EVE General Discussion

DDoS is considered a crime (and if I remember correctly, an act of war too, under some circumstances) in almost every developed nation that relies on electronics and the internet.

For clarification:



Having seen some of my favorite communities on some games go belly up because of unrelenting DDoS attacks (and I mean actual DDoS, not just DoS), I personally would never condone using a DoS or DDoS attack under any circumstance for any reason.

Some people on the internet like to forget the very distinct boundary that separates real life from our cyberspace fantasy worlds. The moment someone takes winning a GAME (of all things) that seriously is when there is a significant cause for concern.

So no, DoS nor DDoS are okay under any circumstance.

CCP don't give a **** about who is at the receiving end of the packet cannon, as long as it's not their servers. Besides it's only the null power blocks who are using ddos, and half the employees at CCP comes from the same parts of null... you really think they are in a position to do any finger pointing?

You might not like it but around here the pigs walk on two legs, smoke cigars and drink whiskey.

Getting pixel-punched: 0$
Flying to FF + hotel: 1500$ (?)
Beer: 50$
Getting arrested for taking RL revenge: priceless

Neither is OK, so no.

Pretty sure most countries wont have laws against DDoS attacks, punching somebody in the nuts however you'll find, is pretty much going to get you locked up, and possibly beat down if you underestimated your target

RL Revenge for pixels is more than just stupid, really.

Hitting someone in the nuts is NEVER ok. Even if she has boobs.

Dude, if some day you get in front of a court and get a full 6months pay taken for molesting some guy, 5K € bill to pay and 2 years full surveillance meaning a single false step from getting drunk to a park bill leads you directly to jail for the rest of those 2 years, believe me, you calm down very fast.

In the end you will finish to understand why it's stupid, but it takes some years to realize.

Do whatever you like, it's your problem after all, but if you ask me I tell you: don't

Edit: maybe in your country you're aloud to have and pull your 45 to point someone's head because he said you girls was this or that. In France or Switzerland you do that, the first number starts with 15 years, then you better hope to have a good lawyer and never have pulled the trigger.

I know some countries are more civilized than others, that's what makes the difference between animals and humans, even if some are still living in the middle age.
There's a huge difference in between broking someones bones because you had to defend yourself and attacking someone, one is in perfect right to send you right to the hospital with all broken bones the other has a single right: the jail
At least where I live believe me, you don't want things to get over a certain limit, you just move on or wait the other guy to punch you first.

I live in denmark, and you will not get anything close to a 5K€ fine or 2 years, normally 1 if you are a first time offender, unless we are talking aggravated assault or assault with a weapon.

I think there might be some sandboxy gamelike virtual gizmo on the intertubes that suits pretty well for pixel revenge.
