Crime & Punishment

I'm sad that you chose to make this thread rather then address what i'd added in my response to you. This is the type of behavior I was referring to

Show us on the dolly where the bad Goon....er.....CODE Agent bumped/ganked you.

I am always amused by people who come to this game, which clearly defines itself as a non-consensual PvP sandbox where anybody can lose their internet spaceship at anytime for just about any reason, and then act amazed, shocked, and butthurt when their internet spaceship get blown up.

I wonder at the mental state of people who intentionally play a game such as EVE and then are shocked when it turns out it isn't like Star Trek Online.

I wonder at their education and overall IQ. Did they not do their homework? Do not the ads for this game say "Be the villain"? Are there not tons of websites, blogs, and wiki articles full of stories of how much backstabbery, douchebaggery, and asshattery permeate this game?

Also, Russians.

RUSSIANS.

Confuzzled, am I.

I am forced to conclude that these 'people', these.....carebears.....are mentally handicapped sociopaths that think....if it can be called thinking.....that everything should be handed to them on a silver platter and everyone should be forced to play their way or not at all.

Sounds pretty fascistic to me.

Luckily for them games such as Star Trek Online exist, where they can enjoy the Single Player Experience, and never ever interact with any other human player at all.

I encourage them to leave EVE Online, which, for them, is a truly horrible place, and get their Kirk on over at STO.

It's truly a win-win situation for all concerned.

Counter Question to OP.

How do you justify making a behavioural observation on people, when said people are being influenced by outside, artificial motivations and drives?

During actual psychological evaluation and diagnosis, we strive to eliminate as many outside and artificial motivation and drives as we can. Undue external pressures can cause a normally unremarkable psyche to show deviant from norm behaviours. EVE, by it's nature being a video game with it's own laws, rules, and morals being totally separate from the real world, is a perfect example of undue external pressure. The fact that these pressures are accepted consensually is not relevant to the case at hand.

What have you done, OP, to normalize and account for these pressures, in order to come to the conclusion that you have?


(Why yes, I have taken more than a couple courses in psychology. I was actually looking at working in the field, till I changed my mind.)

This is now a thread about nice things about code.

- Elite pvp

Who's next?

CODE. keeps high sec clean by killing all the idiots, bots, afk players, etc. I see them as a large group of Ants. They might look small and weak to some, but they are strong and very effective as a group.

Go CODE. , Grr.. Goons ..... euhh... welll just have fun

youre mad because they are creating content? or that you regret not buying a permit?

I have plenty of popcorn and am looking forward to the OP addressing the above.



- Social interaction in a multiplayer video game.

And I thought the OPs in GD were complete BS

EDIT: Actually no, this thread has inspired me to get me a Bumping Stabber

CODE gives me a good chuckle but it's hard to take them seriously. I don't think they're projecting or anything, just making bold claims that they can never fulfill.

Still, suicide gankers are healthy for EVE gameplay.

Yeah, it can't possibly be because shooting people is fun, and your tears of outrage makes it even more fun.
