you SAID that, but you didnt actually manage to prove crap all as a fact


By illustrating a scenario within the confines of eve that demonstrates it's possible, then I prove that it's possible. Because it's possible, I then proved it's possible. It's a liability right now, and I'm addressing it by depicting how it can be used in a manner to provide something of value, while AFK, with no real counter play.

Thanks.

Oh and I finished laying my reclaimed Maple floor yesterday. Took me 2 weeks and it now needs sanding and finishing, but I'm a happy camper. Lol

Next time I move house, its going to be wood floor ALL THE WAY

I hate carpet so much, annoying to clean, expensive to replace and terribly bad for my collection of electronics

You can assume you know, but it's only your assumption.
It's not an assumption if you outright state it. Nor is it an assumption when you prove it beyond any reasonable doubt. The only other option is that you're lying, which you often are, but that's your problem and not ours, and it still counts as you treating your ignorance-based opinions as facts.

So no, it's not only my assumption.

Nor does it matter — your claims are still as baseless and still as supported by nothing but uninformed opinion. If it is your or someone else's that you mindlessly repeat makes no real difference.


The assumption lies within your supposed application of your belief of my intention onto my intention for stating it how it's stated.

To make this conversation less vague, and to demonstrate my statement, feel free to pick one of my past statements, and I'll describe to you what my intention was when I made it.

Fgs, you said you were going to behave DE.

Yes they are opinions. It's just some are worth more than others.

That's basically what the majority of these conversations are, our opinions. Trust me, I know. I point out others opinions all the time. Which for some reason upsets them, being reminded that their opinions are opinions and not matters of fact.


And you treat yours as a matter of fact.


I disagree.

Care to elaborate?


You said you had PROVED AFK cloaking was bad yesterday


I proved there exists a very real potential for it to be providing an incredibly valuable service through private streaming all while AFK with no effective counterplay, now since this potential exists while it can be done AFK, meaning there is a huge potential negative effect it can be having, considering the person is AFK, he's not suppose to be extracting a benefit. Which means unless a potential exploit is going to be allowed to exist, then it needs to be made non-existent.

no, you rolled around in your own logical fallacy like a dog in something nasty,
then attempted to get us (who just called you out on it) to fall for it. when that didnt work (and after like 2-3 locked threads) you then attempted it on tippa with hilarious results.

Which based on your own opinion, you subjectively place your value on to what you feel is worth more.

So while you feel it may be worth more to you, it's very well possible that someone else value something else entirely.

You really like apples. I prefer oranges. To me, an apple is less valuable than an orange, even though you personally feel the opposite.

No. My assumption lies with the naïve thought that when you say something you mean it and that you are not a pathological liar. I can stop using that assumption if you like, but it will not paint you in a better light. Your intentions — assumed or otherwise — are not even a factor, so that's just some projected strawman you're rolling out because your argument has once again failed.

No, that's just your opinion. In the real world, where the rest of us live, those are the recorded facts, which is a different thing. As people have been pointing out to you, you need to learn to separate the two.

CCP has said no such thing. I regularly benefit while either AFK or even completely-logged off, and CCP is completely ok with it.

Thanks man.
It was a real pain. Had to clean each joint before I started and I still have the hall and dinning room to do, but now I've done this I'm not dreading the other quite so much. I still have about the same again to lay though, but it's well worth it

Floor.

I freely admit that would have taken me longer than 2 weeks. I hope you poured yourself a shot after finishing up that one, you deserve it.

Wow Divine, you must have a real hard on for Tippia. This must be the twelfth thread that devolves into a he said she said; all the while your own sig reflects your growing obsession, with not one but two Tippia related links.

But hey, I'm not one to judge. Man love can be a beautiful thing. Cool

Nice! I hope it's not all dirt but also some wood patina that's creating that coloration?

Except that the argument for being AFK cloaking is that there is NO possible benefit, which by showcasing the example I did, I demonstrate a very real possibility of it being used in a manner that can lead to a benefit while AFK.

I haven't been able to argue with CCP about this issue, but I would like the opportunity. In the mean time, the only argument I have on the matter is with those who disagree, you here now choosing to argue it.

Now since I've proven that there is a possible benefit by explaining how, the argument for cloaking indefinitely needs to be shifted away from "there is no benefit being derived by the person who is AFK" into a more realistic stance of "we don't mind the benefit being provided by someone who is cloaking afk."

No, that's not really an argument anyone makes.

Oh, and there's no “except that” — CCP has made no claim of the sort, and as many of their mechanics demonstrate, they are entirely ok with people reaping a benefit without even having to be logged in.

Try one of the bajillion threads on the topic that all end up demonstrating that it's not a problem — the ones that have existed for longer than I have played and have not yielded any results.
