Fangedterror Caldari The Devils Brigade The Threshold	Posted - 2008.07.07 14:49:00 - [1] Edited by: Fangedterror on 07/07/2008 14:54:34 In eve I am a total aH* Yes sir, I will ransom you and then after you paied i will kill you anyways. I will call you childish names, provoke you, and become a general d*ck in local chat. But this is not how i act in Real Life at all. In RL i am charming, nice, and handsome Is this NORMAL??? How do you act in eve compared to RL? I want to know! Need some Help with EVE? -Guides -Ship Setups -People Singing for their ships -Eve Time Cards -and MORE!!!! www.eve-onlineguides.com
Winterblink Body Count Inc. The Requiem	Posted - 2008.07.07 14:50:00 - [2] I haven't logged out of life yet, so I guess that's a difference. :) warp drive active \| nature vraie
soldieroffortune 258	Posted - 2008.07.07 14:52:00 - [3] i act the same in game as i do in RL, lol im not sure if thats a good sign, maybe you should leave EVE for a while, go on vacation or something if your starting to get split personalities lol and while your on vacation, can i borrow your stuff? lol jk
Kothaanoon	Posted - 2008.07.07 14:54:00 - [4] Depends on my Mood I guess, I can go from anywhere to total nice to to complete Ahole ingame, Always try to be nice to others outside of game tho.
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2008.07.07 14:56:00 - [5] I act in EVE the same way I act in real life, however I once had a pirate alt and when playing that character I would happily gank helpless noobs all day. So I guess the level of separation between reality and the game is up to the player. - DesuSigs
RaTTuS BIG Libertas Fidelitas	Posted - 2008.07.07 14:58:00 - [6] Originally by: Winterblink I haven't logged out of life yet, so I guess that's a difference. :) I did briefly once - didn't like it so came back. -- BIG Lottery, BIG Deal, InEve, USERPROFILE
Sniper Wolf18 Gallente Apocalypse Ponies	Posted - 2008.07.07 14:59:00 - [7] Originally by: Winterblink I haven't logged out of life yet, so I guess that's a difference. :) You log out of life when u sleep Its what you use downtime for....
Fangedterror Caldari The Devils Brigade The Threshold	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:00:00 - [8] Maybe I need a phyciatrist. lol.... But there is a lot of evil people in eve... They can all be like that in RL. otherwise... Need some Help with EVE? -Guides -Ship Setups -People Singing for their ships -Eve Time Cards -and MORE!!!! www.eve-onlineguides.com
Slanty McGarglefist	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:02:00 - [9] Edited by: Slanty McGarglefist on 07/07/2008 15:02:36 I'm a nice individual in real life and I am the same in game as well. What annoys me is that whenever I want to act like an asshat in the game, I feel bad about it and never do it! __________________________________________________ Originally by: CCP Wrangler No Doh!
Winterblink Body Count Inc. The Requiem	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:04:00 - [10] Originally by: Sniper Wolf18 You log out of life when u sleep Its what you use downtime for.... No, that's going afk. warp drive active \| nature vraie
Lord Makk The Black Rabbits The Gurlstas Associates	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:04:00 - [11] Hmm. RL is hard! U can't hit "Replay" or simply buy another ship! If you smack someone, u might end up getting one to your face as well, so I try to avoid that :) Also the girls.. Compared to Exotic Dancers ofc.. Does not seem to "get on" from me telling them I have my own carrier!! :/ Perhaps purchasing a Titan with xxxx GTC's will make me superl33t? Will it fix my virginity as well? \o/ I guess I act normal in RL.. I think In-eve : Fly around and attack random people , sometimes a glorious victory with juicy beartears to it. other times, total fail and another lesson learned RL : Acting normally, and not attack random people
Tharukan Desm'ar	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:16:00 - [12] Edited by: Tharukan Desm''ar on 07/07/2008 15:16:52 I pretty much act like i do in real life. Chat away with people i know. Polite to people in general and help where I can with with corp and alliance stuff. I wouldn't really say I have an online persona in that regard that i am the same way in real life.
Faife Minmatar Kinda'Shujaa	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:18:00 - [13] my spaceships are faster in RL. - -
Tarminic 24th Imperial Crusade	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:18:00 - [14] I'm definitely more outgoing in EVE than in real life. You'd never catch me making motivational speeches outside of EVE. It was actually a problem when I first started using voice comms, to be honest. I'm pretty introverted outside the interwebs. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3)
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:44:00 - [15] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 07/07/2008 15:45:50 Im a bit ****ier on the forums. In business life, Im more of a team player even if the team are filled of slow working lazy people. No point in making an enemy out of people. --- Its dead, Jim.
Lui Kai Perkone	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:53:00 - [16] I kill far fewer people IRL. <.< >.> ----------------
Pr0cy0n Caldari Primal Element	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:53:00 - [17] In RL I murder, steal, pillage, set people on fire, ransom people that sort of thing. When I feel like I need a break I come to eve and mine in high sec, run level 1 missions and chat in eve radio.
Roc Wieler Tribal Liberation Force	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:55:00 - [18] Attitude wise, I'm pretty much the same. I have no time for whiney kids. I have no patience for sitting around doing nothing. I am strong willed (pig headed) and speak my mind probably more than I should. As an avid RPer for a loooong time I have found that no matter how hard you try to create a completely fantastical character, your real self will always slip through. "Never start a fight you can win." - Roc Wieler
Gealbhan Caldari Infernal Syndicate Red Dawn Alliance	Posted - 2008.07.07 15:58:00 - [19] In game I'm a rotten pirate that'll pod you just for fun. RL I'm just an average guy. I like to think of Eve-o as letting out my darker side for a run.
Diarrhea Aguilera	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:12:00 - [20] I find myself to be way nicer to ppl in Eve than in RL - I guess the simple reason is that if I act like a **** IRL, I don't get ganked and don't lose billions in spaceships as compared to Eve...
Roc Wieler Tribal Liberation Force	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:14:00 - [21] Originally by: Diarrhea Aguilera I find myself to be way nicer to ppl in Eve than in RL - I guess the simple reason is that if I act like a **** IRL, I don't get ganked and don't lose billions in spaceships as compared to Eve... That, and with a name like Diarrhea you almost have to be nicer. "Never start a fight you can win." - Roc Wieler
Arvald Caldari Aurora Acclivitous Paxton Federation	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:18:00 - [22] well in terms of how i talk to people treat them and act around other people, then yes i act the same way ingame as in rl, really nice to people i like/don't know and an ass hat to people who deserve it. i keep the same sense of humor as well (though i don't try and scam anyone in real life ) Originally by: Xanos Blackpaw Stealthbomber combat (or as i like to call it: Just because you *are* paranoid don't mean there isnt a invisible demon about to eat your face)
Isiskhan Gnostic Misanthropy	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:23:00 - [23] I'm more talkative and communicative in the game and forums than in RL (outside of what is necessary for work)... and then I'm pretty quiet in EvE. Over the last years I've become very reclusive and talk as little as possible in RL, I've given up on my old friends and all social life outside of work and family. And I'm very happy with it.
Frannkie	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:34:00 - [24] i have this theory... hear me out... those of you that act like griefers / pirates in game, i wonder how many of you had a really aweful time at school and were bullied ... cause my theory is this, your too shit scared to actually stand up for yourselves in r/l so therefore, eve or any other mmo is a safe way for you to inflict anger / hurt / mistrust without the worry of getting a smack in the mouth. I am no pirate, i have never scammed and i certainly have never gone out of my way to ruin someones game time, but then again, i was never a bully, nor was i bullied ... just a curious theory...
Zinras Caldari Order of draugr	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:35:00 - [25] I'm pretty much like in RL when I play EVE.. Except in RL, I don't make millions and fly spaceships. And I shoot less people in RL too Originally by: CCP Greyscale moderated - mother abuse - Mitnal CCP's best friend
Viqtoria Caldari Groping Hand Social Club	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:41:00 - [26] very much the same both in the game and out, completely honest, light hearted and well humoured. I'd say i give no heed to the rpg aspect at all beyond the most basic levels of game mechanics (though the first thing that entered my mind upon reading your name was the cerberus HAC :P). I'm reasonably quiet and understand that sometimes what I want to say has no use, unless some cretinous internet alphamale insults me, upon which i'll put them back in their place. So yeah, i'm me both ingame and out, how could I be anything else?

Qui Shon	Posted - 2008.07.07 17:53:00 - [29] Originally by: Fangedterror Is this NORMAL??? In Eve, there are little if any consequences, despite claims to the contrary. There are no real punishments, and perhaps more importantly, little if any social control. In fact, there seems to be a strong supportive culture for behaving like an *****. There are many groups that support and reinforce exluding of other large groups of people from the "us" circle, thus limiting or eliminating normal guilt for bad deeds done to "those people". A large part of Eve is built around preying on the weak (whether that power relation is temporary or lasting), and again, without the inhibitors rl society has, well, this is what you get. I firmly believe most people behave pretty much as is expected of them, in RL. However, it's also worth remembering that most "bad" people irl, whether the common ***** or a career criminal, seldom see themselves as the "bad guy". Rather, they rationalize their behavior, often by blaming their victim.

Qui Shon	Posted - 2008.07.07 18:04:00 - [31] Edited by: Qui Shon on 07/07/2008 18:05:13 Sigh. Always one of these to every thread. I was expecting it, but not as the first post after mine. You were quick Originally by: Stab Wounds totally true, most these d1ckheads in the game would probably be thieves and murderers in RL if there were no laws and police. Now, that's not quite what I said, Mr Stab Wounds. I'm talking about social mechanisms, which are similar in and out of the gane. The common ass-hole is more likely to be playing 'puter games then career criminals are. Also, I think social control is more important then law enforcement, for the majority of people.
Exlegion New Light Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.07.07 18:17:00 - [32] Edited by: Exlegion on 07/07/2008 18:27:29 Originally by: Zapp Brenigan Edited by: Zapp Brenigan on 07/07/2008 17:48:34 I act pretty much the same in EVE as I do in real life. I find that people use the anonymity of EVE or the internet in general to act out, because they actually want to in real life, but are scared of the consequences or don't want to admit to themselves that they are a jerk. Its probably better that they act them out here than in RL. This is my own personal opinion. If you have a different one, thats your perogative...even if your wrong. I agree. I think anonymity (such as internet anonymity) brings out a closer truth about our personalities than we'd like to admit. Internet anonymity is one of the closest environments we have to experiment on what we would be like if we were truely free to act as we wish and without consequence. I am not a psych, so obviously this is just my own personal and humble opinion. Edit: I'd just like to clarify that I don't believe that because you shoot people in-game you'd shoot people in real life. The game is designed with the intent that we shoot each other and so we do. What I'm referring to is behavior. Griefing, taking pleasure behind other's misery, taunting, ridiculing, insulting, belittling, are all examples of behaviors I specifically am referring to. One of us equals many of us. Disrespect one of us, you'll see plenty of us. - Gang Starr

Valan The Fated	Posted - 2008.07.07 18:27:00 - [34] In game I tend to do the honourable thing. Out of work hanging out I'm fairly laid back.

Quoting this for truth, i have a hard time believing the "sweet sweet tears/empirewardeconnoobindycorp/newbiebaiting" crowd is the type of imo "good" person in real life that would for example give the class-punch bag a break. Im not surprised there is so much resistance to this idea though, it probably shows people a bit too much about themselves that they would rather be blissfully unaware about.

Griefing, taking pleasure behind other's misery, taunting, ridiculing, insulting, belittling, are all examples of behaviors I specifically am referring to. This is a good point. It is foolish to suggest that people who shoot other people in a game about shooting people would necessarily be violent in real life. This extra level of antagonism is very suggestive of the players true personality however. Although, I would imagine that most players who behave at that extreme are kids, and thus inconsequential in real life. Perhaps that's just stereotypes colouring my view, I don't know. - DesuSigs
Metal Monster	Posted - 2008.07.07 18:44:00 - [41] In EVE: Normal, quiet, curios. Knowing that im weak. RL: Same things. But RL sux... aynway. People in general suck ass, becouse the system is shit.... Fangedterror: This what you cant do in real life, then you rather do ingame. Everbody got two sides... a good one and bad one. But afterall we need a good side for RL, or we woud be instatly put to jail or shoot at site and as some one wrote "good" that we got laws and police (lol).

Noelle Fay State Protectorate	Posted - 2008.07.07 18:46:00 - [44] Well in EvE, I'm helpful and nice. In RL, I plunder, put houses or cars on fire, loot and steal all around. I also go up to random people telling them to hold it right there and pay me a large sum of money, or I will pod them. Yeah I got that right.. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The secret to success, whether it's women or money, is knowing when to quit. I oughta know: I'm divorced and broke.

Praesus Lecti Gallente Blueprint Haus Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:12:00 - [47] I'm actually nicer in EVE than I am normally. I don't swear nearly as much, I don't go off on a rant at the drop of a hat, I'm rarely sarcastic or insulting. I'm more of a ***** outside of the game than in. /shrug

For instance: I can't imagine travelling 10 blocks to pick up a new car for one of my co-workers...but 10 jumps to grab someone a new ship.... and while I've never ransomed someone in Real Life, I'd like to assume that I wouldn't kill them after they paid.

I took off in my own car but unfortunately I was intercepted by the police who also shot up my vehicle. It was all good though, I got out and walked off up the street and had a mate pick up the groceries.
Dantes Revenge	Posted - 2008.07.07 20:04:00 - [60] Originally by: Exlegion Edit: I'd just like to clarify that I don't believe because you shoot people in-game you'd shoot people in real life. The game is designed with the intent we shoot each other and so we do. What I'm referring to is behavior. Griefing, taking pleasure behind other's misery, taunting, ridiculing, insulting, belittling, are all examples of behaviors I specifically refer to. It's easy to shoot some pixels that are being controlled by another player. Shooting them in RL is a different matter entirely and there are not so many as yu'd think who could actually do it. Ask anyone who has been in the armed forces and fought in a war, it's really hard to point a gun at someone and pull the trigger knowing you are taking a human life. So many freeze up at that point and just can't pull the trigger. As for the rest, it common for people to do that, take a look around at how frequently it goes on. How many times has this been used on you to goad you into a fight? It's quite common that this sort of behaviour is used to goad people in authority into reacting which could cost them their jobs. Don't try this on a police officer though, they can do the same back and are usually better at it. The problem is that they have the full power of the law behind them when you react

Thank you for proving my point so eloquently. That was perfect. You do it here because you can get away with it. If you were a jerk in RL there would be RL conequences. I'm not saying anything about "OMG, I SHOOTZ PPL IN EVE NOW I'M GONNA BE A MURDERER IN RL." That's a falehood anyway, in EVE there is no death. Only the inconvenience of losing some isk and possibly some SP. You come here to inconvenience someone, because you were inconvenienced that day, taking a little measure of revenge and releasing your negative emotions. Thats healthy.

Jaratsri Amarr Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2008.07.08 10:13:00 - [69] EVE life, I have been a noobie care bear, blown to bits in 0.0, done the merc work, playing the pirate that will blow you up if you donÆt pay me. RL, fairly well composed father of 2, have a stable family, have a job I like, never been the bully or had my head down the toilet. Why do I blow other peoples ships up in EVE ? Why do I take other players isk in EVE ? Why do actors really like playing the bad guy in movies ? Why is often the bad guy more fun to watch then the hero in the movies ? Perhaps we are all brain damaged, I donÆt know, but its fun, pure and simple, I donÆt need to hate you to ransom you, I donÆt need to hold a grudge against anyone to blow them up, its EVE, a game based around blowing other people up. Fine, there might be mentally ill individuals playing the games, but, not every pirate that kills you for the five hundred and one time is a lifeless maggot sitting the parents basement feeling angsty over having had there underwear pulled down throughout all his school years. EVE = PVP Game = your shit is going to blow up.

Neaghan Grebs Tovil-Toba's Elite Guard	Posted - 2008.07.08 11:19:00 - [76] In EVE I play as a character. That character plays to the rules of that society, not RL society. In EVE there's very little retribution for anything so it naturally leads characters doing "bad" things. I decided for a week or so to salvage wrecks in missions. Apparently this made me a thief in real life and the sort of person who would murder somebody given the chance to get away with it. Now i'm not perfect (I may have a sherry or two at the weekends ) but in game and out of game are two very seperate things for me. Whether I'd be different out of game given a different society to live in I don't know. In my opinion anybody who says they know how they would act having been brought up to a different set of rules is talking out their a*se. Anyway Neaghan does not equal Me.

I am no pirate, i have never scammed and i certainly have never gone out of my way to ruin someones game time, but then again, i was never a bully, nor was i bullied ... just a curious theory... No. I was bullied at school to an extent and I have no desire to ruin anyone's day. I'd say it's more likely to be the bully at school is more likely to be a jerk in Eve as they can pick on people and get away with it. The problem is defining who is the griefer bully and who is just an in character pirate.

Chzandri	Posted - 2008.07.09 09:24:00 - [98] In EVE i like chatting with people and am usually the one saying a lot of silly things and breaking the ice in newly formed corps with new members. In real life i am much more reserved and much less chatty especially with people i have just met and much more serious. In EVE i have baited miners, camped and killed newbies in low sec, and scammed people. In real life i rarely get angry at other people. I even have trouble killing insects that crawl into my dwelling, i just take them outside. I also know a few ways to scam in real life, make some extra cash and get away with it without any consequences like in EVE. However i have never used any of these ways and being a poor student it is not like i don't need extra cash. In EVE I like doing my own thing. I have trouble taking orders, flying in fleets, that just gets me bored very quickly. Also I get annoyed with people who are anal about enforcing rules. Same in real life. I do not abide laws very strictly and I am rarely bored because I always have some sort of my own projects going on. Some people assume that if you kill a newbie or bait a miner or scam someone in EVE that deep down inside you are really trying to ruin that player's day. I have never concerned about ruining someone else's day. For me it is the high that I get from wining. For example I don't play tennis or poker with other people because i want to make them lose and get upset over it. I play because it gives me a high to win. Why is it that people assume if you pirate or scam that you are trying to grief others is beyond me. I guess it makes them feel morally superior to assume something like that.

Incidentally, the logical corollary to the hypothesis that ~~PvPers~~ griefers were picked on at school is that the carebears complaining about them were the bullies that did the picking on.

Phroneo Caldari Southern Cross Incorporated Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.07.09 13:30:00 - [112] Originally by: Fangedterror I just really disagree with the people who say that "if you kill people in game the you would do it in RL if you could get away with it." Does that make all the FPS players murderers too? Or what about the RTS people who play starcraft and games like that, are they all hilter type people wanting to raise an army? Piff maybe some of them, but i refuse to blieve that their is any relation. You just quoted something nobody said. If you read carefully, it is about hurting someone emotionally. No-one here is so silly as to confuse virtual killing with real-life killing. I think single-player games would come closer to simulating that than respawning gamers. -- It may be that the old astrologers had the truth exactly reversed, when they believed that the stars controlled the destinies of men. The time may come when men control the destinies of stars. ACC
Fangedterror Caldari The Devils Brigade The Threshold	Posted - 2008.07.09 13:39:00 - [113] Originally by: Stab Wounds Originally by: Qui Shon Originally by: Fangedterror Is this NORMAL??? In Eve, there are little if any consequences, despite claims to the contrary. There are no real punishments, and perhaps more importantly, little if any social control. In fact, there seems to be a strong supportive culture for behaving like an *****. There are many groups that support and reinforce exluding of other large groups of people from the "us" circle, thus limiting or eliminating normal guilt for bad deeds done to "those people". A large part of Eve is built around preying on the weak (whether that power relation is temporary or lasting), and again, without the inhibitors rl society has, well, this is what you get. I firmly believe most people behave pretty much as is expected of them, in RL. However, it's also worth remembering that most "bad" people irl, whether the common ***** or a career criminal, seldom see themselves as the "bad guy". Rather, they rationalize their behavior, often by blaming their victim. totally true, most these d1ckheads in the game would probably be thieves and murderers in RL if there were no laws and police.

RedClaws Amarr Dragon's Rage Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2008.07.09 13:49:00 - [115] Originally by: Pwett Originally by: Jenny Spitfire RL is saem as Eve. Does that mean you're for sale to the highest bidder in RL as well? Damn you beat me On topic: I'm much more proactive in Eve than in RL. My character is in a leadership position and ,I hope, enjoys some kind of respect from my corp members. In RL I get a lot less respect and less people look up to me. Naturally I'm quieter in RL for that reason. Fortunately playing Eve for over 4 years now has blurred the line between the RL me and the Eve me. Eve has changed me for the better and I'm proud of that, thanks CCP.
Slade Trillgon Siorai Iontach Brotherhood of the Spider	Posted - 2008.07.09 14:06:00 - [116] I am a little freer with my opinions in real life and I tend to be a little more reckless. I think that has something to do with the fact that if I make an ass out of myself in EVE then my corp or alliance may pay the price. Whereas in real life if I do stupid things I am typically the only on that can be held accountable for my actions. I am a little more masochistic Out of EVE vs In EVE. Slade

I help people for a living. Lys is a hardened soldier... I'm a hardened guitarist for a death metal band. We're both nice people. Lysianna Hazumason

Great Artista Caldari Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2008.07.09 15:19:00 - [120] Really unsocial/untalkative IRL, changes a lot when I get in the game. I like people when they are pixels on the screen and I can get rid of them with f1-f8 or just closing client. _______ ◕◡◕

Malcanis We are Legend	Posted - 2008.07.09 16:53:00 - [122] Originally by: Qui Shon Edited by: Qui Shon on 09/07/2008 13:22:52 Originally by: Malcanis The "carebear tears" bit comes from ... Very well, that probably accounts for part of the posts containing that specific comment. However, reading C&P for a while, you come across a whole motherload of people saying they love it when they get a negative reaction out of their victims, and it's not limited to tantrum reactions at all. The plundering bunny may be a bit more direct about it then most in her/his stated goal of making people quit, but she's far from the only one. EDIT: Lol, forget C&P, all one needs to do is read through this thread. Hell, even just this page, to see people professing love for making someone elses day worse. You may want to start applying a bit of critical thinking to things you read on the net. Don't try and do it to everything straight away though; You might hurt yourself. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.
Qui Shon	Posted - 2008.07.09 21:27:00 - [123] Oh greeat, we're down to personal insults now. Grats Malc. Bottom line, there's a whole lot of people in this game who get their jollies from hurting other people (emotionally), and some of them are very open about it. Doesn't matter how many nice, helpful pirates you know, I know a couple too, doesn't change anything. Those guys are being occluded by the vocal and numerous diks.
