Yet another cracked article discussing **** Moves in MMO's.

The featured story is one that we all know, but sit back and enjoy the narrative anyways.

It was pretty good but I noticed one error

Come on! He's hardly playing in China is he? Though that would have been move Richardery.

Wow. Of course we are #1. And the accuracy of this statement: Developers CCP banned the Mittani for a month and kicked him from his position as chairman of the player council -- this is the same company that OK'ed massive banking fraud and the outright destruction of tens of thousands of dollars of player money in-game. When you're such a d**k that not only are you visible from space, but that space kicks you back to the real world for a timeout, you are without question the greatest d**k in online gaming history.

Aside from maybe crucifying other players I dont think anyone is going to get us off number 1. Unless someone invents an MMO where you level up by eating babies or something.

Oh god.... Maybe Vampire the Masquerade will do it. Shocked

I knew that would be caught very quickly. It's almost like the word itself suddenly becomes 120 font compared to the rest of the page.

It's pretty sad isnt it. I feel bad for being that guy. Sad

Thats the name! I couldnt remember it.

If CCP allow all this with spaceships. God knows what vampires will be allowed to do.

#6 on that list, awoxing an ingame funeral, is worthy of Eve.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

That one is my favorite. Did you see the number of targets down there, all lined up and ready for killing? There has to be a threadnaught or a vent video associated with it, there just has to be.

I think the fact the the EVE community already had a word (ie - Awoxing) for doing that means that it is so common here that it wouldn't even register as a terribly dickish move. When I read the article all I could think was "I can think of a bunch of way more assholish moves in EVE than #2 to #7."

And many of them have probably been published in one of these articles. Eve makes at least one entry each time.

Here the last one that starred Zedrick Cayne
Here is destroying a shuttle that was loaded with Plex
Here is the most impresive corporate take down of probably all time. Page 2 has one of the biggest bank scams as well.

Each time these comes up you just know that Eve has a guaranteed spot in it and the **** move is always sure to please.

There is another that talks about how GSW removed BOB from the playing field but I can't find it atm. This is what I like about eve though, when we do something, we go grand scale with it.

We play Eve, we're connoisseurs when it comes to acts of random violence and the fine art of being arsehats, especially against friends, lesser forms of being an arse are our stock in trade.

I will give credit to CCP though. They do nothing but give us the tools to be assholes and we choose to do so on our own accord.

They sure know how to build a world where truly your imagination is the only limit.

Cracked should just do a 5-10 biggest **** moves in EvE. Running eve inside a cracked article vs other games is like letting the USA into the IFAF world cup.

You know if Eve continues to top itself, eventually the biggest **** move is going to be murdering someone in RL as a form of extreme meta-gaming. PLEX for assassinations?

PLEX for hitman seems more likely.

Why do it yourself when you can set a RL bounty on others in exchange for PLEX?

Is it wrong that I would like to think the Eve is classy enough that a funeral would be respected?

And the Mittani. Wowzers.
