same. Imagine I go and make a post titled "Why are all car salesmen such crooks" and in the body of the post I'll link some funny article titled "Nigerian 419 scam: Causes and Concerns". After this I'm going to find it very funny if anyone doesn't get why I made a post about car salemen and linked some silly article that talks about nigerian scammers and specifically them and has nothing to do with car salemen. Perhaps you'd like to explain to me the fine humor that lies in this. It's called satire. I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.
