If you are going to rage-disband YOUR OWN CORP.

Unsub your accounts.



Why not just finish the job?


Since a single loss so utterly destroyed your ability to enjoy the game, why are you still playing?


Biomass your characters and alts and spare yourself the trouble, already. Since this is such a negative thing for you, why not take a positive step to remove it from your life.


OR


You could say to yourself "hey, it's a GAME, one that OTHER PEOPLE PLAY TOO...and that guy who killed me, he was just playing it the way it was intended!"


But since you are stubbornly incapable of learning even the most simple lesson about eve, you're best off with the [strike]latter[/strike]former.

No, why not whine to CCP to nerf or remove awoxing !

One of many things that I am stubbornly incapable of accepting is that that is the way the game is intended to be played.

I mean, what did he get out of it? It appears that he isn't ever going to even post the killmail. Yes, he picked up some valuable loot, but, to me, it seems like it takes a pretty sick individual to do something like that for what he got out of it.

Oddly enough, the people who I seem to get along with best in the game are people like me, who are unable to leave their senses of morals and ethics on one side of the keyboard. The others? I consider them to be kind of like poster children for the combination of genetic drift and moral decay. The goonies seem to act like a big magnet for these people.

I do this sort of work very regularly. I originally began doing it because it it one of the few methods to **** with people in highsec that hasn't been extensively and repeatedly nerfed.

The real question is why, in a multiplayer pvp game, do you feel you shouldn't have to defend yourself, even if only by doing something as simple as maintaining some situational awareness.

Because in highsec, pvp should be optional.

In fact, we should try to prevent that as well. Here, have a suspect flag.

I think I have a better answer. I'm not a sociopath. I would like to trust people, or at least give them a chance. I have to admit that my shields were at less than 50% before I realized that he was serious, and I never thought he would pod me, in Hi Sec, and get away with it completely.

I'm not sure which one of us is the saddest. You, who sees everyone as a target, or me, who would like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

So rail at me for disbanding my corp. With people like this around, it was the safest thing to do.

News update.

Since the OP, three obvious AWOXERS have tried to join my corp. Did I make someone mad, or do they just see VEERV as a pinata?

It's been said before: Once a goonie, always a goonie. Same goes for the others, and you know who I mean. A zebra can't (or doesn't want to) change it's stripes.

End of discussion. Cool

EVE, smaller is better. You're best when you're solo.

Or multiboxing, really.



LMAO you guys make up your mind. You have pointed out in past post that eve is multi-player now you say eve is solo. This could happen from anyone at anytime. As much as I despise Goofswarm they arent the only awoxers.

So exactly how do you maintain situational awareness against your squad mates? They are in the same situation as you.

After hearing your cool story I can safely say I am so happy that I have never been scammed in EVE, or even remotely betrayed.

Man this thread has really cheered me up

So you made a mistake and everyone else gets punished for it? Holy crap, the CEO of Goldman-Sachs plays EvE!

It still amuses me how many people don't think that posting on the forums can have in game consequences. Lol

Note to OP: By creating this thread, you have marked yourself as a juicy target for forum reading awoxers.
Congratulations! Now you really can't trust anyone until this thread fades out of memory.
