Do the evil pirates (people who kill for no reason, or who kill to loot and steal) totally outnumber the righteous protectors in this game? (People who only kill bad people, and usually not for the profit / loot)
What does this say about people in society? That without the constraints of society they do not see the need for a society's general rules against destruction? That they, deep down, are nothing more than primitive animals that eat each other for food and spend all their time fighting and none of it doing productive, long term successful things?
Part of what makes us human is our societies and our order. For as long as there's been soldiers there's been civilians, and the best societies are ones where all the people in it are protected by righteous people.
Perhaps most people are animalistic, and some people are not - these people are the great leaders who can form great societies (like Jesus and George Washington) who fight against the evils of destruction...especially random and wanton destruction that results in heavy losses and few gains...
Not to say that you're "required" to be ethical when playing EVE, but why are so few people ethical when the offical rules say you're allowed to not be? Are you all such blind slaves that you only follow the offical rules, and cannot see the society underneath that can form?
Anyways, perhaps next time you want to "Gank" someone, you should consider how much harder it is to fight those who cause misery, rather than being one of the evil thugs that causes it.

Anyways, perhaps the next time you get "ganked" by someone, you should consider how much easier it would have been to stay in high sec where you are safer from the misery, and staying away from the thugs that causes it. One of the appealing things about Eve is that you can pirate. And you can "make a living" from it, so to speak. This is something that is impossible or very hard in most other MMO's.
But anyways, sure there might be more pirates than anti-pirates. But there are more carebares, industrial people, miners, people PvP'ing in alliance wars, Bounty Hunters, Mercs and FW fighters combined than there are pirates.
"What does this say about people in society? That without the constraints of society they do not see the need for a society's general rules against destruction?
Sure, there might be a lot of pirates, but that doesn't mean that this statement is true. There might be more pirates than pirate hunters, but there aren't more pirate hunters than the other types of players combined.

Yesterday I saw two children playing "battleships", one of them was winning, and with glee he exlaimed "I sunk your battleship!" his eyes were completely devoid of sympathy for the thousands of souls onboard that little battleship, what has our world become, he could not be more than nine and his mother didn't even TRY to correct this behaviour, society is going down the drain.

As much as I hate to say this, Kublai, you win this thread.
And to the op, many eve players have to work IRL to pay bills, taxes and keep food on the table for themselves and their families. So when some come online to play internet spaceships the last thing they may want to do is sit around mining or grinding missions to make pretend money. They would rather come online, shoot a few people and have a good time doing it unwinding from RL. If you have a problem with the morality of this or whatever then you should definately stay clear from MMORPGS, FPS and action games and stick with the Sims 2.

You're in the wrong areas. There aren't a lot of "Righteous protectors" that will ride out into lowsec on a shining white steed to save Joe Newbie from the Evil Pirates...but there are a lot of non-pirating players and organizations that actively fight against pirates in their area of space. However, they're inhabiting the less pirate-infested regions and defending their space from there, rather than flying out in huge wtfpwnblobs into pirate-infested empire to empire lowsec pipelines.

spend less time copying some thesis paper from a college student and train up some pew pew skills and kill people yourself. ATM you're just playing the sheep giving more people lol's and reasons to come kill such a weak player that's obviously beeing beaten up by some bullies..and suck at a game that they pay money for. ----------------------- How Cruel Stickin' It X2 Stickin' It 2aridia |

Playing a Game is fun, killing people for no reason for most people its a an horrific thing.
You shouldnt really compare game and RL tbh, if being a goody goody were fun then we'd all be that.
tbh i always feel its the other way around, the anti-pirates / alliances are the evil ones, were just doing darwins work.

I love how people look at an artificially structured social environment that rewards predatory or at least aggressive behavior over altruism by at least 2:1 and declare with absolute certainty that this is proof that Hobbes was right.

How is it more difficult?
If anything, it should be easier a lot of the time. There are more -10 pirates than -10 anti-pirates (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm going to try to keep my responses brief.
Quote: Do the evil pirates (people who kill for no reason, or who kill to loot and steal) totally outnumber the righteous protectors in this game? (People who only kill bad people, and usually not for the profit / loot)
There are no good or bad people. What you're talking about is simply the outcome of being viewed by another person's viewpoint. For instance, if you mine a veldspar asteroid, that's one less veldspar asteroid that I can mine for myself. Therefore, in my view, you have in a sense pirated from me. If you put it on the market and make a profit from it by undercutting me, then you've again taken profit that would have been mine. The so called bad-guys are simply guys, struggling for power, just like George Washington did when he lead the fledgling colonial forces against the red coats.
Quote: What does this say about people in society? That without the constraints of society they do not see the need for a society's general rules against destruction?
It says that human beings cannot appreciate order without a degree of chaos to judge it by, and that you have never set foot into 0.0. There are many very healthy societies functioning in 0.0 without the artificial constraints that CONCORD provides. They generally set up their own sets of rules, that often times mirror that of the larger Empire society. However, each of these 0.0 mini-societies, and modern day RL societies are only in existence because they have banded together and destroyed many other societies.
Also, one could well argue that the pirates are the ones truly alive and enjoying life, and that the carebears are walking zombies. Sometimes you can't appreciate being alive unless you've stared death in the face.
Quote: Part of what makes us human is our societies and our order. For as long as there's been soldiers there's been civilians, and the best societies are ones where all the people in it are protected by righteous people.
1) You're implying that being human is some sort of greatly unique accomplishment. It's not. People do it every day. Idiots do it. Lots and lots of idiots. People are nothing more than big-brained animals.
2) Animals have societies as well. Chimps have a structured hierarchy, a pecking order of dominance among males and females which is respected by the lower castes. Whales have societies, as well as dolphins, lions, wolves, buffalo and pretty much any sort of social animal. Being social is not a trait unique among humans, nor is having a structured society.
3) The "righteous" people aren't defending their society from "bad" people. They're only seen as righteous within their society, and they're simply killing the enemies of their society, much like the Romans did to well... pretty much everyone. Do you think the barbarian army at the beginning of Gladiator were "evil"? Do you think the Romans were? Those who seek to harm the social group are seen as the enemy from within the social group, while the enemy sees the social group as the evil ones. They're both simply varying viewpoints.
Quote: Not to say that you're "required" to be ethical when playing EVE, but why are so few people ethical when the offical rules say you're allowed to not be? Are you all such blind slaves that you... cannot see the society underneath that can form?
Pot, meet kettle. Pirates are a necessary part of the society. You don't seem to see that. Lawbreakers are a necessary part of any society. Villains are necessary. People NEED those types of people to point the finger at and say "that guy's bad. I'm glad I'm better than him!" Without an occasional dose of chaos, one cannot appreciate the order that one strives to achieve.
EVE is a wonderfully open sandbox where you only have what you're able to keep from others and I like it that way.
Perhaps next time you get ganked, you'll take responsibility for your actions and realize that it is your own fault for allowing it.

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 02/08/2008 15:33:32 There are some people in Eve who do things so scummy that it really makes you wonder if they aren't also a duplicitous ass-hat IRL. Such people DO NOT typically include those who like subjecting others to unconsensual PvP though IMO. Nor does it include those who make a strategically-oriented decision to conduct an epic backstab (a la MC turning on BoB last December.) Nor does it include most scammers. Sure they might generate some negative feelings in you if you fall victim to them, but it's all just in-game business you know.
Now on the other hand, you get people who prey on the inexperienced, drag them many jumps out to Low Sec, blow them up, take their gear, and then just insult them repeatedly. This is allowed under Eve mechanics, and I'm okay with that, but I don't think it really speaks well of the attacker/s. On the other hand if you do all that, and then instead of smacking you inform the person of what they did wrong that got them destroyed. That's fine.
Most people don't roleplay in this game. They play through their characters, as opposed to their character playing them, I guess is one way to look at it. But that said, the Eve world is a lot different than the real world, and normal modes of behavior don't apply, hence all the chaos in New Eden.
As for me personally, I'm just along for the ride tbh.

... LOL
Because I'm a pirate in EVE, I must therefore be a pirate in real life... Yes, I do happen to own a boat and sail around stealing treasure and saying "Yarr" a lot. I also have a pet parrot.
Also, lol at "these people are the great leaders who can form great societies (like Jesus and George Washington)".
I don't remember much from the bible, but from what I do remember, Jesus is supposedly an alter-ego of one of the greatest creaters of pain and suffering ever. A few examples:
- God drowned about 99% of all complex land organisms on Earth
- God destroyed entire cities simply because some inhbitants disobeyed him
- God condemns people to eternal suffering for not following his rules
To be honest that doesn't seem to be a very good role model...

I used to be what is termed a "anti-pirate". After forming a Alliance with friends called EKLIPTICA we headed off to Pureblind, at the time the most pirate infested region of space, we cleaned out the region and lived there for some time. Rules of engagment where fire on -10's or set red only or return fire once fired upon and add offending party to the red list. Our space was also considered "Free Space" meaning that if you didnt come in and engage the locals, then use it to you hearts content.
After a couple years of "Carebear" sitting and having a hard time of getting people to support the pvp arm of the alliance, not supplying isk and ships mainly and the odd extra peeps when bigger blobs came, I threw in the towel with frustration.
So i joined one of the biggest, baddest, best and older pirate corps in the game, SNIGG. Life is so much better now, i get tears! i get free Mods! I get tons of pvp action!
I dont think im the only one to go pirate because of this reason, maybe carebears should support there pvp arm better, after all, the only reason there in the section of space they own, is because someone else pvp'd for it

Organized religion has probably killed off more of this planet's population than everything outside of natural causes.
This tidbit of history brought to you by the Auto-de-Fe and similar "my religion is better than your religion cuz I say so" types throughout recorded history.
My "crimes" in EvE pale by comparison .
**EDIT**For the discerning reading pirate might I dare recommend Dan Simmon's "Hyperion" series....especially books 3-4. Don't worry...it's hard sci-fi...not a trap .

It's just a natural effect of the way the food chain works. Prey outnumber predators. Worms outnumber birds, birds outnumber housecats, housecats outnumber foxes, and so on. The large number of carebears supports a smaller number of pirates. Since pirates are fewer, there is very little prey for "anti-pirates" to sustain themselves on,. And since "anti-pirates", like pirates, are people who like living in lowsec and blowing other people's ships up without their consent, I think most "anti-pirates" figure out sooner or later that if they were just regular pirates, they'd have more to shoot at.

Hey, Pastor Skeet here... We've given our own Kyle "Da G-Man" Goldman a page on the Zounds! site for his awesome mini-reviews of video games. When he's not too busy studying at the F-Ship to become a Missiological Technician, Kyle likes to hang with his peeps in the Commons and play some vids. And let me tell you, Da G-Man got game. Back in the day, I could play a righteous game of Pong, but even I've got nothing on Kyle's mad skillz. As the gamers say: I got pee-to-the-owned, powned.

OP: Anti-pirate whiner.
So let me get this straight, alt OP non-main person, If you had a ship locked down, it's into structure and you're convo'ing the pilot and demand x-amount of isk to let him go. He says ok and x-fers the demanded amount to your wallet, you wouldn't be pleased with the result?
Yeah, ok I believe you
Pirating (my kind anyway) is a way of life. It's not about the "lulz" of just killing for fun. I attack people for two reasons - Loot as in modules and Ransom. You pay, you go free. Simple as that. I ain't never blown anyone up that paid a ransom & I don't intend to, it's bad for business.

I did the same exact thing, trying to figure out if it was honestly legit. After some research, it looks like we aren't the first ones. The owners of the website have never suggested that it's satire, but they claim that dinosaurs are still alive, call anybody they can terrorists, and so on...It almost -has- to be satire. According to what I read, it's old internet news, though :( So we're just out of the loop.

There is one, very simple reason for me being a pirate: we cut down on global warming. I'm not going to bother explaining why, but trust me, corellation = causation. Just trust me on that.
Oh, and of course! You're completely right. We should all be&have like Jesus and good ol' George, because that's the way the world was meant to be! Seriously, throw your sanctimonious bullsh!t out the window and consider what you're doing. This is C&P. What were you thinking?

Originally by: Xap Starfire Do the evil pirates (people who kill for no reason, or who kill to loot and steal) totally outnumber the righteous protectors in this game? (People who only kill bad people, and usually not for the profit / loot)
What does this say about people in society? That without the constraints of society they do not see the need for a society's general rules against destruction? That they, deep down, are nothing more than primitive animals that eat each other for food and spend all their time fighting and none of it doing productive, long term successful things?
Part of what makes us human is our societies and our order. For as long as there's been soldiers there's been civilians, and the best societies are ones where all the people in it are protected by righteous people.
Perhaps most people are animalistic, and some people are not - these people are the great leaders who can form great societies (like Jesus and George Washington) who fight against the evils of destruction...especially random and wanton destruction that results in heavy losses and few gains...
Not to say that you're "required" to be ethical when playing EVE, but why are so few people ethical when the offical rules say you're allowed to not be? Are you all such blind slaves that you only follow the offical rules, and cannot see the society underneath that can form?
Anyways, perhaps next time you want to "Gank" someone, you should consider how much harder it is to fight those who cause misery, rather than being one of the evil thugs that causes it.
we kill whoever we want we play however we want u do what ever u want we dnt complain get over it and move on eve life or was it use evil pple that kill u?

I had spend my time grinding to earn fake money. If I didn't have the opportunity to spontaneously engage random people. And, if there weren't people naive enough to carelessly fly expensive ships and mods into my little corner of low-sec.
But the icing on the cake is blowing up people like the op. If that makes be a griefer then so be it, but honestly, its golden moments of extreme nerdrage like these that make it all worth doing. |

This post makes me rofl in so many ways.
And I'm technically an "antipirate".
Have you ever seen what 90% of the "righteous protectors" are like? Smacktalking, station hugging, blobbing failures, with no typing skill whatsoever.
As for being an actual AP (not an angry carebear), it's not that much different. If your corp knows what it's doing, it's going to be NBSI for the sake of security anyway, at least in 2 or 3 important systems. There is a distinct difference between securing your space and killing for lulz/profit.

I think the premise that the OP conveys is that this is a reflection on RL. Well in RL you would hurt someone and then be an outlaw, most people are unwilling to do this for personal gain. But then again the old saying "locks keep honest people honest." might be more fitting. Bottom line, it's a game, and it's not real and it does not reflect on someone's RL behavior. I personally find PvP more challenging that PvE. In PvE you read the spoilers, bring the right ship and basically collect your loot. In PvP, you never quite know what you're up against. Like running a race, train train train to either beat them or be beaten by someone with better shoes (i.e. mods/ships...) :) It's a game get over it.

There are more pirates than "police" simply because there is no reward to going after pirates. If CCP would give the bounty hunting system serious attention and give us that would like to play the "hero" a way to actually do it in some meaningful way, then the numbers would equalize.
till that happens, just use your map statistics and fit WCS and nanos/istab when flying in lowsec. so simple to do, yet so few people do it, feeding the pirates at the gates. ::insert witty signature here:: |
