EVE General Discussion

i told you not to live in a hall of mirrors.
you should listen to me more, sol.

Easy there, Travis Bickle.

or maybe you don't understand how evidence works (since you know, you haven't produced any).
i mean, if linking a website was evidence i could win any argument i wanted with the justification of "google.com"

Why are you arguing semantics in regards to your malfunctioning link?

I offered a legitmate counterpoint and you have ignored it.

If you don't wish to discuss your point of view further, please don't reduce the conversation to personal attacks.

If you are surrounded by idiots, that makes you someone who managed to be surrounded by idiots.


As for people being too afraid of their stats, well, a lot of people have stated that killmails are killing the game. I don't entirely agree though. That it's just about kills and not the overall incident is my problem because it screws freighter, blockade runner, and logi pilots - it's just "kill or got killed" and people just knuckle drag over "muh stats".

I've been caught red handed in a BC and still have the 5 man gang run because while they could have turbo-stomped me, each one of them individually ran off because they knew I could take out at least one of them and they didn't want to be "the one" because.... muh stats.


And the people who do everything with one eye on their wallet are the ones being maligned. "Oh you didn't tank your indie because you wanted more yield - therefore you deserve to get ganked because you only care about ISK". Yet, what of these people who care only about their stats? Why are they automagically better? Some of these people who don't tank indies might have done the math and factored in suicide ganking and still see a profit.


Anyway, your post touches on a point I make repeatedly. The game is infested with a kind of aspergian "min/maxer" habit that is interesting to see, but in those who do it, I end up wondering if they are really playing a game or if some kind of OCD is afoot. Maybe Ritalin is involved? I don't know. But imagine what happens if you go into the house of someone with a cleaning compulsion and trash it for the lulz. How do they respond? I've seen the "air" of such a response in local when some of these players get ganked and I have seen gate campers display equal rage when they fail to get their kill. They are the first to state that anyone putting triple stabs on an intie should have their mothers shot, and they do it with such venomous rhetoric that again, like the ISK-aholic in highsec, I wonder what game they are playing.

... confirming I'm an idiot.... O.o ... send me 1 PLEX and I'll add plenty of drool and gurgling sound effects...

So... you are saying the knife cuts both ways?

Though suggesting that those with OCD or Aspergers are somehow unwelcome isn't a particularly enlightened view in of itself.

Are you sure it was rage, and not smack/trolling?

Even if it was, all that proves is that there are many people with anger management issues in the pirating community as there are in the mining community.

That made me laugh lol

What do stats get you? Do they get you isk? Can you buy taco's with the "muh stats"? lol because legit if you can't buy tacos, pay your internet bill or pickup chicks with your stats....I don't see the point in caring about them.

Moral of the story....tacos, girls and internet = LIFE lol (I'm kidding)

but legit, what do the stats even get them? I have ALL KILLS. I've been killed 10-12 times so far, what do "muh stats" get me? I really want some tacos....

But I did, you decided not to look at it because it was not in a format that would enable you to click and get results.

As you can see from muh own stats, I dont give a hoot for stats

Though certain WTs who spam my local from time to time seem to be under the impression I feel otherwise

(The fact theirs is Nullblobs and solo miner kills is apparently a badge of honour for em, *shrug*)
