Was pulled over by a state highway patrolman for speeding. He saw the eve online sticker on the back of my car. First question out of his mouth was "Are you with goonswarm?" I said no. He said "Good, I'll just write you a warning for speeding".

So yeah there are grudges in eve.

That said, today's reds are tomorrow's blues, and vice versa. If a grudge isn't generating content, then it's stupid and you should probably get over it.

That's funny you say that, I remember you from last year and what I remember was that you pull a similar stunt to what goons do with their recruitment scam except 9 times out of 10 you awox as well as steal their ****.

Please elaborate on your generating content statement as surely awoxing and stealing is counter-productive when it comes to content creation.

You must have very a very different definition of "content" than I do. If anything, his awxoing and stealing wasn't of a large enough scale, because I didn't see an awesome story written about it. Maybe I just missed it somewhere.

Bearing ill will towards another player to such an extent that it affects my gameplay seems altogether tiresome, and something I haven't the time for.

Either that, or I can't remember their names...

QTF. They killed our stuff so now we are killing theirs. Stuff explodes, economic wheels turn, game stays interesting. It has nothing to do with personal grievances per sé, but with cause and effect. The people I 'hate' most are also those I respect most for their cunning. It's roleplay at best to attack them back. The people that annoy me on a personal level I'm quick to dismiss, I play for fun not to be an internet tough guy.

Conflict fuels Eve.

Grudges are for people that take their spacepixels too seriously.

Well if you want to get technical man then grudges are what cause conflict and conflict is what causes content. My ultimate goal is create content so maybe I have a grudge or two of my own i'm acting on ;)


This is not true, you can have conflict without a grudge.

The point is a grudge has a personal feeling of ill will or resentment. This is not required to create content.

Please give us your definition of content. You seem to be terribly misinformed.

Grudges.... it would be so nice to play one up, a "revenge trip" of sorts. I have reasons. But there's a part of me that simply sees this as a game and it seems asinine to have a grudge or seek revenge for a loss or kill.

Maybe it's experience or age or both, but working myself up for a real world feeling in a virtual world just does not feel like it's possible any more. When I was rolling D20s at the age of 11 things were different. But that was a long time ago.


Or maybe it's real world expectation? Having experienced so much in real life how horribly fast things fall apart just when it feels like things are going good, there's no room left to feel it in a video game where such matter or result is designed into it?

Long ago I cleaned up the watch list, noted the gankers and pirates of olde who I made a note to "get revenge on". I looked them up - most of them are gone and the rest are sporting titles like "POS queen" now. It's a wonder if they feel like the "won" the game or not.

Yeah, I can see the grudges on a larger scale just from living where I do in game and dealing with them. But on a personal level, no. I always have fun, specially when I'm in a fleet kicking Russian butt back to npc space where they belong =) Or the CVA/VOLT fleet from earlier today, nice try guys and come again.

EDIT
Actually just thought of something, we had this cyno camper in system for like two weeks straight. Granny two shocks, despite him getting killed like twenty times he would always come back. That was pretty annoying, but even more fun killing him so I wouldn't really call it a grudge. But he's defiantly earned himself a place at the top of the kill list.

People wrote articles about me, contacted me for interviews, and were so inspired by my antics (either as victim or observer) that it led them to start their own "criminal lifestyle", or at least keep playing EVE because of the "interesting personalities you can meet". If that's not content then I don't know what is.

@ Xuixien .. you must be so famous everyone knows your name, oh wait I doubt many have heard of your name and I doubt anyone would care about you. Want to know why? .. what you do people only find interesting for a brief amount of time and only carry it on for so long. Also it would seem the articles on your 'antics' were not important enough to stand out from the many others out their about 'criminals'.

I usually don't hold grudges, but there are a few things that annoys me in games, and if you annoy me, I will mark you as a terrible contact and will consider you "Kill On Sight!" Should I ever come across you with suspect status or if I see you in low or null, and I will make a point to hunting you down and making you watch as I blow your ship to pieces.

Love ya'll =D

It is not a grudge, but I would blow up Muctep Puma if I ever have a chance. He was the first to blow up me space pixels Pirate
