Crime & Punishment

Points for being more eloquent than Fabulos Rod, but you aren't much better at making your case.

Urm, I don't actually have a "case" is probably the reason for that.

All I'm doing is attempting to get people to see things from a different angle, some people will... most people won't, it won't matter either way, I'm not posting to prove a point or in protest to anything per se.

furthermore, the questions I ask are NOT rhetorical, I am actually looking for answers if you can provide them. But mainly I'm just looking for someone to say to themselves "hmm, I never thought about it like that"

You see, to me, I really don't care much for these forum wars, the whole to and fro of pointless debate between two or more parties that will never meet nor agree, I am posting more for my own reasons, I saw behaviour on a forum I found odd, in defiance of reason and logic, and so I posted in an attempt to better understand this behaviour.

I believe in understanding the world in which I live, the motivations and the actions of those I share this world with, In this case I spend time playing EVE Online, and therefore am interested in the motivations and actions of others who also choose to play EVE Online. Since I believe knowledge should always be given freely to those who seek it, I attempted to educate others as to my way of thinking while attempting to understand another way of thinking. a tit for tat arrangement if you will :P

Let me ask a question you won't be able to answer to finalize all this and end my involvement in this thread maybe then will you see my "case"

I play EVE Online for the enjoyement of myself AND OTHERS, the OP plays EVE Online for the enjoyement of himself AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS, which of these two behaviours is the right one?

If I understood your post correctly, you seem to have made the mistake of thinking my playstyle and the things I do, or do not do in EVE will change my philosophy towards playing a game, or that in some way this philosophy guides the options I have in the game, it does not.

I do not mine in EVE because I don't want to annoy anyone as your post seems to suggest. I am just as capable as blowing up a miners ship as the OP is, the only difference is in doing so I do not attempt to infuriate or otherwise annoy my target, this to me is not a valid goal of the game, this to me is not fun, I would also not then proceed to a forum and tell everyone who will read about my exploits using racial and religiously insenitive language in a further attempt to extract fun from the situation. It is THIS behaviour that confuses me, and this behaviour I seek to understand.



It is highly possible I will never understand the compulsion to "extract tears" from other players, this is possibly a blessing in its own right. My enjoyement of EVE Online will NEVER be contingent on the misery of those I play with. And to those for who it will, I shall pity knowing they can never truely win in there game.

Ahem.

My eloquent response is.......

umad bro?

Also, HTFU, GTFO, and other cool 4 letter acronyms.

I don't need to do it myself when surrounded by those who are already doing it. The day I derive my fun in EVE from annoying others will be the day after I stop playing EVE, If thats how you want to play however, then good for you. It's clear that this behaviour cannot be adequately explained even by those taking part in it, so I am losing interest.

"When you search for answers the only true obstacle will be idiocy"



Yes, yes I am mad, mad, mad, mad as a box of hammers. But apparently you don't care about that because your post isn't very long.

"There comes a time when you look back at the decisons you made, the time you spent, and the people you have met, if you could jump to that moment today, would it change the rest of your life?"

True. Though to find this idiocy, I would look in a mirror first. Operator Error is the biggest contributor to fail in the world today.



Confirming long posts are caring posts. This is why Twitter=Uncaring Fucktards.




This almost brought a tear to my eye. Almost. But then I saw some puppies and the tears never came. However, to answer the question? No. Every time I look back, I realize those moments were what changed the rest of my life. Looking back on them just prolongs getting to the next one.

It doesn't need to be measurable for it to be caused by operator error.

No, it wouldn't, because, see...

...Video-games and events through/in same just aren't all that world-shattering. Hate to break it to you, but they just aren't.

Next!

And so no one will care when you pass away, unless you can show me some reason for somebody to care.

WOOT.
