Whoops. I thought his method of charging windmills with his lance was a bit odd.

Seems legit.

I'd like to know if any CCPers who play the game get pissed off at the low quality of patches released.

Actually, not really. I just wanted to point it out.

Also, I've removed some posts in which people were actually proclaiming to be CCP alts. Even if you're joking, it's not allowed.

Haha I could see this.

Do you also spam? "Need plex and only have 450 mill. Please send 100 mill so I can keep playing"

Quite a few of us play regularly. As noted above there are some aspects of gameplay that we do not engage in as part of a general policy (suicide ganking is one), we always do our best to understand every aspect of EVE.

Why is suicide ganking forbidden? Maybe if CCP employees actually explored it instead of listening to the wail of wretches who would otherwise be wailing about how they need to be at their keyboard twice in one hour for their mackinaw, CCP would be less likely to make unwarranted nerfs to suicide ganking.


The use of the word, 'wretches' again by a goon person. See posts by Andski for details

Looks like they are given a 'word of the month' to use by their corp.

Still, beats them having to think for themselves.



Ahh you have stumbled upon the obvious, why do people join the Goons or Bob or any of the other big guns., the reason is because most people like life easy and follow the "in" crowd. By doing this by proxy they think they are cool be default.
So when people (you can call them sheep) do this because they are aware they aren't actually cool (for want of a better word) anything they see as cool they will jump on quite quickly.

So when one of their leaders uses a new WOTM they straight away start using it because they think they will be seen as cool as the higher-ups.

Playground mentality at it's best. Something we have all done and something we will all continue to do.

I bet they aren't allowed on voice comms. I'ld recognize an Icelandic accent in no time at this point. And Fozzie's and Kil2's voices are pretty easy to recognize.... unless they use some sort of voice masker...Pirate

yk


Don't worry, that accent is nigh indistinguishable from just about any scandinavic accent out there.

The Vikings were really busy colonizing every really dark, cold and harsh region in europe and iceland. they even tried north america, but I guess Kanada was to warm for them.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.
