So I got banned from Eve, again.

When you get banned from something, you can complain.

When you get banned from something repeatedly, you should probably start to look at your behavior.

You are now officially in the latter category.

A whole month. How did you stand it?

The only person worse than an isk beggar is an isk buyer. I loathe them with a passion.

And if players are going to beg for isk, they should expect the abuse.

Its really nice to hear CCP takes care of those who cant speak in a proper way

If you dont like isk beggers then kill them or hire someone to do it for you

Oh and next time you get banned, be prepared to be away even further

hmm, ive been wondering on getting back into EVE... just dont know...

People that need bad language to express themselves might consider the virtues of sarcasm should any moments of lucid thought pass their way (an example!).

Clever sarcasm will more easily avoid Moderator wrath while dealing a much heavier blow against your intended targets.

---stripping account---

Sarcasm has no limits, except by the imagination or intelligence of the one attempting to weild it.

For the half of a year i was in EVE (again) from November to march i only saw a few isk beggers. And in goonfleet it was looked really nice apon if you helped out a newbie to get started abit faster.
Ive come across a few people in EVE that said on the chat that they just needed the last 100,000isk to get a battleship or somethimg. So i normally send it if i could afford it. No big deal when i enjoy mining and helping out

But as i started my alt, i saw the starting corp being spammed with isk sellers like mad (:( so i send in petitions and got lots of people banned from it.
They ruin the ingame economy, since they strip all the smaller areas for resources so that new players have a harder time getting any and a good price for it as well. Ive even heard that some isk farmers have like 10-20 accounts running at the same time doing nothing but mining and selling it for real cash.
I do like the idea that CCP came up with, that you can buy timecards from other players with isk. Made me stay a few extra month hehe.

I was a proud member of Battlestars that was in the goonfleet alliance. The goonfleet forums... wow i gotta say... if you just happens to get in there you will feel ashamed of the human kind. The language they use is very very bad when you first see it. They used the N word alot among others. I choose not to use there forums unless for trading. But from what ive been told, they didnt mean any harm with it, it was just how the community have created itself, it was some sort of slang i think.

Its just a matter of time before i start in EVE again.. lol

Meh, enjoy the ban and get into RL.

For those interested in Eve, after 5 or so years of cold war the 4 major empires have just gone to war, there are some crazy events going on, feel free to check it out. My name is Jae Kalen in game feel free to look me up.

The joy of eve is that there is a consequence for everything. 1 guy stole some wrecks out of a corpmates mission. so for the next 3 days we scanned him down and suicide ganked him repeatedly to make a point....lot more fun then flaming someone and getting banned (for the 2nd time.....)

The last thing I need when I switch off work, and settle down for a game of ... (anything) ... is to end up in the middle of some egofest where the mechanics of the game are almost incidental. I face enough of that silly nonsense at work, where people are more concerned about their reputation, than doing what they are paid to do. Its why I have never got into multiplayer games of whatever nature.

Some people get so wrapped up in the whole "power" thing, they lose touch with reality, and are surprised to learn those outside the virtual world they inhabit could care less, far less be impressed with being the latest "Emperor of Klingon Space" (or whatever).

Doubtless there are areas/games where ego is less of an issue, and thats fine, but I gave up long ago trying to find one! Thats not to say people are wrong in playing them, of course not, that would be silly, we are all different in what we like or want. Its "horses for courses" at the end of the day, but its not how I chose to spend what free time I have when I want to "relax"

I was evaluating about trying these Eve on-line game I always hear on the web.
Thanks to this discussion I'm now convinced I'm not goin' to try it ever.

Thank you guys!  

what convinced you not to try it? why not try a free 14day trial?

To me its a game ill return to again and again.. not sure why, but its just very addictive for some unknown reason

Well, I hope you did a better job of getting out of Detorid than I did. I logged off in the station system we were taking at the time and never logged back on.

Recently I heard from a guy that still plays that apparently GoonSwarm lost the invasion big time and is pretty much back in square 1 - which basically means Detorid should be crawling with BoB.

If I ever go back, that'll be fun to get out of...

im in the fat*something name, err or so i recall the system. Thats where i still have all my stuff.
If BoB have that area again... gosh... i bet it wont be easy to get all my stuff away.. bye bye 800-1000 mill isk
If i return again, ill be in the Battlestars corp again. Lots of nice people And DREDD with all hes good stories

You know.. talking about this stuff is baaad karma.. now i start thinking even more of joining again.. I even visited Battlestars forum to look

I am been in Eve for a few months now. Its fun especially with the corp I Join ASSAP/VTIL. I hate Beggars. I just tell them to shut up and leave and then block them. Eve is fun once you get into it and get some skills. Now there is faction wars now between empires. Also my corp has 8 or 10 contracts to kill off other corps so we are happy too. Also if you looking for a fight join us or just attack us or attack our alliance buddies cause so far everyone we fight gets owned.

I dunno about FAT, that's in Catch, though I doubt BoB would leave it alone unless IAC broke off from GS and sided with them.

I think about coming back sometimes, but the biggest draw for me is the massive fleet battles, which are also EVE's main downfall. Until they make the servers capable of handling even 200 players, I'm done losing battleship after battleship while still "loading"

I got banned from LOTRO for swearing in a GM ticket. I was highly irate at the moment and got verbally out of control. In retrospect (and even at the time) I knew I deserved it.

Swearing is generally a low grade way of getting your point across and while f-bombing can be fun and relieve stress, it's not widely accepted. It's entirely possible to communicate effectively and even verbally/psychologically abuse someone if so desired (like a beggar) without resorting to language that'll bring you grief.

Strictly speaking, I believe there is no such thing as foul language, only foul intentions. But practically speaking, those of us who enjoy very coarse words need to make sure we're amongst friends before we let them loose.

I'm actually pretty impressed to see Stardock tolerating the moderate swearing around here, yet I still feel obliged to keep my frakking fingers in line even when some mewling wanker drives me 'round the bend.

p.s. Is it sarcasm to throw some naughty Brit slang into a mostly-US forum? Bollocks, it was bloody fun, regardless.

Well, mostly Zydor sums up what I think about on-line games in general...

The point is they promise you an immense universe to explore, fantastic scenarios to play, immersive environments...

...but when you start playing you find tons of people who show you how they did everything before you did, better than you will ever have time to do, reveal you all the secrets of the game even if you didn't ask them, sometimes try to give you money even if you didn't ask them (spoiling the pleasure to succeed in earning your very first coins), oh, and if you (by chance and with great effort) reach a special/secret area, you'll find there hundreds of people who are talking like "LOL/ROTLF/NOOB" and so on... and I could go on forever with other examples.

On-line games don't give you *really* the chance to roleplay, to be immersed in something or to discover anything, they just suck because of all the "dumb teens" (pardon me, not that I have something against kids playing) that play like they have to destroy and own everything in the game.

Good single player, off-line, games *can* give you all this. Nontheless its a pity that the on-line gaming of the good players out there is ruined by a minority of gremlins.

Ok, sorry, maybe I was too harsh, but I just wanted to have my point go through.

BTW: I'm still playing Runescape from time to time, but I try to avoid all things I mentioned before, lol.

It's true in most games, but EVE actually has a fairly healthy population of strictly RP corps. Of course, you'd have to interact with non-RPers at some point, but at least you won't have it in your immediate surroundings.

One of the beauties of posting on one of Stardock's sister sites, JoeUser, is that pretty much any language (outside of personal threats) is tolerated.

You should've seen some of the insults bandied around those parts. Vivid.

If you want even more vitriol there is always the QT3 forums.

Not sure if Derek hangs around there still, but if you lucky you might run into him.

to the OP, its something called anger management... that isk begar was prbly just a new player anyway
