Depends on how you bring it to them.

In my free time, I play the computergame <insert any of the following lines> ...

* "Day Of Defeat, where I play a nazi and I kill the invading allied forces for "our Führer, Adolf Hitler!". I'm very good at jumping and twirling around, one day that will save myself in real life !"
* "GTA Vee Five, where I play a psychopath mass murderer that steals cars, drives over people while I hunt for other people to shoot or blow up. Did I mention I'm drunk while doing all of that?"
* "Diablo II: Remastered, where I play a Paladin, that slays all of those nasty demon spawns! Gradually I descend into the rotting underbelly of HELL itself, and defeat... EL DIABLO! Did I mention I can see all the blood and gore in 4K?! Even Andariel's diseased titties!"

Which will make them be like :

However, they will not mind any of the things you said because you used the trigger word "COMPUTER GAME" and they will tell you "Isn't that just a waste of time?" or just scoff at your "COMPUTER GAME".

Yet, if you tell them you play a game that makes you analyse data in excell/google sheets, your superior will be like :

Was that in a hole?

I remember us melting a rorq that had been built in a hole way back when. This was before the rorq changes made them good and killing one in a hole was like slaying a unicorn because hardly anyone used one in K space and the idea of building on in J space was just stupid.


yes

These war comparisons are getting worse and worse. World War II was pretty good, Vietnam was eh, but now afghanistan? May as way say the gulf war or the civil war, or the trojan war, was just like World War Bee II.

IIRC, the falcon was lost in a region not covered but the guy who lost it went into an argument about it being lost on an OP. Too many words were exchanged over a stupid falcon and then came the post too close to the sun, the air lock , the not super kosher structure drop to help out the airlocked guy and some more air locking.

Were gamer words being exchanged? How can a forum probation not solve this problem? I am not trying to overly simplify a problem, just weird how a small problem can escalate to this kind of huge mess.

The falcon thing started as an AAD (ask a director) thread that threadnaughted (for AAD) to like 5 or 6 pages. Everyone generally had a good time there and no one was angry.

Then there was some shitposting in TWR and I think some logs got sent (jabber or discord I don’t remember) where once mittens read through them his schismatic antenna started twitching and he airlocked that guy.

Then, instead of just, like, quietly moving the guy’s stuff out for him, a bunch of big brains in hole squid leadership dropped a citadel for banned dude and added him to the ACL in like direct violation of several coalition policies.

So they got airlocked too, mostly for being loving dipshits and not using their brains instead of like schismatic poo poo.

We refer to it as falcon SRP because it’s generally just funnier that way instead of outlining everything else above.
