If you're a **** in-game, there's a pretty solid chance you're a **** in real life.

OP seems pretty happy with his work here. What I don't understand is why, in this game, is being mean or taking advantage of someone considered a good thing?

Is it that fleeting sense of power over another?

Maybe. :O

Why are you wasting time here then? You have a lot more players out there to educate. Your laziness in making the game a better place is high disappointing and will not be rewarded with likes.

People like the OP are worth 10,000 AFK miners. I'd much rather play a game with people like the OP than with people like the miners he killed. One reason for that, of course, is that people like the OP are actually interested in playing the game, while the miners are just AFK--not really playing at all.

If having all the AFK miners quit the game is the price of keeping suicide ganking legal, I would make that trade in a heartbeat.

Didn't you go to Psychiatric School? Freud said that if you're a ganker in a computer game, you want to fondle your mother with a cigar.

The setting may be fictional but the interactions are real. You may not be physically hurting someone, but emotionally the impact is still very real.

And exposure to that sort of emotional impact is what the victim signed up for when they payed their $15 and logged in. I fail to see the problem with a work of art providing emotional impact.

I didn't say there was a problem. I said the OP's actions in game probably reflects who he is outside of EVE. Then I questioned his reasoning for wanting to inflict negative emotional impact on other players.

He didn't. He wanted to blow their ship up. Their reaction to him doing so is entirely out of his control.

It's like collecting rent from someone who lands on your Boardwalk Hotel.

Confirming I kill people IRL that go about their business with out paying attention. Apart from that, I seem to have missed the part where I purposely inflicted a negative emotional impact. I killed a Hulk, they got upset. I think most reasonable people would agree that it was self-inflicted.

In the end this game may serve as asylum for psychopats to live out their aggression and malice, without hurting people IRL.

However, psychologists agree that this is bad idea and that psychopats should not be encouraged, but instead enlightened that is in their own interest to try and mimic normal people, if they want to get anywhere in life. Cos it is either wall street, or McDonalds, and OP doesn't sound like someone from Ivy League. Lol

So, mr internet psychologist, why is it that that you think people who enjoy PvP in a PvP game are mentally unbalanced?

He knew that, to one degree or another, he would be causing emotional impact. Now, he didn't know how much, but he did know that his actions would create a reaction in another person. He also knew that the reaction would most likely be negative. Yet, he chose to take the risk of causing another person suffering in order to make himself happy. Not even happy, amused.

His statement is not inconsistent with the possibility of the set [reasonable people] being empty.

His actions created the impact that the other player is playing the game to experience. If they've mistakenly picked the wrong game, that is not his fault.
