I mean turning on the PANIC mod makes a localized lightning storm happen in your shields. For sure that should wreak havoc with sensors and electronics equipment.

Well it's pleasant to not deal with negativity and just laid back chat now and then. If all you surround yourself with is bad then it kind of permeates through you and becomes you. I don't think we want that!

This thread is entirely capable of having a reasonable discussion about fittings, economics, and solo piloting, and even strategy to a degree.

We choose to indulge in political poo poo-posting because that's a legitimate and really enjoyable dimension of the game.

Sure it's fun to play in the sandbox, and make new friends. It's also fun to hate someone, or seek revenge, or try to impose your vision of the sandbox across an entire region of the galaxy.

That being said - can we get a rule that people need to keep their ephebophilia/furry cartoons out of the politics thread?

Hatred drove the great war in eve but that's coming up for a decade ago and despite wearisome efforts to the contrary it's never really worked again since. Resentment and bitterness have worked a bit since, as have mockery and even a surly sort of grudge, but not the perfect white heat of 2007-10 at its peak. I tried both, but found that plenty of information and a smattering of comedy worked far better for getting people to turn up to fleets for week after week than regurgitating the stuff that had worked in a very unusual situation.

Like two weeks ago they were all talking about how we weren't so bad and PL are the biggest bullies on the block and now it's nothing but "we killed a swordfleet!" and "did you know mittens told a guy to kill himself, a rare thing in the global 2010 internet culture?!"

Yeah the downward spiral of growing obsession and creepy behavior isn't funny anymore...

I'm sure you drew a very suggestive cartoon featuring a squid molesting a dragon and posted it on something awful dot com in the EVE poo poo-posting thread expecting us to appreciate your artistic talents, right? Not to provoke someone into remarking on what a loving trainwreck you are you so you can act indignant and get an honorable third party to white knight you...

Your attempts at instigating poo poo are so obvious I can't tell if it's Xenuria-like super-meta-humor bullshit or what.

Basically that though I don't think its a sign of EPHEBOPHILIA, whatever that means, but its definitely Zephyrine trying to be cutesy with cartoons and instead coming across as a creepy weirdo type who has furry tendencies.

e: just googled it

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thats a pretty strong accusation to throw zephy's way.

A pathetic sycophant with no self esteem, no dignity, and with cognitive dissonance turned up to 11 she is. Pedo she isn't.

Do you typically become incoherent when someone calls you out on your cringe-worthy conduct, or am I some kind of special that justifies your brain assembling that sentence and being like "yeah, this makes total sense this is fine"?

The ephebophilia comment was about frozenpussy. I'm not sure if you were participating when that happened - it was funny but also very creepy just like Zeph.

I didn't miss out on making fun of frozenpussy being the dude responsible for ELSA last year. It just didn't click right this second.

She basically admitted last month to having no social compass whatsoever so her mind is probably working overtime trying to make sense of our words and what they really really mean. She's due to shutdown and disappear from the thread anytime now because we are WAY out of her comfort zone.

So it looks like you guys are in the middle of something here, and this might not be the right place to ask, but the other Eve thread I found is pretty quiet.

Since the game is f2p now, any reason to buy the starter pack on Steam if I am interested in checking the game out?

I am kind of curious about what is driving whatever is going on in the thread right now.

This Steam starter pack?

    The ORE Venture mining frigate
    A full set of modules and equipment to kit out your ship
    Extra skills, ready to train
    Blueprints to build the Venture and the deadly Corax destroyer
    A Mobile Depot personal deployable
    Avatar apparel: male “Esquire” and female “Executor” coats (black)
    Prototype Cerebral Accelerator (skill booster)
    30 days of game time

No, that is not worth :10bux::10bux: - just start a free alpha account and upgrade to an omega clone if you want to keep playing and are tired of flying frigates

On EVE: Just try it with a free account and join up with goonfleet. They are always good to newbies. Fly around in a tackle frigate and start killing dudes on your first day and you'll be showered in millions and billions of space bucks.

As for whats going on, don't concern yourself with it, its just bullshit between vets.

You've got almost all of the amarr dread skills trained to II. At least finish training them to IV (dread, cap turret, tactical weapons reconfig). Won't take long, significantly increases the utility.

Goons are largely old and bitter, which makes them (A) love cute newbees and (B) forget the possibility someone can actually be new. Don't beg, but don't miss your chance to subtly work in "hey this is my first fleet, I think I tackled something before I exploded". People enjoy helping out.

Also, go on the forums and, between awful shitposts, sign up for all the free stuff.
