You gotta love a game that provokes this kind of thread. I love EVE, I no longer play it because I get way too serious about it. It is way more addicting than any other game I have played. I understand the OP's delight in pulling off a risky venture and escaping a pirate while doing it. I also understand that by smack talking the pirate he has earned an enemy, nay a nemesis. That too is all part of the game. Pirates are an essential part of the game, without them EVE would not have the adreniline pumping, visceral feel that it has. I bet the next time the OP goes out on a similar run there will be an armada of pirates and bounty hunters looking for him. I just wish that I could play the game without it taking over my life. IT IS GREAT!
I think it's hilarious the contradiction of the people saying others can't distinguish between real life and a game, yet you're taking his story of survival so personally that you add a bounty onto him for being proud of getting away from someone who chose the douche lifestyle. There's no arguing this point; if you're going to choose that style of gameplay don't sugarcoat it and by attempting to justify that "you're just playing the game" when you know full well you're doing it at the expense of others. Nothing wrong with this style, the freedom allowed is something to behold, but at least be honest with the fact that you literally are a douche for doing so. Maybe then you'd earn a little more respect.
I personally condemn smacktalk in any game but the level of smack here is so insignificant and was more than likely produced by the adrenaline high of being chased through multiple jumps by a failure of a pirate. You take the game way too seriously but condemn others for the exact same reason. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Originally posted by CyberWiz Seems to me you are not much of an RP'er, because thats exactly what happened here : 1. Pirate or otherwise Hostile starts shooting someone 2. This someone gets away 3. This someone calls said hostile some names ... Sounds RP to me !
First lets set things clear, the issue here is not the OP smacking in local, if you play eve you will find legions of smackers, therefore you must be used to it. I for one couldn't care when less some one goes at it in local, i just ignore them. The issue is that the OP is claiming he got saved because of the use of his 1337 skills. He smacks a player, and then comes here and calls him a scum, the lowest of the low, etc etc.
The only reason for me to be posting here is to set clear 2 things:
1.- We are not pirates, we are a RP alliance and we prefer the term "terrorists" or "freedom fighters" (depending on the side of the conflict you are in), we shoot everyone who supports slavery and, therefore, we shoot anyone who supports CVA in Providence.
You put a nice "Friendly to CVA PAX AM SEV" in your bio?? then you are a target. The OP was a valid target, he was in Providence, and as he had mentioned here plenty of times, he is friendly to CVA. The OP also, is into fleet warfare, so, hes either caldari or amarr, or he would not be allowed to rat in CVA space, he should had known best before going into Providence. (altho i must grant him that it was his CEO who has his standings screwed over)
There are plenty of posts on Intergalactic Summit (EVE IC forums) where we warn all pilots about doing business with or supporting CVA.
2.-The OP lacks any of the skills he is boasting about, he is just plain lucky, as i said before, he hauls without an scout, and he doesn't listen to intel channels, (or don't have access to them), he goes into 0.0 without a knowledge of the region hostiles, and politics. I find it really incredible that he can be so naive as to not being worried in 0.0 when he sees an "orange" pilot, YOU ARE IN A FFA ZONE you should be worried by anyone who is not blue!.
I agree - and I rarely trusted blue - I have seen several "friendly fire" kills. "Oh, you were blue... my bad!" - though usually they compensate you for their mistake.
I can't believe you came here to defend yourself -- that only makes what the OP had to say ACTUALLY WORTHWHILE! The more you defend, the more pathetic it is! And I love how the idea of skill is something that can't possibly belong to the OP, as if it was your own exclusive domain, and yet the OP specifically mentions the timing of his shield boost, let alone the fact that you weren't able to counter a mere stab fitting (e.g. ever thought about bumping, huh? or is that beyond your current level of skill?)! Lulz! Calypso, I have tremendously enjoyed your sweet implied pirate tears! (You think carebear tears are sweet?!) I wonder how much more grief you'll encounter now that you've made it be known that you care about pilots besmirching your "good" name. Heck, you just might even redefine the term "carebear." And as for the rest of you whiners -- buckets of such sweet, implied tears in this thread from all of you! Bravo!
PS: Sorry, but I'm not an idiot who goes around confirming my in-game identity to forum whiners. I wish I could help, but i prefer to target you without your knowing so as to not spoil the suprise when I decloak off your six and start feeding my widowmaker up your afterburner. Oh, the sweet sweet tears I'm sure to enjoy playing internet spaceships then!
Troll much? Alois is that you again? did you went to create a sock puppet just to continue your trolling?...
i think is the same dood again... lest compare

PS: I gotta give you props for posting as yourself. I'd love to reveal who my main is but alas I run my mouth too much on public forums so must remain undercover

Nope not me. Continue to enjoy your forum pvp. He wrote a good post that I agree with tho
And what kind of logic is this anyway? Why would I need to post on alt forum account? I guess you are desperate to discredit all of these posters at this point
