My Feelings Are Hurt

I don't understand the hostility here. We live in a universe where our dreams are our boundaries, riches are limitless and space is big enough for a man to spread his arms, puff out his chest and breath deep and still people are so defensive. Why would so many of you be scared of a slave? Do you actually think I am superior? Will knocking me down satisfy you about yourself? Are you afraid you will work for me or rent from me? Does that look in my eyes echo your own bewilderment at the plethora of options available to you? Or are you just stuck in your own dreams, small as they are to pop a frigate or a rock?

But I digress. What I'm really wondering about is how you shape and mold your dreams, What drives you to advance? Is it all about the ISK, the space, the ship? Or is it to have more friends, less friends? Are you all about making EVE a better place? Or is your heaven making it even worse?

I like to perfect a process a ship or a structure or framework. Perhaps you do too. But to what end? Do the Angels really see that my thinning them out leaves more for them. Do asteroids dream and do their endorphins flush when I pop them? Do Ice cubes squeal in space like cubes on a griddle? Whats it look like from the other side?

These things I need to know.

For you, my friend, allow me to present Exile. I think this little pill will help you open your mind to the frames of reference that you seek.

It may be the other way around, comrade.

You can't breathe deeply in space, there's no oxygen....

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"

Dear Mum,

I've met a man who says he can help me.
He made me think of happier times back home.
In a flash, I saw it was all a dream..
Or, was it?

For most people, it's making your game experience as miserable as possible. And I'm not using the generic "you". I mean you personally.

In space, nobody can hear you scream unless you're transmitting on the right radio frequency.

We need to face the fact that real justice is a douchebag getting shot in the face.

So stop being hurt and start shooting.

I totally agree! 100%! (Now that I've said it, do I get a share of the drugs? ...please?).

If you are allowed to be a murdering, thieving, scamming, killing, stealing, lying bastard..... Why aren't we allowed to cheat?

Making it better or worse depends on who's viewing that. I kill people for no other reason than that i think it's funny. The rage and they stamp their feet, and i just stand back and watch. Some see me as making it a better place weeding out those that will rage quit or not.

You'd think i'd make few friends doing what i do. I actually have a nice social circle of equally dysfunctional people like myself that i chat and blow **** up with. I think it's what you do and where you look for them.

And to quote the Black Rabbits, "It's not about the money".

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool, or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant: "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor.

Well, you can, but you may find the results... uncomfortable.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Put it out the airlock. The freeze-dried remains are quite tasty. Cool
