I'm guessing that's nowhere near as pathetic as a coward NPC alt ****-poasting this rubbish.

Lifted from a different thread...

Imagine that ... being anonymous on the internet, but still hiding ...

Hi. I'm Esan Vartesa. Yes, that is a pseudonym that I use in Eve Online.

But in Eve, I am Esan Vartesa. In Eve, you can chase Esan down, gank him, wardec him, grief him, etc.

So while Esan protects the real person controlling him, all value and accomplishments in Eve are entirely invested in him. As such, there is risk in being a total ******.

Hi, I'm NPC-corp alt 274408. Yes, that is a pseudonym of a pseudonym.

In Eve, I'm not actually NPC-corp alt 274408. That character has never actually undocked, so you can't chase him down, gank him, wardec him, grief him, etc.

So while I protect some other character that in turn protects the real person controlling him, all investments and accomplishments in Eve are in no way invested in NPC-corp alt 274408. As such, there is no risk in being a total ******.

This is Eve. No risk without reward.

I don't have a problem.

I think it's funny that people care THAT much about their internet, fake, pseudo self that they hide behind a second fake self to protect it.

It's kind of sad that many people who play EVE care that much about a video game that they are afraid to share their own opinion from their main fake self.

Because people hide behind alts, so their main don't get ridiculed or punished or whatever.

or so the ppl on the forums cant rebuke the argument and take in into game, punishing the character/corp/alliance for what he said out of game


(kinda sounds familiar really)

Most alliances have some standards. In order to uphold them, most discourage their members posting in this cesspit on their mains. It's kind of like local smack.

I've seen plenty of people getting kicked and kicked some myself for shitposting on their mains because it reflects badly on the entire alliance.

Ever heard the phrase "You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk"?

...yah. You wouldn't want anyone to think you were morons.

In other words a player can shoot their mouth off and not have to face the consequences of their actions. Case in point: The quote in the OP was directed at an alt who is calling out pvp'rs and calling them losers, and yet he hides behind anonymity while doing so. Do you see the irony in such an action?

How about this phrase:

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

EVE is a sandbox, what you do has repercussions, you can't hide with name changes like in other MMOs. So, if you post on an anonymous alt, you're considered a coward.

so you agree Mittani should be banned then? Great

People seem to be missing the primary purpose of NPC alts, it allows people to make an argument from authority despite not being an authority on any subject.

Example: NPC corp alt #20025 is arguing over null sec mechanics changes, he will inevitably claim to have been playing since 1984 and have over 9000 confirmed kills. Two sentences later he will demonstrate that he does not understand how bubbles work.

This is, sadly, not a rare occurrence. Calling for NPC corp alts to reveal their main in cases like these is not done to allow us the opportunity for in game reprisals, which quite simply are too much effort, it is done to get the idiots to shut the hell up and stop bad poasting.

Because people hide behind alts, so their main don't get ridiculed or punished or whatever.

What I find funny is when people discount a poster's opinion because they're an "0.0 mission alt". Surely then, the 0.0 player they're a mission alt of knows what goes down in 0.0? Being an alt doesn't mean you don't have access to the knowledge and experience of the main- you're still the same person IRL.

The problem being, when you double wrap your identity, no one knows if you are indeed a 0.0 mission alt, or just some dweep with no clue.

What possible difference does it make if all you're seeing is the content of a forum post?

So speech is actions now?

And is anyone surprised that discourse in American has declined to feral grunts? How could anything else happen when the penalty for words is being attacked by rabid animals?

This includes fired from job/blacklisted/property destruction, you know, the normal stuff.

So speech is actions now?

I try to avoid talking to people who mix things like alt posting and world governments/conspiracies. Please remove me from your calling list.

Well - this is my posting main with its own posting corp.

LCO total SP: 64k, morons. member count: 1.

Yes, yes, grunt and grunt and snarl. Followed by proudly marching off the stage since you can't actually threaten me effectively.

And now propaganda is conspiracy. I mean really. You guys are just so annoying. Yes, American government engages in non-stop propaganda by intimidation. Obviously. I mean really.

"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."-George II

See? All right out in the open. The fangs are bared and right in your face. "They couldn't keep their threats a secret." Well, no, they don't! Google that phase, thousands of hits. I don't see the "secret" part of this "conspiracy". I see the deliberate intimidation. I see the fang-bared snarl for all the world to see. But I do not really see the "secret".

And looking at the Mittani threads it's rather obvious this trait has been noticed by American Goons and copied.

The Mittani can't shut up about how all hit critics need to line up to be harassed out of the game. Cause if they were REAL MEN they'd let him harass them into silence. Fangs bared. He even went after the Massively guy.

Yeah. I got it.

I remain neutral to the Mittani case, leaning heavily towards the do not care side of the scale.

Yet you had enough of an opinion to post here an opinion that shows if you used the same on both cases that he should be banned... after all that would be along the lines of "dont write checks yer ass cant cash"

forum alts are for people who like to say dumb crap on the forums without any way of backing it up with actual experience

"okay thanks for your opinion on supercarriers, it's worthless though because I'm just assuming that you're a worthless miner"

Wrong and you knows it.
Goons are unique. Most alliances will emorage if thier members post here with thier mains. Most alliances see the forums as free intell to CCP, the enemy.

if you're in an alliance that prohibits you from posting on eve-o you should jump ship

can I join yours?

Yeah $15 and joining Something Awful (if they dont just scam you into oblivion)

The other part is most of the time the sockpuppets are posting contentious or things against gameplay. Somebody using multiple sockpuppets can use it to make a situation more volatile.

Is why I post as my main. When I say something in forums, people know where I am coming from, and also should people want to debate, I can say take it to me in game.

Granted that may happen once in a while but usually the sole purpose of wanting to know the main character is so they can exact some type of revenge, thus thinking they have won some great battle. After their revenge is completed, they'll usually post the killmail here in the forums in a vain attempt to cause humiliation. Those actions are intended to berate, demean and ultimately silence that player.

I have no ehonor and hence post on my alt.

If you had any game it wouldn't matter about your honor.

+1 for the use of the word 'fuctards'

I get called an alt even though I'm not an alt!

Have an alt in a corp but the people there are crazy, mean, elite and bitter.

experience a little bit of real life for awhile.

Wait..... EVE is not real life?

Oh my, what am I to do now?

I agree with you 100% you should jump ship aswell. It just seems like goons are only allowed to post the same opinions as the (let me quote Beekeeper Bob) Queen Bee has.

It honestly makes me feel like you are all a bunch of bots with the same personality. I imagine its a goon rule for posting in forums that you all have to seem unified, but your right if an alliance prohibits you from publicly speaking your own opinions you should find a new corp/alliance.

It's called a hive-mind, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

this is actually my main i guess. Have yet to find a normal person or persons to play eve with so i play solo. Have an alt in a corp but the people there are crazy, mean, elite and bitter.

I don't have a problem.
