EVE General Discussion

This is probably going to get me lynched but here goes.

I used to work as a games master for a different company a few mill subscribers, something about crafting wars. Might be still going, avoid it tho it's really rubbish.

Annnyway.

My first day on the job actually answering tickets and the german servers go down, no warning just WOOMPH they're gone. As can be expected a few german players make alts on other language servers and start crapping up the equivalant of local. Now alot of em had silly names some of them a bit borderline. They were generally ignored. if a petition was raised it would be investigated but in general the final decision was on a GM by GM basis as per their interpretation of the rules at hand.

And frankly thats fine. If a GM has to triple check himself on every ticket there is no way in all the seven hells they're going to be able to handle an effective number of tickets that shift.

All in all however it's not the everyday players that raise naming petitions I found. In fact the largest number of reported titles came from RPers on RP servers.

"Here is todays list of petitions that break the EULA I demand you ban these people instantaneously for their travesty"
1: Bob
2: SirFunkalot
3: lolrpsmells

3 Gets a forced change everyone else stayed as is (Seriously Sirfunkalot? Disco Stu says yes)

Again another GM might have done it different, but one mans rage is another mans meh. They won't please everybody all the time, in fact they won;t please hardly anybody hardly any of the time.

Theres more important stuff to petition, and even if they do they can't tell you what they did. Some stuff gets lost in translation, some stuff isn't all that bad and other stuff will get CaldariCitizened so fast they'll get amnesia.

I prefer block over petition, it's easier it's less strain on a small (I suspect, at least compartively) GM team and frankly we're mostly all adults here.

Diatribe over now go back to spaceships

The answer is.......





Don't play if you don't like the smell....

Apparently EvE has a T for Teen rating for some reason. If they wanted adults only they would have M for Mature or AO for adults only. Though the Thorax is pretty reason enough for an AO rating.

a deal with it is fine too

Hold on while I roleplay an amar fury (no one cares).

many many years ago in this game..

I saw a bio where the player "racial name citizen 1298467" put a gms decision in his bio.

so I petitioned it..

3 days later I got a reply.

gm asked me if I want to change the name of that character ( he never once asked if it was my char)
I sat and thought about it. then I jokingly said yeah why not. please change to "Major Nuisance"

next downtime the name took effect.. so did the fits of laughter I had..
I am sure he got **** over that name for the next 3 days and had his name changed back to something else.


I am only admitting to this because it was on a different account .

HTFU. There's no rule saying all corp names must be approved by Turelus. People have a right to name their corp what they want. When you make a corp you can name that one.

If you find "Window Lickers" offensive is there anything you don't find offensive?

It's hard to tell. Sometimes you think someone was trolling and it turns out they really were just that ignorant/stupid.

Thanks for your support.

My alliance ticker used to be CHINX until I bombed some guy's fleet in null and he petitioned us.
