This is exactly what I mean. Cultural elitism is being used to stir up irrelevant points because of some "posting" superiority. It is crazy.



No, you're just madder then a bag full of cats, and you don't get that you really need to spend more time meeting real people and socialising rather then going onto internet forums or spaceship games, getting trolled due to previous situation vis a vis bag of cats and then going nuts when you take it personally.

This is like, what, the 3rd time I've seen you start publicly posting stuff which is just going to attract that sort of attention?



No need to get personal.

Just trying to give you some advice, as your personal experience is nothing to do with elitism and everything to do with how you have acted, but hey knock yourself out.

I don't, but I feel that pubbies should be allowed to have a peace mind when interacting with people from such alliances. I am happy building a strong "pubbie" alliance which caters to the rejected and neglected.

Thanks. I think its best to put what's in the past in the past - the goal of all pubbies now is to form a strong alliance against the oppressors. Slowly and surely, a strong network of infrastructure can be built through industry and PVP. I was given permission to make new accounts.

The non-pubbies are frequently attacked verbally and physically by these alliances.

I was "attacked" by Mittens last night and it was glorious.

So when you are asked pointed questions about your past behavior, you want to distance yourself from it, where you tried to use the same past to your advantage just a few posts earlier. Haha.

It boggles my mind that you were allowed back into EVE.

I see a lot of threads wherein pubbies say "Let's work together to stop goons"

I have yet to see a decent attempt at it or a good reason as to why goons should be stopped.

There is one simply reason why they should be stopped. They upset people.

Haha

It seems he was refused because he makes too many dumb threads on Reddit.

Look at his posting here.

Is this in any way a surprise to anyone here, at all?


That (d)reddit screens people based on post quality?

Yes, that is pretty shocking considering the site is a nexus of bad posting

Well people need to get a sense of humor then. If you let people in a game that is supposed to be fun upset you, maybe games are not your best outlet for fun. Big smile

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

Preencleeve,

Please stop posting and get some professional help. This culture of elitism that you're trying to campaign against really isn't there. I'm in Dreddit with a reddit account that has zero posts to it, and beyond the trash talking in local there is no elitist attitude that all TESTies and Goons have toward the rest of EVE. Sure we sperg about our enemies and point out their flaws, but that's no different than any other coalition or alliance in the game. Goons and TEST rejected you because of who you are, not because of their origins or cultural perspective.

Just stop while your right now. You need to step away from the computer and go have a real life. Find some to talk to who will hear you out, a friend or a professional, and sort out your problems. That's my professional opinion as an educator.

Wait what? They hurt people's feelings?!?!?! EvilEvilEvilEvilEvil

Now I must denounce anyone from Goons or Dreddit. Death to the elites!

OP you're moving a bit...quickly and a bit too grandiose for your own good Smile Take a step back and plan goals one thing at a time!

Highsec won't just suddenly rally to stop the goons when most highsec players don't even know they exist Blink

I don't know, I kind of like his energy towards it all! Just a little uh...unfocused.

What do you teach? If you think a few posts on the internet means you should get professional help...

I'm in special education so a little of everything. I mostly work with kids with emotional or behavioral issues. I can't say for sure if you would be recommended for one of my classrooms (it's not easy to assess someone over forum posts, chat logs, and sound bytes) but based on what I've heard and seen your best option is stepping away from the keyboard and talking to someone face to face who will hear you out.

Test Alliance is regularly rejecting 2 year + active posters on Reddit because they're posting several threads everyday.


got to here and stopped reading, because it's complete bollocks.

i was in test a few months ago, when they'd just started to fight in the south. i don't post on reddit, never even been on reddit. you're talking complete ****.
also, the people in test are great.

if you want to post something against a group of people, you might want to get your facts straight. at the very least, you may want to stop using one off cases and infrequent events to try and prove a point, it just makes you look foolish.
