Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.18 16:55:00 - [1] Originally by: Tchell Dahhn Originally by: Alowishus You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. They're making life easier for most of their paying customers, a byproduct of this is making life harder for a small minority of their paying customers. Every day I wonder if a new shard called EvE Offline, where Missioning and Mining are the only options, and farts smelled like bubblegum, wouldn't make a smart idea. "Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service" Don't forget to "extract and reclaim" that carebear tear off your chin. Should fuel your ship quite nicely .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.19 12:17:00 - [2] Edited by: Matrix Skye on 19/12/2008 12:24:23 Originally by: Le Skunk Yes - people come to low sec to mission, (lol) mine (lol no really), rat (lolers) and sit in safes (rofldeedee). Have you even ever ever wondered why low sec is so empty? Quote: Making it easier to get into low sec will boost safespot piracy.. hoorah! You should try being sarcastic more often. It's about the only times you're ever right and make a little sense . Quote: The only way to live off piracy is to catch and grind to dust every last mo-fo who jumps through that gate - and leg it if anything approaching a fight comes your way. And you're still wondering why low sec is deserted? Seriously, you are the living epiphany of what a crying, whining, moaning, never-adapting, "it's-always-all-about-me", laughable carebear pirate (cryrat) mentality present in this thread. Quote: And dont give me that hackneid old line "IF YOU OVERFISH THEN YOU WONT GET ANY TARGETS!!" It makes too much sense. I could see why YOU'd refute that. Quote: Eve players are not fish. They dont come into low sec and mate and multiply. The only quota i find acceptable is 100% of pilots I see. Ok, when people equate mission runners as fish in the ocean, they're speaking metaphorically. See, a metaphor is... Oh nevermind. You wouldn't understand . Quote: All you dudes wittering on about "that awesom 1v1 frig fight I had in a belt last night" aint making a living of piracy. Youve got a dirty mission runner alt sat somewhere chruning the isk out in high sec. SKUNK Your genuine despise and misery for the high sec missioner fuels my ship .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.19 14:21:00 - [3] I'll rehash what you want to hear: "Low sec is underpopulated because those filthy mission runners and despicable carebears rather stay in high sec than come play with my lAz0Rz oF dEaTh at the gate I'm camping. Yes, I will hump anything that jumps through the gate, but my brain just cannot wrap around the fact on why oh why isn't anything jumping through." Do you feel better now, cryrat?
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.19 15:03:00 - [4] I think we could all use a hug around here. C&P is too tense sometimes. So yes, I accept your hug. Thank you :)
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.19 20:43:00 - [5] Didn't mean to crush that sensitive cryrat ego of yours. You carebear pirates are just way too emo.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.19 21:15:00 - [6] Originally by: Jared D'Uroth Well, let me tell YOU something Mr. Bear. It's VERY hard to make isk being a pirate. There is no reason to give pirates drawbacks, because there hasn't been much reward! Every module in a ship has only 1/2 chance of dropping. Oh boy that's wonderful. I get to scoop about 3m worth of stuff. Oh no, you poor thing! It really MUST be hard being a pirate. I mean, picking up that crappy loot and all, the horror . Quote: And that's if you're lucky. You might suggest ransoms? Well, MANY people refuse/can't pay them because of their honor or something. I know people that when faced with losing 300m of goodies or "letting the pirates win" and giving them 50 million will often go with losing their goods(which the pirates get half of anyway). Piracy is considered a profession, and as such you should be able to MAKE (decent) MONEY from it, just like trading or mission running. Ever occurred to you why players ain't paying ransoms? Here's a tip, lazy cryrat: Ask some of the most successful pirate corps out there how they're doing it (HINT, Veto., HINT)
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.24 14:35:00 - [7] The only thing piracy needs is for pirates to start cracking down on pirates that dishonor ransoms. You want to make iskies from pirating? ASK. FOR. RANSOM. PERIOD. "NO! I want pretty s'plosions!" Then stop whining you cant make iskies. You cant cus you're blowin' da booty to bits, FFS! A boost to piracy is a nerf to carebearism. A nerf to carebearism is a nerf to piracy. A nerf to piracy is, well, a nerf to piracy . ^^ Read that twice, three times, however many times you need to read it to understand that boosting piracy won't help you get more targets in the long run.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 14:13:00 - [8] Except some crybabies aren't profiting from it because they're more interested in killmails. And then they come to whine on the forums that piracy isn't profitable.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 16:28:00 - [9] Edited by: Matrix Skye on 29/12/2008 16:44:11 Originally by: Alowishus Fail.Eve is not a solo game. CCP has made this clear many, many times. You have no clue what you're talking about. Just another nobody telling everyone how to play the game and how you would label them. Get a clue plz thx. I love it when crybaby carebearing clueless pirates spew nonsense sentences and slap em together. Even though there are things that require group-oriented play not everything in Eve is to be played in groups. You play Eve however you want to play it as long as you follow their rules. If you wanna play solo go right ahead. You know, you should follow your own advice Just because YOU fail at solo doesn't mean everyone else does, or that they should be nerfed due to your incompetence and inadequecy.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 18:42:00 - [10] Oh please. You're not "pirates". You're more carebears than the carebears you despise . Especially you two, Nexus and Allowishus. You *** and whine on how your piwatty pwofession is huwting and in need of wuv and fwuff. Me? I just love your so-called pirate** tears.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 19:12:00 - [11] Don't come here pretending like it's your first time posting, cryrat. I've seen your your posts. I've read the ** you write about anyone you deem not playing the game "right", according to you. I do what I do to crybabies like you precisely because of your limited view of this game. You want me to dig up your anticarebear rhetoric and crap full of personal insults to anyone remotely resembling a carebear? Sure I'll do it. Prove to me I won't just be wasting my time and pay me, since I know once your ** is out you'll just end up sprinkling it with some more of your "rightous" antics. I take aim at you because I know who you are, cryrat. And you're no innocent bystander.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 19:25:00 - [12] Quite the opposite, I think I was hugged way too much .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 19:27:00 - [13] Edited by: Matrix Skye on 29/12/2008 19:29:59 Originally by: Tchell Dahhn Edited by: Tchell Dahhn on 29/12/2008 19:25:42 Originally by: Larkonis Trassler I think someone wasn't hugged enough as a child. It's either that, or the exact opposite. "Please, Mr. Skye... Show us on the doll exactly where The United touched you..." ^^ This Mrs, it's where they didn't touch me that hurts the most Seriously, according to all you cryrats I've been "touched" by all. United, Ninjas, TRAPS, Pandemic. Your egoes and epeens just somehow manage to stroke each other without the need of anyone else doin' it for ya eh?
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 19:33:00 - [14] Originally by: Ren Surkova Originally by: Matrix Skye cryrat you really want this to catch on, don't you? it's convoluted and kind of hard to use it without coming across as the hurtest butt, you should save face and never use it again. But "carebear". Now there's a word that commands admiration and respect to the users of, amirite? Mirrors folks. Ever think of using them? Ever think of taking a look on them?
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 19:46:00 - [15] Edited by: Matrix Skye on 29/12/2008 19:51:50 Originally by: Ren Surkova yeah, because established parlance that's been in common usage for years is definitely in the same tier as the awkward, bitter label you're trying to establish. stones and glass houses, people! Established parlance? Tell me, will you use 3L1T3 5PE4K once it makes a comeback? It's not my fault you're following the ret**ded memes of the int3rnets. Though it is amusing to know you're one of the idiots that sits in a chair admiring the brilliance of internet "established parlances" Would it be better if I used j00 n00b? Or is that not established enough yet?
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 19:56:00 - [16] Oh come on! Am I gonna have to head to Didoxie to make it true? It's just so far away from where I am. Couldn't we just agree on it?
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 20:20:00 - [17] Wow! I really hurt your esteem pretty bad eh.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 20:30:00 - [18] Hold on a sec. Am I live on this story? Hello?
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 20:31:00 - [19] This is getting scary. I don't wanna play anymore .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 21:56:00 - [20] Originally by: Alowishus Once again, utter BS. Please dig up my "anticarebear" rhetoric. I have no problem with how anyone plays this game. Sorry to disappoint you. I have a problem when people judge the way I play. Or how anyone plays. The only people I've ever judged are the ones who don't take the initiative when it comes to their own safety and then blame pirates/"griefers"/me/CCP/whoever for their problems. Those are the only people who I detest. More often then not they are industrialists ("carebears"- a term you will rarely find me using). Now please stop being an idiot for once. Here's you broadstroking mission runners. Here's you demeaning carebears. Here's you defending gatecamping and bashing those that annoy gatecampers. This is a gem quite frankly. Very hypocritical. I loved it . Here's some more love from you to mission runners... Just a few easily scratched from eve-search... It seems you really have it mostly for mission runners though .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.29 23:25:00 - [21] Yep, Ofcourse, friendly banter here... Just some truth here, sprinkled with alittle lighten up over here... Didn't expect you to actually live up to what you post. Another hypocrit so-called pirate . Yes, ofcourse you have nothing against mission runners. And the guy from Pandemic, wow, I really must have ticked you off, dude . I just love bringing the best out of supposedly the mature playerbase of Eve.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 14:43:00 - [22] Originally by: Shiho Weitong I actually think you're agreeing with me. A 20-way split on a single haul isn't profitable. Which is why it's not a pirates bread and butter, but even pirates needs friends to profit better, and this is an easy way of getting into contact with people. I don't like the idea of gatecamps as an income source myself, but if that's what's rocking peoples boats.... I am not a pirate myself. (yet) I just think the label is being misused, glorified, misrepresented, romantiziced and generally misunderstood. If your not making a profit (afore mentioned 20 way split) you should do something else. ninja-ed: spotted something. And by the way. I'm not trying to justify anything. People can do what they want, but if they're not profiting and living of their illegal activities, they're not pirates, just thugs. You hit the nail in the head. There really aren't many "true" pirates, in the sense of plunder for riches in Eve. What we do have lots of is self-proclaimed "pirates" doing mindless shooting and worrying more about killmails and how to aggravate and grief their targets rather than make a profit from it. And then they wonder why piracy isn't profitable. And like you said, to each his own. But the mindless whining is ridiculous.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 15:09:00 - [23] And since when is trolling whining? Don't get me wrong, I don't deny who and what I am. And rest assured I enjoy your tears just as much as you enjoy the carebears'. But to say I'm whining when I troll you or other griefers just goes to show I lead you to just about picking up any stone in site and throwing it at me. And that makes me all fuzzy and warm inside. I <3 you, Tchell. Keep feeding me pleez :D.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 15:24:00 - [24] The fact I have you behind me barking at me like a chihuahua everywhere I go, is quite a compliment, to say the least. And coincidentally, Isn't that what you'd say about any victim of yours when you get a reaction from them after your griefing? Ah yes, that's different... Because... It's you... Amirite? Personally, I love your hypocrisy. It amuses me. It's what C&P is all about \o/
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 15:32:00 - [25] Originally by: Tchell Dahhn I play EvE the way I want, and I enjoy the game. What more is there? Excellent, then you will have no qualms with how I choose to play the forums games. Cheers!
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 15:40:00 - [26] Originally by: Tchell Dahhn I've never said otherwise, nor made any request for you to stop. Just don't tread on the domain of tear extraction with incorrect statements, or else I'll slap you down. Again. But you don't get it. That IS my fun, you silly silly, pirate. and they're not incorrect statements. You ARE a carebear. You HATE on carebears. Just because you blind yourself into thinking anything else really isn't my problem, Tchell. You grief carebears. I grief griefers. We both enjoy what we do. Don't get hissy fits when I ** on you, especially when you're about **ing on others. That's just hypocrisy, Tchell .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 15:54:00 - [27] Edited by: Matrix Skye on 30/12/2008 15:55:16 Alowishus: Well, I'd say I'm worth lots of your time considering you're posting here with me. At worst I'd say it's a love-hate relationship. Probably more love than hate eh? . Just sit back and enjoy the love, cryrat. And yes, I know, I know. It's only uber intelligent smack and grief when you deliver it. It's useless crap when it's done to you. Hmm, I wonder if your victims would consider your grief clever... Hmmm.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 15:57:00 - [28] Wow, Tchell I wouldn't think you'd get it, but you did! Yes, you're exactly that, a carebear-pirate. Congratulations! See? We're making progress here :) It's all good.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 16:13:00 - [29] Well, good to see you enjoy the company of ret**ded people. Perhaps you and me have more in common than you initially thought? I think I'm making progress with you as well, Alowishus .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 16:39:00 - [30] Originally by: Alowishus Perhaps. I came to the realization that it was hypocritical of me to expect more intelligence on the forums than I do in the game. Now I will treat the two much more similarly. The rest of your post was utter crap. But the bold part... I'm all teary-eyed here. I'm so proud of you.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 16:48:00 - [31] Originally by: My'kel An'jelo But that's not the point you were trying to make. You were mangling the English language in an embarrassing attempt to say that he was hypocritical because he called people carebears but is a carebear himself (???? this **** doesn't make sense btw). And now he's just said that he's hypocritical because he expected more intelligence from forum posters as opposed to people playing the game. Those are two different things. Jesus, you're thick. Nexus, per chance are you taking the forums a bit too seriously? I'm dissapointed .
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 16:52:00 - [32] Oh I see it now. So your post wasn't serious. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 16:57:00 - [33] No... u
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.30 17:08:00 - [34] Originally by: My'kel An'jelo Edited by: My''kel An''jelo on 30/12/2008 16:59:11 Originally by: Le Poupon The thread went epic. The basic ideology of religion teaches perspectives of good and evil is a posotive aspect the faults in the ideology (irony or paradox?) are in the fact that what is a grey area is pushed to a certainty with the use of morality. However the fabrics of society that define morality are constantly changing and thus an ideology as strict as religion becomes dangerous. Therefore either social advance goes or religion goes. Itsnot possible for both to exist together without everything becomeing a grey area and thus creating an arachcic system where religions battle each other about ideologies Did it hurt when you went fae first into THE WALL OF TEXT So you don't think that you can teach a children right and wrong without referring to Jesus? WALL OF TEXT STATUS : OWNED You set that strawman up all by yourself? Oh my! How will you ever knock it?
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.02 16:53:00 - [35] What I find hilarious is that carebears are accused of being risk-averse, usually maximizing profit for less risk. Funny how that definition fits perfectly with what some of you define piracy in this thread. Yet more proof that high sec "pirates" are really disguised carebears.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.02 23:00:00 - [36] Wasn't referring to you, Allowishus. There are many idiots that look down on carebears precisely because they minimize risk/maximize profit. I didn't imply you were one of them.
Matrix Skye Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.03 01:43:00 - [37] Edited by: Matrix Skye on 03/01/2009 01:44:25 Originally by: Sedious Bloke Just had to stop by and say this is the most ****ed ** I've read in the past hour gj NOOO! After everything you and I have been through! How could you say that? My heart hurts and it's not gas. I look up to you, man. Please take it back :(
