Who do you blame after a loss?

So after years of only being able to read on this forum at work due to filters a question arose:

When losing a ship that was not due to a pre planned PvP engagement (by that I mean you knew there was going to be fighting that you might lose a ship in), who do you blame more?

I've found there are the people who blame the other person (F*** blobbers, cloaky f***s, It's an exploit)

Or

There are the people who blame themselves (knew I shouldn't have flown that without a scout, why did I load it so full?, I'm a moron!)

I just wanted to know who does which and where in the game they relate to. I've live in null/low my entire EVE career and it's mostly been biased towards the latter. This however is also likely due to me being with the same people my entire career too.

I'll start it off

I'm from null (mainly) and I blame myself so so so much...

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.

I never found blame to be working in my favour. I blame myself for this.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

I know right? I was going to put that in the "blaming others" examples but thought I'd attract too much flak.

Depends... My fleetmate lost a ship because I wasn't aligned to a gate because he told me to "hold my cloak". Then winged when he instawarped and lost a ship and I didn't... He blamed me... Not himself...

I told him tough **** for giving bad FC commands...Big smile

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

I dunno. Whenever I'm an FC I view the fleet as if it was a ship. Anything I lose I count against myself etc for not FCing properly etc .

Jack Daniels and Jose Quervo and are often responsible for my losses. Mary Jane is often involved too. Completely useless noobs, the lot of them. Getting me all confused and stuff while I'm playing EVE.

No one. Blame would indicate i hadnt intended to lose it in the first place.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie
