I read it and agree with your conclusions.

wasn't expecting to, but hey I'll take my teachings from whoever I can get them from these days.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Indeed but so many insist on coming back to stink it up horribly, that's why all the dev cleanups.

Really psychopathic comments they were indeed. What?

Run for CSM please, OP, thank you.

(Or, if that's your area of expertise, then apply to work at CCP as a dev?)

E:

Bumping, because this needs to stay on page one, unlike most of the insipid, utterly insufferable trash spewed out on these boards.

Have you ever noticed:

All proper EVE players, regardless of their chosen play-style --yes, the OP is one, IMHO-- are able to see beyond their play-style, beyond corp/alliance-tags on some else (looooool at that bellend Andski, by the way) and see the whole sandbox? Amazing how rare that's become around here...

I learned those when I was in school. They have been utterly dropped in any form of electronic communication the past 30 years.....as they are probably not taught.

^^That.^^

I did, too.

Germane example:

No-one --and I mean no-one-- in almost any RL context I can think of, uses the term inter-dependence anymore. Yet when I was a kid, my school-lectures --specifically both sciences and social studies, more to the point-- were chock full of that concept, making sure that all us kids learned, and understood it.

That is, arguably, one of the things that EVE is all about, and arguably one of the only things that makes it work.

CCP knows this concept, despite their occasional...aaaah...misjudgements, which is why I think --I hope, I pray-- that we will not see them ever doing anything so monumentally stupid as "NURRFF HISEC!!11" or "GIEF PvE SHARD NAOW, CCP!!111oneoene"" or any of that utter selfishly myopic idiocy.

Because eliminating or even too-far compromising, the intrinsic, the required, interdependence of all aspects of the sandbox on all others, that really will kill EVE.

Unless CCP has made EVE's PvE component about umpty-eight billion times more modern and engaging in my recent semi-absence?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Good read, but I think you need to add a footnote to section (4). Some people are just there to annoy, incite argument, and get their yucks at the discussion's expense. They may be completely logical people (most legitimate trolls are) but they will not allow their logic to be visible and will make posts that are incorrect or intentionally uninformed. Not everyone is wise to their game so these detractors may be obvious to some but not all of EVE's forum-goers.


I know I'm replying to an old post, but a good trolls logic is consistent. A lot of people are confusing the word "logic" for correct which simply isn't the case. Take a look at the libertarian philosophy. It's a simple philosophy, almost beautiful in it's logical consistency from top to bottom and it describes nicely a world that doesn't exist the way it thinks it does.

This beautiful logical consistency is why so many people buy into it despite it's fairly major and glaring flaws. Ditto anarchism and socialism*.

*note: I'm talking about real socialism not what the American right wing calls socialist at this particular point in the week i.e. black people.

Rather than provide an example of the article's subject matter, wouldn't you prefer to discuss the actual article?

Cant remember, who said it:

Mittani would be a pseudo-educated douchebag. [edit: it is malcanis] P ok, so Mittani not even would say this. So we can dismiss the attribut "pseudo-educated". Still the text is just trival generalisation. It costs the writer nothing. Admitting - say - HBC/CFC leadership runs a campagne vs AAA to demonize them and to manipulate their own little grunts like - say - Goebbels, that would cost something.



Um...mate:

What the blue-peeping Hell does this have to do with....Anything at all?

No, seriously:

You've totally lost me, although that assessment of Mittani is spot-on.

E:

Oh, if I'm understanding this correctly, then you're bringing CAOD-level BS into a thread that has nothing to do with any specific in-game event, as if anyone who gets it actually gives a flying ****.

You should look up the term "myopia"sometime, and then re-read that article keeping in mind just how it might/might not apply...to you.

Right:

Bad troll is bad, 0.5/10.

The article doesn't even describe the Big Lie, it describes the Fundamental Attribution Error and the Ultimate Attribution Error.

I can't even find that quote to exist that you mention in your article, so far only Goebbels quoting Hitler of the big lie from mein kampf seem to exist. I guess you wanted to quote hitler and not goering?

I don't see a quote. I do see a short explanation of what the big lie was, but that's about it.

Maybe you should get over yourself and move on.
