It's such a crazy notion that it makes me wonder if anyone even thought of it and didn't do it before someone thought of it and did. Genius and madness coming together.

Eve "No Limits" Online.


That pretty much how the Bonus Room escalated. Not out of an intent to get them into ****** positions, but out of an intent to get them to quit. Then people just kept going.

Admits friend is an idiot. Calls it cyberbullying anyway. Eve = Competitive environment. Idiots do not fare well. Working as intended.


This is how i feel as well. One of the things i like about EVE online is that it punishes the stupid and guillable. Retards should go play retards games.

EvE is like PvP+

Even your own corp-mates (to an extent) are playing against you.

Trust is a seriously rare commodity.

If you don't know the address/phone number of someone you play with then you better use caution when interacting with them.

God won't help you his KB is terrible.

LOL People still fall for this, even after what happened a few months ago.

Apparently someone doesn't know how to use google or use common sense...

your friend lost at pvp - he can learn from it and keep going, or move on to a game where bads are propped up by game mechanics

My general rule of thumb has always been that I will only trust you if I can physically kick you in the balls.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Never trust anyone in-game unless you are sleeping with them IRL.

Even then ask - are they only screwing you to screw you?

It would be epic if someone started a rl relationship just to get in position to scam a corp or w/e. Probably against the EULA too.

I was betrayed.

I invited several of my family over and I made dinner.

I was naive to leave boom boom online while i went afk given my sister plays eve also.

While i was sitting on the toilet squeezing out a rather large and painful deposit, my sister was also ensuring another large deposit was transpiring also.

This has caused severe divisions within the family.

Not the sort of drama you can simply flush away.

OP you failed your friend by neglecting in your responsibilities as CEO to educate a new player you had taken under your wing.

You could have prevented this.

If anything you should be maing a public apology to your friend.

This needs to be... oh wait no it doesnt need to be anywhere. Its ******* obvious

Hello fellow Eve pilots, i understand most of you here are familiar with the Bonus room scam and the controversy of Erotica1?
Well my good friend who i have known for some time decided to try Eve and under my wing i took him in and let him into my corp,now i do realize that i should have made him aware of such a scam but i had no idea he would be so silly as to fall for the bonus room scam. But hey ho he did and has now lost all his isk mostly paid for with real cash and all his SP, they have even had him lower his sec status so concord will keep killing him..

Now he wants to quit the game which is understandable and i have advised him to file a ticket requesting that he get his belongings back and his SP. Now i know there has been many cases like this and players either learn from it or quit but all i want to know is why have CCP still allowed **** like this to happen to new players and not seem to be looking after our new players?

And i know those Cyber bullies like to record there hilarious bonus rounds ,does anyone know where we can find them to listen to it as we would like to determine how serious this one is ?


Cool story, Bro. Your friend is stupid.

I like the cut of your sisters jib, is she single?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

If she isn't currently in an eve context, i'm sure she will be back on the market when she's run out of spending my isk and subsequently inviting potential suitors to come forth.
