Black Prophecy Tears: Ironfrost and his E-Honor
Black Prophecy continues to give me lots of enjoyment. I'd discovered that the character search would not only tell you who was online - on the opposing team - but where they happened to be at that very moment. This made it easy to follow the same player all over the game and shoot him over and over.
Then he brought his slightly higher level friend, and I shot that guy over and over. Since he couldn't kill me before I killed him, I let him get in a few shots. When he eventually left the sector, I opened a conversation with him. What resulted was classic "games are like real life!" e-honor hilarity.
Black Prophecy lacks any ability to save chats, which is extremely annoying, so I had to screen shot everything.

I must say I agree with that pilot.. what you did was pure griefeing/childish behaviour with sole purpose to wreck someones enjoyment. Now I wouldn't say anything if this had any material benefits but killing noobs over and over again is just plain idiotic. If you enjoy this, you should switch to a different game genre, perhaps make 12 year olds ragequit on COD or be an ass on a certain Minecraft server?
Think about it. Grow up.

This is exactly why I think it's more fun to watch the EVE mentality at work from the outside. While I agree that tears are sweet, over-doing it and falling into childishness just makes you look like a fat elementary school bully who eventually gets his ass handed to him.
And on the flipside, yeah... comparisons between real life and video games... >_<
Hm. I recently proved EVE is exactly like real life. I guess Black Prophecy not so much. This also explains why I haven't seen so many Socratic killmails floating around lately -- he's busy playing Black Prophecy. How'd you manage to find him? ;-)
I find it strangely ironic that this guy tried to jump you and make it a 2 on 1 fight, sounds like, but later cries about honor...
"If the devs didn't want me to..." - unless you have that in writing from the very devs, it's a bullshit line used by people who can't stand behind their own actions. Especially since we all know that it's ultimately impossible for a developer to prevent any and all undesired player behavior by code (short of not having a multi-user game at all).
So, if you want to grief - fine; but don't pretend that you're just the helpless executor of some nebulous dev's will.
Welcome, new readers, to My Loot Your Tears. We grief people.
We infiltrate corporations and steal from them; we make agreements and then betray them; we do anything the game allows us to do without violating EULA. We shoot our friendlies and get people frothing mad over a game.
Keep posting, it's tear-icing on top of this tear-cake.
See, now that is an honest statement.
(And I've been reading this blog longer than you might imagine :) )
Intelligence as per Ironfrost. Anyone who disagrees with Ironfrost, obviously Unintelligent.
Great tears with my coffee, thanks Khalia :)
As long as you acknowledge you are being a d-bag Khalia.
You see the difference with Grand Theft Auto is, that it is completely victim-less.
Where as you are griefing a real life human being.
Own what you actually are.
Haha - looks like the kid went to get his older brother who was in the year above to help him, and he was still shorter than Khalia :D
It was a good story until you posted chat logs. Then you just come off as a douchebag, intentionally misrepresenting what he says so you can build a strawman to beat on. This isn't tears - just a guy being civil and reasonable while you scream "WHY YOU MAD BRO". He's not mad, he just thinks you're an idiot.
I'm all for tears, but the only ones I see here are yours.
Black Prophecy is a game - last time I played it, anyway - and the way these hopeless, acne-ridden oiks think they can possibly convince seasoned gamers to compare real life to pixels and bytes just because they once saw Tron, cracks me up no end. GO OUTSIDE and get some natural light on your pasty skin, whingers.
I love hearing how these sad, hopeless plebians get angry and frustrated when they *deliberately* place themselves in these situations and come a cropper! It's a dangerous world inside your computer, but you could always get killed crossing the street in RL!
Keep it up Khalia!
I'd call that stalking, and while like RL, its illegal in RL. Eve doesn't let you track a user so well and so the game developers will have to adjust BP to fix this issue of stalkers, sadly really.
Its a game to enjoy, not stalk silly.
Yeah shot the other, yeah setup teams, roams, but to just repeatedly pick on weaker people that cant defend themselves is more like animal and less like human RL.
How many people might quit cause of this sort of aggression in a game environment?
Once upon a time somebody did something creepy to you, it hurt and now your taking it out on the world. Thats what conseling and or jails are for :)
OBTW.. i thought BP a good intro for Eve, decent graphics and some thinking on tactics.
Dont ruin it for the young kids that are just learning please. I know you can likely clobber 12 year olds .. but why... now go teach them that its a game of tactics and skill, not about cruelty, again, not real life.
... and yeah i think BP is decent for first person spaceship action. More of a young people game thou.
Loool...
"Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose," eh?
I think I'll give BlackProph a go soon-ish...Can you ninja-salvage other peoples' missions, though :)

eeeh, you're doing it now - comparing the game ro RL - I'd call the incident detailed in this post pretty bloody funny, the only reason I use this site is cos these stories make me laugh. Very loud. You will not end up in jail for shooting someone repeatedly in-game. However, if you have a complaint, talk to the devs/GM and raise a dispute. Seriously, I would NOT recommend going to the police. You might get laughed at yourself. You are missing the point of this site, and very much like Eve and BP, if you don't like it, you can always switch off, or go elsewhere - like a bear-forum or WOW. You will never convince me and probably the majority of people RL and game should be treated the same.
.....sorry, missed this corker
quote - *How many people might quit cause of this sort of aggression in a game environment?*
I can't think of a response you'd understand, but here goes anyway - ahem...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I like to define 'real life' as 'interacting with other living, breathing humans'. I'm curious about yours (seriously).
hahaha
failing to continue extracting tears in eve so u go
pound noobs in other games?
Don't bother to answer that, i already left this blog.
quality dropped to much to enjoy it any further.
Khalia:
Ninja-fleet Tear-Op time, soon?
Tarryn: Not unless I start caring about EVE again.
Man, I'm LOLing hard over the comments on this thread.
lolol, loving the comments in this thread more than the story! (which was great btw).
Looks like you've got some new readers Khalia, a fresh influx of new tears.
OH NOES GUYS! ONE OF THE MLYT GUYS WAS MEAN TO SOMEONE IN GAME, QQQQQ.
I'm glad you're still farming delicious tears even if it's not in EVE anymore!
I am not a big fan of Tears or this blog, but I read this post because I wanted to know more about Black Prophecy and how it compares to EvE. Judging by the tone of this blog and the comments, any game that allows asshats to grieve anyone without any way to stop it is not ok in my book. Going to pass on it until peeps like Khalia get bored of it and move on to something different. Let me know when that happens. Thanks.
nom nom nom - they way to stop it, is to TURN OFF!
yea lol.
L2Police your own life. man up and deal with it some how, QQ because the developers arent babysitting your candy ass is just hilarious.
The way these games go, you can grief and it's allowed. People who intentionally screw other people over for fun, are mentally deficient. Yes, popping someone randomly is fun. I've done it once or twice. But REPEATEDLY doing it? Sad. If you want to impress me, and pretty much everyone else, take a small ship, underpowered, like the ones the newbs have, and go fight a more experienced/powerful player and WIN. Or lose. Doesn't matter. That would show 1. brains 2. balls. and 3. you're not totally worthless as a human being. Yes this is a game, and it is fun. BUT that being said, people act in games how they are in real life, but are afraid to show. ie, the writer of this blog is a secret sadist who loves screwing over innocent people because he/she is unable or unwilling to try something hard. The 'tears taste good', is also a sign of someone who is unhappy with their life, and is trying to bring everyone down to their level. The one thing that would make griefing fun (in my book) is a button, or a game mechanic, that when you grief someone, it moves you to a seperate server with the other griefers and let you grief each other. Eventually, that's all you'll have around you, and the sound of YOUR tears and theirs crying over each other would be delicious :)
I AM a worthless game character, but not a worthless human being. I have brains, but am unlikely to develop balls - I have ovaries but I doubt you will even know what they are! I do not blow people up in real life. I do not stalk people in real life. I, and the 'writer' are not sadists in RL. (I trust)
Exactly what words did you put into a search engine to result in you ending up here? LOLOLOLOL
Your tears taste good, - I hope you are enjoying mine! Nyam nyam nyam nyam nyam nyam!!!!!! Slurp.

You'd never know unless you were there too! Nom, nom nom nom nom nom, wet tissues etc............
I'm sorry. Just saying that people who do this in game, does reflect on their personalities. I cannot conceive of screwing someone over (in RL or otherwise) for pleasure. The fact that you CAN, says things. I know someone who does grief in-game. They can't be trusted in RL either. You know the type, typical talk-behind the-back, start drama between couples so she can sleep with their BF's/Husbands. Griefers are the same no matter where they are. RL, in a game, etc. Just because I've run across this blog, and seen other like it, it makes me want to go out and active hunt the griefers ;)
I tried BP, it was fun for a few days, but it gets old very fast. Star Trek Online is F2P now, so far I'm only doing PVE but the mix of space and ground combat makes it a welcome change. I might even give Eve a rest for this.
On the other hand, being a long time reader of this blog, I'm going with Ironfist on this one. His arguments were just better than yours. Looking forward to new content though.
Yea... I love how griefers (IE defined as players whos primary enjoyment in the game is derived from causing other players as much loss and unpset as possible) in MMOs always fall back, laughing, on the "It's not real life, it’s a ‘game’ so I can act in any way I please." argument.
I always wonder though... Are you a completely unfeeling jerk like that with your family and friends when you play a game of cards? or Monopoly? Is this how you act with you younger brothers or sisters or your nieces or nephews in games? Is this how you teach your children to play games? Ha, I doubt it.
I bet you teach your kids, or your younger brothers or sisters, about fairness and respect for others. Not how you can be a complete ass and it’s OK, It’s just a game!
Games are not real life…. But online MMO’s are played by real people with real feelings and when your only enjoyment is to cause them as much unpleasantness as possible for no other reason than you can… no, you’re an ass and a griefer and there is no argument that make that morally ok.
I dare you to let your kids sit on your lap while you play, like I do mine… and explain to them why the people you play with are sooo upset and use bad words at you. Explain why it’s “OK that I upset people so much, honey… it’s just a game.”
It is pretty sad that the only interesting thing happening on this site nowadays is the tired argument of real life vs MMO life.
I wonder if these care bears think that the guy who kills them time and time again in BF3 or MW3 is a stalker and murderer in real life?
Tur, do you let your kids sit on your lap when you shoot people in an FPS and tell them, "it's okay, it's just a game". What's the big difference between shooting some noob who just spawned in an FPS or griefing a noob in an MMO? Also, are people any LESS real behind their consoles/computers in games other than an MMO?
A simple solution to care bears: don't be stupid and griefers can't blow your precious, shiny new space ship up.
That may be true in Eve, but not in BP. His actions there are bordering on harassment. Admitting he did it to get the other guy to stop playing says more than enough. You like to call your victims carebears, sincy you only pick fights you can't lose, I guess that makes you a coward. Shooting a guy once, that's ok, following him over and over to get him to quit is screwed up.
Wahey!!! Rage Quitting FTW
I'm fed up of Black Prophecy now - It's a decent looking game but I can't dedicate the time to leveling up. Skillbooks FTW!
As far as 'picking fights', I used to play Space Cowboy long before it became Ace Online or whatever, and when I was a less experienced player I used to enter the PVP arenas. There were no warnings on the screen as I did so, and I couldn't help noticing that every (and I MEAN, every) time I entered the PVP sectors, I was killed so quicky it took me a few moments to get my bearings back at the castle to work out who'd done it. This was because I just wasn't skilled enough to be able to last against the peeps in there who took delight in popping me over and over before I eventually thought, '....hang on....if I go in there again, I'm going to die...' which was just before I went back to the PVE arenas and continued leveling up and doing consensual PVP when I CHOSE TO. Picking fights? I put myself there deliberately! I was killed by the same guy (who I didn't know) four times in less than 10 minutes, but I certainly wasn't harassed.
Eve is very similar, although I have popped people in HS space though as well as LS - AND I've had it done to me, a lot. You're rarely safe in the Eve universe no matter where you are, but obviously if you decide you want to be a bit more un-safe, you can fly out to Syndicate and see if you can get more than three jumps in from Reblier before someone attacks and kills you. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.................. and if you enter an area where there is even the tiniest of risks you could be killed by someone bigger and better than you (and your corp mates), IT IS STILL YOUR CHOICE.
If you then get repeatedly killed or lose a nice expensive battleship to an AF and decide to leave the game and go try elsewhere because it's unsettling and upsetting for you, that's your choice too.
And as far as this great blogsite goes, what is the deal with people posting to say they don't like it, are leaving it and never coming back? ...........utter hilarity! I bet you'll be back!
Oh no AKeeFa, no one thinks you have the guts to act, in person, to others as you do in the nice safe anonymous environment of the Internet. And I love how you childishly refuse ever answer to the main point, that being an ass to others, because you see it as fun, is not acceptable behavior, in your home at work on in a game. No one here is saying game are “like” real life, no, you need to avoid what they are saying, that it is “real” people in the game that you interact with and that is who you are griefing.
No, please continue to fall back on your age old rhetoric, “It’s not ‘real’ so I can act in any manner I please, if you get upset, it’s not my fault, I’m just playing a game.” even though that is exactly your stated goal, to upset real people. And no I don’t think you are a stalker, or a murderer in RL… you’re just a wannabe bully who hides behind a ‘toon on the ‘net and gets a kick outta being the bully you can never ever be in real life.
And yes, both my daughter and my son, 8 & 9, sit on my lap, or beside me as I play EVE, and Quake, and Halo… and I am completely vicious with the NPCs (they really aren’t real) and I am decent and honorable with those (the ‘real’ people) I PvP against. In case you don’t know what I mean by “decent and honorable”, may I refer you to the best example I know of in game, The Tuskers.
A professional pirate corp who attack without warning, kill your ship for the cargo and salvage, but they hold back on podkilling, they prefer to ransom, if ransom cannot be met, they are good to their word and pop your pod, they are also just as careful to honor their word if you do pay, every time. They would never allow you to fly with them.
I respect the Tuskers, to the same degree as I hold you and your kind with pity. To accept lying and deceit as a way of life, in any venue in your life, is a sad and pitiable estate. I wonder if you would lie and cheat at poker with your friends? At a Casino in Vegas? Tell them, "It's just a game." see how far that gets you.
Yes, a game is a game… but the players you offend are real.
PS- I never “...shooting some noob who just spawned in an FPS”… that is, as I teach my kids, unacceptable behavior. Who knows…. Mebbe your parents are to blame…
Oh and Lou, may I refer back to the origin of this comment thread… and I quote: “This made it easy to follow the same player all over the game and shoot him over and over.” Sounds just like a bully chasing a smaller kid around the school playground… doesn't it?
This is an intentional tactic, and leaves your opponent NO CHOICE. It is the same as our good friend AKeeFa’s habit of, “…shooting some noob who just spawned in an FPS”… again, intentionally leaving the opponent NO CHOICE. Which, of course, is the intent of the tactic, again I quote you Lou, “Rage Quitting For The Win”… to force someone of lesser skills/experience into a NO CHOICE situation.
If you actually did give them the ‘choice’ to leave or keep playing, you would back off and let them up… “But, but… it’s not ‘real’, IT’S JUST A GAME!!!” you cry… Again, yes, it is a game, played by very ‘real’ people. If it didn’t have real players… griefing, rage quitting, your oh so precious “Tears” wouldn’t exist.
No, this is the age old thick necked ignorant bully kicking a younger kid while he’s down… to keep him there, nothing more, nothing less. And it is deplorable in people who considers themselves adults.
@Tur, I totally agree with your post, but all you are doing here is feeding this Troll who craves your attention like a drug. Griefing is nasty and not funny, making a site about it on internet is creepy, bullies (adult or otherwise) will never learn, no doubt about that. Let's move on.
Khalia, face it dude. You got owned by Ironfist. Every way you look at it, you just come off like a childish little 10 year old using 10 year old logic. Even when he resorted to calling you a "d-bag" was totally on the money. LOL!
My word, this is turning into quite the threadnaught, isn't it :)
Has everyone except me missed that the guys name is Ironfrost, not Ironfist? I successfully baited an Ironfist not long ago, and initially I thought it was the same guy..lol.
Wow...Tur...your logic astounds me!
Games are essentially (for me anyway) a chance to unwind after a busy day or week at the office. And the way I play Eve is not the same way you do. I prefer to trick and deceive. You prefer the honourable path in games because, somehow, you feel this reflects on your real life directly. The great thing about this game is that everyone can play the way they want as long as it does not break the rules.
The first time I was ganked while doing a low-sec mission, three BCs dropped in on me and demanded a ransom. I paid and was promptly blown up anyway. I did question their "honour" and "respect" and they replied: "We don't require your respect. We only wanted loot and ISK".
I thought that was funny. You see, I don't take these things too seriously. But you obviously do. Please tell me what is the mature way to react to such occurrences? Keeping in mind this happens in a GAME.
If you bothered to read my post carefully, I was drawing your attention to the fact that anyone who plays a game, regardless of the genre, is in fact just as real as the rest. And in my opinion, there is no difference between spawn killing a noob and griefing in Eve. It is the same thing. And for your information, I get spawn killed often in a FPS. I don't cry about it. I don't stamp my feet and threaten to leave the game. It is just the way it is when you are not familiar with the game. Same as shooting at ninja-baiters like me. They see a thief and get googley-eyed, wanting an easy kill. If they knew better they wouldn't be so stupid and they wouldn't lose their ship and ISK.
Anyone who gets "offended" by the actions of someone in a game is obviously holding on too tight and needs to take a break, and maybe go and get some fresh air.
And you speak about having "the guts" to act in public the way I do in Eve. That is just as stupid a comment as you must be in real life. Sounds to me like you are the person who has childhood issues. Maybe the bullies stole your lunch money once too often? Or called you Turd instead of Tur? I don't know really, but you're obviously very passionate about your over-idealistic views on game play and it's direct relation to real life. Do you get your kids to fire warning shots in Quake and Halo first? That would be honourable....right?
Turn off the PC and go and get some fresh air. Teach your kids to have fun in a game. Hopefully they will not learn to take it as seriously as you do. Games are supposed to be fun, that's what they are for dumb-ass.
Lol AkeeFa - used to love the word 'Turd' when I was a kid - only hear it South Park these days! Other point is why do a lot of the posters use terms like 'lunch money' and 'bullying'? How do these children afford the subscription FCS? Probably a good time to admit I am well into my 30's, only play Eve 'cos it's a well advanced adult version of Brabens's 'Elite' which reminds ME of when I was a kid (tomboy, obviously) and if people want a game without RISK go back to SWG FFS or find a nice browser game - I am one of the best trolls in the internet world and if people post on here to say how bad this site is, how horrid Khalia is and all this other bollocks, they are quite obviously not shedding any kind of eye-fluid at all, are they? Seriously, are they?
Not sheddin one drop of real salt water tears... for you or any sadsac out there who thinks playing’ your way' (as an asshole) is anything but playin at being an asshole.
And I will agree, there are many who take all of this all too seriously... you all think as I have taken the "you have no honor" side of this, that I am a carebear and PvP adverse... LOL. I live in W-space, I LOVE good PvP! We recently attacked, at 3 to 4 odds, another corp running sites in an adjoining WH... killed 4 ships, 1 POD and took 2 ships are prize when their pilots ejected rather than face a PODkill...
The difference tween myself, my gameplay style and griefers such as Khalia, AKeeFa & Lou is.... after it was over, and they had docked up in their POS… we gave a “GF” in local, they responded “GF” and we ended up in a convo with them about the recent engagement , their tactics & fits. We treated them decently. As though we were sitting in the same room with them physically…
The difference between ‘us’ (players who believe that honor has a place in a game) is ‘you’ (players who think honor is a silly concept in a game) is that you don’t treat people. in a game, what ‘we’ feel is “decently”, you feel no compunction against trying your hardest to upset those who you can upset. The noobs and carebears… all the players whose playstyle is not the same as yours. If ‘they’ get upset, ‘they’ are at fault… not you. Even though this, an emotional reaction, is exactly what you want mot to create.
You know… if you really feel the way you claim you do, that carebears and roleplayers are idiots for taking a mere game so seriously… then why do you waste your time with them? Why put so much effort and derive so much pleasure from griefing them? The answer is simple… because without them you would have much less fun here. You would be forced to play solely against players as good as and better than you only. You wouldn’t get the high off of, “…follow(ing) the same player all over the game and shoot him over and over.” (italics mine)
Oh and as re, “Turd”…. LOL! I was waiting on that one… how beautifully juvenile!! Regression to Childish Name Calling FTW!!! Poopy humor, yet to outgrow that huh? My little kids still do stuff like that too… I find it so cute (in children).
I could be ya’lls dad, I’m 51, loving wife, 2 kids 8 & 9 and 3 step kids 28 to 25… I am a Computer Tech with 15 years in my field, I own a 5 acre farm, 12 acres of waterfront on the Ches Bay, a 22’ sailboat and several Jeeps, my family and I go sailing and 4wheelin regularly, I hunt and fish, Oh and I have worked as a licensed P.I., I have held a concealed carry permit since I was 21 and have never had the desire or need to bully or grief anyone for thrills or whatever antisocial high you get from it…
I have a VERY full and fulfilling life… and EVE is my choice to unwind after a busy day also. So whenever anyone has anything to say about me ‘getting a life’… LOL! I quite possibly have a life you would envy (hell, I sometimes even envy me… LOL).
As for me posting here, why… I just love trolling griefers cause they childish rants and tears are soo much sweeter than any ‘bears’!
Your friend, Turd... >.<
Wow - you call a guy a "Turd" and question his tight grip on reality and he just goes BANANAS. ROFL!
You don't think that RANT was full of sweet salty tears? Seriously? "Waaaa, look at me, I've got everything you don't, Waaaa, look at me in my waterfront property and boat with my several jeeps and loving family. Waaa, I'm so great even I envy me". You, sir, are what we refer to around here as a WANKER.
So eager to point out all of those things....and for what reason? To strengthen your argument?? You've got to be kidding, right?
And you still don't even get what I am talking about. I. Will. Speak. Very. Slowly. For. You.
Tears. Are. Great. Fun.
And so is griefing noobs.
I never said all carebears are idiots. I was one once. I've played in Null. I've played in Low. I've played in WH. But I am not here to point out what I liked about those experiences. I have only attempted to point out how sweet tears are when people take a chance and lose their ship. Most don't cry. Some even compliment the game-play and want to know more about it, of which I more than happy to explain to them, respectfully.
And they all learn a lesson. So I am helping and educating, whilst entertaining myself.
So play the way you want - Turd the Eve and Real Life, Ever Honourable SuperHero.
We are not trying to change your gameplay. We are only reporting fun outcomes of ours.
Oh yeh, Mr 51 year old Techy guy. Take some English lessons and spell check if you don't mind. Your spelling and grammar is appalling. Or is because you type angry too? Thanks Dumb-ass.
WOW.I.am.so.Impressed.by.you.
I.will.now.stop.drinking.your.tears.
The.flood.is.choking.me.
Have a Nice day! =]
Like I said...Dumb-ass.
Loooooololololool!
(Come on now Khalia and Paul, come back to EVE where you belong!)
Left with nothing but childish name calling... LOL
Ahhh... my work here is done.
Enjoy your game... =]
And suddenly I'm sad I wrote in this thread.
I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure I addressed your concerns/questions pretty clearly.
One can only assume you are a dumb-ass if you fail to notice that.
I always do enjoy my gaming, I doubt you do :)
This thread continues to provide amusement long after posting. =)
This thread continues to provide amusement long after posting. =)
Sad to see how the once "mighty" have fallen.
Is living in Wspace been that bad to u khalia?
Didn't like the getting killed part?
I'm glad you still derive amusement out of this but
im betting you don't care about EVE anymore because
you're play style burned out.
HAHAHAHA, such a sad puppy you've become.
Have fun in BP now while it last's.
LOL - posting 'GF' in local - Hilarious!
Really Lou? and yet soooo many in EVE do just that, all the time...
Yer in that sad strange minority of people who hate on people for no reason other than just to hate on people bro... and you always will be.
"Sad little king of a sad little hill"
(Posting here is like pulling the string on the Stoopid Doll... "Waaa Waaa!"... LOL )
Hehehe....my god...that Turd guy is hilarious!
What amazes me is that he thinks it's totally acceptable for him to call other posters;
* sad, strange, stoopid (sic), sadsacs, assholes, complete ass, ass, unfeeling jerks, bullies, haters, pitiful AND thick necked ignorant bullies (my personal favourite).....THEN he tries to take the high moral ground and calls people "childish" when someone calls him a nasty name! Boo, hoo :(.
Defensive much? Deluded? Yes! Insecure? Most likely!
You would have to be to believe that you are actually winning the argument AND extracting tears here. Then you claim you are done with this thread (twice), yet you still come back to vomit some more stupidity. Thank you very much though....it is all very amusing, not to mention amazing that you are in your fifties as well! Wow @ that :-0....
One would assume that you had a little more sense by now? :)
This thread is like an old Slant-Six engined Chrysler product...It just refuses to die :)
Hehe, I could never be anyone's 'bro', peeps. I'm female for starters. As for this absolute CORKER.......
Tur - 'I could be ya’lls dad, I’m 51, loving wife, 2 kids 8 & 9 and 3 step kids 28 to 25… I am a Computer Tech with 15 years in my field, I own a 5 acre farm, 12 acres of waterfront on the Ches Bay, a 22’ sailboat and several Jeeps, my family and I go sailing and 4wheelin regularly, I hunt and fish, Oh and I have worked as a licensed P.I., I have held a concealed carry permit since I was 21 and have never had the desire or need to bully or grief anyone for thrills or whatever antisocial high you get from it…'
...what on Earth have I missed? Whoever deleted the post that prompted that pile of total dog’s number twos please repost it so I can see what just happened?? Really not keen on the build up to the private eye and firearm stuff. Likely you are warning people on here you may not only have the ability to find people, you also have the means to cause them serious harm. Unless you had another reason why you posted that, I'd suggest you be VERY careful with that sort of nonsense 'bro'.
Let me just say this to you specifically, Tur – I have never directed anything towards you personally in this thread, despite your numerous up-to-now-failed attempts to engage me personally, but you have got my attention now. I have never had to resort to calling you personally any names, and despite your moral-high-ground and attitudes to trolling/griefing, you may recall (and will no doubt read back now) you have referred to me personally as a ‘sadsac’, an ‘asshole’ (at least) amongst other things, and a few pages up you also admit to being a ‘troll’ yourself despite also bleating your disgust at such behaviour . Whoever one does it to is unimportant, as all internet and MMO users are certainly treated equally by me, unless I make a decision to get to know them. I certainly do not wish to get to know you, and while I may continue to post on this thread and most definitely will on this fantastic, humorous and informative website as a whole, this is the first and last personal response you will have from me – which I will now draw to a conclusion. I would like to consider what I have just posted, and I would also politely ask that while I have no objection to yours or anyone else’s forum generalisations and sweeping responses, I would prefer you do not try to engage me directly again please, you will not be responded to directly if to choose to do so.
To everyone else, while I must admit to *cringeing* when I read some of the responses Tur has managed to squeeze out of people in this thread I should take this opportunity to remind all on here that this thread has NEVER been an argument, and it still isn’t now. It’s is a series of posts, allegations, whines, and some happy, jovial and occasionally angry and loathsome responses to a well put together initial post by Khalia (*bows*) about the MMO related experience of griefing, which I happen to enjoy. I was also a Sith in SWG for years, no doubt that makes me even more evil. THIS has now deteriorated to a point where a site ‘user’ has found it necessary to make an ‘insinuation’ about firearms, experience as a private investigator, as well as RL personal wealth and assets. I would suggest you all KINDLY PACK IT IN and behave. Simples.
BACK TO EVE- ONLINE! (or if Black Prophecy floats your boat……………)
Hey Lou.....the Blog Police just called. They want their siren back.
Seriously though, I think most of the posters here are just having a bit of a laugh, but I will admit using the word "argument" was a mistake.
You probably shouldn't take Tur's insults and attitude to heart. After all, if he came looking for you with his licensed firearm he would do the honourable thing and fire some warning shots :)
As long as when the hand 'concealing' something in the trouser pocket doesn't pull something else out - which it probably would, come to think about it.......
Damn.... AKeefa stole me thunder... and if I may, I was never actually arguing either... just trolling if anything... though, it did take the guise of an argument so mebbe I should apologize too... if so, please consider it offered. However the trolling was as intended, no apologies there.
Read back and you'll see I clearly state I have been posting simply becuse I am loving the wailing and tears my posts have been generating. Such outrage! and over a game.... LOL Sooo.... sweet. Ahhh...
Well, enough is enough and the responses are no longer interesting, just tedious now. Enjoy your gameplay however pleases you... I will continue to do the same... and if we ever cross paths, and end up swapping DPS... no matter who wins, I will send a "GF" in local, as is my custom...
I'm just glad CCP has this sandbox where we can each do both. =]
NOOOOOOOOOO!
::Do not want:: this thread to die!
I kid, I kid...
Looks like it basically has run its' course, tbqfh.
It all begs the question though: Can one ninja-salvage/loot in BP :)
Khalia, when can we see another post? I've been re reading the old ones I'm so hungry for tears.
In response to Tur, it is totally acceptable to be an asshat in a game. If I'm playing monopoly, I will attempt to manipulate the opponents to to my bidding unknowingly. If I'm playing baseball, I'll kick the back line out of the batters box when I step in for that extra few inches, and if I'm playing Hockey, I'll get in a fight for my team mate and throw a few punches. Some of these things are deplorable outside the context of their respective games, but whatever game I'm playing, I'm going to do everything in my power to win or make the game as miserable as possible for the other team. So long as I don't break any of the games rules, I feel no guilt.
To not take advantage of the rules in every way possible to win isn't conducting yourself respectably, it's just being a retard. If the rules allow me to taunt carebears into shooting me, then I am going to take advantage of those rules to the best of my abilities. to do otherwise would only prove that I'm a moron. Incursions may be crazy OP right now, but do I blame Incursion runners for taking advantage of this? Of course not. That would make me a retard
Didn't see Tur's last post until I refreshed. srry 4 bein a ruhhtard guiz :3
My Loot, Your Tears is on indefinite hiatus. I have let my EVE accounts expire. We are busy playing other games.
Perfect, I guess it is time for me to get back to Eve.
Thanks,
Oh, my word, this thread still won't die?
Loools!
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasp... ack!
I miss you broskis.

I think they read about the t20 incident, or hell hired him.
Bottom, fish, bananas etc - my old man's a dustman!!!!

Ah, the best tears of all. Taking your ball away and stomping off in a huff while claiming you're not upset because it's just a game and you're being an online douchebag has nothing to do with how you act in real life.
Though I do want to thank you for accomplishing your own stated goal, and doing your part to improve the quality of EVE players by removing yourself our their ranks.
