EVE General Discussion

EvE has a great dark element to it...Betrayal, learn a password or a few words in confidence. Use it all to your advantage and savor in that sweet moment when you punk em..Hopefully they read your message on your way out...."YEEEHAAWWWW!"
Its that sweet freakshow thats EvE..explore just how bloody you can get in this wonderful fictional universe.

Where do you draw the line? Is there a line?
Recently a player took advantage of a deaf player that was recovering from surgery ...He took him into his confidence and helped him along for awhile...I wonder if he was thinking "Oh I"m going to freakin burn this deaf ******" .... He must have, because thats what he did. Took every item the deaf guy had saved for months...

Theres always one snivvely kid out there that takes it too far...

I dont blame the game, because this kid isnt playing the game. He stepped out of the game and made it something else. Ugly by anyones standards.

I dont want to mention this kids name... Master Shawn... as that probably would not be appropriate. *Master Shawn, currently docked in Dodixie* I just wanted to bring this event to light and to vent some frustration..FOR that I thank you very much.
*Master Shawn.

Thanks all and enjoy the new inventory :P

oh..because the deaf player is me. heh

How did he acquire the items?

If via contract/trade from the person who owned the items, tough luck thats EVE.

If via hacking/using the person's PW to log on and take them, report the individual as they broke the EULA.

So... this is just a whine thread about losing your stuff, then? I don't see how being deaf obviates the fact you need to be careful who you trust.

Unless he was saying "I'm gonna scam ya" over voice comms the whole time, I don't see how having a hearing disability makes you deserve any special treatment.

Especially since Eve doesn't have sound.

I gotta support the OP here. Genuinely deaf. When he is in fleet i often type in chat what they are saying in TS3 for him. Also he was in the 2nd of 5 surgeries for something else 2 weeks ago. And for now because of that he is really a deaf guy playing a game with the use of one arm :(

Smeg will laugh at this and I know he won't object to me posting it. The point is this. It was harder for him to build an inventory than many of us. He then put much of the inventory in the corp hangar to share with members who could use what he had but couldn't quite afford much yet.

Some would say that if u put it there then be prepared to lose it and he was. They also say be careful who you trust, he was.



So Master Shawn comes into a corp with a Deaf one armed generous CEO and shafts the F*** outta him and all the members. Yes, I know, it's laughable, but it actually happened and the shawn guy knew all of this and still did it.

We are talking low here folks :/

As he's a scammer, public opinion already means peanuts to him. Plus, the general thinking in Eve goes along the lines of "someone who was easily separated from his ISK didn't deserve it anyway".

If you want to get back at him, though, use the C&P forums. I don't see what makes your case special, or why you had to mention deafness or anything.

Having a disability is not a shield against anything in-game, and attention-seeking behavior doesn't help.

Are you looking for pity or... what?

The difference is that one of those is allowed by game rules and the other is not. Also, botting/RMTing harms the economy and rewards no-effort shortcuts. Did you know scamming is surprisingly hard, and not a reliable source of income?

Eve is a game where you can't ever fully trust anyone unless you're able to find them IRL and kick them in the nuts. And even then, not fully. That is one of the points of the game. It introduces new ways to play, new pitfalls, and more personal dynamics. And the best part? None of it has to do with real life.

Games that do not feature legal scamming are a dime a dozen. Go play one of those, or deal with it and HTFU.

king of the post lol. Honestly I agree, no reason to bring in being a deaf player into it. It was just used against me and I thought it was a pretty snivvely thing to do. I learnt my lesson. nuff said. I dont post in forums much and I thought at the time that it would feel good to ventilate.

anyways I consider it all water under the bridge and wont post further.
