A recent audit of my operations revealed an area of concern. My customers have no satisfactory way to tell me how to improve my services to them With this in mind I announce the launch of my new website/ helpdesk service where both new and old customers can give their comments via my guestbook....so please be my guest at...

Claiming that it is role-play when you create a character to cause nothing but angst is an insult to role-players. Pure Antagonists arenÆt a viable option for those who want to play a community RPG. Your ôJustificationö is merely an attempt to seem high minded when in fact you merely like causing people to feel bad. The line you cross is that you purposefully irritate people through a lazy loop hole rather than the skillful tactics of a rouge.

Now I donÆt know what RP books you have read to give you this warped ideology of what it means to roleplay but every Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance novel that has graced my shelves (and contains character that are thieves) all show one shining similarity. These thieves are quick and deft. They have skill and talent and slip heedlessly thought the night to procure rare and valuable items(I.E. not common ore).

If you take a care to look at your tactics, I have seen them first hand, they go like this:

You plod in your Indy going terribly slow. People notice you (thus canceling your ôthief nessö right there) and using the loop whole know to all (again not subtle just simple) you fly up to the can and take the pitiful ore of empire spaceàbut only 1 Indy load full. Then you warp off to a station and dock, thus being safe. You then turn around and gloat because you know that it bothers people that you take from them (thus letting everyone in system mark you as a thief...real subtle). So for all your vapid and lengthy attempts to convince your self your RPing you know your just ****ing people off for kicks.

The only time your even interesting is when you get blown up by a suicide kestrel which I find most depressing because to actually defend their assets people have to take advantage of a loop hole too.

You arenÆt role-playing a thief and all the justifications in the world arenÆt going to make it so. That CCP allows you to exist is the irritant, not you. You canÆt take enough ore but to effect newer players.

The reason I know first hand is that a new corp mate, just joined us on his 3th day in eve. He was brazen and mining in his Tier 2 amarr frigate. He was so proud of the fact that he spent 4 hours mining into a can in a 0.6 system. It was hard for him, he explained later of course, he had to use a gun so he only had the one mining laser.

Guess what happened. Vogon comes plodding in and head for his can, over corp Samos says ,öThere is a bestower coming at meö

After a few short words we identify that an ore stealer is heading at him. So we offer suggestions, haul the can (he couldnÆt quickly) Did you use a secure can? (what is that and IÆm broke anyways, took all my money to buy this tier 2 frigate) Well Sh*t you realize that in 0.6 CCP lets people plod along and take ore right? (But I spent 4 hours getting this ore...)

And of course what happens is Vogon (hiding in an npc corp of course) takes all this guys ore. Then as if he has something to show off about he announces in local ôYou have be Vogonedö or some such nonsense and runs too a station. Of course IÆm already in my kestrel inbound to that system with the intent to abuse the game in responseàbut he logs of course and stay off line for hours and hours.

Now if Vogon had stolen half a can from me or a corp opp it wouldnÆt have mattered much. But this guy Samos spent 4 hours mining with his one little laser and it was all taken away. And to him it was more the principle of 4 hours of game time wastedà

Vogon you are 99% insignificant to the game world as a whole. No one need care nor heed your word. But that 1% of effect is the hurt and irritation of people like Samos who did not disserve it.

bcuae of that, In that 1% you irritate me and many othersàand even still in the end you donÆt have a great effect. Some day maybe you will play the game and join the rest of us in RPing.

however to make a site proclaiming your greatness does less to bolster your image and more to annoy the rest of us. There is no justification other than you like to annoy people. Be honest and less superfluous, other wise you look like an egotistical jerk.

Vogon,

After reading Mitchello's post I truly understand why you do it! If only I could get a rant about me in the crime and punishment section of the forums for blowing people's prized battleships up . . . and podding them and making them lose their implants . . . arrrghhhh! Maybe I'll have to take my Iteron mk5 into empire space.

By the way, did you know that a mk5 can withstand a full volley of cruise missiles from a kestrel? Yes - in fact, in my Mk5 I can eat 4 cruise missiles without taking any armor damage. It's all about the small c5-L and shield hardeners. You should spend the time and train up to that badboy. It'll make you so much more durable.

You needed to train an Iteron 5 to be hard?

Damn, you need the Badger 2. It's a the most surviveable hauler in the game, and I can get a MWD on it. At least, I could, if I practised my energy management a bit better. Or got some better RCU's
