In fact, pretty much nothing in the scenario you described was correct for how things work in EVE.

So in Tippia's world......


I tell another person: Hi! I'm going to kill you in one hour. The good news is, I'm giving you 3 options as to how I'll kill you.

Oh JOY! Yes, I'm going to die, he says, but at least I have three options as to how!!!

Why is the total number of "likes received" a poster has inversely proportional to the quality of posts one makes?

Actually, it's pretty much spot on. As I've said, I've played for over 5 years off and on, and unlike you, I've never spent any of that time trying to get SEVEN THOUSAND people to like the posts I make on the forums.

Nope.

What you just described is your world. Don't try to hang it around my neck because I have nothing to do with it.

…and yet you have no idea how EVE works. For instance, you think there is such a thing as “respeccing”. For another, you think you have to do it to change your tactics or employ any specific set of tools. Then, there's the issue that you are not considering the full breadth of options available to you, or understanding what your actual problem is.

Again: your bad decisions are not game problems. The most fundamentally flawed decision in this case seems to be that you are looting to begin with…

You know the phrase 'jack of all trades, master of none'?

You want 'jack of all trades, master of all too'.

Sorry, not gonna get it.

pretty much, it's just embarrassing to see him trying to maintain the facade that he's actually serious.



on the slim chance that he's actually serious, well, it's still embarrassing, knowing that someone like him is of the same specie as me.

Uh for some reason it switched the author, but this is still Maximum Entropy obviously,

but I just had to say, if you say that about me I can't imagine what you'd say about someone like, oh I don't know, a certain WWII instigator.

So because somebody did it first, you now have license to do it as well?

Come on, man, if someone attacks you, don't fall to their level. Just keep your head up and ignore it.

Do you have any examples? I see plenty of people calling you stupid because they think your ideas are silly; I don't see so many claiming that your ideas are silly because you are stupid.

The former isn't really an ad hominem; the latter is.

I'm sure he will. Especially if he follows these simple rules for being loved on the forums:

Always support CCP's decisions, no matter what.

Anytime someone posts a valid point, or a good idea, accuse them of trolling.

Anytime someone is trolling, accuse them of trolling.

Never challenge the status quo, or conventional wisdom, unless the majority of FORUM users, as opposed to people who play the game, disagree with it.

Make sure 80% of your posts are smiley bumps.

…except that most of my likes come from me not supporting their decisions and being quite vocal about it. They'd probably be double what I currently have if the forums had been in working order during Incarna.

Quote:

…except that I don't call people trolls (especially if they're trolling), but rather argue the points they're trying to make, since they are rarely valid or particularly good. Arguing is more fun than just dismissing people.

Quote:
Anytime someone is trolling, accuse them of trolling.
…except that my tactic for trolls is to treat them as if they were serious because for every actual troll, there are ten people who genuinely think the troll's hilariously bad idea is a good idea. Arguing their ideas with the troll as a proxy is just more efficient.

Quote:
Never challenge the status quo, or conventional wisdom, unless the majority of FORUM users, as opposed to people who play the game, disagree with it.
…except that the conventional wisdom usually isn't wise, and that I'm quite fond of demonstrating this, and except that the challenging the status quo requires some reasoning and I challenge those who offer none. If you come up with a good argument why the status quo needs to change, then I'll gladly support it.
