@Gix_Firebrand You _do_ know that it’s so obvious that Lucas and I are two different people but you’re too proud to admit you were wrong.

Hm, I seem to recall some of your first posts on this forum involved calling players here “[basement dwelling incels](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/evolving-eve-a-universal-income/285731/276)”. And you went back and mass deleted all your initial posts because they betrayed the fact that they’re all in the same vein.

And all the deletes to white-wash yourself so you can deceive people who don’t know better:

That’s true. All of the Gix posts are badly-worded taunts and veiled insults, almost like it’s a disturbed teenager who posts. The man - I’m guessing it’s  
a man, it could be a woman for all I know - must be _very_ angry inside. I wonder what happened but he needs to get over it because it’s affecting his online relationships and leaving bad marks on his game character. How will he ever be able to sell such a jerk on the Character Bazar if he ever needs to?

Oh? Whining? How so 😃

Heh. It must burn huh? Because you eventually get too emotional and start slinging insults and get checked hard.

Ain’t my fault you get emotional over pixels my boy 😃

Bad marks? Are we in school bruv?

Wut. Why would I ever sell my character? He is mine 😃 I created him and when the time comes and sail off from New Eden covered in the victory of being me and only me, never an alt and never false, he shall remain mine 😃

No bruv, but you need to go back to it because “a bad mark on” is perfect English, but of course for _you_ Rednecks English is a foreign language.

Simply saying “no” doesn’t rebut nor refute my argument, as much as you wish it to. Your accusation of “_baseless_” literally means lack of evidence, which is _objectively_ and _logically_ incorrect as I have submitted the following evidence:

The “cherrypick” is especially weak considering you only have yourself to blame for posting thousands of times posts that are vapid, void, or repeat of the same single content. Your ability to regurgitate sheer quantity of posts doesn’t provide you a meaningful defense when people earnestly take each and every you and your messages at full value, and your whole corpus of generated content earnestly.

A non-trivial amount of them were and are insults of the same nature you are criticizing. If you can’t handle the feedback nor have the maturity to acknowledge “yeah, I’ve said things I’m not proud of”, that’s still entirely a reflection _of your character and stubbornness and inability to reflect_ and not a commentary about the strength of my argument, no matter how much you wish it was. Which to outside observers seems absolutely indistinguishable from Gix’s behavior that you’re criticizing.

Do better.

Ok here’s an on topic question:

Does the increase of the subscription fee disuade the multiboxer more than the casual gamer, or is the person only running one account at a time actually more intensely impacted because the multiboxer is PLEXing more often to support their accounts?

Id be tempted back to Omega if I knew that the increased cost was making more multiboxing krab fleets quit.

Erm. And it means a bad grade in school. How embarrassing you don’t know that 😃

Why would redneck English be foreign? You don’t even know me bruv 😃

Or maybe I enjoy having a character in a spaceship vidya game 😃 I realize your whole life is driven by ISK, thus you cannot understand why I would never sell my one and only char 😃

You didn’t have to murder him like that 😃

I think tho, the main difference between Grampy Kells Rroff and I, is that he cannot feel or display joy in any form. Remember, this is a dude who can’t giggle.

I deeply enjoy the forums and EVE as a whole. He does not. He is addicted and it is all that he has. He’s basically Gollum. He loves EVE but loathes it. And now he’s attempting to destroy it because he can’t summon the willpower to walk away from a spaceship vidya game.

My leading theory is by him quitting he perceives it as CCP beating him. And he can’t have that of course, so crazily he continues to give them money for a product he hates. The reason why he wants to play until the server shuts off, is that then he can say he beat CCP.

Wild right? Imagine taking space pixels that serious. Yennoe, when you zoom out, it is kinda terrifying this is a grown adult that functions like this.

> [@Lucas\_Kell](#):

> I hold an opinion you dislike and as such you will attack me.

He isn’t tho. He’s merely providing evidence to refute your point, which it is. That isn’t an attack LOL.

Do you not know how to debate or

> so you’re accomplishing absolutely nothing with your line of attack.

Uh. He ROFLcoptered you into the ground. You’re fuming inside cause your delete storm didn’t catch it in time. Welcome to the interwebs brosefticle 😃
