Crime & Punishment

Hi Zet,

Physiologically speaking, I'm not quite sure how you manage to 'sniff' tears. Pray enlighten us.

To help you, here's some basic information which you should find useful:

In order to sniff (actually 'smell') tears, you would have to apply your organ of olfaction quite closely to their source; a cheek perhaps, or the corner of the mouth. That in itself should be an amusing sight.

You are also assuming that tears are scented in such a way as to be detectable by that means. Frankly, I doubt it.

Anyone discussing 'tears' in connection with ganking usually refers to them obliquely by using the terms 'salt' or 'salty' - which should give you a rather large hint as to the physiological locus of the organ responsible.

Do not enter C&P unprepared, or post carelessly; your text will be closely examined and torn to shreds if found wanting.

Hi Duo,

I should have thought that rather obvious. I've frequently almost passed out in the elevators of some of London's social housing estates.

However, we were discussing 'tears'. I defy any human to 'savour' them by sniffing. According to Wikipedia, tears are composed of water, mucin, lipids, lysozyme, lactoferrin, lipocalin, lacritin, immunoglobulins, glucose, urea, sodium, and potassium. Among these, only urea stands out - but urea has no taste or smell in its normal state.

Are you and Zet in this together? Applying your noses to peoples faces and tissues, pursuing that eternally elusive fragrance?

I'm deeply shocked.

I did warn you about posting carelessly in the Dragons' Den which is C&P.

Do keep up, Roman, you're holding back the others!

This went from somewhat serious arguing to AG being idiots again and "sniffing tears"

You're showing your toxicity to the whole of C&P, yet CODE. are the "bad guys" for playing by the rules.
Pvp is what EVE is supposed to be about, not the opposite like you carevears all want. Pvp is the thing that made EVE what it is today, consensual or not.

By crying endlessly against us, and by getting nerfs to Ganking, you're not only taking away your own content, you're taking content away from people all over the game... Bumping isn't exclusive to highsec, the hull changes weren't exclusive to highsec, yet it has/will changed all over the game..

Why, because a small group of highsec neckbeards couldn't "counter" some relatively easy stuff to counter.

At this stage, why don't we turn this into to hellokittyonline and have rainbows shoot out of our rear ends?

Do you even know how to counter arguments?
Only thing I've seen you do is cry over and over and over in the ingame chan when all of your "arguments" were countered XD

P.s. I know reading is hard, but I suggest you go read the forum rules ;)

Today I will tell you a little story, a story about Alice a pro gamer and Bob a self proclaimed 'good guy':

Once upon a time in a household somewhere on earth there was a game of Monopoly played by Alice and Bob. Alice had some strategy worked out how to go about the game, she really liked to play competitive games, enjoyed the challenge and used all the rules of the game of which she was perfectly aware of. Bob on the other hand was not really interested in competitive gameplay, he was just there to build houses and hotels. Obviously if Alice stepped on a field Bob owned she had to pay, that was part of his game. On the other hand if Bob stepped on a field Alice controlled he immediately called it harassment. Why would Alice just steal his stuff, he was not interested in "PvP" he was a house builder.

As time went on it became obvious that Alice completely dominated the game and Bob failed all the time, constantly, at every opportunity. He felt quite harassed by Alice who wrecked all his stuff in order to win the game they both agreed to play. Soon Bob started to cry for help from his mother: 'It's unfair mom! Alice abuses the rules and is constantly wrecking my stuff! She is harassing me and I wish she would die "in-game"!'.

The mother was quite concerned, Bob even threatened to quit the family with all 20 accounts if the "harassment" continued. "Well then.." she said, "Bobs houses are now twice as much worth as before, I am sure that will fix things! "

Alice protested, why would mother just change the game in Bobs favor, it made no sense. After all this was a game and she always followed the rules. She would probably still wreck Bob, since his playstyle was quite stupid. Bob on the other hand was ecstatic, he pointed at Alice and said "Haha you griefer, you had it coming abusing all those rules. I really love how you cry now, wait I get a bucket for all those tears. I hope you get cancer "in-game"".

They played many more games together, Mom was always just a cry away to adjust the rules in Bobs favor. Still, he got always wrecked by Alice but was always hopeful that the next time mom changed something it would change and he would be the winner.

The end

Zet, if I look at your killboard and at your posts I would say you are the typical Bob.

Last time I undocked to get a fight from you loud mouths, you all ran back to provi hahahahaha
It must be because... The Code ALWAYS Wins! Hahahah

First off, what does my killboard has to do with anything? Killboards mean nothing to some, we have other goals.
Will you people finally get it through your thick skulls, that EvE is not only about PvP, but about all other aspects like PvE, Trade, Industry, Hauling, etc.? Since you proclaim it is sandbox and you can do anything you want, so can I, and while I accept PvP, I don´t go looking for it, I rather do other stuff in this SANDBOX. And the sandbox lets me, but even sandboxes have its boundaries, so the sand don´t spill out everywhere, which leaves you with no sand to play with.

Stop comparing rather simple game of Monopoly to complex mechanics of EvE. It is just desperate attempt to generate any credibility.

I accept suicide ganking. Sure, if game lets you and you like it.

But understand this.. For sandbox to be enjoyable for everyone, you have to give everyone the same tools to play with and this is not the case. CODE/Suicide gankers in the Hi-sec have the upper hand. You claim carebears have it easy in Hi-sec, but it is you, who benefits from Hi-sec the most.
Thanks to Hi-sec, there are minimal consequences for your behaviour. There are no tools for us to fight back, to drive you out. We are left with fitting extra tank on our ships and wait until you get tired of bumping us or get killed by CONCORD for attacking you.
If we actually fight back, you just hide, you don´t face us. Truth is, you like creating content only for yourselves. And even, if we face you, we cannot drive you out of Hi-sec, THE SANDBOX WON´t LET US. You want your sandbox only for the fun stuff, while not giving us any options.
And if you think, it is fun for PvP players to sit in belts and wait for gankers to show up, it is not. Also, the mechanics won´t even let these players pre-emptively strike against you. Once again, sandbox favouring you.

And don´t let me start on CODE bullies and their sociopathic website and in-game troll attemps and baiting.

This is about correcting the flawed game mechanics and elevating the game field for everyone, while you still having more tools than us.

Imagine you doing this in Null-sec. It would be very easy to kick you out. Sadly, in Hi-sec, it is not.

All you CODE scrubs do here is crying for more entitlement. :D

I was saying "I wasn´t there", because you said "you".
I am not looking for PvP and also such one fight would have no meaning or use for me, since it doesn´t affect you in any way.
Looks like someone is outta arguments, resorting to e-peen stroking. Oh, lawd.
You don´t need chatlogs to prove your arguments. You can do it here, right? If you supposedly beat me there, you can do it here, huh..

Next step is to prevent Gankers with -5 or lower status to be able to dock at NPC stations and have them as home stations.
