EVE General Discussion

If you wanted people who know you in game to be aware of your situation, you would have either edited your in game description with the relevant information or sent a general private eve mail. What this seems to be, on the other hand, is a poorly handled "life has screwed me over, feel sorry for me!" thread, in which you appeal to your own real life circumstances to incite the righteous wrath of EVE players against the malevolent conglomerate of wannabe bastards that blew up your digital pixels.

Stop trying to emotionally blackmail people into feeling sorry for you, or talking them down by appealing to your unique insight on the value of human life and opportunity. Cancer is awful. Your situation is awful. I'm sure you have been in a lot of pain and have had to sacrifice a lot. But this isn't the place for it.

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand I'm sure this stuff happens and it sucks. On the other hand it sounds awfully similar to a 2 year old story on kugutsumen.

Anyway, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and wish you the best

Notice the 2 cyno's, his cyno that bought in his carriers and the NC one that in thier carriers

Short story, he cynoed outside of docking range and got ganked, he was going on about how he was joining the "alliance"

[05:48:58] Psyrus Baine > STOP im joining the damn corp alliance

[05:50:01] Draben Enforcer > Im joining the fuckin alliance corp

er no you weren't

First of all, I don't believe you. I don't need to believe you, and you don't need me to believe you.
Second, if you have colon cancer, then those two carriers are the least of your problems.
Third, have you ever killed anyone's ship in eve? Did you first check their health status before doing it? If not, you're a horrible hypocrite and a sham.
Fourth, you got invited to a corp? what corp? logs? proof? no, just your whiny pathetic loser story about "Oh no people were mean to me and I have bum cancer"
Fifth, if you are a big bum cancer fraud as I suspect, then there is a special place for you in hell, or TEST, whichever is worse.

If they need cheering up, they should probably not play the most unforgiving MMO out there.
btw - the sociopaths are the ones that compare Eve to RL, or bring RL issues into the game. Nobody cares.

I'm sorry to hear about your RL situation but I don't think it should in any way effect the way people are treated in game.

There are many people who suffer real life issues from minor illness to battling terminal illness, all of these people play EVE knowing what it is. Being scammed and killed by others sucks, but it's someone any player no matter their RL state should have to consider when logging in, any kind of special treatment from CCP would go against what the game is built on.
That's not to say there wont be players who have a kind heart and will take RL considerations into account, maybe you yourself could form a corporation where the focus is a place for people with problems in their RL can come and break away for a while in EVE.

obligatory can I have you stuff message.

Nobody conned you. You jumped to a cyno that wasnt even part of the corp you were joining, you're an idiot.

I guess I should shed some light on this situation since it came this far.

Psyrus Baine was member of Rionnag Alba in 2008-09. Was fairly active but then started playing less and less and eventually quit EVE due to being in hospital all the time receiving cancer treatment.
He came back to the game recently and inquired if he could rejoin. I knew him so I told him he can. We talked ingame in R A public channel where Aussie Willy (CEO of Ever Flow and member of NCdot) was present as well. Important to know is we recently left NCdot on good terms after being there for 3 years since the formation of the alliance. We also always had good relationship with Aussie Willy and Ever Flow.

Today Psyrus Baine logged in to move his stuff to low sec and then apply to our corp as agreed. Aussie Willy used the fact that previously with me present we all chatted in very friendly terms and convinced Psyrus that he will sort him a cyno which Psyrus accepted. Aussie Willy of course couldnt have known about Psyrus' medical condition so he cant be condemned for that, but he did abuse our friendship in convincing Psyrus to trust him. Never the less, Psyrus should have known better not to trust random people in public channel but I guess he wasnt in best state of mind due to anticancer drugs and was misguided by the friendly way Aussie Willy and myself chatted and joked in said public channel.

EVE is harsh game and people cant usually know what is happening to other players in RL when they blow up their spaceship pixels, so calling them sociopaths for that is unnecessary. Abusing long term friendship even if its only ingame is another thing but that is partially my fault in allowing Aussie Willy to abuse that in the first place.

Psyrus I wish you good luck with your treatment and recovery. You also shouldnt try to get some sort of recognition on forums as they are universally not trusted and in general not really the best place to vent your feelings. Dont let some imaginary spaceship pixels get you down. After all life is so much more then this hobby we call EVE.

If that is indeed the case (which I very much doubt) then your OP was a failure on another level. There would have been many much better media to contact your old buddies. Their corp forums, in-games channels, direct in-game mails or if you really wanted to do a eve-o forum post then at least you could have chosen the OOPE section.

But no.

You had to choose GD, the second largest cesspool of the whole of eve-o forums.

Fail... just.. fail.

Other than that, good luck with your RL issues.

Edit: Read the thread through and GreGh Rakrot's post perfectly validates my doubts. There really was no need to make a post on GD you already had other channels to contact your buddies.

So, wrong section of the forums, ranting, troll fodder, reason enough for a lock.

Sure, this shines a lot of light on the situation. It reveals the fact that the situation in no way called for a public forum post condemning almost everyone in the game when a PM to the person responsible would have been sufficient. It's easy to call people sociopaths when you're angry that they don't conform to your own standards of morality, but everyone is different, people don't like people that are different to them, and more importantly, we're playing a video game here. There are no sociopaths because you don't know a damn thing about a single player to make that diagnosis, nor do I expect anyone here possesses the necessary qualifications to diagnose sociopathy.

Secondly, as a diagnosed ACTUAL sociopath myself, a comorbid condition that is commonly associated with the developmental disorder autism, I don't appreciate the negative connotations that are associated with the word. Not that there's much I can do about it, but one thing people need to realise is that one is not a bad person just by virtue of being sociopathic. In fact, there are many sociopaths living perfectly normal lives all around us, in real life, on a daily basis. I take no offence being called a sociopath because I am one, I take offence because it's intended as an insult as a result of nothing but anger.

Finally, having cancer is not an excuse for mercy in this game. As I stated above, you know what you're getting yourself into the moment you log in to this game. Every time you undock, you've already signed a contract saying that you agree to lose the ship you have undocked in. It should be the expectation on everyone's mind for the duration of their time in that ship, whether they lose it or not. If he wanted a game to help him take his mind off things, he could have chosen something a little more forgiving.

But at the end of the day, there is absolutely no excuse and no reason to post the way he did in the OP. It makes him the bad guy at the end of the day. Believe it or not, guilt trips are actually a form of bullying. Just like '**** shaming', it's an attempt to make people feel guilty for something they have no reason to feel guilty for. It's ridiculously childish and he SHOULD feel ashamed for it. As an aside, and associated but only slightly analogous, it always amuses me when people post those anti-bullying posters all over the internet that accuse you of being part of the problem if you don't share them, which as a guilt trip is in and of itself, ironically, a form of bullying.
