OP you're a creative genius and a gentleman and a scholar and given how trolled these mouth breathers are in this thread I'd say you're doing it right.

Everything in EVE is pvp. Dur hur. Market manipulation, combat, mining, hauling. Extract your brain-housing group from your posterier region.

Some days you're the bug, and some days your the windscreen.                   And some days, you're just a man with a gun.

Damn!

I thought it was a sci-fi themed massive multiplayer online computer game, with player vs. player spaceship combat as one of its aspects...

Sorry for the misunderstanding!

At least I have the capacity to accept that things may not be as they seem. Just because you see green grass doesn't mean it's truly green, or that it's even really there. But this is a philosophical discussion for another time.


Spare me the new-age philosophical crap. It's a way for relativists to justify their actions when they can't find a reason in the real world. After all, the world is really an illusion, right?


I love you.

Relativism is a plague that should have been eradicated at its source.


Even in physics?

What I think you meant to say, is that Post-Modernism is a plague that should have been eradicated at its source. And contrary to the beliefs of Post-Modernists, that source was not Nietzsche.

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!

Yes because without relativity we could be cruising space at FTL speeds and having all the blue babes IN REAL LIFE

I did not read the whole OP as I have read amny things like it and know exactly what he was going ot ramble on about, not because it was too long.

That being said the thread as a whole was an epic read ShockedLol

I avoided giving out too many likes, but it took restarint.

Confirming this is indeed a manifesto.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

That post was seriously crazy man I got to admit I didn't read it all but god damn.

Yeah high sec miners are pretty lame, why they even play the game at all is beyond me. I have always thought profitable rocks should only be out in low sec and null sec to create more PvP/industry hybrid corps, but sadly I guess CCP does not share my thoughts. High sec miners simply do not get the entire experience of eve or even seem to care, I think they just get off on the fact that they can make more cash in a video than in real life and it gives them a self esteem boost lol.

OP, I applaud your level of insanity, and condemn the depths of your megalomania.
Few would take the time to write such a coherent troll, though. So well done.
Do us all a favor and click that little skull at the bottom of your selection screen.

Why do people play Zombie Farm or Sim City? Some people like a mundane, monotonous activity like munching rocks. Their enjoyment comes from maximizing yields by manipulating fittings, ships and tactics.

It aint for me but I don't begrudge those that dig it.

Also, this is further evidence to me that both are needed, suicide ganker and miner alike. We get too much of either camp and everything breaks down. I don't root for either of you, rather I root for both, simultaneously.

Yeah "I'm a **** with way way way too much time on my hand."
No one should write this much about about a video game..hell reviews by professionals aren't even this long. Hell some guides on eve aren't this long.

I'm actually curious why gankers wish to explain themselves or say seek approval. I always figured it was for kicks. Also whats the difference between a high sec bot and a 0.0 bot? I figured both were bad.

Just imagine if all these people were applying their massive brainpower for optimizing actual real-life processes and for scientific research.

For example, I'm this close to using Matlab to determine exactly where in terms of system security status it becomes more efficient to use artillery alpha rather than blasters, but each time I open the file and start coding I just feel bad for wasting this much effort on an game.

Macro mining? Are you kidding? If we wanted to waste our time picking up the pennies like you guys do in highsec maybe. We have much more profitable opportunities.

I think I've gathered a total of like 1000 veldspar for a mission once...and I think I've ran probably close to like 6 missions ever....

Wrong, Its not a pvp game at all. Its an open world mmo that you can do pretty much whatever you want. For you its a pvp game, big ******* difference mate.

I would say you should know that, but you are in test after all.

Don't ask about Italics, just tilt your head.
