What? Are you saying people shouldn't get to know each other because...why? It's trolling? Not sure that the word means what you think.


Negative

im saying that it is possible a highly sensitive topic may not be handled correctly by 450 anonymous people on a corp chat

I have no issue with getting to know each other quite the opposite, do a couple of missions or mine ops pvp roams and the you have fleet chat or comms you now go beyond strangers and Rl topics can be brought up

but

I find that their is no innocents in a chat situation, from the trolls take advantage of newbs to the people who bring in RL issues that react badly in what is a often light-hearted and sometimes brutal environment Smile

TBH, this is unavoidable. You are playing a game where everyone in the world is on the same server (minus china... damn them) you build friendships and a sense of community. This is unfortunately human nature. and its even more so in our game, where loss has meaning, be it ship loss, sov loss, or pod loss, it all has meaning.

We eventually can create the same mentality as a military unit, where everyone feels a bond to the men and women they fly and fight with. This tends to cause people to open up about real life stuff, or chit chat about things they find interesting. This is human nature. it can;t be avoided in a game like this.


Very true but it will never be responded to correctly in a public chat with anon toons...most others have their own issues and will happily teke it out on the first one the deem applicable my solution online counselling...should it be a thing?

it is still a topic that should be spoken about as a way of monitoring social interaction in a MMO and as a way of ensuring that skin can be thickened while still knowing when the line has been crossed

the hell is eggnog

Seems it's some kind of insidious Christmas drink. I say insidious, because it seems people start off with them just for the Christmas spirit and the milky nutmeg flavor. But at the end, they're yelling, "Hey you, get me another DRANK!" It's like they accidentally skipped 6 days ahead to New Year's Eve. Kids, just say no to eggnog.
Eggnog is too stronk, and apparently a former Eve economist

I find it to be a delightful beverage to have with a slice of toast and a cup of raisins Lol

Unfortunately eggnog is not an all year round sort of thing and my surprise batch for the thread has long since dried up Shocked
