If by "man up" in this context you mean that being a man means
- to learn accept getting ****** over
- to not use strenght to help yourself and others
- to only to beat down on the weak, not resist the strong
- striving for the quietness in injustice rather than for risk and adventure in liberation
Well...
What a pitiful, cowardly, servile existence you desire.
Poor you.


There is a Team America video about this subject that I so want to link, but it might get me permabanned :) .

it really is too bad we can't talk politics here, because Zlug's post is a great example of the personality traits of those who follow that particular ideology.

ISD... Please close this SJW thread. It's an insult to Chimps.

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

Just for clarification: are you saying you have a good and valid argument, but CCP is hindering you to use it? By any means feel free to make your point other than suggesting something ungraspable (and thus non questionable) unless that was your goal all along.

I have a funny feeling that I know which video that is Twisted

As for the subject matter, if you can't afford to pay a sub or are unwilling to put in the work to accrue the isk for a PLEX then you shouldn't be playing Eve.

Eve is a luxury item, it satisfies no essential needs; moreover it's an intangible luxury item with no value beyond that of entertainment, which can be provided through other, cheaper and more tangible items such as books.

I managed to keep my account active whilst unemployed, somebody in work should have no problem doing the same.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

the only part of this subject that bothers me is every time there's some capfleet battle, someone in the media picks up the PLEX Cost - ISK Destroyed summary and makes it look like Eve players are a bunch of rich sh!tlords playing video games while women, children, minorities, and LGBT are dropping dead in the street right outside the house for lack of virtue signaling and funding and everything else that we should all feel guilty about every two seconds.

Then I end up having to explain that no, this stuff never really cost any money and Eve players do not spend more than the cost of a sub or PLEX and there are many who seldom pay real $$ to play.

As for paying for someone else's account - well as much as that would be a nice thing to do, unless there are individuals who choose to do it, there's no way to fairly provide it. That is, if they upped the cost of sub or PLEX to subsidize players, it would not be right. It's also not going to save anybody: if you can't afford a PLEX or sub, you probably can't afford the internet connection.

And beyond that, who wants to subsidize someone sitting at a café all day playing Eve on free wifi? Hey, get a job. Oh, no jobs? Overthrow your government. Oh, you live in a democracy? Have a civil war then. Oh don't want to do that? Well then you don't get to play games either.

Pool a few of your friends and give some isk/charity PLEX to people you know. or give them to some new player that positively impress you. Both options avoid the major pitfall of your idea: having to thrust someone decisions about who is deserving and who is not.
Experienced players generally can earn the in game money to buy a PLEX (if they have the time to log to play long enough). In theory they shouldn't have too many problems staying subbed without the need to use RL cash.
If they can't gather the money generally it is for lack game of time, giving them isks/PLEXes won't resolve that.

All these socialist ideas rampant on earth are reaching the depths of space. We must make sure they never pass the new Eden gate so we can be safe from their guilt inducing indoctrination. Stand firm. You have worked hard for your right to party.

Party on.
