EVE General Discussion

OK, since you don't like the term Racist, there's lot's of other synonyms that can be used such as Bigoted, Biased, Chauvinistic, Supremacist, Discriminatory, Elitism, Prejudiced, etc. Take your pick, doesn't really matter which one is used, they all basically make the same point.

Strange little tidbit of info, out of all the posted replies in this thread there's only one reply, a spelling / grammar correction between your / you're, that has more likes than my first original reply :

Despite the nit picking done by CODE sympathizers about the choice of terms I used, this reply obviously states what a lot of others think.

I feel oppressed by the bigoted, biased, chauvinistic, supremacist, discriminatory, and prejudiced like-elite. :(

Wow, sounds like this thread topic has hit a sore spot with you inciting you to do a personal attack. Obviously your lack of reading comprehension is causing you to take things personally. My reply was about the amount of likes given to posted replies in this thread, not the amount of likes per character profile.

As for being idiotic, there's no denying that you're the winner of that contest, especially if you think you're the chosen spokesperson for OOPE. Also you couldn't be more wrong in saying I was permanently banned from the game for abusive language and harassment of other players.

Heh, just like a troll you keep on pushing. The only reason you liked the post was to get my attention in an attempt to incite a flame war with the hope of derailing this thread. Sorry to say this but you're sadly mistaken and completely wrong if you think that's gonna happen. I don't know where you get your info but I've never sent anyone an abusive Eve mail threatening them in real life and I definitely wasn't permanently banned from the game.

Why don'y you shut the **** up you lying ****... You just got owned. Please do **** off.

I hear the soft tread of the Lock Master heading our way (they all appear to be men, or at least have male avatars, but since ISD is a volunteer position, I guess you can't interfere...).

So, back to the topic: Are Mining Permits Actually a Thing? (My capitalisation)

Why yes, yes they are!

I don't think it is a case of not liking a term, it is picking the correct term that explains the situation.

Most of the words you say can be used instead of racist, imo, cannot. Bigoted, Biased, Chauvinistic, Supremacist, Discriminatory, Elitism, Prejudiced is essentially believing you are better than others which is confidence on steroids. This can become an uncontrolled force that skews perceptions and produces distortions, if you do not realise it is what it is.
If you are a sex, color or intelligence, these names can be applied. What they have at the root of these names is 1) negativity and 2) freedom of speech.

However, racist is an incorrect term in virtually every case as we are all part of the human race. The only person that can use the term correctly would be a non-human.

What I suggest is that you look seriously at the way you use your words to label. I think you are doing it to get a rise out of people, to trigger a response and that requires some introspection.

They are not a thing. Some players will make you think so though and blow you up. It's a PvP game.

There is a core and near constant (albeit changing) small percentage of EVE players, whom play this game for the very specific reasons of tear-extraction, scamming and bending rules of player interaction to its absolute limit (sometimes past breaking point).

They are endemic to EVE, and constitute part of its character, as an extreme expression and manifestation of its comparative lack of ethic and mechanic constraints.

Some of them are conniving, creative, manipulative and ingenious in ways far beyond the capacity of the overwhelming majority of players, as well as CCP staff. (Im not talking about CODE players now, but of the minds behind its conception.)

The "Bonus Room" debacle was the utmost example of this, and necessarily, eventually, dealt with as going too far.
This showed the extents people are capable of going to in a game, if unrestricted by limitations.
It started to blur past the lines into IRL legal jurisdictions and crimes in many aspects.

Its fascinating from a psychological and legal perspective (regarding the lines between virtual and real environments), but that is a topic for another thread.

Nonetheless, they are a "necessary evil". And useful.

In their own way, they contribute to EVE's character/content, and incessantly test the limits which results in changes in rules or player behavior for a "better" game, and on the limits of gaming systems universally overall (also in a legal sense).

Wow miner, you got some anger issues it seams.

Also Bing is a respected Agent of the New Order and your words are really not how you address a superior.
