EVE General Discussion

Sorry friend, what I am doing is what I claim: bringing player-driven content and player-driven risk to highsec. Whether you see that as being a villain running an extortion racket, or a hero defending my homeland, is completely up to you and judge me as you want. But whatever the case, I am serving as a source of risk and 'culling' the worst of the worst behaviour in highsec, a role which CCP intends for the players to fulfill in this game.

CCP completely intends for newer players to die to other players, just like they intend for all the rest of us to die to each other. That said, the majority, probably the vast majority of kills in the name of the New Order are of veteran players. New players don't fly freighters or exhumers, and while we will not exclude some poor new player from the fun by leaving them on the sidelines of the struggle for highsec, they are not are the primary target. It is the rich, complacent, greedy carebears of highsec that are the largest part of the problem and who are in most need of being exploded.

Play the game how you want, but you probably should stop extrapolating your view of the game onto the whole player-base. Most of us actually like the chaos and competition that this game affords, and the sheer amount of content and entertainment the Code has brought to the game, so just pick your side and have fun playing the game instead of complaining that content is taking place ("I don't mind ganking, but I don't like how you gank!"), or worse, telling everyone that the content needs to stop in the name of new players ("think of the children!").

O hello there Azalyn, almost didn't notice you enter the room. What's that you say? Speak up dear!

Ah, you 'wanna have a good fight that gets your blood boiling'. I see. Perhaps you'd explain to us just how you propose to manage that while dallying in an NPC Corp?

As for the rest of your comment.....

Kindly explain what you mean by the terms 'childish demeanor' and 'a fight that makes your blood freeze' - with examples, if possible.

I've a few things to sort out in an image manipulation app - my bugbear - but when I've done that, I shall return to read what will no doubt be a riveting and revealing comment from you.

Sometimes I don't get it. If something bothers you, or doesn't hold your interest, why not just... Walk away?
"But I love the game, I want to see it -record screech noise-"

Nope. No, you don't love the game. You enjoy the game, sure... But you love the version of the game in your wishes. Not as it is.

So... there is a group that nudges a group of players who are doing something they consider boring. And than there is you, coming to the forum to nudge them for they do something you consider boring.

Ever considered selling goodfite permits?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I support Goodfites!

The holder of this permit will reship and send his buddies home when asked,
in order to provide you as close to 50% chance to win as possible."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far the only difference I see is that one of the sides has style and dedication.

By the way... what's your goodfite/hour ratio? Just to know what are you paying your 15 eucks for..

O I dunno, Erik. My comrades all seem to have a whale of a time in chat. Perhaps folks need to tweak the gain on their fun pot, you know, live a little...

Setting aside the fact that I agree completely with BP and Sasha, I'd just like to observe that telling someone you consider a troll to stop doing what their doing because it BOTHERS you is probably not a great strategy. Long-term-wise.

After more analyzing this statement, I most definitely agree and it proves my point, if you will indulge me. If you are speaking of a potentiometer, in parallel to a capacitor, as is done to set up resonance to allow a radio signal frequency to pass through a band filter,and by "tweaking" you mean to fine adjust something like a rotary knob, as opposed to freaking out on meth, then that is spot on. Your friends have a very unique sense of humor that must sorta be fine-tuned, thus only enjoyable by like minded individuals. Guess that is kind of how you found each other. I am really impressed that you used a metaphor that required such deep though. Well played my friend

I frequent the channel, and let me tell you...

Well, yeah. They do seem more or less uninterested in chatting. Sometimes. But hey, to each their own.

Congratulations on your (hopefully growing) family!

It's entirely possible for a Code enforcer/supporter like myself to carry on a 'normal' conversation. Thing is, who's talking here? For a moment you got Rob, because it was the easiest way for me to make my point. You balked, however, at Sasha's return - back in character.

That reaction is commoner than I thought. I don't get why a bit of tongue-in-cheek play-acting riles some people so very much (perhaps not yourself, but certainly many others). I'm beginning to think there is a personality trait which simply cannot abide that kind of behaviour in adults or in young people. It seems to give rise to impatience, anger, and frustration, in about equal amounts.

I don't want to resurrect the zombie of 'are you the same in real life as you are in EVE?'. It should be obvious that it's impossible to convey the broad complexity of our real selves via an avatar in a point-and-click space sim. Even words are a poor substitute for face-to-face comms.

So, you get Rob and you get Sasha. Take your pick; you don't have to like either!
