TIL that actors who play villians, serial killers, bank robbers etc are sociopaths.

Especially since the OP's claim is fake.

Code caters to that, in fact CCP caters to that as well, the "be a villain" ad sadly does not attract the GHSC kind of guy or the eve bank heist kind of guy but the small sociopath arse**** kind of guy. Which is why CCP should really think about that kind of Ad campaign since its not the schoolyard bully that made EvE famous but the guy who invested months and years for his heist.

I would not mind if Code was just another pirate gang, in fact I find the miners permit scam very much in line with EvE's general gameplay but Code members have time and again trespassed the boundaries of what can be called human behavior which brings me to the point were I do not believe them to be roleplaying arse**** but being RL arse***** as well.

why thank you polarising nameless faceless npc.
Now i see that i hunt my fellow capsuleer because i am in fact a Sociopathic predator with a perphensiy for collecting corpses in real life.
how did i miss this all these years well adjusted family life.

I rather doubt that enjoying a videogame requires a specific personality type.

Well, you may be right, but I know many who don’t have the personality and therefore interest, to enjoy playing video games. Hard to believe, right? Lol

That, or because it's just fun? That's what videogames are for, after all.

That and because it’s fun, if it appeals to your personality, otherwise it wouldn’t be fun and it wouldn’t be fun if it didn’t appeal to your personality.

I’m not arguing in any direction, was actually just agreeing with what Christina Project said: that whatever you do, in RL or in game, is merely a reflection of your personality.


Quote:
No, I really don't think so. You do realize video games are make believe, right?

Of course i realise that. Big smile However, you need to see that there are two parts in what I said:
1. What you do in RL is a reflection of your persona.
2. What you do in-game is a reflection of your persona, albeit an in-game persona, it’s still you who created it.
So, condense the two above and you get: What you do in RL or in-game are both reflections of your persona.

Why would you mention that your spouse, child, friend died in a video game chat? What are you trying to accomplish with that?

I have got to call you on this, because it's BS. Having spent (at the risk of dating myself) the last three decades playing various roleplaying games, I can tell you that people are quite capable of playing personas that are very different from their actual persona.

I have role-played everything from the beacon of morality good guy persona to the sociopathic, psychotic, baby eating (literally) flesh flaying bad guy, and I can tell you I am, IRL, neither of these things - I'd consider myself an average guy with a family and too many bills.

I am sure that activities like suicide ganking do attract their fair share of internet assholes. So do the forum comments sections of most major news organization websites. That doesn't mean that these people are actually assholes though, and that's what people need to get over. When you start taking these activities as a personal attack on you and your playstyle, you're the one that's probably got the issue.

Whilst I personally would not want to see any player banned I have to say that the kind of disrespectful crass alluded to within this thread is of very poor form. Those are very painful real life issues that that Guy is now trying to rebuild his life around, and should not ever be the nourishment for taunts and ridicule.

Hopefully the people involved can all get together on mumble or some such and talk it over, swallow some pride and even consider ye olde humble apologies for a friendly conclusion to a quite embarrassing episode Idea

Stuff like this is what starts things like this whole mess that this thread was about in the first place.

How about you all chill out, and treat other people with the decency you would want them to show you?

Seriously, we're all here to try having a good time.
For some of us, that's building sandcastles.
For others, it's kicking them over.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
