EVE General Discussion

No, because I have a hunch I won't be playing during election time due to non-EVE related things.

Though, I still wouldn't vote for her.

I remember taking the executive decision to block you after repeatedly asking you to stop arguing and listen to the Town Hall until the part at the end where everybody could ask questions.

You came in with your mind made up, and instead of actually listening to the material being released, you just typed away frantically. I simply asked you to reserve judgement until Erotica and others had finished speaking.

Perhaps if you could contain yourself, you wouldn't be booted out of the presser. I only muted you for 30 minutes, and I stand by my decision. You were basically the equivalent of the redneck who calls Obama a gay-Kenyan-socialist-Muslim-fascist at a campaign event.

If you think your questions (which were obviously based out of ignorance and an unwillingness to hear the full story) were somehow "good", then I am truly sorry that we made the mistake of inviting you to the event. I was under the impression that you might, indeed, be a rational and thinking person.

I saw last night, and I am continuing to see today, that you are unwilling to engage with us in a robust and well informed debate.

Perhaps you are just a troll, after all. That was my first instinct.

Dear Bao Xi, if you want to support Erotica 1, you should stop posting.

She is funny, you are just strident and annoying.

Well ... there's that.

And there's mathematics.


The reason why it does not make any sense to you,
is because you are a narrow minded ... but i can explain it to you.


See, mathematics tell us that of any group of people,
the probability of all these people being alike (in your case: "the lowest of the low" ... whatever *that* means!)
decreases with every new person that joins the group.



It is simply impossible that all these scammers are alike,
for the same reason that all people simply aren't alike.


Of any group of people,
every time the amount of people in that group increases,
the amount of reasons why people join, increases too.

It is highly unlikely that ...
... all the people ...
... of a huge group of people ...
... share the same few reasons with the first few people in that group.



How many scammers do you think are there out there ?


Why do you have such a low view of scammers in the first place ?



I seriously don't understand your issue with spammers, though,
because *i* simply *block them* and that's that.

*You* rather waste your time and start argueing about something
that does not in any way have to bother you,
because you can easily remove it completely.


AND STILL, you come to this thread,
type your zero-value-response and hit POST.

You probably didn't even read the OP ! (i'm sadly unable to gather this information by myself)



The next time you want to press that ENTER key,
remember that you are a clueless, reactive moron ... before you hit it.


And I know you'll hit it, because i know it's controlling you completely.


Cheers.

And that is the problem, the evidence presented was no different than any of the other evidence previously documented. In fact, it was the exact same evidence posted on these forums, just read by someone instead of having people read it themselves. So tell me then, how my asking for the promised proof was based in ignorance and an unwillingness to hear the full story? Should I listen to the recordings backward? Do I need to listen to them on a Tuesday, when the moon is full while dancing over a virgin? If that is the case then I must implore you once more to give me the evidence, as it is not a Tuesday, the moon is not full, and I am sorely lacking a virgin. I have read the original thread. I have read the minerbumping articles. I have listened to the "press conference" multiple times now, and I still cannot find the evidence, or this full story, that you speak of. I do not mind you calling me a troll, and I do not doubt that yourself, Erotica 1 and probably many other friends of yours truly believe I am an alt of Heavy Rayne. That is fine, as it still does not change the fact that all I am asking for is the evidence that you say was provided. I cannot bring myself to listen to that "press conference" again. One time was enough, but I gave it two more tries in an attempt to understand where the full story was hiding. Where the "new evidence" that Erotica 1 said had come to light was. Is this truly such a difficult question to answer? Is it so much to ask that you provide what was promised?

And furthermore, on the argument of Erotica 1 running for the CSM: I am glad you have found your niche in New Eden. Erotica 1's scams give you reason to log in, and that is wonderful for you. However, for those of us that don't receive any of the ISK or assets taken from the "bonus room" victims, her "emergent gameplay" is quite meaningless. Now Erotica 1 and his friends, including you, have stated multiple times that he would be a good choice for all of New Eden. He has said he would fairly represent all player types, that he has no bias towards one kind of player. And yet all of his supporters, including yourself, are heavily biased toward Erotica 1's style of play. How will he reconcile his statements of being an individual that believes all playstyles are valid with the fact that all, or nearly all, of his supporters subscribe to a single playstyle and express views that other playstyles are invalid. Will he do as he has said, and represent all players equally, or is that just rhetoric in an attempt to gain support? If it is not rhetoric, how will he appease his core supporters without angering the others, and vice versa?

It's called emergent game play, and Erotica 1 is good at it. Don't mistake maliciousness over someone playing the game. Even if a person ganks a miner...that is not being mean, that is just them playing the game. If I drop a canister and you come and steal from it, and it allows me to attack you, well then that is your fault for not knowing the rules of the game. Same goes for when people get scammed...if you are so stupid to fall for something that sounds to good to be true, then you deserve to get fleeced. Erotica 1 is what helps make EVE Online the game it is and gives life to the Universe of EVE. They use the game to its full potential. How boring would EVE be if we didn't have scammers, gankers, goons, test, and all the other elements that make it what it is. Pretty damn boring.

So yeah...here is my

The fact that the only response you have to any question as to how Erotica 1 might actually improve EvE Online is to call me a troll isn't entertaining to me at all. It's quite sad actually. I heard so many great stories of the intelligent people that play this game, how they come up with ingenious methods to scam people, to cheat and steal, to infiltrate and tear down empires. And yet the most common thing people come up with is, "YOU A TROLL!!!!! TROLOLOLOL!" Bao Xi just asked me to engage in a robust debate with him and the reponse is that I'm a troll? Come now child, try to keep up.

LOL at the clowns who somehow think Erotica's manipulations and grifting somehow enhance the game.

He'll win because so many of you need something to break up the tedium that is your online existence. Erotica adds to the laugh track that plays behind Eve. There is no other redeeming quality that makes him worthy of office.

Fortunately, as is the case with most representative groups, nothing will change and at some point this he will go back to grifting the ignorant and confusing already confused gankers who think that is lip gloss on his avatar.

Who?

Going to guess some null-sec whipping master?

If true, then Erotica 1 has more redeeming qualities than roughly 40% of the current CSM.
