EVE General Discussion

You're going to have to come up with something better than "BUT THAT'S JUST YOUR OPINION YOU BLOODY LIAR" if you want to have a proper discussion with CCP. Or anyone over the age of 12 tbh.

I feel the same way about make-up sometimes

But not always

He feels he's justified in determining my motivations, which considering that he is him, and I am me, I'm in a better position to determine if his statements concerning the nature of my intention are valid.

Which his explanation of why he feels I am doing or saying what I am is merely his own interpretation observed from his point of view, and my explanation comes from me, which means I ultimately have the say over the purpose of my posts.

He is allowed to develop his own opinion of why he feels I'm doing what I am, but ultimately, those are his opinions that he's created.

Which ends up being:

His opinion

Fair enough. I read "not supposed" in your statement as some kind of CCP judgement. Chalk it up to ambiguity.

Simply theorycrafting a potential benefit is insufficient cause to overturn the position that AFK cloaking is benefit-less. You would need to demonstrate that the potential benefit is actually occurring, or that evidence of it occurring is impractical to obtain. You've done neither of those things.

And it could be argued that CCP's continued inaction demonstrates their belief that the gossamer advantage you posit is allowable.

MDD

I live in a house full of ladies, so know exactly what you are taking about.

Well in fairness, here is an example of a person using AFK cloakers to indefinitely conduct surveillance on both sides from a jump gate:

That cam is pretty much all day, and it's public. Which means considering we understand we can't know everything that is going on, it's safe to make the assumption that someone, somewhere else might be doing this exact same thing in another location, privately. Privately invoking the concern that because it's unknown, it's unavoidable to stop.

Also, considering the potential for people to discover new ways to use available technology, AFK cloaking presents liability in it's use similar to the fashion of the link I provided. Now there's no real reason to "keep" afk cloaking as is other than choosing not to make the effort in changing it. But as shown, there's a liability which demonstrates an actual reason, I believe, to want to change it from preventing more situations as depicted by that stream to begin surfacing.

No, think of something with a slightly higher sugar content. :P

Bad red wine?

MDD

you need to brush up on this point.

Ahh, would this be the stuff that cleans old pennies rather well?

I did look at oiling the floor, but the whole dropped drink problem stopped me. So Bona here we come.
