EVE General Discussion

This technicality has already been addressed and disregarded, though it is amusing that some people seem to be either incapable of grasping the deeper issues being talked about here, and have been trying for no less than 4-5 pages repeatedly (without contributing anything else or even understanding what else is going on) "nail" the discussion on the known and understood fact that CCP owns everything in EVE. Reminds me of little kiddies trying to participate in adult conversation, but who don't really understand at all what is going on.

CCP owns the game and everything in it, but for example:

You and others are at a friends house. The house owner pulls out the dreaded Monopoly game (which he also owns).
You and your friends sit down to a game of Monopoly (which he owns) in his house (which he also owns).
Everyone is dealt out their share of monehs at start, as are the rules of teh game.
Then, at some point, one of the guys takes from your stacks of monehs a few 100s without your (or the game/house owners) permission.
That is theft from you, though it is the game owners property and his house in which the game and the property is held.
Even if you play his game of Monopoly, in his house, with his special house rules which ALLOW stealing, it is still theft by definition.
This because in the context of the game, that moneh was yours to use for the purposes of playing the game.
You have an internal contextual right to possession of it, though ofc actual ownership of it is still vested in the game/house owner.

Because they're incapable of being positive. They exist in an emotional state where their predominant feelings are sadness, anger, and jealousy. People who are angry are typically highly motivated by that anger. So they look for a platform to spread their anger, and it results in forum posts where people are insulting others trying to make them feel upset as they do themselves, transference.

And that's the rational people. Being a victim of your own anger is sad, yes, but it's somewhat natural.

What's unnatural is the fact that some of these people aren't mad about anything. They're just genuinely bad people who gain the satisfaction at the feeling that their actions have caused a negative emotional impact on someone else.

Do you know who talks about tears a lot?

CCP devs. The guys that make the game. You can go to youtube and find dev interviews where extracting tears is much talked about.

If you have a problem with people who like to extract tears, why are you choosing to play a game made by tear extractors, for tear extractors? I mean, it obviously bothers you.

In that you yourself demonstrate the behavior and traits you are projecting onto someone else in that specific description of them.

I find your description of them, is actually more accurately a description of yourself, than it is of them.

Because I think that RPGs should be designed to play pretend and have fun, not to get mad or rejoice in making people mad.

But you've again failed to show a connection. You've only stated that because a person does A in game, it means he will do A in RL. But have yet to show the connection between the two.

Thanks again for playing.

I´m saying that Tippia and Benny Ohu are blatantly dishonest, when they pretend being oblivious to what has been stated for years, by gankers themselves: that the tears are the supreme prize, and when they pretend not to understand that those gankers are outside the magic circle

But their only line of defence is saying "that´s not true"

How exactly am I being dishonest there?

I would discuss arguments they´d present to me, should they present any. But their only line of defence is saying "that´s not true", which is the being oblivious I´m describing above.

The thinking cosy

Is it the puppies or the kittens cosy? Enquiring minds want to know which is more suited to thinking.

it means that he's established a precedent. He's demonstrated a capability to think of you as a person worth extorting at least once.

It's impossible to definitively say he will extort you again, in person, because of the uncertainty principle that exists with all human interaction.

Because it's impossible to truly know what someone will do since that would require clairvoyance or super natural powers, you have to make a decision regarding the the information that's been provided to you by that individual's previous interactions with you. Where does the game end with him? Potentially, it could never end. He may very well extend this in game facet of his existence into the real world. We cannot know for certainty that he does not, so it's best to play it safe and choose to never trust him again, never giving him that opportunity based on his previous decision to show you he makes the choice to be a criminal.

All of which are assumptions on your part, without showing the connection.

I had high hopes for you and could see the game you were playing quite early on. But with your latest attempts, it's all looking like weak sauce.

Then of course, we can see you totally failed against Tippia and threw in the towel. What a shame.
