Why does 90% of this forum have no concept of irony?

To me, it just seems really really odd that somebody would choose to play a character from a society that's basically diametrically opposed to their own political beliefs.

I apologize sincerely for this post.


I believe in true communism. Did I do it right?

Because people obviously always play themselves in role playing games.

I KNOW I KNOW WHY! But you gotta sit first.

Quote:
Your First Ship

The best mining ship for starters is without a doubt the Caldari Bantam. Take note that the Bantam is NOT the only capable mining frigate. The Gallente for example, have the Navitas. Each race has its mining frigate, so if you do not wish to cross-train for Caldari if you aren't Caldari already, you should go through the frigates' descriptions in the database to find the mining frigate of your race. Arguably though, the Caldari have the best mining cruiser (more later), so it makes sense to start with them.

Okay, by the way, I chose "liberal" because it was the easiest and most distinct opposite to draw to a faction to Eve - the Caldari. I didn't mean anything against anyone or any political stance in any way. People have been getting a little pissy about this. Yeah, it's politics. It was just the easiest and quickest thing to draw - "oh hey super right-wing industriofascists..." - though I thought that would be obvious. And it wasn't meant to line up to any super investigation of reasoning. Quick and dirty for a point.

Oh well. I guess what I mean to say is that if you're going to continue not getting the fact that this whole thread was made ironically (TM), just play nice, sheesh.

Whoops.

I put the TM there because I felt like I've been saying it far too much recently and had better make sure nobody appropriates such a valuable commodity from a murky soul like myself.

Whoops.

Accusing people of being Role Players is not irony. It's a serious accusation that can, and has, lead to duels, deaths, and flame-wars.

You, sir, are the one who is acting like a spoiled Amarr child with your first slave. What you think of irony and humor comes across as a display of unbelievable callousness and disregard of human rights, not because you're evil, but because your sick, twisted society has failed to instill any concept of empathy towards your fellow man. Next, you'll be telling us that some of your best friends are NASCAR team owners as well?

Who do you think runs my alts, and what do you think pays for my PLEXes?
I thought that was a given. I've won at life and now I'm moving on to Eve.

Whoops.

Huh? The Gallente allow civilians to own assault weapons. Classical Liberals or Libertarians maybe, but not what liberals represent today, in EVE all those people are likely long dead.
