Warfare & Tactics

Sigh...yes, it is commonplace. Those are just a few of my reasons for playing. I have a ton more. So will everyone else. So trying to pin labels on people doesn't really work as depending on weather, time of day, mood or if they think little green men really exist, they will have multiple reasons too.

Of course you do get the weirdest bunch of all, the psychologists. No-one really knows why they bother logging in.

All I heard was saliva.

U seem a little mad bra... "beneath the surface" I detect some goon hate.


How is that for analysis.



Now here is where you say that you're not mad, and you call me a poopy face again.

Welp, you fail badly at analysis and therefore pretty much suck at psychoanalyzing in your OP if you can't even get that right. Find a new hobby.

I fly with goons everyday and just love helping them burn the North and kill Russians.

I think Goons are fine upstanding members of the EVE community and get a bad rap from those that just don't 'get them'.

And seriously? That the best meme you can come up with? U mad bra?

I thought you might be more intelligent than that but seems I was wrong. Oh well, time to go find someone with some sense.

Toodle pip.

LMAO! Wonder how long I can keep this going now?

Don't think I called you a 'poopy face' in my post? Fail number one. Fail number two, you couldn't make me 'mad' even if you tried dude

You are so full of fail that it's not even funny. Your predictions were wrong. Still think you should try a new hobby, you are horrible at this one.

Ok, double or quits? Predict what I am going to do next, now that would be impressive.

lol I made it easy for you and you still failed. No, I went to sleep. Keep on trying though, it amuses me no end.

I am pretty sure you are also trolling.

Oh and your return key is broken. No need to thank me, just a free service I offer douchebags that I am far superior to.

I predict you will post here once more to justify your trolololol existance rather than take the moral high ground and walk away.

Over to you, my psychobabble buddy!

Im unique - just like everybody else.

People play for their own reasons. Why does the reason matter? Its all some form of escape - and allows you for some moment to be something you are not in the real world. Escapisim and role play are necessary to all humans - ancient, modern, young, old, healthy, sick (sorry to hear Messenger), rich or poor, successful or downtrodden. All types watch movies and read books and become sports fans - which are similar forms of escape. Video games like eve are more akin to hiking, painting, playing sports, and knitting - still escapisim - but the escapee has some influence on the outcome. That is why I prefer those types at least (though I do enjoy a good movie or book still).

Regardless of the role they play in-game: Lemming, Maker, Soldier, Spy (or psuedo-space philosopher like OP), it is hogwash in the extreme to believe that is some predictor of how they are in the real world. Space dictators can be bag boys, and space lemmings can be millionaires. Likewise, people who understand how to manipulate others and topple space Empires can have lots of free time because they arent working. They would never behave that way in the real world. Success/failure in Eve does not translate over. You know how to manipulate/influence people in a Video game. Nothing more.

TLDR: Its a game, enjoy it as such. Choose your role and have fun. But dont presume you are some hot-**** in the real world or have unlocked the secrect to the human condition if you have created/toppled empires here. Literally, your accomplishments can be undone by someone hitting a DELETE key somewhere. Its pretend. That is why it is fun. Just enjoy it for what it is and dont over analyze it. Have fun. ;)

Actually, I happen to think that perhaps psychology is worthwhile though it could use a more scientific outlook. Until a better way comes along though we're stuck with it. My bet is that neuroscience will overtake it eventually.

However, calling some random Internet guy's attempt to psycho-analyze everyone in the world based on no more information than that they do or don't play an MMO and for how long though is about as psychological as you attempting to psycho-analyze me because I sardonically called it a bunch of BS. It's facile projection, which was proven out; dude's unhappy with his lot and I really don't blame him. I'm empathetic, but that doesn't mean his "psychological" statements have any value.

I really hope you guys don't take your useless blathering as seriously as you seem to.

Exactly, and that is why it is important. That is where latent tendencies can manifest themselves in an environment free of consequence. But I don't feel like explaining to you why, it is too tiresome dealing with tiny-closed minds. Maybe you can use google if your curious about it?







You simply have too small of a view is all, and I did not say anything about success or failure in eve. Go back and read it again, and try watching the video.

You have drawn to your own conclusions that seem to have nothing to do with the content of the "psuedo-space philosopher like OP's" post. That means that at the very least you have reading comprehension issues, or, alternatively, you have a closed mind that cannot look past it's own forgone conclusions.

Come to think of it lol

Why do they need to take the alliance name? The game does not let you make duplicate names, so if you close the alliance does it not render the name unusable forever more?


Or is it just a screw you kind of thing...
