EVE General Discussion

The above highlighted sentence is many times more morally reprehensible than anything any in-game scammer has ever done. There is never any justification for out of game threats, period.

Actually Malcanis makes a good point, as long as assets and ISK remain within the game, what happens outside of the game is not within their purview.

Emergent gameplay is by its very definition about pushing the boundaries, it's one of Eve's salient selling points. If CCP consider what Erotica does goes beyond what they consider to be acceptable they'll do something about it. Personally I find it distasteful, as such I take no part in Eroticas shenanigans.

As above, if CCP deem the activities of Erotica and others that facilitate similar activities as over the top, then they will do something about it.

Why? As it stands Erotica remains within the rules of the game, has broken no real world laws and sticks to scamming people out of their virtual assets and currency, which remain within the game, albeit using out of game mechanisms to do so.

Just because you find the activities of Erotica and the like morally reprehensible does not mean that they should be banned from Eve, especially as the game in its current form allows them to pursue those activities.

I don't like the extremes that the bonus room goes to, but I see no reason for people to be banned from a game for doing something I consider distasteful when the game in question encourages people to be ruthless bastards to get ahead, and places few limits on what is possible in the pursuit of doing so.

Step 1: Block in game.
Step 2: Block in forums.
= problem solved.

Nope.

Why should I care if someone YOU have pissed off and driven over the edge shows up at your doorstep?

Its not my problem. I didn't **** them off. Its not my doorstep they are at, and its you who are responsible for your own actions in pissing them off.

Thats how the world works, deal with it.
Dont come crying to me when your someone actually comes after you for conduct you yourself are responsible for in the first place.

You are blaming the victim in the recording.

Checkmate.

Your propaganda department really needs to fire the 3-4 of you.
You aren't any good at this at all.

If the guy you where griefing deliberately found out where you live and comes after you, that is neither my problem, my responsibility, a result of anything I have done, or any of my ****s. Its your problem and one you have directly been involved in escalating due to your own choices.

Translation: If you get sexually assaulted, perhaps consider not wearing mini-skirts from now on.

As with all of your type, you make no distinction between in game and out of game.

On one side we have those who want Erotica1 and his cronies buried in a digital shallow grave.

On the other side, we have those wishing to hoist Erotic1 up on their shoulders as a hero to freedom.

Perhaps, just perhaps, there's a middle ground? Where we can discuss the underlying issue, rather than this single incident? We're all adults, and dealing with the issue of 'potential' cyber bullying is very much an adult issue. So how about we all get off our respective soapboxes, myself included, and start discussing, as adults, this issue and the ramifications that any potential decisions and actions taken regarding the "emergent gameplay" vs "cyber-bullying" debate?

Do I spy a Zapp Brannigan reference?

So shines a good deed in a weary world

Pointing your wild hypocrisy is not having it both ways.
