Crime & Punishment

I suggest that the OP uses all legal means necessary to teach Theory,
as example for others and to prevent that he will do it again,
that there is a line he shouldnt cross.

Furthermore, its not me painting you ... you are doing it yourself.

Anyway, besides that, i would really like to know how you can make your promise actual reality and what kind of compensation you can offer in case your promise didnt actually work as expected.

What promise are you blathering about?

Fixed your post.

Ah, my bad. Posting on a small tablet, mixed the quotes. ^_^

Some of us have no problems separating real life from a game, Eve brings out the darker side of human nature and allows you to delight in being underhanded, deceitful, and otherwise a nasty person. This does not mean we're the same in real life.

Some of the so called sickos are amongst the most helpful people in the game, to those that display the right attitude when they explode. If you going to cry and throw a tantrum in local or private chat, you should expect people to ridicule you for it. However if you ask pertinent questions and display a positive attitude about your recent explosion then you usually get decent answers, helpful advice and occasionally your ship replaced.

If anyone has a problem it's the guy that took it into the real world, taking an internet spaceships grudge that far is totally out of order. If people can't separate virtual worlds and the real world then they should GTFO of whatever virtual world they're in.

Real life stalking because of a game is extremely wrong, and IMHO should be a bannable offence.

You're well known as an intellectual puppet of James' merry band, so I shouldn't even bother to reply, but you people seem so hyped up to label me, despite numerous statements in the past, as approving of the stalking. So I'll just rebut your statement here.



Indeed. As I said before. Murder in eve does not mean you'd murder in the real. But taking joy from wringing someone for tears at a loss even after a few days of it, just to get them to react, is wrong, and anyone who does that is mostly likely not a pleasant person in the real. Try to defend it all you like, but it's simple logic. Your actions in a game are not magically disconnected from you.



Indeed they are. A lot of PvPers are still quite helpful to their victims and I am forever grateful that they maintain that. However, the culture of tear collection is making this type of glorious PvP'er a rare breed. If someone whines or cries, sure some teasing is in order. Continuing to the point where they rage hard, and you STILL egg them on? That's your fault.



The same could be said for griefers enjoying their victims pain and grief IRL. If you take such joy in causing pain, you should take a step back and check yourself.



Yes it should, as should the person trolling hard enough for making the person do such horrid things IRL. Both are responsible.

If you want to look at a case where something's been taken out of context and blown out of all proportion, read back through your own posts and reflect on them awhile.

My in game activities say nothing about the person behind my character. My motivations and actions within this game do not reflect those I posses and enact in real life. I find it laughable that you sit in this thread, pontificating about the low moral fibre of those who upset the 'victim', and yet appear to be blissfully ignorant of the ramifications of his subsequent actions and everything they say about him.

You're evidently unable to separate reality from game, and consider them both to be equally as important, in much the same way as the aforementioned 'victim'.

Either that or you're a Class A troll.

And you seem incapable of understanding that your actions as a player do carry over to real life. If you were running around screaming IM A POD PILOT LOOK AT MY SHIP, then I would admit yes you have a problem separating a game from reality. But your interactions with other people (being causing grief and enjoying it) in an MMORPG, the actions YOU take as a player, as a person, reflect your character.

And it does not reflect well. Just because you act in a horrid manner in a game does not give you a free pass for your actions.

Theory666 went from his ship being blown up to trying to find personal details in under 30 minutes. I know I'm only seeing one side of the story, but that doesn't leave much room for 'trolling'.

I do agree that some people can go too far when harvesting the tears, and I think Skunkworks went too far in this case. I think they should've told 666 how to leave corp when he asked the first time, or at least when it became evident that he was a bit unhinged, coz after that it was kinda like bullying.

When someone sheds a couple of in-game tears a bit, that's fun. When someone keeps on crying, and gets more and more angry, then that's a sign that you're causing them real mental anguish (no matter how ludicrous the circumstances might be), and should stop that crud immediately.

None of that justifies RL harassment, btw. And the whole mental anguish thing is a bit of a grey area in EVE. I bet a corp losing all its assets to a theft causes far more mental anguish, and CCP endorse that kind've thing.

Yes, it does, it's a ******* game you utter spanner.

This is my last post on the subject as you're evidently upset.
