EVE General Discussion

See, that's the problem with underlings these days. They always question orders.
If I say jump, you jump and don't waste time asking silly questions.

Uh huh, I've read what everyone has to say on this matter.
Newsflash: It's opinions. And in the case of Riptar, a well respected CSM member, it was a big fat lie.
What Mynna thinks happened in the case of some internal GSF politics/ego battle is of no consern to me nor to the topic of this thread.

If you want to start a new campaign against Erotica 1 (God knows why you are so eager to do so?) Start your own thread but better not on these forums because CCP will lock that baby before you can say :butthurt ero-hater:

What I want to know is why is winning not enough? Why do some people feel that once they have blown up someone’s ship or scammed all their assets they must then go on to inflict humiliation on their victim as well?

When a ganker targets a mission runners shiney fit ship he has a fairly complex logistical task to assemble a gang to make the hit. It is definitely not as easy as many hisec dwellers would like to think to get a dozen characters into gank fit ships and locate them so that they can apply max dps instantly, all without tripping any alarms or alerting the target.

I’m not saying its rocket science or anything, but it definitely isn’t as easy as some people claim.

So anyway, the gank group is ready, the missioner turns up and gets popped. Maybe he gets podded too. The gankers go down in a blaze of condordokken and the swag man scoops the loot. Transaction complete, the gankers have won the mission runner has lost and emergent gameplay has taken place.

Why at this point do so many players feel the need to taunt their victim? Why do they have this sick urge to humiliate the guy they just beat?

I was a rugby player in my youth and that’s where I learned about sportsmanship. During the game you beat the crap out of the opposition, and they did the same to you. When the final whistle went everybody was friends and both teams went to the bar to celebrate. The victors were modest, the losers were magnanimous and a good time was had by everyone.

I suppose the world has moved on some since my rugby playing days, but one thing I do know is that this sick need to humiliate someone you just beat does not exist in real life to anything like the extent it exists in EVE Online. If people behaved like that in the real world they would quickly lose friends and accumulate bruises.

The anonymous nature of online gaming allows players to behave in this way with relative impunity, however just because you CAN do something does not mean that you SHOULD do it.

What boasts specifically and in what way was he shitting up the forums as you put it that were so bad that you had to kick from the entire GSF twice and not just ban him from the forums?

Ok, let's continue on this, I love it.

Where are ALL the members of Goonswarm sorced again?
Have you read what is posted on those forums.
Don't you agree that asking to sing songs is peanuts compared to the utterly despicable trash, hate and sycophant drivel that is posted there?

Does it not break every single rule in the TOS/EULA of EVE online, yet all those players are fine and dandy additions to our playerbase?

D.

First, I'm grossly disappointed that you angry nerds haven't gotten this to 400 pages yet.

Secondly, have any of you really thought through what kind of (impossible) task CCP would face if assets could be shifted around and accounts could be banned simply by providing a recording of some out-of-game conversation? There are several dozens of ways that such recordings could be used to scam other players, solicit donations on the basis of manufactured tragedies, and even fool CCP into taking actions for violations of the TOS/EULA that never took place.

Recordings are very easy to create, and very easy to edit. CCP has no way to verify that the players on an out-of-game recording truly are who they say they are, or that the events which the recording appears to document actually took place.

Even if this specific case is based upon a valid recording that all parties agree is accurate, that doesn't mean that the next one (or the hundreds of recordings that would follow) would be.

Hmm?

Im pretty sure Burgess wasnt referring to you

Although within the context of the text and this thread, you would fit the mould, at least of the Good Man, if not God

Why are you projecting stuff onto me?

I'll paste what I said:

I've underlinde what you choose to cherry-pick from it.
Is it not true? Does Mynna's opinion and actions in the GSF recruitment politics have anything to do with someone singing songs on teamspeak and getting mad?

Yeah... thought so: Nothing. So it is.... wait for it.... of no concern at all. Thanks.

Edit: EVEN GOONS SAY THE SAME THING I DO.
Go tell them how they are wrong, please. It'll be hilarious!
